Controlled Catalysis Delivering High Molecular Weight Polyesters as Recyclable Alternatives to Polystyrenes

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 137, Issue 23, June 2, 2025.
This work exemplifies how to make high molar mass ring opening copolymerization (ROCOP) polyesters as engineering plastics, informing upon their thermal and mechanical properties. Leading polyesters, prepared by epoxide/anhydride ROCOP, show high glass transition temperatures and tensile and flexural strengths, matching or exceeding polystyrene ...

Ovarian Cell Accumulation of Model PVC Nanoplastics Labelled With CdSe‐QDs Investigated by X‐Ray Fluorescence Microscopy

X-Ray Spectrometry, Volume 54, Issue 4, Page 310-321, July/August 2025.
ABSTRACT The distribution of micro‐ and nanoplastics (MNPs) in the environment is increasingly becoming a cause of concern for human health. The small size of these particles makes them prone to accumulate not only in the tissues of various organs but also enables them to enter cells and act as carriers of external materials and microbes.

The Blueprint of the European Eel Life Cycle: Does Life‐History Strategy Undermine or Provide Hope for Population Recovery?

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 26, Issue 4, Page 505-519, July 2025.
ABSTRACT The life cycle of the European eel (Anguilla anguilla) is inherently risky because it relies on the successful migration of larvae and adults across thousands of kilometres of the Atlantic Ocean. In between these migrations, eels need to grow and develop to maximise their potential for successful reproduction.

Long‐Lasting Hydrophilicity Induced by Ultraviolet Light on Surface Modified Hydrophobic Polylactic Acid

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 142, Issue 24, June 20, 2025.
In light of increasing applications of compostable materials, surface treatment on PLA to increase roughness and hydrophobicity has been investigated. However, modifying wettability might hinder degradation. UVC exposure has significant effects on the wettability of textured PLA substrates, allowing a complete wettability switch due to chain scission ...
