Recycling of Polymer Components From Waste Face Masks for Asphalt Modification: A Mini Review

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 2, January 10, 2026.
ABSTRACT The COVID‐19 pandemic greatly increased plastic waste through widespread personal protective equipment (PPE) use, creating a serious environmental challenge. Disposable face masks (FM), primarily composed of non‐biodegradable polypropylene, account for an estimated 86 million units discarded monthly, leading to significant environmental ...

Bioinspired Wet‐Laid Electrospun Short Fiber Hybrid Networks for Aerosol Filtration

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 4, 12 January 2026.
A facile approach for fabricating flexible and mechanically robust wet‐laid hybrid fibrous networks (WHFNs) as long‐term stable air filters is reported. The resulting WHFNs exhibit high filtration efficiency (91.91% for PM1 and 100% for PM2.5), a low pressure drop (92.6 Pa), and excellent mechanical strength (7.5 MPa), making them highly promising for ...
