Polybutadiene Modification of Brown Grease‐Sulfur Materials Open
High sulfur‐content materials (HSMs) prepared via inverse vulcanization are attractive for a range of sustainable material applications, particularly when synthesized from waste‐derived feedstocks such as brown grease (BG). Two BG‐based co…

Brown Grease Esterification: A Design Strategy to Modulate Homogeneity, Cross‐Linking, and Upcycled Mass Economy in High Sulfur‐Content Materials Open
Brown grease (BG) is a high‐free fatty acid (FFA) waste coproduct from the food industry that remains largely unexploited. Herein, we describe a design strategy to upcycle BG into high sulfur‐content materials (HSMs) via inverse vulcanizat…

Static and Dynamic Assessments of a Sulfur-Triglyceride Composite for Antimicrobial Surface Applications Open
Over 80 MT of elemental sulfur, a byproduct of fossil fuel desulfurization, are generated annually. This has spurred the development of high sulfur content materials (HSMs) via inverse vulcanization as a productive pathway towards sulfur u…

Influence of Additives on Flame-Retardant, Thermal, and Mechanical Properties of a Sulfur–Triglyceride Polymer Composite Open
Plastics and composites for consumer goods often require flame retardants (FRs) to mitigate flammability risks. Finding FRs that are effective in new sustainable materials is important for bringing them to the market. This study evaluated …

Low-Cost Microfluidic Systems for Detection of Neglected Tropical Diseases Open
Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) affect tropical and subtropical countries and are caused by viruses, bacteria, protozoa, and helminths. These kinds of diseases spread quickly due to the tropical climate and limited access to clean water…
