Diffusion Characteristics of Heterogeneous Polyvinylchloride (PVC) Blends with Chlorinated Polyethylene (CPE) for Manufacture of Effective Coating/Barrier Materials

Binary PVC/CPE blends for coating or replacing of traditional corrosion-sensitive materials have been investigated. PVC/CPE blends were obtained in a rather wide composition range.

Evaluation of Varnishes to Slow Down the Aging of Plasticized PVC

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Varnish effectiveness in plasticized PVC strongly depends on both formulation and degradation state. A polyurethane varnish effectively limits color change and plasticizer loss in unaged PVC without phosphate plasticizers, whereas no protective effect is observed for phosphate‐containing PVC.

Anodal Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Improves Social Behavior Alongside Neuroplastic Changes in a Tsc2+/− Rat Model of Autism Spectrum Disorder

Autism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by altered synaptic connectivity and network organization, resulting in profound impairments in social communication and interaction. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) represents a promising approach to modulate maladaptive plasticity associated with ASD;

Measuring what matters: Evaluating the impact of curriculum decolonisation initiatives in UK business schools

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Curriculum decolonisation has become a prominent feature of equity agendas in UK higher education, yet there remains limited empirical and theoretical work on how such initiatives are evaluated, particularly within business schools. This paper presents one of the first multi‐institutional empirical studies examining how UK business schools ...

Gravity and light - Gravitational lenses and black holes (PVC-R Visiting Professor Lecture Series)

, 2008
We explore how light behaves near massive objects, and show that for gravitational lenses, gravitational redshifts and black holes, the main concepts can be understood in general terms from Einstein's oft-quoted equation, E=mc^2.

Transitions in practice: climate change and everyday life (PVC-R Visiting Professor Lecture Series)

, 2009
In this talk I take seriously the proposition that patterns of consumption are usefully understood as outcomes of social practice, and that environmental sustainability depends upon transitions in what people take to be normal and ordinary ways of life ...

Compliant hydrogel cuff coating with real‐time pressure monitoring and antibiofilm capabilities for ventilator‐associated pneumonia prophylaxis

BMEMat, EarlyView.
A soft‐compliant hydrogel cuff coating combines real‐time pressure monitoring with intrinsic antibacterial activity for prophylaxis of ventilator‐associated pneumonia. A flexible pressure‐sensing patch is embedded in the coating to enable wireless dynamic monitoring of endotracheal cuff pressure through Bluetooth.

Micro‐ and nanoplastics in gastrointestinal disorders: Mapping the translational gap between exposure, biomonitoring, and pathogenic mechanisms

BMEMat, EarlyView.
This review highlights critical “translational gaps” in understanding micro‐ and nanoplastics impacts on gastrointestinal diseases, bridging exposure, detecting, and mechanistic toxicology. Abstract Micro‐ and nanoplastics (MNPs) have become pervasive environmental contaminants with increasing evidence linking them to adverse health outcomes.
