Polymer 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.

Polymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.Thermal annealing of FDM‐printed PLA significantly enhances longitudinal tensile and flexural strengths by increasing crystallinity to 46.6%. However, transverse properties remain constrained by weak interlayer adhesion, providing crucial insights into the anisotropic thermo‐mechanical behavior of printed biopolymers for demanding engineering ...

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Tropical forests are rapidly declining. One promising strategy to reverse the loss of tropical forest is the establishment of agroforestry on open land. We combined interviews with biodiversity surveys to learn general lessons from success and nonsuccess stories of the establishment of open‐land‐derived coffee agroforests in one of the world's ...

Visacane, an innovative quarantine tool for the exchange of pest and disease-free sugarcane germplasm [PDF]
, 2011 Sugarcane varietal improvement can not exclusively rely upon exchange and introduction of genetic resources via true seeds (fuzz). It also requires the introduction of vegetative propagation material (cuttings, tissue-cultured plantlets).

Toxicity of aqueous extracts of Ilex paraguariensis A.St.‐Hil. about Euphorbia heterophylla L.
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Aqueous extracts of Ilex paraguariensis A.St.‐Hil. strongly inhibit Euphorbia heterophylla L. germination and early seedling growth, but show mild phytotoxicity on mature plants, paradoxically promoting biomass via antioxidants. Abstract BACKGROUND The escalating challenge of herbicide‐resistant weeds, exemplified by Euphorbia heterophylla L.
