A New Paradigm for Understanding the Rheology and Processability of Poly(p‐Phenylene Terephthalamide) Liquid‐Crystalline Solutions

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Kevlar is traditionally modeled as a rigid‐rod polymer, yet rheological behavior deviates from this assumption. The review introduces a novel “twist‐tie” entanglement theory for aramid polymer chains in the nematic liquid crystal state, providing a molecular explanation for deviations from rigid‐rod models. Understanding twist‐tie entanglement dynamics

Evaluation of the Efficiency of a Biobased Reactive Plasticizer on the Morphology and Properties of Sustainable Flexible Films Based on Poly(Lactic Acid) (PLA) Produced by Blown Film Extrusion

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
A comparative investigation of two epoxy additives derived from cardanol (NC513 and NC514s) for production of films based on poly (lactic acid) (PLA), acetyl tributyl citrate (ATBC), and poly (butylene adipate‐co‐terephthalate) (PBAT) clarified their distinct roles, with NC513 mainly acting as a plasticizer, reducing viscosity and enhancing ductility ...

Additives Enhancing Biodegradability in Plastics and Potential Implications for Textiles: A Mechanistic Review

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Mechanistic insights from additive‐assisted plastic degradation guide the design of environmentally adaptive textile fibers. Functional additives enhance oxidative, hydrolytic, enzymatic, and microbial degradation pathways. Translating these strategies requires control of fiber architecture, additive distribution, and environmental interactions ...

From brush conformation to 3D Supraparticles: Programmable self‐assembly of polymer‐grafted nanoparticles in emulsion confinement

Bulletin of the Korean Chemical Society, EarlyView.
This review highlights how the conformational adaptability of polymer‐grafted nanoparticles drives their programmable self‐assembly within 3D emulsion droplets. By coupling brush thermodynamics with soft confinement, these dynamic building blocks form hierarchical supraparticles tailored for advanced plasmonics, compartmentalized catalysis, and stimuli‐

Maize Kernel Composition and Morphology Influences Pericarp Retention During Nixtamalization

Cereal Chemistry, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Objectives Pericarp retention during nixtamalization directly influences masa quality, affecting texture, machinability, and nutritional content of staple foods such as tortillas and chips. Despite its industrial relevance, the underlying kernel traits that govern pericarp retention remain poorly characterized.

High‐Performance Solid‐State Lithium Batteries via Dipole‐Matching: Enabling Compact Polymer Microstructure and Stable Interfaces

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
A dipole–matching strategy is proposed to engineer PVDF‐HFP solid polymer electrolytes by incorporating 3,5–bis(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid. Dipole interactions regulate polymer nucleation and phase alignment, forming compact microstructures, while controlled FSI– decomposition induces a LiF–rich interphase, enabling fast Li+ transport, uniform ...

Intrinsically Ultrahigh‐Rate Charging Capability of Conversion Reaction Cathodes and Its Origin: A Mechanism Study on FeS2

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
Origin of the ultrahigh‐rate charge capability of FeS2: FeS2 demonstrates exceptional high‐rate charging capability, delivering 92% capacity retention at 10 C and maintaining as much as 60% capacity retention even at 30 C. This originates from an ultrahigh apparent diffusion coefficient involving both Li+ and Fe2+.
