Automatization of multistep sample preparation for microplastics monitoring in aquatic environments
Abstract Microplastics (MP) have been found in every environmental compartment in urban and remote areas. Although their ubiquity is widely recognized, the lack of harmonized protocols for sampling, sample preparation, and particle identification/quantification hinders comparability among studies.

Experimental Study on Polymer–Polymer Interfacial Thermal Resistance
Interfacial thermal resistance (ITR) in polymer–polymer interfaces is experimentally measured in this paper by the multi‐layered bulk sample approach. Based on numerical simulation and experimental verification, new techniques of layer‐overlapping samples are developed.

This review systematically compares the size‐dependent toxicity of microplastics and nanoplastics in the intestine, liver, kidney, lung, and brain. Particle size determines bioavailability, barrier penetration, and injury mechanisms. Because of their small size and high surface reactivity, NPs readily cross the intestinal epithelium and blood–brain ...

Helical wrapping of polyamide around E‐glass fibres deflects and bridges impact‐driven cracks, arresting damage that would otherwise propagate catastrophically in conventional side‐by‐side hybrid yarns. ABSTRACT Hybrid cowrapped (CW) yarns were engineered to enhance the impact resistance and damage tolerance of fiber‐reinforced composites.

Experimental and numerical assessment of GFRPP under lower experimental hydrogen pressures using tensile testing, SEM analysis, and hydrogen uptake estimation. ABSTRACT Glass fiber‐reinforced polypropylene (GFRPP) composites are increasingly explored for hydrogen transport and storage due to their lightweight nature and corrosion resistance.
