Effect of eugenol acetylation on encapsulation, controlled release, and antimicrobial properties of alginate films incorporating lignin microparticles

This study demonstrates that sodium alginate films incorporating lignin microparticles loaded with eugenol or acetyl eugenol serve as effective, thermally stable, and antimicrobial controlled-release platforms for food packaging, with acetyl eugenol showing higher encapsulation efficiency and faster release due to its lower polarity and reduced hydrogen bonding.

Long-Time Stability of Menthyl and Thymyl Vinyl Ethers in the Koh–Dmso–Acetylene System: Product Loss, Byproducts, and Polymer/Resin Formation

This study demonstrates that menthyl vinyl ether exhibits superior long-term stability and lower resin formation compared to thymyl vinyl ether in KOH–DMSO–acetylene systems, reaching its optimal yield at 300 minutes versus 180 minutes for the thymyl derivative, which suffers significantly higher post-peak degradation and polymerization.

Thermal behavior and oxidation kinetics of coal gangue under varying moisture conditions: An experimental and predictive modeling study

This study elucidates the dual regulatory mechanism of moisture on coal gangue oxidation—where moderate levels (8.61%) promote self-heating while excessive moisture (18%) inhibits it—and develops a high-accuracy HPSO-GRU predictive model, supported by molecular dynamics simulations and a graphical interface, to enable early warning of spontaneous combustion risks.

Influence of non-ferromagnetic Al/Cr ratio on microstructure, magnetic and corrosion properties of medium-entropy alloys

This study demonstrates that systematically varying the Al/Cr ratio in Fe₂Co₄Co₄AlₓCrᵧ medium-entropy alloys governs their phase evolution from FCC+BCC to BCC+B2 structures, thereby optimizing hardness, soft magnetic performance, and corrosion resistance, with the Fe₂Co₄Al₁.₈Cr₁.₂ composition emerging as a promising candidate for soft magnetic applications due to its superior magnetic properties and Fe₂Co₄Al₁.₆Cr₁.₄ showing the best overall corrosion resistance. *Correction for strict one-sentence constraint and clarity:* This study reveals that adjusting the Al/Cr ratio in Fe₂Co₄AlₓCrᵧ medium-entropy alloys drives microstructural evolution from FCC+BCC to BCC+B2 phases, significantly enhancing hardness, soft magnetic properties, and corrosion resistance, with the Fe₂Co₄Al₁.₈Cr₁.₂ alloy identified as a promising candidate for soft magnetic applications due to its optimal balance of high saturation magnetization, low coercivity, and good corrosion performance.
