Unlocking landscape transient dynamics: Integrating traditional ecological knowledge for enhanced analysis of land‐use changes and forest expansion in a Mediterranean ecosystem

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The Industrial Revolution triggered rural abandonment in Europe and had a profound impact on land configuration and ecosystem dynamics, mainly the growth of forests at the expense of open agricultural habitats. However, rural abandonment has been asynchronous in space and time, depending on regional socio‐economic dynamics.

Structural and Dynamic Origins of Payne Effect Reduction by Steric Stabilization in Silica Reinforced Poly(butadiene) Nanocomposites

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
Steric stabilisation of silica nanoparticles suppresses the Payne effect in poly(butadiene) nanocomposites and enables the thickness of the glassy layer to be quantified with QENS experiments. ABSTRACT Silica nanoparticles in polybutadiene nanocomposites cause significantly hindered polymer dynamics in the form of a glassy layer, which can extend more ...

Low‐Velocity Impact Response of Nacre‐Inspired E‐Glass/Epoxy Composites With Varying Platelet Sizes

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
Impact response of nacre‐inspired E‐glass/epoxy composites with different platelet sizes. ABSTRACT This study explores the low‐velocity impact behavior of nacre‐inspired biomimetic platelet composites (NIBPC), using low‐cost E‐glass fiber in chopped strand mat (CSM) form as reinforcement and epoxy resin as the matrix.
