Catchment conversion to agriculture alters freshwater macroinvertebrate community responses to flow disturbance: results from a replicated in‐stream experiment

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Anthropogenic stressors often co‐occur in ecosystems, but their combined impacts are rarely assessed using field experiments. Press disturbances particularly can reshape community dynamics, altering their capacity to withstand or recover from acute pulse disturbances by modifying response diversity.

Masterbatch‐Assisted Fabrication of Polylactic Acid/Reduced Graphene Oxide Nanocomposites Exhibiting Mechanical Enhancement and UV‐C Aging Resistance

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
Masterbatch‐Assisted Fabrication of Polylactic Acid/Reduced Graphene Oxide Nanocomposites. ABSTRACT Polylactic acid (PLA) is a promising bio‐based polymer; nonetheless, its extensive application is still limited by poor fracture toughness, low thermal stability, and strong susceptibility to degradation induced by ultraviolet (UV) radiation.

Poly(Hydroxybutyrate‐Co‐Hydroxyvalerate)/Thermoplastic Starch Blends for Application in Biodegradable Mulch Films

open access: yesPolymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
Poly(hydroxybutyrate‐co‐hydroxyvalerate)/thermoplastic starch blends, produced by melt processing, showed improvements in mechanical properties and water vapor transmission barrier performance, which can help control excessive water evaporation from the soil, thus contributing to pH and moisture regulation.
