A New Paradigm for Understanding the Rheology and Processability of Poly(p‐Phenylene Terephthalamide) Liquid‐Crystalline Solutions

open access: yesJournal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 34, September 10, 2026.
Kevlar is traditionally modeled as a rigid‐rod polymer, yet rheological behavior deviates from this assumption. The review introduces a novel “twist‐tie” entanglement theory for aramid polymer chains in the nematic liquid crystal state, providing a molecular explanation for deviations from rigid‐rod models. Understanding twist‐tie entanglement dynamics

Release of multicomponent pheromones from porous fibres

open access: yesThe Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, Volume 104, Issue 9, Page 4777-4786, September 2026.
Abstract Surface engineering empowers a polymer exclusion net to serve dual functions: physical exclusion and pheromonal release, allowing for pest control in agricultural crops. In previous work, a net woven from porous fibres releasing simple, single‐component alarm pheromones showed promising results in field tests.

ZnO Decorated Electrospun Polylactic Acid Membrane for Organic Dyes Removal From Wastewaters

open access: yesEcoMat, Volume 8, Issue 9, September 2026.
PLA electrospun membranes doped with ZnO can spontaneously remove organic dyes from wastewater. The high adsorption capacity obtained is strongly influenced by environmental conditions. ABSTRACT The present work reports the design of a novel nanocomposite adsorbent based on a bio‐based PLA electrospun membrane doped with ZnO (28 wt% confirmed by TGA ...

Weak‐Story Mitigation and Drift Redistribution in Moment‐Resisting Frames Using Stepping Rocking Walls

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 11, Page 2760-2780, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the seismic response of moment‐resisting frames retrofitted with a stepping rocking wall, with emphasis on weak‐story mitigation and residual drift reduction under both ordinary and pulse‐like ground motions. Nonlinear response‐history analyses are conducted on 9‐story and 20‐story SAC Los Angeles frames.

Unveiling the Functional Role of KIF21B in Microglia Inflammatory Response

open access: yesGlia, Volume 74, Issue 9, September 2026.
Microglia express KIF21B in both sexes. KIF21B binds to microglia cytoskeleton; inflammation alters such interaction promoting a phagocytic state in females. In male microglia KIF21B modulates migration. ABSTRACT Microglia are brain immune cells that maintain homeostasis and respond to injury, changing cell morphology to drive inflammation, migration ...

Overshooting of Hypoplastic Models With Intergranular Strain: Manifestation, Implications and Remedy

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 50, Issue 13, Page 5068-5091, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Intergranular strain extensions of hypoplasticity (IGS, ISA, GIS) are widely used to model small‐strain and cyclic soil behaviour. However, recent studies and our own simulations reveal that these models can exhibit stress overshooting not only under repeated small loading cycles but also during monotonic loading.

3D MR Fingerprinting for Quantitative Bladder Wall T1, T2, and M0 Mapping in Healthy Subjects at 1.5 T and 3 T

open access: yesNMR in Biomedicine, Volume 39, Issue 9, September 2026.
Current diagnostic tests for lower urinary tract symptoms lack the ability to assess tissue‐level alterations in the bladder wall. This study introduces an approach for simultaneous high‐resolution 3D T1, T2, and proton density mapping of the bladder wall using magnetic resonance fingerprinting combined with a self‐supervised deep learning ...

After the Hype: Resilience Seeking in Emerging Technology Ecosystems

open access: yesJournal of Product Innovation Management, Volume 43, Issue 5, Page 793-826, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Academic Summary Hype often helps emerging technology ecosystems gain early support for their innovative value propositions, but the initial excitement around the technology typically vanishes at some point. This decrease in excitement and support may lead some ecosystems to fail while others are resilient and recover.

Modal verbs in South Asian online Englishes: must, (have) got to, have to and need to

open access: yesWorld Englishes, Volume 45, Issue 3, Page 574-594, September 2026.
Abstract This research article presents an analysis of four (semi‐)modals of necessity/obligation (must, (have) got to, have to and need to) in four CMC registers (comments, tweets, web forums and websites) originating from four South Asian countries (Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka) along with the United Kingdom and United States.
