Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.This work focuses on the use of perylene diimide (PDI) in the main polymeric chain of poly(arylene ether)s. It attempts to unlock the emission of PDI by randomly distributing it along the main chain to avoid quenching. This is a strategy that can be incorporated toward developing materials for the active layer of Polymeric Light Emitting Diodes (PLEDs).

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.This study investigated how successive injection molding recycling affects the properties of poly(lactic acid) (PLA). Gel permeation chromatography showed a two‐thirds molar mass reduction after ten reprocessing cycles. Differential scanning calorimetry revealed lower glass transition and cold crystallization temperatures.

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.A novel, structurally colored and pH‐responsive filament for FDM 3D‐printing is presented, which is based on tailored core–shell particles with methacrylic acid as a comonomer in the particle shell. The pH‐responsiveness of the printed objects is achieved due to particle swelling in alkaline conditions.
