Designing PLA/PHBV Implants With Degradation Matched to Normal or Inflammatory Tissues
Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 36, September 20, 2026.PLA/PHBV blends are investigated under simulated normal and pathological conditions. Multivariate statistical analysis decouples the competing effects of water‐uptake‐driven hydrolysis and crystallinity‐imposed barriers. Melt‐state rheological parameters serve as structural probes linking phase morphology to degradation kinetics. A semi‐empirical model

Defects Induced Instability of Perovskite Solar Cells
Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research, Volume 7, Issue 9, September 2026.Defect passivation and grain‐size engineering in perovskite films are achieved through precursor additives, antisolvent additives, interfacial modification, light treatment, surface polishing, and temperature treatment. The synergistic effects suppress defect states and enhance film quality, providing insights into effective strategies for improving ...

Applied Element Modelling of Out‐Of‐Plane Instability in Boundary Elements of Thin RC Walls
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 11, Page 2800-2817, September 2026.ABSTRACT Recent earthquakes in Chile (2010) and New Zealand (2011) caused extensive damage to buildings featuring reinforced concrete (RC) structural walls, with observed failure modes including out‐of‐plane instability of slender walls. This buckling‐type response under combined in‐plane and out‐of‐plane loading has also been documented in ...

Performance of Glass Fiber Composites With Plastic‐Waste Pyrolysis Char as Filler
Polymer Composites, Volume 47, Issue 16, Page 14769-14787, 20 August 2026.Valorisation of mixed plastic waste into carbonaceous char via pyrolysis, its integration as a microfiller in epoxy/E‐glass (GFRP) laminates, and characterisation to assess composite performance as a function of filler loading. ABSTRACT Plastic pyrolysis offers circular solutions for mixed plastic waste but leaves a carbonaceous char that is often ...
