Improvement of mechanical, dynamic mechanical, and thermal properties of almond shell powder reinforced acrylonitrile butadiene styrene composites by addition of cerium oxide

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
Mechanical and Thermal Properties of Almond Shell Powder and CeO2 Reinforced ABS Composites. Abstract Currently, natural materials are gradually replacing synthetic materials in polymer composites due to factors including cost‐effectiveness, sustainability, and the availability of raw materials. This study examined the variations in thermal, mechanical,

Polybutadiene Modification of Brown Grease‐Sulfur Materials

open access: yesJournal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Composites from brown grease and elemental sulfur, reinforced with polybutadiene. ABSTRACT High sulfur‐content materials (HSMs) prepared via inverse vulcanization are attractive for a range of sustainable material applications, particularly when synthesized from waste‐derived feedstocks such as brown grease (BG).

The pick of the plot: An evidence‐based approach for selecting and testing suitable plants to use in annual seed mixes to attract insect pollinators

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Concern regarding wild pollinator declines has increased motivation to plant pollinator‐friendly plants in gardens and urban areas, but ‘plants for pollinators’ recommendations are often anecdotal and inaccurate. Here, we use a scientific evidence base to design and test annual flowering seed mixes for bees and hoverflies.

Harnessing entomopathogenic fungi: A meta‐analysis on their role as plant growth promoters

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Our meta‐analysis highlights the potential of entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) as sustainable alternatives to chemical pesticides and fertilisers. By promoting plant growth and reducing reliance on agrochemicals, EPF can support healthier crops, minimise environmental contamination and improve profitability within food production systems.
