Polydopamine‐Mediated Silver and Nickel Metallization of Phase Change Microcapsules for Multifunctional Flexible Epoxy Composites

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
An eco‐friendly, polydopamine‐assisted electroless metallization of phase change microcapsules enables thin silver or nickel coatings that preserve phase‐change functionality and while enhancing thermal diffusivity and thermomechanical performance in flexible epoxy composites.

Response to Selection for Unique Epicuticular Wax Profile on the Semi-glossy Foliage of Onion

Journal of the American Society for Horticultural Science
Epicuticular waxes on onion (Allium cepa) foliage offer protection against water loss, pathogens, and pests. Onion leaves with a light green color are referred to as “glossy” and have less total wax compared with that of darker blue-green (“waxy ...

Epicuticular Leaf Wax of Euphorbia helioscopia L. (Euphorbiaceae)

Zeitschrift für Naturforschung C, 1993
The epicuticular wax of Euphorbia helioscopia was fractionated into fatty acids, hydrocarbons, wax esters, aldehydes, methyl esters, triterpenol acetates, alcohols, sterols, and polar components. The composition of the fractions was determined by GC, GC-MS, HPLC.

On the stratigraphic integrity of leaf-wax biomarkers in loess paleosols [PDF]

, 2014
Paleoenvironmental and paleoclimate reconstructions based on molecular proxies, such as those derived from leaf-wax biomarkers, in loess-paleosol sequences represent a promising line of investigation in Quaternary research.

Unlocking fruit dimensions: Quantification of functional traits driving plant–frugivore interactions

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Fleshy fruits attract animals to ingest fruit, swallow the seeds, and release them in the landscape, thus facilitating seed dispersal and plant regeneration. Attraction of animal dispersers is achieved via attractants such as color or scent, and rewards like sugars, lipids, and micronutrients.

Mimicry and ultrastructural analogy between the semi-aquatic grasshopper Paulinia acuminata (Orthoptera: Pauliniidae) and its foodplant, the water-fern Salvinia auriculata (Filicatae: Salviniaceae)

, 1994
The semi-aquatic grasshopper Paulinia acuminata is mimetically protected by a striking similarity to its foodplant, the floating fern Salvinia auriculata.

Mandible composition and properties in two selected praying mantises (Insecta, Mantodea)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Insects process their food with their cuticle‐based mouthparts. These feeding structures reflect their diversity and can, in some cases, showcase adaptations in material composition, mechanical properties, and shape to suit their specific dietary preferences.

Sectioning and Electron Microscopy of Eucalypt Leaf Waxes [PDF]

Australian Journal of Biological Sciences, 1964
A method is described of preparing leaf sections for electron microscopy. which preserves the surface wax structures; it involves the evaporation of gold-palladium on to the waxy leaf surface before dehydration and embedding with the usual solvents.
