Influence of test method on biodegradation of bamboo-plastic composites by fungi
Maderas: Ciencia y Tecnología, 2017 The effects of differing ratios of bamboo/plastic polymers on resistance to fungal attack was assessed using two different decay test methods. Weight losses for non-treated southern pine and Carpinus betulus sapwood blocks indicated that the test ...

Dual‐Mode Gripper With Suction and Shape‐Adaptive Freezing Grasps
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This study presents a dual‐mode robotic gripper that combines vacuum suction with a shape‐adaptive freezing grasp. The freezing mode uses a compliant rubber membrane, a sprayed water layer, and dry‐ice powder to generate ice‐mediated adhesion while conforming to complex geometries.

RECYCLING POSSIBILITIES OF WOOD-PLASTIC COMPOSITES (WPC)
Zbornik radovaNowadays, the main goal is to minimize the negative impact of a product or service on the environment. Wood-plastic composites (WPC) can be produced in a sustainable way, with minimal waste. WPC composites can be produced from natural raw materials. They can also be produced as a result of recycling, where either wood or plastic come from the recyclate.

The Effect of Methylation and Anti-Oxidant on Discoloration of Weathered Wood Plastic Composites [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Wood and Paper Industries, 2011 As the outdoor application of Wood Plastic Composites (WPCs) become more widespread, the resistance of these products against weathering, particularly ultraviolet (UV) light becomes more important. When WPCs are exposed to outdoor ultraviolet light, rain,

Ethical Precision in Nanoscale Brain Interfacing
Advanced Science, EarlyView.As brain interfaces approach the nanoscale, precision no longer only measures—it knows, predicts, and potentially reshapes the mind. This work argues that traditional ethics fails under such conditions and proposes a shift toward continuous, operation‐based governance using the recovery–discovery framework to track, constrain, and responsibly steer ...
