Multi‐Property Machine Learning Models to Accelerate the Transition Toward Bio‐Based Emulsion Polymers

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
A machine learning framework simultaneously predicts four critical properties of monomers for emulsion polymerization: propagation rate constant, reactivity ratios, glass transition temperature, and water solubility. These tools can be used to systematically identify viable bio‐based monomer pairs as replacements for conventional formulations, with ...

Dicarboxymethyl Cellulose‐Based Mixed‐Matrix Membrane Adsorbers: Preparation, Characterization, and Protein Retention Performance

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Dicarboxymethyl cellulose is incorporated, for the first time, into a polyethersulfone membrane. The functional membranes are prepared using dimethyl isosorbide through combined non‐solvent and vapor‐induced phase separation. The resulting membranes exhibit porous structures and protein‐retention potential, highlighting the potential of this cellulose ...

Effect of Carboxymethyl Chitosan and Genipin on the Structural, Water Uptake, and Thermomechanical Properties of Zein‐Based Biodegradable Materials

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
The effects of carboxymethyl chitosan and genipin on zein‐based biodegradable materials have been investigated. The addition of these compounds alters the material's structure, water absorption, and thermomechanical behavior, while genipin enhances mechanical performance through the formation of polymer networks.
