This study demonstrates that incorporating frankincense ethanolic extract into PVA/starch/glycerol films significantly enhances their mechanical strength, moisture resistance, and antimicrobial efficacy against food spoilage while maintaining biodegradability, with the 0.5 g extract formulation (AR-06) showing the optimal overall performance.
This study demonstrates that a lignin-derived carbon solid acid catalyst modified by non-thermal plasma grafting (LDSA-COOH) efficiently catalyzes the dehydration of fructose to 5-HMF with high yield and stability in a DMSO/water biphasic system, offering a sustainable and energy-efficient alternative to conventional preparation methods.
This study elucidates the structure–activity–selectivity relationship of Ru catalysts supported on MCM-41, ZSM-5, ZSM-22, and γ-Al₂O₃ for acetophenone hydrogenation, demonstrating that the support's pore architecture and acid-site distribution critically govern reaction conversion and product selectivity between partial and complete hydrogenation.
This study demonstrates that incorporating surface-modified nano-hBN into an EPDM/micro-SiC composite significantly enhances thermal conductivity and maximizes HVDC and HVAC breakdown strength, achieving peak electrical performance with a 20 phr nano-hBN loading.
This study comprehensively investigates the catalytic performance, chemical reactivity, and electronic structure of the centrosymmetric imidazolium hydrogen squarate ion pair through combined experimental and theoretical methods, demonstrating its effectiveness as a Brønsted acid catalyst in butyl acetate synthesis via a proposed catalytic cycle.
This study demonstrates that incorporating graphene oxide into hydrothermally grown hierarchical ZnO microflowers enhances both room-temperature ethanol sensing and UVA photodetection performance, with optimal photodetection occurring at 5 wt% GO loading while ethanol sensitivity peaks at 10 wt% GO.
This study demonstrates that varying cobalt salt precursor anions significantly influences the crystal growth and morphology of Co-BTC metal-organic frameworks, with the acetate-derived Co-BTC-C exhibiting superior catalytic performance in lowering the decomposition temperature and activation energy of ammonium perchlorate through the in situ generation of highly dispersed Co₃O₄.
Using molecular dynamics simulations with a machine-learning potential, this study demonstrates that incorporating graphite into crystalline silicon anodes significantly suppresses lithiation-induced strain—reducing it by approximately 5.8 times compared to graphite-free systems—thereby mitigating spatial localization of structural and mechanical deformation.
Although AlTiN coatings demonstrated superior mechanical properties, TiAlN coatings exhibited better overall tribocorrosion resistance in artificial saliva due to lower electrochemical activation and more stable friction behavior, resulting in the lowest wear rate.
This paper demonstrates the practical implementation of a tiered Safe-by-Design framework within the EU-funded PROPLANET project, utilizing regulatory data mining, in silico screening, and in vitro testing to assess and guide the development of PFAS-free formulations for technical textiles, food-packaging machinery, and glass applications while highlighting methodological gaps and the need for further hazard characterization.
