Use of Hexagonal Boron Nitride as Reinforcing Agent for Polyamide 11 and the Effect of Surface Treatment with Aminosilane

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, Volume 311, Issue 8, August 2026.
APTES treatment improves filler‐matrix adhesion and mechanical performance in PA11/h‐BN composites, while thermal conductivity gains are mainly governed by h‐BN loading and platelet orientation. Pa11/hBN composites are a sustainable solution for high‐performance electronic and thermal‐management applications. ABSTRACT In this work, the incorporation of

Papaya‐Leaf‐Assisted Fermentation for Enhanced Extraction of Cassava Peel Starch and Its Application in Biodegradable Films

Starch - Stärke, Volume 78, Issue 8, August 2026.
Papaya‐leaf‐assisted fermentation enhanced cassava‐peel starch recovery relative to fermentation without leaves and direct grinding, while lowering nitrogenous residues. Films plasticized with glycerol and acetic acid exhibited disrupted starch hydrogen bonding, loss of A‐type crystallinity, and pronounced hydrophilicity. Soil‐burial tests showed rapid,

Plastics and Bioplastics End of Life: A Biocatalytic Perspective

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 8, August 2026.
Biocatalysis links selected conventional plastics and bioplastics to biological routes for polymer transformation, product recovery and end‐of‐life management. Enzymes and microbes enable depolymerisation, upcycling and recovery of monomers, platform chemicals and new materials.

Metal‐Free, Mild, and Sustainable Synthesis of Bio‐Based Polyesters via EDC/DMAP‐Mediated Polycondensation: Structure–Property Relationships and Thermal Stability

ChemSusChem, Volume 19, Issue 14, 29 July 2026.
We developed a mild, metal‐free EDC/DMAP‐mediated polycondensation platform for bio‐based polyesters from FDCA (2,5‐furandicarboxylic acid) and succinic acid, enabling access to homopolyesters from unsaturated and aliphatic diols as well as heteropolyesters prepared by one‐pot or sequential routes.
