Electrokinetic analysis reveals common conditioner ingredient interactions with human hair
Novel electrokinetic analysis reveals how cationic surfactant deposition on hair is influenced by chain length and counterion mobility. Longer‐chain surfactants show superior adsorption through enhanced van der Waals interactions, while chloride counterions enable stronger electrostatic interactions.

Bleached and unbleached nanocelluloses were produced from the exhausted grape pomace and applied as coatings on PLA substrates for sustainable food packaging. Unbleached nanocelluloses were more hydrophobic and amorphous than bleached ones. The resulting bio‐based bleached nanocellulose‐coated PLA films showed a 68% reduction in O2 permeability ...

Revisiting acidulation for tall oil and lignin manufacturing
Abstract Tall oil is a byproduct of the kraft pulping process when softwood is used as raw material. As the production of softwood‐based pulp is in high demand, the optimization of the tall oil production process needs to be revisited to ensure the highest quality and quantity of tall oil manufacturing. In this work, the process for tall oil production

Anion exchange membrane water electrolysis with a self‐supported Ni‐foam anode is used to dissect how catalyst–ionomer and membrane–catalyst layer interfaces govern performance under dilute alkaline conditions. Solvent‐controlled ionomer morphology and a Ni nanoparticle interlayer are shown to decrease cell resistance and OH‐ transport limitations ...
