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 ...

Digitizing collections to unlock the full potential of palynology: A case study with the Smithsonian palynology collection

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.

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 ...

High‐Resolution Mapping of Discharge Product in Li─O2 Batteries

Small Methods, EarlyView.
Li─O2 batteries promise exceptional energy density, but have several factors limiting performance, such as poor rate performance. To understand rate limitations, scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy and X‐ray nano‐computed tomography were employed to map the distribution of discharge products in discharged air ...

Recycling of Mill Scale Into High‐Purity Iron Through Hydrogen‐Based Reduction

steel research international, EarlyView.
Mill scale, an iron oxide–rich steel by‐product, is difficult to recycle due to impurities. This study evaluates hydrogen‐based direct reduction and hydrogen plasma smelting reduction as low‐carbon recycling routes. Impurity segregation limits reduction kinetics. Direct reduction achieves 92% conversion in 180 min, while plasma reduction reaches 91% in

Hevea brasiliensis seeds: A novel sustainable feedstock for ethanol production

Vietnam Journal of Chemistry, EarlyView.
Abstract The rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) is cultivated on a large scale mainly for the extraction of latex in Brazil and Southeast Asia, also generating large quantities of seeds. These seeds currently do not have large‐scale applications and may thus be considered as a residue.

Taphonomy of fossilized resins: determining the biostratinomy of amber

Acta geológica hispánica, 2000
Comparing the maturity of fossilized resins with that of their enclosing bedrock can provide information on the maturity, relative age and biostratinomy of amber and copal. A method to determine this is presented here with examples of amber and copal from the Dominican Republic. Maturity of the bedrock was determined by vitrinite reflection and that of
