Yield stress and elasticity influence on surface tension measurements
, 2015 We have performed surface tension measurements on carbopol gels of different concentrations and yield stresses. Our setup, based on the force exerted by a capillary bridge on two parallel plates, allows to measure an effective surface tension of the ...

Enhancing the Functional Properties of Polylactic Acid by Incorporation of Esterified Lignin
Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.Esterified lignin from agro‐industrial wastes enhances the hydrophobicity, UV‐shielding efficiency, and antioxidant capacity of polylactic acid composites. ABSTRACT Incorporating lignin as an additive is a promising strategy to overcome the limitations of PLA‐based composites.

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Mineral oil droplets spread anisotropically, penetrate banana leaf tissues, and diffuse into the palisade parenchyma, revealing a delayed, Fickian mechanism that supports improved phytosanitary spray strategies. Abstract BACKGROUND Efficient application of phytosanitary sprays is essential for sustainable control of foliar fungal diseases such as Black

Small, EarlyView.A one‐step bulk integration of the surfactant Tween 20 into PDMS enables intrinsic and water‐triggered hydrophilicity. Combined molecular simulations and experiments reveal a dual mechanism where bound and mobile Tween 20 molecules cooperatively induce self‐activating, stretch‐tolerant, and long‐term wettability, supporting self‐driven liquid transport,
