Linking Process‐Induced Degradation to Mechanical Property Deterioration in Flax Fiber–Reinforced Bio‐Polymer Matrix Composites

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Effect of processing‐induced thermal degradation on the mechanical performance of thermoplastic flax fiber composites. ABSTRACT The drawback of biobased polymer matrix composites (PMCs) is their limited temperature stability, resulting from degradation, which restricts their processability in established composite manufacturing processes requiring ...

Optimizing Processing and Formulation Strategies for Enhanced Thermal and Chemical Stability of Meltblown Polyphenylene Sulfide Nonwovens

Polymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
PPS/PEI alloy fibers fabricated via meltblowing exhibit enhanced thermal stability with less than 10% shrinkage at 180°C, superior chemical resistance, and a high LOI of 34. ABSTRACT Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) meltblown nonwovens are attractive for high‐performance filtration and protective applications owing to their intrinsic chemical resistance ...

Seasonal variations of microplastics and plastisphere bacterial communities along Wuhan Reaches of Yangtze River

River, EarlyView.
Abstract Microplastics are widely distributed in aquatic environment and serve as habitats for microbial communities, which pause threats to the ecosystem. In this study, the seasonal variations in microplastic abundance and biogeography of their associated plastisphere were studied from 14 sites along the Wuhan Reaches of Yangtze River across spring ...
