Bio‐Based Wax Interfaces for Droplet Energy Harvesting at Fluoropolymer‐Like Output Levels
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Replacing unsustainable fluorinated polymers in droplet‐based energy harvesters is usually limited by low power outputs, but carefully selected bio‐based polymers are capable of creating fluoropolymer‐like voltage outputs. Abstract Droplet impact and rebound on solid surfaces has emerged as a promising method for energy harvesting, typically ...

Micromorpho‐anatomical studies on the leaves and woods of Turkish Daphne (Thymelaeaceae) taxa
Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.The identification of Daphne taxa is difficult because of the lack of available morphological characteristics. Here, we aimed to describe leaf and wood micromorpho‐anatomical characteristics of native Turkish Daphne taxa (D. glomerata, D. gnidioides, D. mezereum, D. mucronata, D. oleoides subsp. kurdica, D. pontica and D.

Effects of bioinsecticide exposure route on aphids and their natural enemies in oilseed rape
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Fatty acids, silicone polymers and surfactants reduced aphid numbers but caused natural enemy mortality under direct exposure, while minimal residual activity suggests potential for targeted, compatible use in integrated pest management. Abstract BACKGROUND Myzus persicae Sulzer and Brevicoryne brassicae L.

Ultrastructure of Epicuticular Wax in Canola
Zeitschrift für Naturforschung C, 1989 Ultrastructure of the epicuticular wax of four commercially grown Canadian cultivars of canola (Brassica campestris cvs. Tobin and Candle, B. napus cvs. Altex and Westar) was investigated. Freeze-drying and air-drying methods of specimen preparation for scanning electron microscopy were compared.
