A Circular and Tacticity‐Independent Crystalline Mono‐Substituted Nylon‐6 Platform: Unexpected Large Positional Effects on Crystallizability and Performance

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 25, 15 June 2026.
Methyl substitution positions on the nylon‐6 backbone markedly affect crystallizability, thermomechanical properties, and recyclability of the resulting atactic nylon‐6 variants. While γ‐methyl substitution gives an amorphous nylon, all other four methyl‐substitution positions (α, β, δ, and ε) afford, unexpectedly, crystalline nylons, showing tacticity‐

Batteries From Reused, Recycled, and Surplus Materials

Advanced Sustainable Systems, Volume 10, Issue 7, July 2026.
Batteries can become more circular by combining reuse, direct recycling, metallurgical recovery, and material sourcing from industrial surplus streams. This Review highlights how recycled and waste‐derived metals, carbons, polymers, electrolytes, and active materials can be reintegrated into current and emerging batteries, while emphasizing design ...
