This work studied biocomposites based on a blend of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and the ethylene–vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA), filled with 30 wt.% of cellulosic components (microcrystalline cellulose or wood flour). The LDPE/EVA ratio varied from 0 to 100%. It was shown that the addition of EVA to LDPE increased the elasticity of biocomposites...

Additive manufacturing (AM) of components using material extrusion (MEX) offers the potential for the integration of functions through the use of multi-material design, such as sensors, actuators, energy storage, and electrical connections. However, there is a significant gap in the availability of electrical composite properties, which is essentia...

Yellow Sigatoka, caused by the fungus Pseudocercospora musae, represents one of the most challenging diseases in bananas, which is aggravated due to the genetic variability of this pathogen. The main objective of this study was to characterize the infection process of P. musae in two banana cultivars with different levels of resistance and to quant...

Robust materials in medical applications are sought after and researched, especially for 3D printing in bone tissue engineering. Poly[ε-caprolactone] (PCL) is a commonly used polymer for scaffolding and other medical uses. Its strength is a drawback compared to other polymers. Herein, PCL was mixed with hydroxyapatite (HAp). Composites were develop...

The authors performed an ex vivo and in vivo evaluation of the ultrastructural effects on the conjunctival epithelial cells of a new multiple-action tear substitute containing cross-linked hyaluronic acid, lipids and trehalose (Trimix®), using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with conjunctival impression cytology. The ex vivo study highlights the...

Herbaria are vital resources of biodiversity education and conservation. They contain significant dried collections and botanical data of plant species that are useful for taxonomy, systematics, and plant-based applied research applications. Verbascum L. is the largest genus within the Scrophulariaceae family globally. However, the high morphologic...

Silicon has dimensional limitations in following Moore’s law; thus, new 2D materials complementing Silicon are being researched. Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) is a prospective material anticipated to bridge the gap to complement Silicon and enhance the performances of semiconductor devices and embedded systems in the package. For a synthesis process ...

Eyespot foci on butterfly wings function as organizers of eyespot color patterns during development. Despite their importance, focal structures have not been examined in detail. Here, we microscopically examined scales, sockets, and the wing membrane in the butterfly eyespot foci of both expanded and unexpanded wings using the Blue Pansy butterfly ...

Surface Topography: Metrology and Properties
For predicting surface performance, multiscale topography analysis consistently outperforms standard roughness metrics; however, surface-characterization tools limit the range of sizes that can be measured. Therefore, we evaluate the use of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to systematically measure small-scale topography. While others have employ...
