Achieving Phonon‐Glass Electron‐Crystal Behavior in Fully Organic Flexible Thermoelectrics

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
Phonon‐glass Electron‐crystal (PGEC) behavior is demonstrated in fully organic composites consisting of conductive polymers (PEDOT:PSS) and soft polymeric fillers (PVA). The optimized PEDOT:PSS–PVA composite concurrently reveals delocalized transport and thermal conductivity close to its theoretical minimum, yielding a superior thermoelectric figure of

Synthesis and Interfacial Behavior of Mixed Potassium N‐Lauroyl/N‐Myristoyl Glycinate Surfactants With Varying Alkyl Chain Ratios

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biodegradable and low‐irritant amino acid–based surfactants have attracted considerable attention as environmentally friendly alternatives to conventional petroleum‐derived surfactants. In this study, a series of acyl amino acid surfactants with identical amino acid head groups but different alkyl chain lengths were synthesized via a modified ...

Biobased Polyurethane Films Based on Andiroba (Carapa guianensis) and Buriti (Mauritia flexuosa) Oil Polyols

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Polyurethane films were prepared from andiroba (Carapa guianensis) and buriti (Mauritia flexuosa) oil‐derived polyols, emphasizing their potential as bio‐based materials. UV–Vis analysis indicates the retention of carotenoid‐related chromophoric features within the polymer matrix.
