Graphene Oxide as an Auxiliary UV Photoprotector for Polypropylene
Auxiliary UV Protection. ABSTRACT This work presents the preparation and characterization of polypropylene (PP)/graphene oxide (GO) nanocomposites by adding photostabilizing additives to obtain materials with enhanced resistance to photodegradation. The synthesized GO (modified Hummers' method) was characterized using state‐of‐the‐art techniques.

Institutions, in time: Designing feedback pathways for shared infrastructure transitions
Abstract Electric utilities, challenged by a rapidly unfolding energy transition, use many informal institutions to bridge across technologies and sectors. Little is known, however, about how electric utility systems and other polycentric systems' institutions‐in‐use vary and evolve over time.
