Regression Analysis of the Impact of Foreign Direct Investments, Adjusted Net Savings, and Environmental Tax Revenues on the Consumption of Renewable Energy Sources in EU Countries
This article belongs to the Section A4: Bio-EnergyIt is very important for EU countries to achieve energy independence. But this is actually impossible without a high level of use or consumption of renewable energy (RE) sources. Important parameters affecting the consumption of RE sources are as follows: foreign direct investments (FDI), adjusted net savings (ANS), and environmental tax revenues. In the presented work, the likely impact of the above indicators on the level of use of RE sources was estimated using a second-order regression equation. As a result, it was established that the growth of the adjusted net savings indicator and an increase in environmental tax revenues (ETR) have a positive effect on the level of use of RE sources. With significant FDI, the level of ANS does not have a very obvious effect on the growth of the level of use of RE sources. An increase in the level of ANS allows for an increase in ETR, which in turn contributes to an increase in the level of consumption of RE sources. It was also established that an increase in the level of ANS contributes to a more complete realization of the potential of FDI for the development of RE. It has been empirically established that a consistently high consumption of renewable energy sources is actually possible in the countries with a high level of adjusted net savings, high environmental tax revenues, and active attraction of foreign direct investments.This publication was partially founded from BioTrainValue (BIOmass Valorisation via Superheated Steam Torrefaction, Pyrolysis, Gasification Amplified by Multidisciplinary Researchers TRAINing for Multiple Energy and Products’ Added VALUEs), with project number: 101086411, funded under Horizon Europe’s Maria Skłodowska-Curie Staff Exchange program
Non-linear functional polymers containing selective/cleavable bonds: Synthesis and their biomedical applications
Dedicated to Professor Stanisław Penczek on the occasion of his 90th birthday.Data sharing is not applicable to this article as no new data were created or analyzed in this study.The growing interest in functional materials has resulted in the emergence of smart polymers, demonstrating practical performance in various applications especially for biomedical purposes. The properties of functional polymers are mainly determined by the presence of functional groups that differ from those in the main chains. While some polymers are naturally active and considered functional, others require modification for enhanced impact and functionality. Many functional polymers typically have a linear backbone, but very recently the attention has been shifted towards those with specific topologies and architecture, for example, bottlebrushes, stars, dendritic polymers, and gels. Over the past few years, there has been a rising emphasis on integrating selective bonds into complex polymer structures to enhance chain scission in single macromolecules. This review captures the most recent and promising approaches to the design of non-linear functional polymers containing selective/cleavable bonds and discusses the potential of these materials for biomedical applications.The financial support from the National Science Centre, Poland is gratefully acknowledged (Grant UMO-2020/39/I/ST5/02108).
