Carbon‐based materials from renewable sources: Challenges and perspectives with a focus on green coconut

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 477-493, March 2026.
Abstract This article presents a comprehensive examination of agricultural production, biomass generation, and its transformation into biochar, with a particular emphasis on green coconut waste as a primary resource. It underscores the link between agriculture and substantial biomass output, shedding light on the ecological issues associated with solid

Biodegradation Behavior of Neat PLA Fibers Under Controlled Industrial Composting Conditions: Fiber Characterization and Physical Changes During the Composting Process

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 8, February 20, 2026.
Poly(lactic) acid (PLA) biodegradability in fiber form is relatively unexplored. This study shows that the drawing of the fibers during production affects the mechanical properties but slows down the biodegradation of the PLA. Biodegraded undrawn fibers showed peeling whereas drawn fibers showed crack formation on the surface.

Flow-enhanced nucleation of poly(1-butene) : model application to short-term and continuous shear and extensional flow [PDF]

, 2013
A modeling framework for flow-enhanced nucleation of polymers is applied to a broad set of data from literature. Creation of flow-induced pointlike nuclei is coupled to chain stretch of the high-molecular weight tail of the material, calculated with a ...

Geometric Optimization and Mechanical Performance Enhancement of Auxetic Structures for High‐Impact Applications Through Fused Deposition Modeling

Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 3, 4 February 2026.
This study explores the mechanical performance of three auxetic structures, identifying a re‐entrant‐star hybrid as the most effective for impact absorption. Finite element simulations and experiments demonstrate significant gains in energy absorption and flexural strength after geometric optimization. This study investigates the mechanical performance

A biodegradable polylactic acid–polybutylene adipate terephthalate–starch polymer blend for geotextile applications

Polymer International, Volume 75, Issue 2, Page 111-120, February 2026.
Biodegradable polymer blends are environmentally friendly materials with the ability to tailor material properties according to requirements. Abstract Geotextiles are typically used to stabilize steep earthen structures to prevent landslides. Usually, such geotextiles are made from petrol‐based polymers (such as polypropylene), but the use of ...

Microplastic Pollution in Aquaculture: Challenges and Mitigation

Water and Environment Journal, Volume 40, Issue 1, Page 3-20, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Microplastics (MPs) have gained significant attention due to their potential environmental threat. This paper addresses MPs contamination in aquaculture, a critical concern for food safety and public health. The extensive use and disposal of plastic products in aquaculture, like netting materials, pose a significant threat to aquatic life ...
