Ferulic acid‐impregnated sodium alginate–pectin biopolymer film for active packaging and shelf‐life extension of potato chips

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 11, Page 6428-6441, 30 August 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND This study explores the development of active films incorporating ferulic acid (FA), a natural antioxidant, at concentrations of 0 (F1), 2.5 (F2), and 5 g L−1 (F3) into sodium alginate (SA; 13 g kg−1) and pectin (P; 10 g kg−1) matrix.

Effect of recycling on mechanical and physical properties of polycarbonate/acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PC/ABS/PMMA) blends

Polymer International, Volume 75, Issue 8, Page 748-758, August 2026.
The 100% recycling of optimal polycarbonate/acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PC/ABS/PMMA) blends, identified through the mixture design, over multiple successive cycles provides valuable insights into their life cycle. Subsequently, chemical, rheological, thermal and mechanical characterizations will be carried out to evaluate

Farm‐Scale Recharge Pits for Improving Local Groundwater Availability: Insights From a Hardrock Watershed in Rajasthan, India

World Water Policy, Volume 12, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Groundwater depletion is a major challenge in semiarid, hard‐rock regions where irrigation demands often exceed natural recharge. This study evaluates the effectiveness of farm‐scale recharge pits as a local, supplementary, and community‐managed groundwater recharge solution in the Dharta catchment of Rajasthan, India. Alongside check dams and

Natural Antioxidants as Thermal Stabilizers in Post‐Consumer Polypropylene

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 28, July 20, 2026.
A synergistic antioxidant system combining two natural antioxidants, quercetin and tocopherol, enhances the thermo‐oxidative stability of recycled polypropylene. The approach addresses key barriers to the utilization of recycled polymers, offering a sustainable pathway to improve material performance and supporting the broader adoption of recycled ...

Volume change behavior of bentonite-sand mixture under constant suction condition

MATEC Web of Conferences, 2018
The unsaturated state of soil can raise many geotechnical problems upon wetting-drying cycles such as volume change resulting in collapse or swell, change in the shear strength, and change in the hydraulic conductivity.

High Density Polyethylene/Ground Tire Rubber Composites Compatibilized by Dicumyl Peroxide

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 25, July 5, 2026.
ABSTRACT In this study, the thermal behavior of dicumyl peroxide (DCP) was first evaluated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), which confirmed a peak decomposition temperature around 172°C, highlighting its incompatibility with standard melt‐mixing techniques for most polyolefins. To overcome this limitation,

Integrating physical and statistical models for regional rainfall‐induced landslide hazard assessment

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 7, July 2026.
We present an event‐based FS–probability mapping to link physically based slope stability analysis with statistical probability prediction. Results indicate a mappable relationship between factor of safety and landslide probability, and the hybrid model shows comparable discriminative performance across two extreme‐rainfall events with contrasting ...

Understanding of Molecular Mechanisms and Breeding Strategies for Enhancing Oleic Acid Biosynthesis in Oil Crops

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Oleic acid (C18:1), a monounsaturated fatty acid, is a key determinant of nutritional value and oxidative stability of vegetable oils. Increasing its concentration has therefore become a central objective in oilseed crop improvement. This review summarizes current knowledge on the molecular mechanisms and breeding strategies underlying oleic ...
