Production of Cellulose From Different Species of Banana (Musa Paradisiaca) Mid Rib Waste: A Sustainable Raw Material for Industrial Applications

This study demonstrates that cellulose pulp with high yield (up to 40%) and suitable morphological properties for industrial applications can be successfully produced from the mid-rib wastes of four different *Musa paradisiaca* banana species in Nigeria via alkaline sulphite pulping, offering a sustainable alternative to wood-based raw materials.

Selective Targeting Through Chemical Remodeling of Protein Neosurfaces

This study presents a dynamic neosurface engineering strategy using a supramolecular peptide platform to chemically remodel the intrinsically disordered surface of aldose reductase (ALR2), creating a selective "NeoFunnel Interface" that enables high-affinity targeting and adaptive drug release while avoiding cross-reactivity with its homologous enzyme ALR1.

Fabrication of Three-Dimensional Graphene-Like Networks (3D-GLNs) for Strengthening Nickel-Based Composites

This study demonstrates that fabricating nickel-based composites reinforced with in-situ synthesized three-dimensional graphene-like networks via rapid thermal annealing and spark plasma sintering significantly enhances mechanical properties, achieving a 33.53% increase in yield strength and a 54.93% increase in ultimate tensile strength compared to pure nickel.

Two coordination polymers via one-pot synthesis and crystallization based on semirigid tripodal carboxylic acid

Two new three-dimensional cadmium coordination polymers were successfully synthesized via one-pot solvothermal reaction using a semirigid tripodal carboxylic acid and a flexible N-donor ligand, where the distinct trans and cis conformational configurations of the ligand dictate the formation of meso-helical chains and discrete ring structures, respectively.

History-Aware Text Representations for Polymer Property Prediction from Literature-Derived Records

This paper introduces Holistic History-aware Text (HHT), a framework that leverages natural language descriptions of polymer composition, synthesis, and processing via large language models to outperform traditional structure-only encoders in predicting macroscopic properties from heterogeneous literature-derived records.

Retrofitting Steam Cracking for Circular Olefins from Plastics-waste Naphtha

This study demonstrates that retrofitting existing steam-cracking infrastructure to process plastics-waste derived naphtha is economically viable and can reduce the minimum selling price of olefins by approximately 7.2% compared to conventional naphtha, provided specific feed compositions and geographic conditions are met.

Photoredox/Copper Synergistic Catalysis: One-Step Modular Assembly of Sulfonimidamides from Aryl Diazonium Salts, Tr-NSO, and Amines

This paper reports the first photoredox/copper dual-catalyzed, redox-neutral one-step assembly of arylsulfonimidamides from aryl diazonium salts, Tr-NSO, and amines via concurrent C–S and S–N bond formation, offering a highly efficient and general strategy that circumvents competing side reactions and unlocks the reactivity of sulfonimidoyl radicals for constructing diverse S(VI)-containing scaffolds.

PdSn Bimetallic Catalysts Prepared by Electroless Deposition for Enhanced n-Butane Dehydrogenation to Butenes

This study demonstrates that PdSn bimetallic catalysts synthesized via cyclic electroless deposition on surfactant-modified supports exhibit superior n-butane dehydrogenation performance compared to monometallic Pd, with the PdSn/Silica variant achieving optimal conversion and butene yields at 550°C due to enhanced metal dispersion and synergistic Pd–Sn interactions.
