The study investigates the impact of integrating the KAP framework on organizational performance and financial results by analyzing the effects of improved awareness of D&I principles, positive attitudes towards inclusive practices, and the execution of D&I policies. The study utilizes both quantitative and qualitative data collected from various polymer industries. It evaluates characteristics such as innovation output, productivity measures, and personnel turnover rates. Initial results indicate that companies with strong diversity and inclusion programs see enhanced financial results, which may be linked to a well-informed, positive-minded, and actively involved staff. The study recognizes the limitations of isolating the influences of diversity and inclusion (D&I) from other financial factors, the focus on mostly large-scale businesses, and the need for longitudinal data to accurately measure long-term financial effects. However, it still provides evidence of the positive economic impact of D&I. The results provide valuable insights into how diversity and inclusion programs may be strategically used in the polymer sector to improve financial performance.","PeriodicalId":18107,"journal":{"name":"Macromolecular Symposia","volume":"414 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143830962","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Web of Science database provides the researchers with access to 92 research publications that are published between 1975 and 2023 for the purpose of this study. According to the findings of the investigation, there has been a recent rise in the number of publications that discuss the topic of sustainability in the apparel business, with a particular emphasis on the utilization of materials that are based on polymers. The study outlines the themes that are explored the most often, such as the effects of polymer-based products on the environment, techniques of recycling and upcycling, and sustainable concept practices. In addition to this, the study identifies the authors, research institutes, and publications in this subject that are considered to have the highest influence. This study, in its whole, sheds light on the present state of research on polymer-based materials in the apparel industry and offers possible pathways for future research to reach a more sustainable and environmentally friendly approach to fashion.

Only about 50% of an orange is juice, so enormous amount of waste is generated annually. In this context, studies involving alternatives for the remaining 50% isn't wasted or sent to landfill are an issue of responsibility. In the present work pectin is extracted for obtaining a film-forming solution. The extracted pectin is classified as high ester pectin, since its degree of esterification is higher than 50%. The film-forming solution gives rise to transparent films with low yellowing index. The addition of CaCl2 produces crosslinked film with 35% and 50% of percentage increase in the contact angle and tensile strength, respectively. The authors propose to use of film-forming solution without and with CaCl2 as edible packaging materials. In this work, they are applied as edible coating, directly onto the peeled apple slices, or as edible wrapping film. Both strategies aim to delay the browning of apples, evaluated by the browning index. This result is important for the marketing of fresh-cut fruits, since the acceptance by consumers is strongly influenced by visual aspects.","PeriodicalId":18107,"journal":{"name":"Macromolecular Symposia","volume":"414 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143831186","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, fluorotelomers and some of their breakdown products have raised environmental and health concerns due to their persistence, bioaccumulation, and potential toxicity. Hence, its removal from industrial waste is essential. In this study, anion exchange resin as an adsorbent is investigated for fluorotelomer olefin (FTO) removal. Three different parameters are investigated: adsorbent dosage, contact time, and initial concentration of FTO. The effects of other compounds on FTO removal are also investigated. The surface morphology and surface area of anion exchange resin are also conducted using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), respectively. The surface of anion exchange shows smooth and fractured structure with 2.0381 mg2 g−1 surface area. The results show fast and high removal of FTO up to 80% using optimum sorption condition (1.25 mg, 5 h, and 400 mg L−1). In addition, the removal efficiency of FTO is not affected by the presence of other interference compounds. The understanding of FTO removal through anion exchange resin offered by this work should lead to more effective applications for fluorotelomers removal from the environment.","PeriodicalId":18107,"journal":{"name":"Macromolecular Symposia","volume":"414 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143431236","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of this research is to assess the antibacterial activity of coconut leaf-based packaging coated with propolis. Specifically, 3% concentrations of two types of propolis from different regions, namely Indonesia (A) and Brazil (B), are chosen as coating materials for the coconut leaves. It chooses a 3% propolis concentration for the coating based on a preliminary test. The application of the coating influences the thickness of the leaves, ranging from 0.39 to 0.41 mm, and results in a color change (∆E) ranging from 23.95 to 28.06. The enhancement of antimicrobial features against Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli is more pronounced in propolis B-coated leaves (9.84 mm for B. subtilis; 13.22 mm for E. coli) compared to propolis A-coated leaves (8.94 mm for B. subtilis; 12.28 mm for E. coli), as observed through the inhibition zone test.","PeriodicalId":18107,"journal":{"name":"Macromolecular Symposia","volume":"414 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143431239","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
