Valorization of Juice Industry Waste Into Foam‐Like Materials Using Mycelium as Natural Binder

CleanMat, EarlyView.
This study explores converting carrot pomace, a juice industry byproduct, into eco‐friendly mycelium‐based foams using Aspergillus oryzae. The foams, produced via submerged cultivation, grinding and freeze‐drying, showed promising mechanical properties comparable to commercial foams, offering a sustainable alternative to synthetics while promoting ...

Board That Transforms: Relationship Between Board Structure and Environmental, Social, and Governance Performance in BRICS Countries

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between board composition characteristics and ESG performance in companies from BRICS countries, and to assess how sector sensitivity moderates this relationship. A sample of 2045 BRICS companies was examined using panel data regression with random effects and logistic regression ...

Dual‐Functional Sulfonated Nanocellulose for Proton Exchange Membranes With High Proton Conductivity at Low Humidity

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A scalable dual‐functional strategy yields simultaneously sulfonated and nanosized cellulose for proton exchange membranes with continuous hydrogen‐bond networks. These sustainable membranes exhibit low‐humidity proton conductivity twofold higher than Nafion 212, providing a robust solution for next‐generation fuel cells.

Low‐Hysteresis Cellulose‐Based Hydrogels for Strain Detecting

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Low‐hysteresis hydrogel with high cellulose content is prepared. The modified cellulose is prepared through a sequential periodate oxidation and borohydride reduction process. The hydrogel can be used as a strain sensor with a gauge factor of 1.1 in the 0%–300% sensing range.
