The Hong Kong Polytechnic UniversityNew composite structure boosts polypropylene’s low-temperature toughness
Higher Education PressPeer-Reviewed Publication
A research team from Taiyuan University of Technology and Zhejiang University has made headway in enhancing polypropylene (PP)’s performance. Their study, published in Engineering, reveals that blending PP with high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and polystyrene–polyethylene–polypropylene–polystyrene (SEPS) to form a SEPS@HDPE core–shell structure can adjust PP’s brittle–ductile transition temperature and improve its low-temperature toughness, with potential applications across various industries.

Oncomicrobial vaccines mitigate tumor progression via precisely targeting oncomicrobes in mice
Higher Education PressPeer-Reviewed Publication
This study explores the potential of oncomicrobial vaccines in mitigating tumor progression by targeting specific cancer-promoting microbes in mice. The researchers developed and tested vaccines against Campylobacter jejuni (C. jejuni) and enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis (ETBF), both of which are associated with colorectal cancer (CRC). The vaccines effectively reduced the colonization of these oncomicrobes, suppressed tumor development, and mitigated inflammation without significantly disrupting the gut microbiota. The findings suggest that oncomicrobial vaccines could be a promising strategy for preventing and treating CRC, particularly in individuals at high risk due to family history or other factors.

Teaching-learning algorithm boosts accuracy in EV battery monitoring
KeAi Communications Co., Ltd.Peer-Reviewed Publication
Accurate estimation of the State of Charge (SoC) in lithium-ion batteries is a pivotal factor for optimizing the performance, safety, and longevity of electric vehicles (EVs). Traditional methods often fail to capture the dynamic, nonlinear nature of battery behavior, resulting in inaccuracies that undermine battery management systems (BMS). A new hybrid model that combines deep neural networks (DNNs) with a teaching-learning based optimization (TLBO) algorithm is set to revolutionize SoC estimation, offering a much-needed solution to enhance the efficiency and reliability of EVs.
