Chemoselective Sequential Polymerization: An Approach Toward Mixed Plastic Waste Recycling
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Inspired by biological protein metabolism, this study demonstrates the closed‐loop recycling of mixed synthetic polymers via ring‐closing depolymerization followed by a chemoselective sequential polymerizations process. The approach recovers pure polymers from mixed feedstocks, even in multilayer formats, highlighting a promising strategy to overcome a

Robust and Reversible Thermofluorescence in Solvent‐Free Thermoplastic Polyurethane Composites
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Thermofluorescent polymer composites with high‐contrast optical outputs are prepared by solvent‐free blending of indenoquinacridone dye into a thermoplastic polyurethane matrix. The temperature‐dependent fluorescence originates from aggregation–dissociation of the dye molecules, regulated by competing hydrogen bonds from the polymer matrix.
