Enzymatic degradation of biopolymers in amorphous and molten states: mechanisms and applications
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.This review explains how polymer morphology and thermal state shape enzymatic degradation pathways, comparing amorphous and molten biopolymer structures. By integrating structure–reactivity principles with insights from thermodynamics and enzyme engineering, it highlights mechanisms that enable efficient polymer breakdown.

Moisture susceptibility of waste ceramic tiles modified asphalt mixtures
Research on Engineering Structures and Materials, 2023 Waste ceramic tiles have been recognized as viable in producing asphalt mixtures. However, the primary concern is the assurance of its durability, especially in terms of moisture damage. Therefore, this research aims to investigate the moisture susceptibility of asphalt mixtures incorporating waste ceramic tiles (WCT).
