Reprocessable Vitrimers From Post‐Consumer Polyolefin Blends: Elucidating Phase‐Selective Dynamic Networks

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, Volume 47, Issue 17, 4 September 2026.
Reactive melt extrusion utilizing nitroxide‐mediated silyl ether chemistry transforms post‐consumer high‐density polyethylene and polypropylene blends into robust vitrimers. Featuring highly phase‐selective crosslinking, these upcycled materials combine thermoset‐like dimensional stability at elevated temperatures with dynamic melt‐reprocessability ...

Beyond Descriptor‐Based AI Design: Sp2‐Hybridized Branched Side Chains Enable Pre‐Aggregation–Driven Seeding Effects in Green‐Solvent‐Processed Organic Solar Cells

Advanced Energy Materials, Volume 16, Issue 26, 8 July 2026.
sp2‐hybridized branched side chains are introduced as a new molecular design for NFAs, YBOV, inducing strong solution‐state pre‐aggregation. This pre‐aggregation enables universal seeding motifs, highly ordered film growth, and overcoming the intrinsic current–voltage trade‐off, achieving 19.67% efficiency via green‐solvent processing beyond descriptor‐

Unveiling the Adsorption Mechanism of 17β‐Estradiol and 17α‐Ethinylestradiol on ZIF‐8 Via DFT Analysis

ChemistrySelect, Volume 11, Issue 26, 10 July 2026.
Molecular modeling reveals how ZIF‐8 captures 17β‐estradiol and 17α‐ethinylestradiol through noncovalent interactions. DFT, NCI, and QTAIM analyses provide mechanistic insights into adsorption and support the potential application of ZIF‐8 for endocrine‐disruptor removal from water.
