Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.Surface functionalization of polypropylene macrofibers to enhance fiber‐matrix interfacial bonding. ABSTRACT Concrete is the most used higher compressive strength‐building material, albeit brittle to tensile, and flexural loads. Polypropylene (PP) synthetic polymeric macrofibres are commonly employed as reinforcement material to prevent this situation ...

Mandible composition and properties in two selected praying mantises (Insecta, Mantodea)
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Insects process their food with their cuticle‐based mouthparts. These feeding structures reflect their diversity and can, in some cases, showcase adaptations in material composition, mechanical properties, and shape to suit their specific dietary preferences.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Domesticated European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) have long been chosen as laboratory model organisms. Despite this, there has been no definitive study of the vertebral musculature of wild rabbits. Relevant descriptions of well‐studied veterinary model mammals (such as dogs) are generally applicable, but not appropriate for a species ...
