Toxicity Differences Between Microplastics and Nanoplastics in Organs: From Molecular Mechanisms to Potential Therapeutic Strategies

Med Research, EarlyView.
This review systematically compares the size‐dependent toxicity of microplastics and nanoplastics in the intestine, liver, kidney, lung, and brain. Particle size determines bioavailability, barrier penetration, and injury mechanisms. Because of their small size and high surface reactivity, NPs readily cross the intestinal epithelium and blood–brain ...

Impact of Waste‐Derived Slate Dust on Structural, Thermal, and Thermomechanical Behavior of Recycled Poly(Ethylene Terephthalate)

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
This study investigates the use of waste slate dust as a filler in recycled PET. Incorporating up to 20 wt% slate dust caused no filler‐induced molecular degradation, increased the crystallization temperature, thermal conductivity, and storage modulus. ABSTRACT Recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) is widely considered a sustainable alternative to

Influence of Hybrid Co‐wrapped Yarn Structure on the Energy Absorption and Crack Propagation Resistance of Fiber‐Reinforced Composites

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Helical wrapping of polyamide around E‐glass fibres deflects and bridges impact‐driven cracks, arresting damage that would otherwise propagate catastrophically in conventional side‐by‐side hybrid yarns. ABSTRACT Hybrid cowrapped (CW) yarns were engineered to enhance the impact resistance and damage tolerance of fiber‐reinforced composites.
