Characteristics and Material Flows of Diary Packaging in Municipal Solid Waste: A Case Study of Plastic Yoghurt Cups in Vienna

Global Challenges, Volume 10, Issue 8, August 2026.
Consumer dismantling behavior of yoghurt cups has been quantified in Vienna. Three‐component cups (with carton wrap) are increasingly present on the market but are rarely correctly dismantled and disposed of correctly, leading to mis‐sorting and loss of recyclable material.

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

Journal 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 ...
