Prediction of Properties of Polymer Composite Formulations Using Ensemble Models With Feature Generation

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
This study develops an interpretable machine‐learning framework to predict multiple properties of polymer composites based on composition and processing variables. By combining ensemble models with composition‐based feature generation and SHAP‐based interpretation, the approach reveals composition‐property relationships and supports efficient multi ...

Natural Antioxidants as Thermal Stabilizers in Post‐Consumer Polypropylene

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
A synergistic antioxidant system combining two natural antioxidants, quercetin and tocopherol, enhances the thermo‐oxidative stability of recycled polypropylene. The approach addresses key barriers to the utilization of recycled polymers, offering a sustainable pathway to improve material performance and supporting the broader adoption of recycled ...

Better Material Properties and Faster Catalyzed Chemical Recycling for Poly(L‐Lactide) Using a Simple Commercial Glycerol Ethoxylate Additive

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Glycerol ethoxylate (GEO), a branched ethylene glycol derivative, both toughens commercial PLLA and accelerates its chemical recycling to L‐lactide. The lead sample, containing 10 wt.% GEO, shows 9x higher elongation at break and 6x higher tensile toughness than pure PLLA. The GEO–PLLA samples are efficiently chemically recycled to L‐lactide, even when

Xylose Acetals ‐ a New Class of Sustainable Solvents and Their Application in Enzymatic Polycondensation

ChemSusChem, Volume 18, Issue 6, March 15, 2025.
Novel organic solvents with an unmodified carbohydrate core were synthesised both from D‐xylose and directly from biomass and were successfully used as reaction media for lipase biocatalysts to synthesise aliphatic and aromatic polyesters. Abstract The use of organic solvents in academic research and industry applications is facing increasing ...

Removal of Hydrophobic Volatile Organic Compounds in an Integrated Process Coupling Absorption and Biodegradation -- Selection of an Organic Liquid Phase [PDF]

, 2012
International audienceSince usual processes involve water as ab- sorbent, they appear not always really efficient for the treatment of hydrophobic volatile organic compound (VOC).

Nanofiber PVA‐Based Membranes Incorporating Functionalized Spanish Broom Derivatives for Sustainable Water Purification

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
This study investigates Spanish broom (Spartium junceum) as a renewable source for electrospun composite membranes in sustainable water purification. MCC and biochar were functionalized with eco‐friendly precursors and nanomaterials (i.e., HNT, β‐CDs) to develop hybrid PVA nanofiber composites.

Ferulic acid‐impregnated sodium alginate–pectin biopolymer film for active packaging and shelf‐life extension of potato chips

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND This study explores the development of active films incorporating ferulic acid (FA), a natural antioxidant, at concentrations of 0 (F1), 2.5 (F2), and 5 g L−1 (F3) into sodium alginate (SA; 13 g kg−1) and pectin (P; 10 g kg−1) matrix.

On the Mechanical and Thermal Behavior of PLA, PBAT, and PHBV‐Based Ternary Blends and the Effect of Short Flax Fibers as Reinforcing Agents

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Preparation and testing of biodegradable polymer ternary blends and composites with short flax fibres. ABSTRACT Bioplastics offer environmental benefits but they are costly and exhibit lower mechanical and thermal performance compared to fossil‐based counterparts. Poly(butylene adipate‐co‐terephthalate) (PBAT) exhibits high ductility but relatively low
