Using Lignin and Spent Coffee Grounds as Bio‐Additives in 3D‐Printable Poly Lactic Acid/Multi‐Walled Carbon Nanotube Composites for Advanced Electronic Applications

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Bio‐based additives derived from lignin and spent coffee grounds (SCG) are used to enhance MWCNT dispersion in PLA composites, enabling improved electrical conductivity and reliable in material extruded strain‐gauge sensors. ABSTRACT In this work, three bio‐based additives, lignin, spent coffee grounds (SCG), and oil extracted from SCG (Ox‐SCG) were ...

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

Polymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
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

Contaminants of emerging concern in agricultural soils: Current understanding, overlooked issues, and future priorities

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) in agriculture represent a growing global challenge for food safety and public health. In this review, we synthesized evidence on how substances such as pharmaceuticals, microplastics, and per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) enter soils, accumulate in crops, and affect ecological and human health. We found

A Comprehensive Review of Adsorbents for Rare Earth Separation: Design, Synthesis, Adsorption Performance, and Mechanisms

Rare Metals, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rare earth elements (REEs) play an irreplaceable role in modern technology and industry. However, due to the highly similar physicochemical properties among REEs, their separation remains a significant challenge. Additionally, REEs often exist in low‐concentration solutions, making efficient REE recovery an urgent task.
