Photo‐Switchable Molecular Module Programming PET Biodegradation in Aquatic Environments
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.We address the plastic durability paradox by integrating an itaconic acid–derived pyrrolidone module into polymer backbones. Sunlight in water triggers Norrish Type I ring‐opening and hydrophilization, enabling rapid biodegradation into nontoxic minerals.

An oriented-design simplified model for the efficiency of a flat plate solar air collector [PDF]
, 2010 In systems design, suitably adapted physical models are required. Different modelling approaches for a solar air collector were studied in this paper. First, a classical model was produced, based on a linearization of the conservation of energy equations.
