Composites of Shellac and Silver Nanowires as Flexible, Biobased, and Corrosion‐Resistant Transparent Conductive Electrodes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Shellac, a centuries‐old natural resin, is reimagined as a green material for flexible electronics. When combined with silver nanowires, shellac films deliver transparency, conductivity, and stability against humidity. These results position shellac as a sustainable alternative to synthetic polymers for transparent conductors in next‐generation ...

Influence of Solvent Lipid Extraction on Tissue‐Specific Carbon Isotopes

Ecology and Evolution
Cetacean blubber and skin have a high lipid content, which is depleted in 13C and 15N compared to proteins. As such, it is necessary to normalise samples for lipids prior to bulk stable isotope analysis.
