Nanoplastics: Methods, Exposure and Effects on Domestic, Farm and Wild Animals

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nanoplastics (NPs) are synthetic polymer particles ranging in size from 1 nm to 1 μm that have been identified as a major concern for ecosystems and organisms due to their plethora of negative effects. The aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of the knowledge relating to exposure and effects of NPs in domestic (i.e., farm ...

Liquid Crystal Elastomers Filaments for Adaptive Textiles and Soft Robotics: A Processing‐Centric Review

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Liquid crystal elastomer (LCE) filaments are fabricated through extrusion with in‐process UV curing, enabling controlled flow alignment and network locking of mesogens. The resulting structure responds to thermal or optical stimuli, inducing molecular reorientation and macroscopic contraction.

Structural, Thermal and Mechanical Assessment of Green Compounds with Natural Rubber

Macromol
The inadequate disposal of tires poses a significant threat to human health and requires effective recycling solutions. The crosslinked structure of rubber, formed through sulfur bridges during vulcanization, presents a major challenge for recycling ...

Clinical Outcome Assessments for Functional Performance in Spastic Paresis: Systematic Review, Critique, and Recommendations

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Spastic paresis, resulting from central nervous system lesions, significantly impairs functional performance. In the framework of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health, functional performance was defined as functioning at the activity level in relation to the impairment of body functions and ...

Microstructural phenomena in ground tire rubber (GTR) devulcanized via combined thermochemomechanical and microwave processes monitored by FTIR and DTGA assisted by other techniques

eXPRESS Polymer Letters
Analyzing rubber waste is crucial for value-added recycling, but the multitude of ingredients in vulcanized networks makes it challenging to characterize cross-linked rubbers. A combination of analytical techniques is usually required. In this study, two

The dominance of non‐native plants over native plants increases with the number of global change factors

Oikos, EarlyView.
Global environmental change and plant invasion are both recognized as key indicators of the Anthropocene. Still, how the number of co‐acting global change factors (GCFs) influence invaded plant communities remains unclear, even though in nature GCFs usually act together rather than alone.
