An assessment of environmental impacts of cassava starch extraction technologies [PDF]
, 2011 The environmental impacts of the transformation of cassava roots into starch were assessed for three contrasting technologies at small and large scale (1-2 and 100-200t starch per day), using the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology. The objective was

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 35, Issue 12, March 18, 2025.Protonic ceramic fuel cells offer a promising route to generate power efficiently but face critical challenges in achieving industrially viable activity and stability at their cathodes in CO2‐containing air. This report proposes a new cathode material design strategy to enable the cathode to be both catalytically active and CO2 tolerant through the ...

Structurally Colored Physically Unclonable Functions with Ultra‐Rich and Stable Encoding Capacity
Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 35, Issue 12, March 18, 2025.This study reports a design strategy for generating bright‐field resolvable physically unclonable functions with extremely rich encoding capacity coupled with outstanding thermal and chemical stability. The optical response emerges from thickness‐dependent structural color formation in ZnO features, which are fabricated by physical vapor deposition ...

Intraoral Drug Delivery: Bridging the Gap Between Academic Research and Industrial Innovations
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Intraoral drug delivery offers a promising route for systemic and localized therapies, yet challenges such as enzymatic degradation, limited permeability, and microbial interactions hinder efficacy. This figure highlights innovative strategies—mucoadhesive materials, enzyme inhibitors, and permeation enhancers—to overcome these barriers.

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2022 Not all starches in the human diet are created equal: "resistant starches" are consolidated aggregates of the α-glucan polysaccharides amylose and amylopectin, which escape digestion by salivary and pancreatic amylases. Upon reaching the large intestine, resistant starches become fodder for members of the human gut microbiota, impacting the metabolism ...
