Polymer Composite-Integrated Food Waste Management Across the Supply Chain: Quantification, Process Modelling, and Techno-Economic Valorization
Abstract: Food waste produced throughout the global food supply chain constitutes one of the most impactful forms of inefficiency within the current food production system, producing roughly 931 million tons per year and resulting in economic losses above $1 trillion worldwide each year. One aspect that has not been sufficiently studied systematically is how polymer composite materials, such as membrane separation systems, polymer-coated extraction equipment, fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) biorefinery infrastructure, and …

Polymer Based Optoelectronics in Clinical Application Treated with Sodium Fluoride and Aqueous Dimethyl Sulfoxide Solutions
Abstract: In polymer science, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and sodium fluoride (NaF) are frequently combined to dissolve, modify, or treat particular polymers, most notably in the processing of cellulose and the creation of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes. The viscosities, ultrasonic velocities, and sodium fluoride densities of aqueous solutions of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) have been measured at T=303.15, 308.15, 313.15, and 318.15 K. Fluorides (such as NaF or TBAF) help break inter-chain hydrogen …
