Experimental and design‐oriented research on fiber reinforced concrete segmental tunnel linings: A systematic review

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The use of fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) in precast tunnel segments is among the most established and representative applications of this material. Over the past two decades, numerous tunnel linings were constructed with partial or total substitution of conventional steel reinforcement by fibers, this yielding to quantifiable benefits in ...

Polypropylene Nanoplastic Exposure to Respiratory Epithelial Barrier‐On‐Chip and Interfacial Interactions With Human Serum Albumin

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
Exposure to 305 nm PP NPs significantly disrupts the airway barrier‐on‐chip, reducing TEER, suppressing ZO‐1/ACE2 expression, and triggering ROS‐mediated apoptosis. In biological media, PP NPs exhibit a biphasic adsorption pattern, leading to the formation of a protein corona that increases their size to 364 nm.

Upcycling microfiber waste from wastewater into acoustic panels: a sustainable solution for sound absorption

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters
Microfibers (MFs) are released into the environment during the entire life of textile materials, from manufacturing to disposal. It is evident that micro-sized wastes are just as significant as macro-sized ones, and this issue should be prioritized.

Mechanistic Insights and Performance Advancements in Flow Capacitive Deionisation for Sustainable Energy Conversion

open access: yesElectrochemical Science Advances, Volume 6, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Flow capacitive deionisation is an advanced electrochemical technology for water purification and energy‐related applications. It represents a viable alternative to conventional desalination methods due to its low operating voltage, continuous electrode regeneration, and stable performance under moderate‐to‐high salinity conditions. The use of

Impact of Leaflet Thickness on Polymeric Valve Scaffold Function and Remodeling: Assessment in a 1‐ and 3‐Month Ovine Stented Pulmonary Valve Replacement Model

open access: yesJournal of Biomedical Materials Research Part A, Volume 114, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Approaches to the structural design of tissue engineered heart valves (TEHVs) have varied broadly, ranging from material choice to microstructural and macro‐scale functional characteristics. Not only will each variable on this extensive list impact functional and restorative potential after implantation, but most of these variables also have ...

Study of the Biodegradation Properties of Amorphous Blends of Poly(Lactic Acid) and Poly(3‐Hydroxybutyrate‐co‐4‐Hydroxybutyrate) Foamed With Supercritical CO2

open access: yesMacromolecular Materials and Engineering, Volume 311, Issue 8, August 2026.
Supercritical CO2 foaming of fully amorphous PLA/PHA blends produced low‐density closed‐cell foams with fine cellular morphology. Blending with PHA enhanced biodegradation under simulated home‐composting conditions, achieving up to 84% mass loss after 4 months, whereas marine degradation remained limited and was mainly restricted to the PHA component ...
