Article Abstract
To optimize the imbalance between the interfacial bonding and porosity properties of carbon paper (CP) caused by phenol formaldehyde resin (PF) impregnation, and therefore improve the performance of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), a new approach through cellulose nanofibers grafted with methyl methacrylate (CNFM) as a modified reinforcement and pore-forming agent for PF is investigated. Through suppressing the methylene backbone fracture of CNFM-modified PF during its thermal depolymerization, the interfacial bonding between PF matrix carbon and carbon fibers is enhanced. Compared with unmodified CP, the in-plane resistivity of CNFM-modified CP is reduced by 35.78 %, while the connected porosity increases to 82.26 %, and more homogeneous pore size distribution (PSD) in the range of 20-40 μm is obtained for CNFM-modified CP. Besides, the tensile strength, flexural strength, and air permeability of CNFM-modified CP increase by 72.78 %, 298.4 %, and 103.97 %, respectively. In addition, CNFM-modified CP achieves the peak power density of PEMFCs to 701.81 mW·cm, exhibiting 10.98 % improvement compared with commercial CP (632.39 mW·cm), evidently achieving an integral promotion of CP and comprehensive performance.

Structure elucidation and antioxidant activity of the radical-induced oxidation products obtained from procyanidins B1 to B4.

A- and B-type procyanidins (PCs) are widely known for their health-promoting properties, such as antioxidant activity. The limited availability of reference substances represents a major challenge, resulting in a low number of systematic studies on their health benefits. In our study, the optimised 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical-induced oxidation of the B-types B1 and B2 was carried out yielding the corresponding A-types A1 (1) and A2 (2), which have an additional ether bridge between C2--C7, whereas oxidation of B3 and B4 produced a six-membered spirocyclic ring system including a spiro-carbon atom at C8t (3-5).

In this paper, we introduce a coarse-grained model of polymer crystallization using a multiphase-field approach. The model combines a multiphase-field method, Nakamura's kinetic equation, and the equation of heat conduction for studying microstructural evolution of crystallization under isothermal and non-isothermal conditions. The multiphase-field method provides flexibility in adding any number of phases with different properties making the model effective in studying blends or composite materials.

The overexpression of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) has been recognized as a pivotal factor contributing to the emergence of multidrug resistance (MDR), a phenomenon that frequently limits the efficacy of chemotherapy and profoundly impacts patient prognosis. Consequently, the inhibition of P-gp's efflux function has become a critical therapeutic strategy for overcoming drug resistance and enhancing chemotherapeutic efficacy. In recent years, the development of P-gp inhibitors has garnered significant attention, particularly with the frequent incorporation of heterocyclic derivatives, which exhibit exceptional biological activity and favorable chemical properties, into drug design.

The construction sector faces the daunting task of meeting growing construction demand with a 'zero-emission resource pool'-materials that are compatible with a near-future zero-emissions economy. Most decarbonisation roadmaps and scenario analyses for the sector depend heavily on high-risk technologies such as carbon storage that have not yet been deployed at significant scale, or favour recycling whilst overlooking likely constraints from limited supplies of zero-emissions electricity. This paper therefore provides a first critical review of options to supply construction materials in the UK with realistic expectations about the availability of carbon storage, zero-emissions electricity and zero-emissions transport.

Lots of agricultural or environmental studies, researches, policy evaluations are based on Land Parcel Information System (LPIS), combined with other pedo-climatic or agro-environmental data. This is the case for example for different kinds of models, as crop models which have been used widely in France to assess ecosystemic services or carbon storage, agent-based models for watershed analyses or for models assessing erosion risks. However, integration of pedo-climatic and agro-environmental data at a high-resolution level remains challenging.
