Direct electrocaloric characterization of polyvinylidene fluoride-based co- and terpolymers over a wide temperature range

Polyvinylidene fluoride-based polymers have emerged as promising materials for flexible and portable electronics, attracting significant attention as alternatives to electrocaloric ceramics for more energy-efficient cooling. Although many studies report record-high electrocaloric...

Dietary prevention of undernutrition reduces intestinal inflammation associated with an anti-inflammatory profile of gut microbiota in a preclinical model

Patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) have a high-risk for undernutrition. Undernutrition is associated with higher complications such as an increased mortality rate, a higher disease activity and an impaired quality of life in IBD patients. The aim of this study was to...

Blending PCI Coal and Biochar as Sustainable Alternative for Blast Furnace Fuels

The aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility of using biochar or its blends with pulverized coal injection (PCI) coal as a potential blast furnace (BF) fuel. A comparison was conducted between the properties of biochar obtained from the pyrolysis of coconut shell and...
