Does Contract Farming Reduce Pesticide Use? Panel Data Evidence From Smallholder Farmers in China
Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The inappropriate and excessive use of pesticides poses a major threat to human and ecosystem health in the agri‐food sector. While existing studies have examined the potential of contract farming to address this issue, most have focused on large‐scale farms and relied on small or transactional datasets, often leaving the role of crop‐specific

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.The circular utilization of automotive recycled polypropylene (rPP) blended with virgin polymer and waste‐derived biocarbon to develop sustainable composite materials. The composites were processed via melt compounding and injection molding. The addition of sustainable biocarbon lowered the coefficient of linear thermal expansion and maleic anhydride ...

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.The use of kraft lignin and kraft lignin nanoparticles in poly(vinyl alcohol)/chitosan hydrogels was comprehensively compared. The results showed that a higher loading of lignin nanoparticles than bulk kraft lignin could be incorporated while maintaining favorable hydrogel properties, leading to improved overall performance. ABSTRACT The development of

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Lignocellulosic residues are non‐cost, non‐edible, renewable feedstocks that can be used in polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) production. PHB is a bioplastic synthetized by microorganisms, formed intracellularly under stressful growth conditions; however, its production costs are high, representing the major drawback for fossil‐based plastics ...

Comparative Study for the Energy Valorisation of Rice Straw
Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2014 The termal behaviour of rice straw when submitted to combustion and pyrolisis reactions was studied for the present work. Thermogravimetric analysis simulated these reactions and an accurate methodology evaluated its suitability and design parameters for its use in energy valorisation processes.

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.Abstract Mixed‐culture fermentation generally produces volatile fatty acids (VFAs) as a mixture of C2–C6 acids. Among operational parameters, temperature has a distinct effect on the microorganisms' metabolic activity, which can shift the composition of the metabolites.
