Food Packaging Chemicals and Human Health: Molecular Toxicity, Exposure Pathways, and Regulatory Perspectives
Abstract: Food packaging plays a vital role in preserving food quality, extending shelf life, and ensuring safe transportation. However, increasing evidence indicates that chemicals from packaging materials can migrate into food during processing, storage, and consumption, resulting in chronic human exposure. Several food packaging chemicals, including bisphenols, phthalates, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), styrene, heavy metals, and non-intentionally added substances (NIAS), have emerged as important xenobiotics due to their potential adverse …

A Particle-Derived Nonlinear Dynamical Framework for Bubble Oscillations: Reduced-Order Modeling, Bifurcation Analysis, and Optimal Stabilization
Abstract: Particle-based fluid simulation has emerged as a powerful computational framework for modeling complex multiphase flows involving large deformations, moving interfaces, and nonlinear fluid interactions that challenge conventional mesh-based approaches. In this work, a nonlinear dynamical systems framework is developed for particle-resolved bubble oscillations by constructing a reduced-order model that preserves the dominant physical mechanisms governing bubble interface evolution. The formulation represents the bubble dynamics through coupled radial and shape deformation …

Recent Advances in Crystal Defect Engineering of Semiconductor Photocatalysts for Sustainable Environmental and Energy Applications
Abstract: Semiconductor photocatalysis has emerged as one of the most promising green technologies for addressing environmental pollution and global energy challenges through solar energy utilization. Nevertheless, the practical application of conventional semiconductor photocatalysts is often limited by their narrow visible-light absorption, rapid recombination of photogenerated electron–hole pairs, insufficient active sites, and poor charge-transfer efficiency. Defect engineering has recently attracted significant attention as an effective strategy to overcome these limitations by deliberately …
