Properties of concrete containing recycled PET bottles as sand replacement [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The modern lifestyle along with the new technologies have contributed the increasing of waste materials production. Plastic is one of the waste materials which is non-disposal and non-biodegradable material that can remain on earth without degradation ...

Microfluidic electro‐viscoelastic manipulation of extracellular vesicles

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The electro‐viscoelastic manipulation as a potential method for separation of particles based on size. The particles introduced as a sheath flow migrate to the channel center under the influence of simultaneously applied electric field and pressure driven flow.

Tuning Wetting Properties Through Surface Geometry in the Cassie–Baxter State

open access: yesBiomimetics
Superhydrophobic coatings are beneficial for applications like self-cleaning, anti-corrosion, and drag reduction. In this study, we investigated the impact of surface geometry on the static, dynamic, and sliding contact angles in the Cassie–Baxter state.

Transcriptional regulation of neuropeptide receptors underlies context‐dependent adaptation in Drosophila melanogaster

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Under environmental changes, the expression level of neuropeptide (NP) and neuropeptide receptor (NPR) genes changes to confer context‐dependent adaptation to the model organism Drosophila melanogaster. Through finding more regulatory elements in the NPR genes in comparison with their ligands (NPs), we found that NPR‐biased transcriptional regulation ...

Degradation pathways and chemical stability of regenerated cellulose fiber-reinforced bio-polyamide 5.10 composites under acidic and alkaline conditions

open access: yesScientific Reports
Bio-based polyamides (PA) represent an emerging class of engineering biopolymers that combine high performance with renewable origins. In particular, PA5.10, derived from renewable monomers, offers an attractive alternative to petroleum-based matrices in

National Action Plans: Effectiveness and requirements for the Global Plastics Treaty

open access: yesCambridge Prisms: Plastics
National Action Plans (NAPs) are a possible implementation measure for the Global Plastics Treaty, through a NAP-based approach. Their effectiveness in other international agreements is contested, and their current format allows for weak, voluntary ...

A Nanocellulose Polypyrrole Composite Based on Tunicate Cellulose

open access: yesInternational Journal of Polymer Science, 2013
The water-dispersed conductive polypyrrole (PPy) was prepared via the in situ oxidative chemical polymerization by using ammonium persulfate (APS) as oxidant and tunicate cellulose nanocrystals (T-CNs) as a dopant and template for tuning the morphologies
