A comprehensive review of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogels prepared by the
freezing/thawing (FT) process is presented. We discuss their preparation, gelation …

Cultural heritage is a crucial resource to increase our society's resilience. However,
degradation processes, enhanced by environmental and anthropic risks, inevitably affect …

Abstract Flexible Zn–air batteries (FZABs) have significant potentials as efficient energy
storage devices for wearable electronics because of their safeties and high energy‐to‐cost …

Abstract Macro-, meso-and microplastic (MAP, MEP, MP) occurrence in compost is an
environmental issue whose extent and effects are not yet understood. Here, we studied the …

Cultural Heritage is a crucial socioeconomic resource; yet, recurring degradation processes
endanger its preservation. Serendipitous approaches in restoration practice need to be …

Cultural heritage assets constitute a fundamental socioeconomic resource, but the actual
works of art need to be maintained, counteracting degradation processes, to transfer these …

The restricted porosity of most hydrogels established for in vitro 3D tissue engineering
applications limits embedded cells with regard to their physiological spreading, proliferation …

Pottery is the oldest art and plays a landmark role in human civilization. The repair of
ceramic relics often uses acrylic resins and cyanoacrylate adhesives. However, existing …

This study reports for the first time the ingestion of meso-(5.01–25 mm) and microplastics (1
μm–5 mm) by the sea anemone Bunodosoma cangicum, the most abundant actiniarian …

Hypothesis Organic solvents are often used for cleaning highly water-sensitive artifacts in
modern/contemporary art. Due to the toxicity of most solvents, confining systems must be …
