Exploring biofiber properties and their influence on biocomposite tensile properties
Polymer International, EarlyView.The study measured the physical, flow and chemical properties of 10 biofibers. It characterized the tensile properties of derived biocomposites and linked them using regression models, showing robust predictive performance. Abstract Biofibers serve as effective reinforcements for neat polylactic acid (PLA) in biocomposites, offering an attractive ...

X-ray based tree ring analyses [PDF]
, 2004 In this thesis, two x-ray based dendro-analyses (batch-wise microdensitometry and energy dispersive x-ray fluorescence (EDXRF)) and the conditions under which these methods could be used on the two typical boreal conifers Norway spruce (Picea abies (L ...

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Large palynological collections have been built over decades and contain vital information. However, they are often difficult to access and use effectively. What is the point of having such collections if they are not fully utilizable? To solve this problem, we digitized the Smithsonian palynological collection using both light and confocal microscopy.

Packaging Technology and Science, EarlyView.The study quantifies environmental impacts of 1 L of ultra‐high‐temperature milk bottles, comparing a 50% recycled opaque PET (rPET) bottle with 100% virgin PET bottles under closed‐loop and non‐closed‐loop recycling scenarios. Results show that 50% opaque rPET bottles outperform 100% virgin PET bottles across all impact categories, enabled by an ...

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 ...
