Light‐Weight Sustainable Composite From Virgin and Recycled Polypropylene Blends and Biocarbon for Automotive Part Application

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
The circular utilization of automotive recycled polypropylene (rPP) blended with virgin polymer and waste‐derived biocarbon to develop sustainable composite materials. The composites were processed via melt compounding and injection molding. The addition of sustainable biocarbon lowered the coefficient of linear thermal expansion and maleic anhydride ...

The 9+ month marathon: How pregnancy may have shaped human endurance capacities

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Anthropology has long considered the evolution of our uniquely human endurance capacities to be the result of selection upon anatomical and physiological features imposed by the demands of thermoregulation and resource acquisition, particularly during the demands of persistence hunting. Research has focused on the anatomical changes present in
