Applications of Textile Waste as Reinforcement in Fiber‐Reinforced Polymer Composites for Circularity—A Review

open access: yesMacromolecular Materials and Engineering, Volume 311, Issue 8, August 2026.
This review highlights the utilisation of textile waste in fibre‐reinforced polymer composites to reduce environmental impacts of pre‐ and post‐consumer textile waste. It critically examines waste composites’ manufacturing processes, their structural details, mechanical, thermal, physical properties, while discussing chemical treatments, hybridization ...

Study of the Biodegradation Properties of Amorphous Blends of Poly(Lactic Acid) and Poly(3‐Hydroxybutyrate‐co‐4‐Hydroxybutyrate) Foamed With Supercritical CO2

open access: yesMacromolecular Materials and Engineering, Volume 311, Issue 8, August 2026.
Supercritical CO2 foaming of fully amorphous PLA/PHA blends produced low‐density closed‐cell foams with fine cellular morphology. Blending with PHA enhanced biodegradation under simulated home‐composting conditions, achieving up to 84% mass loss after 4 months, whereas marine degradation remained limited and was mainly restricted to the PHA component ...

Use of Hexagonal Boron Nitride as Reinforcing Agent for Polyamide 11 and the Effect of Surface Treatment with Aminosilane

open access: yesMacromolecular Materials and Engineering, Volume 311, Issue 8, August 2026.
APTES treatment improves filler‐matrix adhesion and mechanical performance in PA11/h‐BN composites, while thermal conductivity gains are mainly governed by h‐BN loading and platelet orientation. Pa11/hBN composites are a sustainable solution for high‐performance electronic and thermal‐management applications. ABSTRACT In this work, the incorporation of

Solvent‐Free Fabrication of Eco‐Friendly pH‐Sensitive Smart Films From Poly(Butylene Succinate) and Red Cabbage Anthocyanin for Tracking of Chicken Breast Spoilage

open access: yesPolymer Engineering &Science, Volume 66, Issue 8, Page 5582-5595, August 2026.
Smart label design. ABSTRACT The growing interest to ensure food safety requires the development of smart indicator systems that are capable of real‐time tracking of spoilage, particularly for perishable foods. Therefore, the purpose of this work is to fabricate eco‐friendly, industrially viable pH‐sensitive smart films via solvent‐free melt ...

Effect of Radical Initiators on the Rheological Properties and Toughness of Poly(Lactic Acid)/Poly(3‐Hydroxybutyrate‐Co‐4‐Hydroxybutyrate) Blends

open access: yesPolymer Engineering &Science, Volume 66, Issue 8, Page 5974-5987, August 2026.
Effect of mixing protocol on the size distribution of PHA domains in the PLA matrix. ABSTRACT In this study, poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate‐co‐4‐hydroxybutyrate) [P(3HB‐4HB), a type of polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA)], were melt‐blended at an 80/20 (wt/wt) ratio, and radical initiators were employed as reactive compatibilizers to enhance

Poly‐Ether‐Ether‐Ketone Melt Behavior in Fused Deposit Modeling Printing Moves

open access: yesPolymer Engineering &Science, Volume 66, Issue 8, Page 5998-6008, August 2026.
A thin solidified layer forms at the print bed during FDM of PEEK, reducing the effective shear height and raising the effective shear rate above the nominal value. Surface defects emerge once the effective shear rate exceeds a critical value of approximately 750 s−1.
