Influence of crosslinker on the properties of terpene‐based poly(high internal phase emulsion)s

Polymer International, EarlyView.
Myrcene was polymerized and crosslinked with hydrophilic monomeric and oligomeric dimethacrylates within high internal phase emulsions to produce hierarchically porous bio‐based poly(high internal phase emulsion)s with tuned morphology and mechanical properties.

Nanoemulsions for Skin Delivery of Essential Oils: A Systematic Review

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Essential oils (EOs) are recognized for their multiple health benefits. However, their high volatility, low stability, and limited water solubility limit their effective application. This systematic review aims to assess the use of nanoemulsions as delivery systems for the topical administration of EOs, highlighting their efficacy, safety, and

Illicit Drug‐Derived Volatile Organic Compounds as Markers for Application in Noncontact Detection Technology

The Chemical Record, EarlyView.
This review highlights the characteristic odor markers of illicit drugs, emphasizing volatile markers from both natural and synthetic sources, and explores the shift from canine‐based detection to emerging noncontact sensing technologies. Illicit drug use remains a global concern, requiring effective detection methods to counter evolving concealment ...
