Linking Process‐Induced Degradation to Mechanical Property Deterioration in Flax Fiber–Reinforced Bio‐Polymer Matrix Composites

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Effect of processing‐induced thermal degradation on the mechanical performance of thermoplastic flax fiber composites. ABSTRACT The drawback of biobased polymer matrix composites (PMCs) is their limited temperature stability, resulting from degradation, which restricts their processability in established composite manufacturing processes requiring ...

Characteristics, properties and limitations of per‐ or polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) and fluoropolymers

Polymer International, EarlyView.
An overview and categorization of man‐made per‐ or polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) including low‐molar‐mass and high‐molar‐mass fluorochemicals, and their international regulations is presented. Though certain PFASs are toxic, bioaccumulative and cross the human cellular membranes, others, such as fluoropolymers, are safe, reliable and involved in ...

Pesticide exposure of operators during mixing and loading a drone: towards a stratified exposure assessment

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Operators are exposed to concentrated formulation during mixing of pesticide into the nurse tank and to an in‐use dilution during loading the drone; stratification of exposure for mixing and loading would inform the exposure assessment approach by applying the appropriate dermal absorption considerations.

Towards SDG‐Aligned Carbon Neutrality in EU Countries: How Energy Policy, Energy R&D Budget, and Sustainable Growth Shape the Transition?

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper presents a comprehensive policy framework for achieving Sustainable Development Goals 7 and 9 and evaluates the EU's carbon neutrality target for 2050. In this context, the effects of renewable energy consumption, energy R&D budget, energy taxes, and economic growth on the carbon footprint are examined for nine selected EU countries
