Sustainable two‐step functionalization of carbon fibers (CFs) with polyethyleneimine and investigation of curing kinetics in composite materials

open access: yesPolymer Composites, Volume 46, Issue 13, Page 11965-11983, 10 September 2025.
We followed the functionalization steps outlined in the figure to obtain carbon fibers (CFs) functionalized with branched polyethyleneimine (b‐PEI). The entire process was carried out under mild conditions, including plasma activation and low‐temperature heating, using an eco‐friendly solvent (water).

Multi‐decadal changes in vegetation and land use inferred from different data sources: Two case studies at the regional scale in the Slovenian karst

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, Volume 35, Issue 15, Page 4696-4710, September 2024.
Abstract Few studies have used aerial imagery or various statistical records to analyse temporal land use and vegetation dynamics over large areas. This study presents an innovative approach that merges national‐scale data to provide temporal and spatial digital information on land use and vegetation cover change at high resolution.
