Compatibilization of PLA/PBAT blends by using Epoxy‐POSS

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, 2018
ABSTRACTPoly(lactic acid) (PLA)/poly(butylene adipate‐co‐terephthalate) (PBAT) blends were compatibilized using epoxidized polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (Epoxy‐POSS). Three different Epoxy‐POSS types were utilized having mono‐, tri‐, and multi‐epoxides per POSS cage.

Advances in Floating Solar Desalination Systems

Water and Environment Journal, EarlyView.
This review critically classifies floating solar desalination systems into five main categories and compares their thermal performance, productivity and technological limitations. Membrane‐based and multieffect systems showed the highest efficiencies, while traditional designs remain limited by heat losses and scaling.
