Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.Glycerol ethoxylate (GEO), a branched ethylene glycol derivative, both toughens commercial PLLA and accelerates its chemical recycling to L‐lactide. The lead sample, containing 10 wt.% GEO, shows 9x higher elongation at break and 6x higher tensile toughness than pure PLLA. The GEO–PLLA samples are efficiently chemically recycled to L‐lactide, even when

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.

3D Polymeric Nanonetworks: From Self‐Assembly to Advanced Fabrication
Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.This review provides the first systematic cross‐method comparison of fabrication techniques for 3D polymeric nanonetworks. It evaluates five key strategies—block copolymer self‐assembly, hyper‐crosslinking, template‐assisted methods, 3D printing, and nanolithography—across critical metrics including resolution, throughput, scalability, and material ...

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.Mono‐ and bivalent‐, alanine‐modified poly‐iso‐butylenes, folding into beta‐sheets, were prepared by living carbocationic polymerization and subsequent endgroup modification. These PIB‐conjugates are useful as solid polymers for the drug release of triamcinolone and nimodipine. ABSTRACT Poly‐iso‐butylene (PIB) is a well known biocompatible polymer with

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.Enhanced impact strength in PLLA‐based composites via ε‐caprolactone incorporation in the matrix. ABSTRACT Inherent brittleness and limited toughness of polylactide (PLA) restrict its use in high‐performance applications. To overcome these limitations, poly(L‐lactide) (PLLA) is often blended with more ductile thermoplastics or chemically modified ...
