Comparison of conjunctival pedicle flap to corneal fixation strength achieved by Tisseel® fibrin glue, ethyl cyanoacrylate adhesive, ReSure® hydrogel sealant, and conventional suturing with 8‐0 VICRYL® ophthalmic suture

Veterinary Ophthalmology, Volume 28, Issue 2, Page 253-263, March 2025.
Abstract Objective To determine and compare the fixation strength of conjunctival pedicle flaps to cornea achieved via conventional ophthalmic suture and three different adhesive compounds. Animals Studied Ex vivo porcine globes. Procedures Following a 6 mm wide 500‐micron‐restricted depth lamellar keratectomy, conjunctival pedicle flaps were secured ...

Synergistic Integration of LiCF3SO3 in PVdF‐HFP/PVAc Polymer Blends: Multifaceted Analysis From Microstructure to Electrochemical Properties

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 41, November 5, 2026.
Solid polymer electrolyte films of PVdF‐HFP/PVAc blend with LiCF3SO3 were prepared by solution casting. XRD, FESEM, and FTIR confirmed reduced crystallinity and enhanced amorphous nature. Ionic conductivity reached 3.46 × 10−4 S cm−1 for optimized SP4.

Sustainable and Seismically Resilient Confined Masonry: Global Progress in Research and Design Practice

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 4, November 2026.
Modern confined masonry (CM) construction consists of masonry walls confined by reinforced concrete (RC) tie‐columns and tie‐beams. When built correctly, CM buildings have shown good performance in earthquake's shaking. Even though CM construction has been practised for almost a century in some Latin American countries, its use and standardisation are ...

Material Characterization of Lignin‐Filled Polypropylene Composites

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 40, October 20, 2026.
Ground and spray‐dried lignin powders are compared as fillers for polypropylene composites. Differences in powder preparation methods are associated with differences in powder characteristics and composite behavior after melt compounding. Spray‐dried lignin produces smaller particles and fewer large agglomerates, while a 5 wt% lignin loading provides a

Innovative Metal‐Modified Resins via 3D Printing of Triply Periodic Minimal Surface Structures

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 39, October 15, 2026.
A solvent‐free dual‐monomer strategy enables the direct 3D printing of nickel‐containing TPMS catalyst supports with uniform metal distribution and preserved open‐channel architecture. The resulting structures exhibit excellent printability, thermal and water stability, and enhanced flexibility, offering a promising platform for next‐generation ...

Laser Surface Treatment of Nickel‐Alumina Coating for Enhancement of Erosion and Corrosion Resistance of High Speed Steel Vanes

Applied Research, Volume 5, Issue 5, October 2026.
Laser surface treatment was carried out to enhance the performance of Ni‐Al2O3 coatings on HSS substrates. The results revealed improved microstructural features, corrosion resistance and significant reduction in slurry erosion wear with 18 W laser treatment. ABSTRACT The sliding wear between hydraulic vane tip and the inner surface of the cam ring can

Calligraphy‐Brush‐Fabricated Xuan Paper for Sustainable Direct‐Current Triboelectric Nanogenerators in Human‐Motion Energy Harvesting and Biomedical Sensing

EcoMat, Volume 8, Issue 10, October 2026.
A sustainable direct‐current triboelectric nanogenerator (DC‐TENG) was fabricated using brush‐coated Xuan paper and a water‐processable PEDOT:PSS/PVA/pullulan conductive network. The cellulose‐based composite enables intrinsic rectifier‐free DC output through interfacial charge transport at the Al/conductive interface, demonstrating an eco‐friendly ...
