Barium Crosslinking in Bio‐Based Sodium Alginate Films: Improved Barrier and Thermal Performance Toward Biodegradable Packaging Applications

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract summarizes the development and characterization of sodium alginate biodegradable films crosslinked with barium chloride (BaCl2) at concentrations of 1%, 2%, and 5% (w/v). Sodium alginate was dissolved in water, cast into films, and subsequently immersed in BaCl2 solutions to promote ionic crosslinking.

From Agro‐Industrial Waste to Functional Packaging Using Antimicrobial and Mechanically Reinforced Starch Foams With Melon Seed and Rosemary

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Agro‐industrial waste was upcycled into biodegradable starch foams reinforced with melon seed and rosemary flours, yielding sustainable food packaging with enhanced mechanical performance, selective antimicrobial activity, and rapid biodegradation. ABSTRACT The demand for sustainable alternatives to petroleum‐based packaging has promoted starch‐based ...

Bounded self-stabilizing Petri nets

, 2005
We investigate the property of self-stabilization in bounded Petri nets. We give characterizations for both self-stabilizing bounded ordinary Petri nets (i.e., Petri nets without multiple arcs) and self-stabilizing bounded general Petri nets (i.e., Petri

Multivariate Analysis of Hematological Stress Biomarkers and Welfare Domains in Organic and Intensive Pig Farming in Italy: A Pilot Study

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Intensive or organic farming systems may expose pigs to management or environmental challenges. Our preliminary results concluded that organic farming might enhance adaptive immune function, showing that improvements in welfare can translate into measurable immunological benefits, based on the correlation between welfare assessment and physiological ...

Transfersomes with core and surface‐loaded NF‐κB p65 siRNA for enhanced transdermal transfection and effective treatment of psoriasis

BMEMat, EarlyView.
TCPL, a transfersome with Tween 80 and PEI, enables efficient transdermal siNF‐κB delivery, resolving PEI's toxicity issue. It promotes lysosomal escape and effective transfection, silences NF‐κB, modulates immunity, and inhibits angiogenesis, alleviating psoriasis. With good biocompatibility, TCPL holds strong clinical translation potential. Schematic

The Fast, the Steady and the Tenacious: Funding Pathways for Circular Start‐Ups

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Circular start‐ups (CSUs) are critical for unlocking the circular economy, yet they face persistent barriers in accessing finance. Despite growing interest from policymakers and financing institutions, little empirical evidence explains how these ventures pursue and secure funding.

Elucidating the Interplay Between Structure and Electrochemical Behavior in Lignin‐Based Polymer Electrolytes for Potassium Batteries

Battery Energy, Volume 4, Issue 2, March 2025.
Three biobased membranes are synthesized by crosslinking oxidized Kraft lignin with poly(ethylene glycol) diglycidyl ether of increasing molecular weights. After incorporation of solvated potassium salts, potassium batteries including these biobased gel polymer electrolytes are able to deliver a maximum specific capacity at 0.05 A g−1 as high as 130 ...

Double Sided Traction Force Microscopy: A Method to Confine Cells for Physiologically Relevant Force Measurements

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this paper we describe a technique to make a confined environment of variable stiffness that is suitable for high‐resolution live‐cell imaging. This versatile and adaptable technique enables cell confinement between soft elastic surfaces made from polyacrylamide gels.

Directional and gradient patterning from sub‐microliter colloidal droplet evaporation on inclined and stretched soft substrates

Droplet, EarlyView.
Instead of suppressing the ubiquitous “coffee‐ring” effect, we harness it by integrating stretching, inclination, and rotation of soft substrates. This sequential control allows manipulation of global pattern symmetry and local morphology. By incorporating substrate inclination and rotation of stretched soft substrates, we create diverse patterns that ...
