Impact of Waste‐Derived Slate Dust on Structural, Thermal, and Thermomechanical Behavior of Recycled Poly(Ethylene Terephthalate)

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
This study investigates the use of waste slate dust as a filler in recycled PET. Incorporating up to 20 wt% slate dust caused no filler‐induced molecular degradation, increased the crystallization temperature, thermal conductivity, and storage modulus. ABSTRACT Recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) is widely considered a sustainable alternative to

Utilization of recycled rubber crumbs and tile powder as additives to enhance clayey soil performance

Discover Materials
Abstract Clayey soils present challenges in engineering applications due to their inherent properties, such as low shear strength, which usually limits their use in engineering applications. Stabilization of clayey soils is crucial to enhance their performance and suitability for various purposes. Utilizing waste materials like discarded tyres and tile

Opportunities for Australia Amid China's Carbon‐Neutral Transition: Input–Output Approach With Analysis of Australian Renewable Potential

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A major transformation in China's energy mix is underway as the country pursues carbon neutrality by 2060, posing significant structural challenges for Australia as a major exporter of carbon‐intensive resources. This study examines the economic impacts of China's decarbonisation on Australia by applying static and dynamic input–output (IO ...

What Was ‘Middle Australia’? Social Categorisation and Political Positioning in the Late‐20th Century

Australian Journal of Politics &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT ‘Middle Australia’ became a ubiquitous term of social categorisation and political positioning during the latter decades of the 20th century. This article examines how this concept was variously used in the metropolitan print media in the guises of the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age of Melbourne, including in their reporting of federal and ...

Tracing Flow Pathways of Nutrients in Dairy Farms—An End Member Mixing Analysis Approach

Hydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 6, June 2026.
Farm drain water at both farms was consistently a mixture of event water (rainwater and irrigation water) and soil water, which represent surface runoff and shallow subsurface soil flow, respectively. The dominance of end members varied between farms and events and was controlled by surface roughness, microtopography, and antecedent soil moisture ...

Watershed land cover predicts the abundance of macroplastic and other anthropogenic litter in streams

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2026.
Macroplastic and other types of macroscopic anthropogenic litter (AL; trash, particles > 5 mm) are pervasive across ecosystems, persistent in the environment, increasing in abundance, and can degrade into microplastics (particles < 5 mm). Rivers retain and transform AL prior to export downstream, but improved predictions of AL distribution and movement
