Polymer Composites, EarlyView.Amino‐silane treatment improves the basalt fiber–PA6 interface, enhancing composite performance. ABSTRACT Basalt fiber‐reinforced polymer (BFRP) composites have emerged as sustainable alternatives to glass fiber (GF) composites, but their performance is often controlled by the quality of the fiber–matrix adhesion.

Polymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.Ball‐milling promotes uniform POSS dispersion in the TPU matrix, markedly improving the mechanical performance of TPU‐POSS composites. ABSTRACT We synthesized TPU/POSS composites through a two‐step process involving the ball milling of POSS to reduce its particle size, followed by in situ polymerization of TPU to reinforce the material.

Statistical evaluation of nylon chemical recycling through acidolysis
Polymer International, EarlyView.Sustainable PA6 recycling through acidolysis enabled temperature‐driven depolymerization, modeled by regression analysis. Recycled products successfully replaced up to 30% monomer while preserving PA6 chemical composition or crystalline structure. Abstract This study focuses on the sustainability of plastics reporting the recycling of polyamide (PA ...

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.While botanical gardens are often perceived merely as recreational spaces for a weekend walk, in the Global South, they are true lifelines for nature and for the people who depend on it. Our research in Ethiopia explored what actually keeps these gardens running long‐term.

Polypyrrole Nanofibrous Aerogel for Pressure Sensing and Anionic Contaminant Remediation
Small, EarlyView.Nanofibrous aerogels (NFAs), highly porous ultralow‐density networks of entangled nanofibers, are conformally coated with polypyrrole (PPy) to provide a multifaceted material platform. Leveraging NFA's high surface area and mechanically robust structure with the conductive properties of PPy enables pressure‐responsive sensing for flexible electronics ...
