Enhancing PET Printability via Solid‐State Polymerization: Structure‐Processing‐Properties Relationships

Polymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
Solid‐state polymerization (SSP) enhances rheological properties, filament stability, and adjusts crystallization issues for improved PET 3D printability. ABSTRACT This paper aims to investigate the impact of solid‐state polymerization (SSP) on the printability of PET for 3D printing.

Effects of aging of radioactive fallout on timely decontamination of concrete using low and mild pressure washing

Heliyon
Timely decontamination will reduce the consequences of a radiological contamination event. For this purpose, pressure washing can be rapidly deployed, but its effectiveness will change if the interactions between the surface and radionuclides changes as ...

Biosurfactant production by Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from mining waste: From genomic analysis to development of a polymeric composite for removal of hexavalent chromium

Polymer International, EarlyView.
Biosurfactant was produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa using andiroba waste from Amazonia. A biosurfactant–alginate composite (Alg/BioS) was successfully synthesized via ionotropic gelation, and achieved up to 70% Cr6+ removal from water. Abstract Environmental contamination by heavy metals represents a significant challenge due to their persistence in ...

Determining frequencies of fungicide resistance in Leptosphaeria maculans that render demethylation inhibitor fungicides ineffective in the field

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
As little as 1–10% of the population is needed to be resistant for demethylation inhibitor fungicides to be rendered ineffective. Following a single round of selection, the frequency increases by more than 15% with limited fitness penalty detected when no selection is present.

Impact of Packaging and Recycling Systems on Material Recirculation: A Stage‐Decomposition Model

Packaging Technology and Science, EarlyView.
A system‐level view emerges from decomposing recycling into four stages (participation, collection, sorting and process yield), diagnosing constraints and targeting interventions. Cumulative equivalent uses (CEUs) quantify long‐term retention, revealing marginal improvements at high baselines generate disproportionately larger gains than low‐baseline ...

Practical Methodology for Developing Visions for Carbon‐Neutral Cities and Communities

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cities and communities play important roles in sustainable development and climate change mitigation. This study presents a novel framework for developing carbon‐neutral visions for cities and communities. We established five “principles,” investigated options encompassing four parameters (management, goal setting, actions, and quantification),

Metal‐Free Ternary‐Composite Aerogel Based on Graphitic Carbon Nitride, Graphene Oxide, and β‐Cyclodextrin for Synergistic Adsorption and Photodegradation of Organic Dyes

Small, EarlyView.
A novel metal‐free g‐C3N4/GO/β‐CD aerogel exhibits a high adsorption capacity of 653.2 mg/g for RhB. The synergistic adsorption‐degradation effect of the aerogel enables the complete elimination of organic dyes. Fixed‐bed and recyclability tests demonstrate its potential for continuous industrial wastewater treatment.
