Additive Manufacturing and Characterization of Polystyrene for Thermal Insulation Applications

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, Volume 311, Issue 4, April 2026.
Material Extrusion Additive Manufacturing (MEAM) is proposed to fabricate custom atactic Polystyrene (aPS) panels for thermal insulation. By controlling the internal octahedral lattice structure, the optimized process enables the production of parts with a thermal conductivity of 0.03 W/(mK).

Neutral‐pH Electropolymerization of Aniline on Hierarchically Porous Laser‐Induced Graphene Electrodes for Dual Biosensing

Advanced Materials Technologies, Volume 11, Issue 5, 6 March 2026.
Neutral‐pH electropolymerization of aniline on laser‐induced graphene (LIG) produces stable, brush‐like polyaniline coatings without requiring acidic conditions. The resulting PANI–LIG electrodes exhibit enhanced electroactive surface area, efficient charge transfer, and dual sensing capability for β‐blockers and pH, providing a scalable platform ...
