Kostiainen, Jaana Vapaavuori Advanced Science, 2026, 13, e24247 Abstract: Movement-sensing textiles are crucial for advancing wearable technology, providing solutions for real-time human motion monitoring. Textile-integrated piezoresistive sensors often struggle with balancing sensitivity and mechanical stability, alongs

Yee Lim, Mery Lempinen, Nelli Kaskirinne, Simo Levan, Hanna Romppainen, Aaro Uusitalo, Jinze Dou Bioresource Technology, 2026, 457, 134930 Abstract: Pressure to decrease freshwater consumption at pulp mills is causing an increase in deposit problems, as higher probability of scaling and precipitation is contributed to the increasing concentrations of these compounds in the process streams. The goal of this study was to characterize the compo

Mattos, Eero Kontturi Chemical Engineering Journal, 2026, 538, 176621 Abstract: In this study, leakage-free, multifunctional foams were prepared by incorporating polyethylene glycol (PEG) with different molecular weights (2000, 4000, 6000, 8000) into cellulose nanofiber (CNF)–silica Pickering foams. The resulting constructs com

Understanding the factors governing its solubility helps understand the behavior of this chemically heterogeneous aromatic biopolymer that has found increasing use in recent years. This study explores the molecu
