Membrane Polymers for the Pervaporative Separation of Polar Organics: Methanol and Acetonitrile
Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.We tested seven polymers as membranes for the pervaporative separation of methanol‐acetonitrile mixtures. Chloroprene rubber, silicone rubber, and Matrimid showed effective separation by favoring acetonitrile transport, enabling azeotrope breaking. Plasticization was assessed using Broadband Dielectric Spectroscopy.

Real‐Time Kinetic Monitoring of Dental Composite Photopolymerization by Photo‐DSC
Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.Real time photo‐DSC was used to investigate polymerization kinetics of Bis‐GMA/TEGDMA dental composites. The study thoroughly examines how photo‐initiator type, concentration, silica filler content, and moisture affect conversion and curing rate. Results highlight optimal initiator systems, filler effects, and moisture tolerance, providing valuable ...

Argon Cold Plasma Modification of Polyethylene Films to Tailor Surface and Barrier Properties
Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.Argon cold plasma treatment of low‐density polyethylene (LDPE) and high‐density polyethylene (HDPE) films induces major changes in surface chemistry and morphology. Contact angles decrease significantly while surface energy increases, improving wettability. FTIR confirms the formation of polar functional groups, while pronounced etching, roughness, and

Unlocking fruit dimensions: Quantification of functional traits driving plant–frugivore interactions
Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract Fleshy fruits attract animals to ingest fruit, swallow the seeds, and release them in the landscape, thus facilitating seed dispersal and plant regeneration. Attraction of animal dispersers is achieved via attractants such as color or scent, and rewards like sugars, lipids, and micronutrients.
