Impact of Waste‐Derived Slate Dust on Structural, Thermal, and Thermomechanical Behavior of Recycled Poly(Ethylene Terephthalate)

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
This study investigates the use of waste slate dust as a filler in recycled PET. Incorporating up to 20 wt% slate dust caused no filler‐induced molecular degradation, increased the crystallization temperature, thermal conductivity, and storage modulus. ABSTRACT Recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) is widely considered a sustainable alternative to

Structural Performance of Hybrid Fiber–Metal Laminates Reinforced With Natural and Synthetic Fibers: Tensile, Dynamic–Mechanical, and Residual Stress Behavior

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Hybrid fiber‐metal laminates combining aluminum with carbon, glass, and sisal/epoxy layers. Sisal fibers maintained strength, improved strain and thermal stability, and reduced residual stresses with less synthetic fiber. ABSTRACT This work studied how hybridization between natural and synthetic fibers influences the structural tensile performance ...

Growth of pineapple plantlets during acclimatisation can be monitored through automated image analysis of the canopy

The EuroBiotech Journal, 2020
Pineapple is an economically important tropical fruit crop, but the lack of adequate planting material limits its productivity. A range of micropropagation protocols has been developed over the years to address this shortfall.

Nutritional properties, traditional uses and potential new applications for the sotol plant (Asparagaceae, Convallarioideae): A review

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Sotol (Dasylirion spp.) is a resilient desert plant that sustains ecosystems, cultures and livelihoods in Chihuahua Desert. Our review highlights its nutritional properties, traditional uses and potential new applications in food, pharmaceuticals, renewable energy and water remediation. By synthesizing evidence across disciplines, we show how sotol can
