A biodegradable polylactic acid–polybutylene adipate terephthalate–starch polymer blend for geotextile applications

Polymer International, Volume 75, Issue 2, Page 111-120, February 2026.
Biodegradable polymer blends are environmentally friendly materials with the ability to tailor material properties according to requirements. Abstract Geotextiles are typically used to stabilize steep earthen structures to prevent landslides. Usually, such geotextiles are made from petrol‐based polymers (such as polypropylene), but the use of ...

Agricultural System Resilience of Industrial Hemp: An Exploratory Value Web Analysis in the Swabian Alb

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study assessed the industrial hemp value web resilience in the Swabian Alb, Southern Germany, where regional implementation remains limited despite hemp's bioeconomy potential. Using an indicator framework and stakeholder interviews, the research found the small, fluctuating cultivation area (e.g., 25 ha in 2024) focuses on hemp seed valorisation;

Field studies on the soil loss reduction effectiveness of three biodegradable geotextiles

Journal of Agricultural Engineering, 2018
Biodegradable geotextiles have the potential to significantly reduce soil loss and ensure slope stability in areas at risk. Here, we focus on three biodegradable textiles (namely, jute net, jute mat, and wool mat), and study their response in terms of ...

The Role of Patents in Circular Innovation: The Case of Sustainable and Recyclable Materials in the Textile Industry

Business Strategy and the Environment, Volume 35, Issue 1, Page 967-1002, January 2026.
ABSTRACT This article examines whether and how patenting advances circular innovation and therefore contributes to the sociotechnical transition toward a circular economy. Using the multilevel perspective (MLP) as a theoretical framework, we conducted a case study set in the empirical context of man‐made cellulosic fibers. These heavily patented fibers

Effect of Vertical Spacing Between Prefabricated Horizontal Drains on Vacuum Preloading of Dredged Slurry

Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The vacuum preloading combined with prefabricated horizontal drain (PHD) is an effective foundation treatment method for high‐water‐content dredged slurry. As the key design parameter of PHD vacuum preloading technology, the vertical spacing of PHD directly affects dredged slurry consolidation efficiency. However, its optimal value has not been clearly

Centrifugal model tests on geotextile-reinforced heightening projects of soil embankments

Yantu gongcheng xuebao
Geotextiles are widely used to reinforce slopes, but they have not yet been effectively applied in heightening projects of soil embankments. The centrifugal model tests are conducted on the elevated soil embankments with geotextile reinforcement under ...
