Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review
VIEW, EarlyView.Implant‐associated infections pose serious clinical challenges. Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) modifications overcome this bottleneck in distinct ways relative to traditional sterilization methods. Gas‐phase plasmas generate highly energetic species, UV radiation and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS), which alter the implant surface properties.

Making Mining Licit: Gold, Commodification, and the Everyday Performance of Law in Colombia
American Anthropologist, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Ethnographies of resource‐making have shown that the extraction of resource value from objects is premised on obviating the emplaced lifeworlds that surrounded objects before they traveled to consumer markets. Much of this literature looks at such supply‐chain disentanglement from the viewpoint of corporate and formal regulatory practices ...

Fatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In this study, the fracture response of polypropylene (PP) was assessed using J‐integral evaluation, J‐R curve construction, and fractography examination. J‐R and load–displacement curves were analyzed to determine critical loads and estimate J‐integral values based on standards established for polymer fracture testing, which led to the ...

Engineered surface strategies to manage dental implant‐related infections
Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.Abstract When exposed to the oral environment, dental implants, like natural surfaces, become substrates for microbial adhesion and accumulation, often leading to implant‐related infections—one of the main causes of implant failure. These failures impose significant costs on patients, clinicians, and healthcare systems.

SPE Polymers, Volume 7, Issue 3, July 2026.Symmetrical Jute/JUCO/Glass hybrid epoxy composites were reinforced with TiO2 and CuO microparticles. Incorporating 3 wt.% CuO increased tensile strength by up to 63.7%, while 3 wt.% TiO2 maximized flexural and impact properties alongside superior moisture resistance, demonstrating that these fillers significantly enhance natural fiber biocomposites ...
