Moisture Absorption in Highly Porous Closed‐Cell Polymeric Foams

Polymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
The conventional one‐dimensional hindered diffusion model has been extended into a new Void Filling Hindered Diffusion Model. By quantifying the moisture stored within closed‐cell pores, this model successfully captures the distinct absorption behaviors observed across varying foam thicknesses.

Structural and Rheological Properties of Chitosan‐Biochar Composites Prepared With Waste Biomass‐Derived Biochar

Polymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
Chitosan dispersions containing biochar derived from vine pruning residue showed increasing shear stress and improved thermal stability with loading. Flow behavior was described by the Bingham plastic model in all cases. These results support the valorization of agricultural waste in functional biopolymer formulations.

Influence of sulfonation degree and deposition technique on the electrical and morphological properties of sulfonated polystyrene thin films

Polymer International, EarlyView.
Sulfonated polystyrene films with different degrees of sulfonation were fabricated using Langmuir–Schaefer and drop‐casting techniques. Both the deposition method and sulfonation level strongly affect film morphology and electrical response, governing the performance of these materials as ammonia gas sensors.

Baicalein Sensitizes Radioresistant BT549 and MCF7‐R Breast Cancer Cells by Modulating Rac1 Signaling

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Radioresistance remains a key barrier in breast cancer (BC) treatment. Baicalein, a flavonoid from Scutellaria baicalensis, has shown potential to enhance radiosensitivity. This study investigates its efficacy and mechanism in radioresistant BC models. Radioresistant BC cell models were established via fractionated irradiation and validated by

Mixed TiO2–SiO2 thin coatings for selective adsorption and sunlight‐powered photodegradation of cationic pollutants

Responsive Materials, EarlyView.
Environmental pollution and water scarcity demand innovative purification methods. This study presents a sol‐gel approach to fabricate mixed silica–titania thin films joining photocatalytic activity with selective sorption capability. The films exhibit higher surface area, enhanced degradation of cationic and improved performance over bare titania ...

Solar‐Powered Water Depollution Through a Bioinspired Device Based on ZIF‐8 Loaded Macroporous Hydrogels Prepared via Ice‐Templating

Small, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Water pollution poses a constant threat to the environment and is one of the central causes for global shortage of clean water. Metal–Organic Frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as highly efficient adsorbents; however, their application is limited by their common production as fine powders, which hinders recovery and reuse.
