Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Block copolymer microcapsules with ultrathin, perpendicularly perforated membranes are developed through double emulsions, initiated by the diffusion of water into single emulsions. Both shell thickness and channel diameter can be systematically tuned, offering precision in molecular sieving and significantly enhanced permeation rates.

Chemoselective Sequential Polymerization: An Approach Toward Mixed Plastic Waste Recycling
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Inspired by biological protein metabolism, this study demonstrates the closed‐loop recycling of mixed synthetic polymers via ring‐closing depolymerization followed by a chemoselective sequential polymerizations process. The approach recovers pure polymers from mixed feedstocks, even in multilayer formats, highlighting a promising strategy to overcome a

4D Mapping of ZIF Biocomposites for High Protein Loading and Tunable Release Profiles
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Systematic four‐dimensional mapping of zeolitic imidazolate framework biocomposites reveals how precursor ratios, total concentration, and washing define crystalline phase, protein loading, and release kinetics. This comprehensive study identifies conditions yielding record loading (∼85%) and precise phase–property correlations.

Microplastics from Wearable Bioelectronic Devices: Sources, Risks, and Sustainable Solutions
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Bioelectronic devices (e.g., e‐skins) heavily rely on polymers that at the end of their life cycle will generate microplastics. For research, a holistic approach to viewing the full impact of such devices cannot be overlooked. The potential for devices as sources for microplastics is raised, with mitigation strategies surrounding polysaccharide and ...
