Innovations in polysaccharide‐based hydrogels in sustainable agriculture
Polysaccharide‐based hydrogels are promising in sustainable agriculture, as these natural polymers have the ability to absorb water and nutrients and release them gradually in the soil, in addition to ensuring biodegradability and lower cost. However, some challenges still need to be overcome.

Synthesis of Poly(Itaconate)s With High Monomer Conversion Applying Emulsion Polymerization
Itaconic acid and its derivatives are a promising and bio‐based substitute for oil‐based polymers such as acrylates. In this study, the optimization of polymerization of itaconic acid esters is described by applying emulsion polymerization leading to high reaction conversions and low residual monomer contents. ABSTRACT Itaconic acid and its derivatives

Universal Phase Identification of Block Copolymers From Physics‐Informed Machine Learning
ABSTRACT Block copolymers play a vital role in materials science due to their diverse self‐assembly behavior. Traditionally, exploring the block copolymer self‐assembly and associated structure–property relationships involve iterative synthesis, characterization, and theory, which is labor‐intensive both experimentally and computationally.

Enhanced Degradation of Vinyl Copolymers Based on Lipoic Acid
ABSTRACT The introduction of degradable units into the backbone of commodity vinyl polymers represents a major opportunity to address the societal challenge of plastic waste and polymer recycling. Previously, we reported the facile copolymerization of α‐lipoic acid derivatives containing 1,2‐dithiolane rings with vinyl monomers leading to the ...
