Polyvinylpyrrolidoneand Xanthan Gum Co-StabilizedCuprous Oxide Submicron Suspension for Effective Preservation of NaturalRubber Latex

Abstract Fresh natural rubber latex (NRL) is rich in nutrients such as proteins and sugars, making it highly susceptible to microbial growth and deterioration. Traditional ammonia-based preservatives generate irritating gases, posing hazards to worker health and the environment....

Highly Viscoelastic Rubber Extrusion: Evolution and Future Perspectives—A Review

Rubber extrusion has evolved through overlapping advances in equip design, rheological characterization, numerical modeling, sensing, and control. This structured critical narrative review synthesizes 180 sources published from 1972 to 2026, assembled through iterative keyword se...

Functional response of bacterial communities in surface sediments of qingshitan reservoir to anthropogenic disturbance

This study investigated the bacterial composition in surface sediments (0–5 cm) of Qingshitan Reservoir to elucidate their ecosystem functions in response to anthropogenic disturbances. Samples were collected in July 2023 from eight ecological points representing varying disturba...

Seismic behaviour of precast BFRP-reinforced concrete beam–column joints in sea-sand concrete

To investigate the seismic behaviour of precast seawater sea-sand concrete beam–column joints with basalt-fibre-reinforced polymer (BFRP) bars, four specimens were tested, including cast-in-situ (CiS) and precast interior/exterior joints. All specimens failed in flexure at beam e...

A Monolithic High‐Entropy Aerogel Anode for Stable and Low‐Overpotential Oxygen Evolution

ABSTRACT The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is pivotal to the energy transition. However, its sluggish multi‐electron kinetics and poor mass transport properties at high current densities have hindered its large‐scale implementation. In this work, we have developed a high‐entrop...

Asymmetric Responses of Ecosystem Health to Urbanization in a Typical Karst City: Spatiotemporal Patterns and Driving Mechanisms in Guilin, China

ABSTRACT Urban expansion can substantially reshape ecosystem structure and functioning, especially in ecologically fragile Karst landscapes. Clarifying how ecosystem health (EH) responds to urbanization and identifying the factors that drive spatial variation in EH are important...
