39. It's the product not the polymer: Rethinking plastic pollution

Image
     The authors present in this article a bitter discussion about the current situation of plastic pollution in oceans. Data has been misinterpreted and shared incorrectly with alarmist holders in news that only feed the plast-fobia . They twist the mainstream by taking conclusions from data, but highlighting this global problem anyway.  Anchor / Google Podcasts / iVoox / Spotify & much more SPANISH AUDIO Published in WIREs Water on 28 th September 2020 Thomas Stanton, Paul Kay, Matthew Johnson, Faith Ka Shun Chan, Rachel L.

38. Investigating the presence of microplastics in demersal sharks of the North-East Atlantic

Image
          The presence of microplastics in oceans all over the world is already an unquestionable issue nowadays. In this study, the authors focus the hunt of polymeric fibers in sharks , a spice that is normally forgotten when the impact of the human waste is analysed. Take a look at a new example about how plastic is everywhere. Anchor / Google Podcasts / iVoox / Spotify & much more SPANISH AUDIO Published in Scientific Reports on 22 nd July 2020 Kristian J.

37. Enhancement of service life of polymer electrolyte fuel cells through application of nanodispersed ionomer

Image
          We open up a new tag #FuelCells with this attempt of the researchers to explore and improve the behaviour of different configuration and polymeric electrolytes in a classic sistem. We hope the article reveals you some clues about the field.   Anchor / Google Podcasts / iVoox / Spotify & much more SPANISH AUDIO Published in Science Advances on 31 st January 2020 Chi-Yeong Ahn, Juhee Ahn, Sun Young Kang, Ok-Hee Kim, Dong Woog Lee, Ji Hyun Lee, Jae Goo Shim, Chang Hyun Lee, Yong-Hun Cho & Yung-Eun Sung DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.aaw0870

36. Plastic waste to fuels by hydrocracking at mild conditions

Image
          In this article the idea of recovering different types of gasoline from plastic residues is explored. The researchers select one combination of metallic particles and zeolite as a catalyst and develop different experiments finding, not only that the process is available, but also the possibility of obtaining different mixtures of hydrocarbons by modulating the reaction conditions. Take a listen to this study. Anchor / Google Podcasts / iVoox / Spotify & much more SPANISH AUDIO Published in Science Advances on 21 st april 2021 Sibao Liu, Pavel A. Kots, Brandon C.
