A look beyond predefined risk assessments, an explicit focus on value- and place-based priorities and decision making processes to access the impact on vulnerable communities at the center of analysis, to identify where, how, and when to target concrete efforts for risk reduction and prevent intolerable losses due to climate change.
Thermosetting Polymer Films with Tunable Mechanical Properties from Renewable Resources
The use renewable resources to prepare thermosetting polymer films with tunable mechanical properties is demonstrated in a new paper. These exciting results highlight the possibility of combining two structurally different renewable materials to prepare cross-linked networks with varying and tunable mechanical properties.
Steps to Remedy In Vitro–In Vivo Discrepancies: Nanoparticle Interactions with Blood and Lymph
Interactions of nanoparticles with their surroundings, both in vitro and in vivo, are different simply because the environments are different. As such, the first insight towards answering complex questions associated with in vitro-in vivo translation are provided.
