The Effects of Microplastics and Additives on Ecosystem Function, Structure, and Signaling
Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.Microplastics disrupt ecosystem signaling through olfactory traps, altering predator–prey signaling and disrupting microbial communication and quorum sensing. ABSTRACT Microplastics (MPs) and their associated chemical additives are pervasive contaminants whose ecological impacts extend beyond organismal toxicity to fundamentally alter ecosystem ...

Thermochimica Acta, 2015 Abstract The effect of blending and the addition of small amounts of TiO2 nanoparticles on the dynamic mechanical properties of PLA/PHBV, PLA/PCL and PHBV/PCL blends is reported in this paper. The storage modulus of the PLA/PHBV blends was higher than those of both PLA and PHBV in the temperature region below the glass transition of PHBV, but the PLA/

ChemSusChem, Volume 19, Issue 13, 14 July 2026.Microwave‐conditioned olive pomace was fractionated with deep eutectic solvents (DESs) spanning acidic, neutral, alkaline, and chemo‐enzymatic regimes. The alkaline DES provided the best balance between delignification and carbohydrate preservation, yielding a fermentable glucose/xylose stream suitable for Haloferax mediterranei fermentation and poly(3‐

Polymer‐Based Passive Radiative Cooling A Structural Design Perspective
EcoMat, Volume 8, Issue 7, July 2026.This work categorizes structure‐oriented design strategies for polymer‐based passive radiative cooling into fibrous, porous, photonic/meta, and hybrid composite architectures. Each structural motif is shown to regulate solar scattering, infrared emissivity, and heat transport through distinct geometry‐driven mechanisms, offering a systematic pathway to
