Impact of Processing Parameters on the Morphology and Performance of PE/PA6/EVOH Blends

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Precise processing conditions enable the utilization of all components in multilayer films, resulting in improved morphology and mechanical properties. ABSTRACT This study employs a stepwise approach to investigate the influence of processing conditions and blend composition on the morphology and mechanical properties of immiscible polymer blends.

Latent TGF-β binding protein-2 is essential for the development of ciliary zonule microfibrils.

Human Molecular Genetics, 2014
Latent TGF-β-binding protein-2 (LTBP-2) is an extracellular matrix protein associated with microfibrils. Homozygous mutations in LTBP2 have been found in humans with genetic eye diseases such as congenital glaucoma and microspherophakia, indicating a ...

Bioinspired Ultrastrong and Ion‐Selective Gel Electrolytes by Interfacial Coacervation for High‐Performance Lithium‐Metal Batteries

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
An ultrastrong, hierarchically nanoporous gel polymer electrolyte (GPE) was fabricated via poly(ionic liquid)‐induced interfacial coacervation of cellulose nanofibrils. Its cascade ion‐conduction network enables dual‐mode Li⁺ transport via nanoconfinement and interstitial hopping. The GPE enables stable cycling of high mass loading battery (LiFePO₄, 16

Integrated and closed‐loop biorefinery strategies for efficient waste valorization and biofuel production

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Advancements in biofuel production technologies are essential for reducing global dependence on fossil fuels and addressing their overexploitation. Many valuable components of biomass, such as cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, remain underused in traditional biorefineries, which typically rely on a single feedstock to produce a primary ...
