Aggregation‐induced enhanced emission for quantification of recycled content in automotive plastics

open access: yesPolymer International, EarlyView.
Quantifying recycled content in four automotive plastics using aggregation‐induced enhanced emission showed that performance was highly dependent on both polymer and additive chemistries. Abstract The use of plastics in the automotive industry is increasing due to their versatility, light weight and affordability.

Biosurfactant production by Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from mining waste: From genomic analysis to development of a polymeric composite for removal of hexavalent chromium

open access: yesPolymer International, EarlyView.
Biosurfactant was produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa using andiroba waste from Amazonia. A biosurfactant–alginate composite (Alg/BioS) was successfully synthesized via ionotropic gelation, and achieved up to 70% Cr6+ removal from water. Abstract Environmental contamination by heavy metals represents a significant challenge due to their persistence in ...
