Data‐Driven Review on Aerogels and Polymeric Aerogels
Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Accepted Article.Thoroughly data‐driven review on chemistry–properties–applications of aerogels is provided. Aerogel is a category of solid materials having homogeneous, highly porous nanostructures. Unique physicochemical properties of aerogels have attracted much attention in wide fields due to their potentials for energy/environmental issues in the 21st century ...

Chitosan‐Silanized Hexagonal Boron Nitride Nanocomposite Films and Properties
Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In this study, chitosan‐silanized hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) nanocomposite films were developed using the solution casting method. Unlike chitosan‐hBN studies, silanization of hBN with Vinyl trimethoxy silane (VTS) formed hydrogen bonds. In the swelling ratio, an improvement of 18.6% was observed with the addition of hBN compared to pure ...

Dielectric Relaxation Phenomena of Polylactic Acid with 𝜷-Crystalline Chitin
International Journal of Polymer Science, 2012 𝛽-crystalline chitin was added to polylactic acid (PLA), and this PLA was then heat-treated at 100∘C for one minute. The crystallinity of the heat-treated PLA increased to more than 40%, and its crystallization speed also increased significantly.

ACS Sustainable Chemistry and Engineering, 2019 An isolation method with mild mechanical agitation and no acidic extraction step from a mushroom substrate resulted in chitin nanofibers (ChNFs) with large shares of retained glucans (50–65%). The subsequent chitin nanopapers exhibited exceptionally high

Recent Advances in PBAT (Nano) Composite Materials for Food Packaging: A Comprehensive Review
Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.Poly(butylene adipate‐co‐terephthalate) (PBAT) is the most commonly used plastic. PBAT‐based (nano) composites provide a lot of potential as food wrapping. The preparation of plastics based on PBAT composites is described. PBAT materials' distinctive properties lead to suitability for application in food packaging.
