Construction Trade Work Is Associated With Accelerated Decline in Kidney Function

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Construction workers are exposed to airborne particulates, organic solvents, and metals—agents linked to elevated risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Few studies have evaluated whether construction trade work is associated with longitudinal changes in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), a key indicator of kidney function.

A self‐retaining mouth prop for intraoral access during periodontal surgery in rat models: A technical note

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
A mouth prop designed to mimic the oral cavity of rats was made that provided stable, self‐retaining retraction, thereby facilitating oral surgery on rodents. Compared to conventional methods, it decreased surgical time, operator fatigue, and slippage. Its use led to higher efficiency and fewer complications and it was cost effective to produce.

Cyclic Processability of Functional Liquid Crystalline Epoxy Networks via Dynamic Ester Bonding

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
This work reports the successful reprocessing of liquid crystal epoxy networks through two distinct modes—welding of clean breaks and reconstitution from shredded material—without significant loss of functionality. Thermal and mechanical characterization shows stability in the shape memory behavior and glass transition temperature over multiple ...

Scaling of Planar Sodium‐Nickel Chloride Battery Cells to 90 cm2 Active Area

Batteries &Supercaps, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2025.
Large planar Na β′′ alumina electrolytes are prepared by tape‐casting and die‐pressing. These ceramic electrolytes are used to prepare planar sodium‐nickel chloride cells with 90 cm2 active area, providing a high capacity of 7 Ah. Successful cell cycling is demonstrated at 300 °C at rates up to C/4 (20 mA cm−2) for a cumulative capacity of 3.6 Ah cm−2.

A General Workflow for Tangential Flow Filtration Perfusion Scale‐Up

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tangential flow filtration (TFF) perfusion using hollow‐fiber modules offers substantial advantages over other mammalian cell retention technologies. Recently, increased awareness of Starling flow has helped to enhance filtration performance to similar, or even higher levels compared to alternative technologies.

Design principles for vitrimers: Linking dynamic covalent chemistry, network architecture, and engineering performance

Bulletin of the Korean Chemical Society, EarlyView.
This review examines vitrimer performance from a broader perspective, considering not only dynamic covalent chemistry but also molecular structure, network architecture, and rheological behavior. These factors are discussed in relation to service and processing windows, reprocessing, repair, and engineering applications, providing a multiscale ...

From Material Tensions to Organizational Paradoxes: How Manufacturers Cope With the Limits of Circular Product Design

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Circular product design (CPD) is central to advancing the circular economy by enabling the narrowing, slowing, and closing of resource flows. Yet, its implementation remains persistently challenging for firms. Prior research has largely framed these challenges as discrete barriers, overlooking the structural contradictions embedded in CPD ...

Beyond Conventional Cost–Benefit Analysis to Integrated Sustainability Assessment in Additive Manufacturing

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Additive manufacturing (AM) adoption provides numerous benefits, including decentralised production, design flexibility, mass customisation, reduced material waste and lightweight designs. However, AM investment decisions are complex and challenging for manufacturers, and limited knowledge exists about the holistic assessment of relevant costs
