Low-Temperature Dyeing of Chemically Modified PET/Spandex Blends: A Sustainable Approach for Enhanced Dyeability and Color Fastness

Molecules
Blends of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) with spandex are widely used in sportswear and outdoor apparel. However, dyeing PET/spandex fabrics remains challenging due to the high energy required at elevated dyeing temperatures and persistent problems ...

Conspecific cueing or cooperative feeding?—Foraging stable flies are visually attracted to conspecific flies

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
In two‐choice laboratory bioassays, food‐deprived and CO2‐stimulated stable flies were offered paired landing platforms that were baited or not (control) with conspecific flies. The presence of conspecifics prompted the attraction and landing of foraging stable flies.

Normal-hexane treatment on PET-based waste fiber depolymerization process

e-Polymers
The global increase in polyethylene terephthalate (PET)-based waste fiber poses a persistent environmental risk. While efforts have been made to repurpose waste fibers into bags, clothing, and building materials, the depolymerization process to extract ...

A Dual Cell‐Line Molecular Platform to Assess Sub‐Threshold Biocompatibility: Application to Processed Orthodontic Clears Aligners

Orthodontics &Craniofacial Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Traditional biocompatibility assessments primarily address cytotoxicity and bulk material properties but often overlook molecular responses that occur below toxicity thresholds. Detecting these subtle effects is crucial for materials intended for prolonged contact with human tissues.

Catalytic oxidation upcycling of polyethylene terephthalate to commodity carboxylic acids

Nature Communications
Catalytic upcycling of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) into high-value oxygenated products is a fascinating process, yet it remains challenging. Here, we present a one-step tandem strategy to realize the thermal catalytic oxidation upcycling of PET to ...

Dental Arch Expansion With In‐House Clear Aligners: An Exploratory Prospective Clinical Study on Torque, Vertical Control and Attachment Configuration

Orthodontics &Craniofacial Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the short‐term efficacy of transverse dental arch expansion with in‐house aligners (IHA) by comparing planned and achieved buccolingual movements, and secondarily to explore torque expression, vertical control and the influence of attachment design/position using a contralateral within‐subject approach.

Examining the use and weight transfer of four custom‐made partial hindlimb exoprostheses for a dog

Veterinary Record Open, Volume 13, Issue 2, December 2026.
Abstract Background Limb exoprosthetics in veterinary medicine are less developed than in human medicine. This case study evaluates four custom‐made hindlimb exoprostheses for a 6‐year‐old dog following metatarsal amputation due to a train accident.

Circularity in 3D Printing with Poly(Ethylene Terephthalate Glycol): Copolymer Composition Dependent Degradation During Recycling

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering
Reduced environmental impact is commonly cited as a driver for additive manufacturing, but non‐circular end‐of‐life disposition of the printed materials reduces these advantages.
