Water‐Holding Capacity Regulation of Dietary Fibers in Soybean Residue: From Modification Strategies, to Function Improvement and Food Texture Optimization

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 2, March 2026.
Soybean residue exhibits poor water holding capacity (WHC) due to high insoluble dietary fiber (>95%). Modification strategies (physical, biological, and chemical) enhance WHC by altering fiber structure/function, enabling optimized food texture and functional food development in meat, bakery, dairy, and other food systems.

Modic Change Bone Marrow Neutrophils Are Activated and Degrade Cartilage Endplates

JOR SPINE, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
Activated neutrophils accumulate in Modic‐change bone marrow and secrete neutrophil elastase, which drives cartilage endplate destruction and releases glycosaminoglycans. This neutrophil–elastase axis links inflammatory marrow lesions to structural endplate breakdown at the disc–vertebra interface.

Recyclability of Polystyrene Bead Foams: Degradation Behavior over 10 Extrusion Cycles

Polymer Engineering &Science, Volume 66, Issue 3, Page 1711-1722, March 2026.
This study investigates the multi‐cycle recycling of expanded polystyrene bead foam blended with virgin material. Material degradation is monitored by MFI, GPC, and mechanical testing. The results demonstrate that long‐term recyclability is feasible without progressive property loss, and that secondary high‐shear steps such as extrusion and pelletizing

Pre-plasticization of thermal binder facilitates processing and granule growth during melt granulation of gabapentin using co-rotating twin screw extruder

Drug Development and Industrial Pharmacy, 2020
Plasticization, a common method of reducing the polymer melt viscosity in plastics extrusion, was investigated to improve the processability of a pharmaceutical formulation during twin-screw melt granulation. The thermolabile drug gabapentin was used as a model compound given previous work showed the benefit of preparing 80% drug loading gabapentin ...

Comparison of Mechanical Properties of Lignin/High‐Density Polyethylene (HDPE) Composites and Wood/HDPE Composites

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 5, February 5, 2026.
Manufacturing process and mechanical testing of lignin polymer composites. ABSTRACT Lignin is a plant‐derived, the second most abundant natural polymer, and a waste byproduct of the pulp industry. Incorporation of lignin into plastic composites using scalable approaches is commercially favored and low carbon‐cost.

Enhancing printability of 3D printed concrete by using metakaolin and silica fume

Structural Concrete, Volume 27, Issue 1, Page 1068-1084, February 2026.
Abstract This study investigates the effects of incorporating metakaolin (MK) and silica fume (SF) on the fresh and hardened properties of 3D printed concrete (3DPC). Five mix designs were prepared with MK replacement levels of 0%, 10%, 12.5%, and 15%, along with one mix containing 10% MK and 5% SF.

Study on the Effects and Mechanisms of Different RPE/RPP Ratios on the Properties of Modified Asphalt

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 4, January 20, 2026.
Effects and Mechanisms of Different RPE/RPP Ratios on the Properties of Modified Asphalt. ABSTRACT Recycled polyethylene (RPE) and recycled polypropylene (RPP) are the most abundant types of plastic waste. Developing novel base asphalt modifiers (additives used to enhance the properties of asphalt) by blending RPE and RPP in different ratios is of ...
