3D Polymeric Nanonetworks: From Self‐Assembly to Advanced Fabrication

open access: yesMacromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.
This review provides the first systematic cross‐method comparison of fabrication techniques for 3D polymeric nanonetworks. It evaluates five key strategies—block copolymer self‐assembly, hyper‐crosslinking, template‐assisted methods, 3D printing, and nanolithography—across critical metrics including resolution, throughput, scalability, and material ...

Nanoplastics in Depolymerization Products from Hydrolysis of Poly(Ethylene Terephthalate) in the Solid State

open access: yesMacromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Hydrolysis of PET in the solid generates nanoparticles, but thermal signatures of PET were only observed for hydrolysis at 150°C, while oligomers appeared to dominate the non‐monomeric products from hydrolysis at higher temperatures. ABSTRACT Circularity in plastic waste management through depolymerization to monomer is a promising route to address ...

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

open access: yesMarine 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 ...

Generating Tagged Micro‐ and Nanoparticles of Poly(ethylene furanoate) and Poly(ethylene terephthalate) as Reference Materials

open access: yesMacromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
We successfully developed poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) and poly(ethylene furanoate) (PEF) nanoparticles and microparticles, covalently tagged with Alexa Fluor 633 or Alexa Fluor 647, using both mechanical and solvent‐based approaches. The particles displaying hydrodynamic diameters between 200 and 700 nm, exhibited long‐term colloidal stability ...

Antibacterial Micro/Nanorobots: Innovations, Challenges, and Future Perspectives in Combatting Infection

open access: yesNano Select, EarlyView.
Antibacterial micro/nanorobots (MNRs) represent a breakthrough in antibacterial therapy, making precise delivery of drugs to the infection site. This review systematically summarizes the material composition, actuation, and applications of MNRs in combating biofilms and drug‐resistant infections while emphasizing the existing challenges of ...

Marine trophic architecture and hidden ecological connections in the Strait of Magellan: keystone species and ecosystem resilience

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Understanding the ecological implications of species coexistence is central to biodiversity studies and to identify environmental and anthropogenic drivers of ecosystem dynamics, where ecological network analysis offers valuable insights. This study examines the complexity, structure, and potential responses to disturbances of the Strait of Magellan's ...

Progress on the Application of Polymers of Intrinsic Microporosity for the Adsorption of Organic Contaminants

open access: yesChemistryOpen, EarlyView.
The pictorial illustration of the applications of polymers of intrinsic microporosity extraordinary porous organic polymers with high surface areas, pore radii, pore volumes, high permeability, high diffusivity, high selectivity, and high thermal stability, as suitable filters or purifiers for water contaminated with pharmaceutical and organic dyes ...

Azole antifungal contaminants disrupt mycorrhizal function and risk agricultural sustainability

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Global food production is increasingly threatened by soil degradation, climate change and the rising costs of synthetic fertilisers. Circular agriculture, which promotes resource reuse, is a promising solution, but using treated wastewater and biosolids in farming introduces risks from emerging contaminants like pharmaceutical residues.

An integrated social and natural sciences case study for the reuse of organic wastes as soil amendments

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Reusing organic waste materials, such as animal manure, as soil amendments reduces water and fertiliser demand, contributing to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. However, organic wastes may contain contaminants of emerging concern (CECs), posing potential ecosystem and human health risks. Despite the importance of this issue, there is a lack

Contaminants of emerging concern in agricultural soils: Current understanding, overlooked issues, and future priorities

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) in agriculture represent a growing global challenge for food safety and public health. In this review, we synthesized evidence on how substances such as pharmaceuticals, microplastics, and per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) enter soils, accumulate in crops, and affect ecological and human health. We found
