Leveraging Life Cycle Assessment for Informing Packaging Eco‐Design and Eco‐Modulation

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Eco‐modulation is designed to promote the adoption of eco‐design. However, in practice, its application is mostly concentrated on end‐of‐life (EoL) optimization. This study addresses the gap by proposing a framework to assess product–packaging systems as integrated units throughout the full life cycle.

Microplastic Detectability Investigation in Soils Using X‐Ray Microtomography

X-Ray Spectrometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT X‐ray microtomography (microCT) is a promising tool for investigating microplastic (MP) contamination in soils, offering non‐destructive 3D visualization and quantitative analysis of particles embedded in complex matrices. This study evaluated its applicability by mixing plastic fragments (PET, PEHD, PS, and PP) with humus‐rich and sandy soils

Dielectric Loss Suppression of Polyethylene Cable Insulation by Motion Restriction of Ultralow‐Content Grafted Maleic Anhydride

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Maleic anhydride (MAH) grafting modification is an effective approach to enhance the insulating performance of polyethylene (PE) cable insulations. However, the high polarity of MAH often causes considerable dielectric loss, making it unsuitable for AC systems.

Effect of Aggregation Structure on DC Electrical Performance of Thermo‐Oxidatively Aged Crosslinked Polyethylene Insulation

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Thermal ageing is an important factor leading to the deterioration of crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) cable insulation. In this paper, XLPE insulating material was prepared in the laboratory and treated by thermal ageing at 130°C for durations of up to 40 days.

What's in the Bin? A Waste Audit of an Australian Tertiary Ear, Nose and Throat Outpatient Clinic

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Healthcare contributes 4.4% of global emissions. Climate change contributes to vector‐borne diseases, food insecurity and morbidity and mortality associated with extreme weather. Ear, nose and throat (ENT) outpatient clinics are particularly resource intensive, yet their environmental impact has not been quantified.

Flexo‐printable glucomannan‐based biofilm

Coloration Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract Biofilms were synthesised from glucomannan and xylan. The ratio of glucomannan: xylan varied from 90:10 (g/g) to 70:30 (g/g). Nanofibrillated cellulose was added to enhance the mechanical properties of the biofilms. In another approach, glucomannan/xylan suspensions were crosslinked with tartaric acid (TA) or citric acid (CA).

Fused Deposition Modeling of Industrial Waste LDPE‐Polystyrene Blends: Comparing Low and Medium Melt Flow Index of LDPE Waste

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 10, March 10, 2026.
Schematic overview of the upcycling of industrial LDPE waste via fused deposition modeling (FDM). ABSTRACT This study explores the potential of additive manufacturing (AM) to upcycle industrial waste low‐density polyethylene (LDPE) by investigating the effect of LDPE waste's melt flow index (MFI) on the printability of LDPE/polystyrene (PS) blends via ...

AC Breakdown Characteristics of LDPE in the Presence of Crosslinking By-products.

, 2011
LDPE films of 50?m thick were soaked into crosslinking byproducts which are acetophenone, ?-methylstyrene and cumyl alcohol. The samples were used to perform the breakdown strength (Eb) of the LDPE with the byproducts chemical reside in the sample.
