Biodegradable Polymers for Plant Nutrient Delivery and Recovery

open access: yesMacromolecular Bioscience, EarlyView.
This review article discusses the use of biodegradable polymers to address several grand challenges in agriculture: to improve the delivery of nitrogen and phosphorous to crops, to optimize plant uptake, and to enhance the recovery of these nutrients from wastewater, to recycle them and reduce water pollution. Abstract The current use of fertilizers is

Cobalt–Oxygen Bond Homolysis in the Bench‐Stable (Salen*)Cobalt(III) Acetate Complex: Insight into the Organometallic Mediated Radical Polymerization of Diverse Monomers

open access: yesMacromolecular Chemistry and Physics, EarlyView.
The air‐stable [(Salen*)Co(OAc)] complex initiates the radical polymerization of vinyl monomers via Co–O bond homolysis, distinguishing it from classical air‐sensitive cobalt complexes relying on Co‐C bond cleavage. Accordingly, MMA polymerization proceeds via catalytic chain‐transfer while MA undergoes controlled OMRP involving two distinct initiation

Red Mud as an Additive in the Extrusion of Protein‐Based Porous Materials

open access: yesMacromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.
Protein‐based foams from agricultural by‐products were altered using red mud, a waste from alumina production, as an additive. Red mud significantly increased elasticity, acting as a plasticizer and redox agent. Strain at break reached 190% in high‐gluten content foams with raw red mud, demonstrating red mud's potential as a sustainable additive for ...

Practical Applications of Secondary/Extractive Electrospray Ionization (SESI): A Versatile Tool for Real‐Time Chemical Analysis

open access: yesMass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the 1980s, researchers discovered the remarkable ability of electrospray plumes to effectively ionize gas‐phase molecules via secondary ionization. Around 20 years later—coinciding with the ambient mass spectrometry revolution—secondary electrospray ionization (SESI) and extractive electrospray ionization (EESI) coupled to mass spectrometry
