Robust β‐myrcene block copolymer elastomeric vitrimers
Polymer International, EarlyView.Myrcene‐based vitrimeric elastomers were compared: statistical (poly(styrene‐stat‐myrcene‐stat‐AAEMA)] versus ‘hard–soft’ diblock (poly(styrene)‐block‐poly(myrcene‐co‐AAEMA)). The diblock's ability to anchor the glassy poly(styrene) blocks in a self‐assembled microstructure was effective – leading to four times higher tensile stress and ten times ...

Factors injecting effectiveness of two surfactants on water-repellent soils
California Agriculture, 1970 WATER-REPELLENT soils are characterized by two undesirable physical properties: low water infiltration rate, and high runoff. Such soils have been reported in many parts of the world under various conditions, however, one of California's real practical ...

Polymer International, EarlyView.An overview and categorization of man‐made per‐ or polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) including low‐molar‐mass and high‐molar‐mass fluorochemicals, and their international regulations is presented. Though certain PFASs are toxic, bioaccumulative and cross the human cellular membranes, others, such as fluoropolymers, are safe, reliable and involved in ...

The quest for extreme water repellency: Superhydrophobicity made easy [PDF]
, 2009 In his seminal work On Floating Bodies I Archimedes of Syracuse provided an explanation of the action of solid bodies on water. Although his thesis immediately benefitted King Heiro II² and has continued to serve mankind well, it ignores the effect of ...

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

Intercropping mitigates incidence of the oilseed rape insect pest complex
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Intercropping reduces the incidence of the oilseed rape insect pest complex with a significant impact of the direct visual and physical disruption provided by the companion plant. Abstract BACKGROUND Oilseed rape (OSR, Brassica napus) is a major crop requiring numerous phytosanitary treatments.

Packaging Technology and Science, EarlyView.This study aims to optimise the application methods of a biobased suspension of micro/nano cellulose fibrils from agro‐biomass subjected to high‐pressure homogenisation. Two methods were selected, bar coating (BC) and spray coating (SC), and were tested using an LF factorial design with 3 levels and 2 factors.

Repellent, irritant and toxic effects of plant EO compounds on the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae ss Giles [PDF]
, 2013 yrethroids resistance has become widespread among malaria vector Anopheles gambiae populations in Africa. Alternative insecticides must be considered to prevent diseases transmission by An. gambiae bites. The long lasted treated bed nets are particularly
