Material Characterization of Lignin‐Filled Polypropylene Composites

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Ground and spray‐dried lignin powders are compared as fillers for polypropylene composites. Differences in powder preparation methods are associated with differences in powder characteristics and composite behavior after melt compounding. Spray‐dried lignin produces smaller particles and fewer large agglomerates, while a 5 wt% lignin loading provides a

Microplastics in the menu of Mediterranean zooplankton: Insights from the feeding response of the calanoid copepod Centropages typicus

Marine Ecology, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Microplastic input into the ocean represents an increasing threat to marine biota and may endanger the functioning of marine ecosystems, especially in semi‐enclosed basins, such as the Mediterranean Sea. The size spectrum of microplastics overlaps with that of nano‐microplankton (2–200 μm), thus potentially misleading suspension‐feeding ...

Ultra‐Thick Carbon Microhoneycomb Cathode for High‐Capacity Lithium‐Oxygen Batteries

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
This work demonstrates ultra‐thick biochar‐derived carbon microhoneycomb cathodes for lithium‐oxygen batteries. The penetrated macrochannels serve as highly efficient pathways for Li+ and O2 and provide abundant accommodation space for the discharge product. The optimized cathode achieved a high areal capacity of 38.2 mAh cm–2, providing guidelines for

Supra and subgingival application of antiseptics or antibiotics during periodontal therapy

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Periodontal diseases (gingivitis and periodontitis) are characterized by inflammatory processes which arise as a result of disruption of the balance in the oral ecosystem. According to the current S3 level clinical practice guidelines, therapy of patients with periodontitis involves a stepwise approach that includes the control of the patient ...

The Effect of Water Management and Cell Compression in Bipolar Membrane CO2 Electrolysis to CO

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
In‐operando neutron imaging uncovers water management challenges in bipolar membrane CO2 electrolysis: Internal water generation floods the cathode, while compression dictates membrane and gas diffusion electrode integrity. Strategic adjustments are applied in this work: dry gas feed and mechanical support of the gas diffusion electrode enable stable ...
