Development of Biodegradable Talc‐Filled PBAT/PLA and PBSA/PBAT Binary Blend Films: Effects of Multilayer Architecture and Uniaxial Orientation on Performance

Polymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
PBAT‐based PLA and PBSA blend films were developed in single‐ and tri‐layer structures with talc and processed via blown film extrusion followed by uniaxial stretching. Multilayer design and MDO significantly enhanced mechanical strength, stiffness, barrier, and UV resistance through chain orientation and strain‐induced crystallization.

Roll‐to‐Roll Processing of Biodegradable Multilayer Barrier Packaging Structures

Packaging Technology and Science, EarlyView.
This work demonstrates that novel packaging materials built using biobased and biodegradable materials can be produced in pilot‐scale and converted into functional barrier packaging. The proposed structures are anticipated to make a strong impact in use‐cases where the risk of environmental littering is elevated, such as snacks and take away meals ...

Biomimetic robots driven by smart materials: Motion forms, stimulation methods and applications

Responsive Materials, EarlyView.
Biomimetic robots enhance adaptability by mimicking biological systems, but rigid materials limit performance. Smart materials with stimuli responsiveness and shape adaptability enable more flexible actuation and improved environmental interaction.

Multi‐Platform Deployments of Low‐Cost Devices for Cetacean Passive Acoustic Monitoring

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Recent advances in affordable, user‐friendly devices offer new opportunities to overcome cost constraints of underwater passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) and expand acoustic data collection. In this study, we deployed low‐cost acoustic recorders and underwater cameras across a range of platforms in the Western Mediterranean, including fishing gear ...

A Systematic Review of Participatory Science Approaches in K–12 Ecological Monitoring

Science Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Participatory science has emerged as a vital educational approach for engaging K–12 learners in authentic scientific inquiry while generating data for ecological monitoring. This systematic review synthesizes 72 empirical studies published between 2006 and 2025 that involved K–12 students in ecological monitoring projects.

Early signs of plastic degradation and fragmentation: A 40-day study in marine environments

Conventional plastics are widely present in the ocean as marine plastic debris. This in-situ study investigates the degradability and fragmentation of seven common conventional plastics (PET, PVC, PS, EPS, PP, HDPE, and LDPE) in natural marine ...
