Transforming Procurement: The Dynamic Capabilities and Microfoundations to Buy Circular

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Circular Procurement (CP) integrates Circular Economy (CE) principles into purchasing decisions to close material loops and retain value across product life cycles. Yet, its adoption remains limited due to persistent barriers within procurement processes.

Interface Engineering in Solid‐State Sodium Batteries: Advances in Materials Design, Interfacial Strategies, and Multiscale Characterization

Interdisciplinary Materials, EarlyView.
Since solid‐state sodium batteries (SSSBs) are a promising solution for advancing sodium‐based energy storage, it is necessary to systematically summarize the development process of SSSBs. It focuses on the role of interface engineering in addressing challenges such as materials design, interfacial strategies, and multiscale characterization.

Convergence of Organ‐on‐a‐Chip and Freeform Printing of Sacrificial Poly(2‐cyclopropyl‐2‐oxazoline) Enables the Generation of Perfusable Endothelialized Channels in Hydrogels

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
We employ freeform printing of thermo‐responsive poly(2‐oxazoline) to directly fabricate suspended sacrificial vascular templates within Organ‐on‐a‐chip devices. This enables circular, perfusable channels down to 200 µm without post‐processing.
