Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 11, March 15, 2026.This study explores scalable methods of incorporating graphene nanoplatelets into SBR latex with or without a surfactant, using either powder or a masterbatch. Results show that combining a masterbatch with the surfactant DTAB improves vulcanization speed, mechanical strength, hardness, thermal conductivity, and resistance to aging.

Microplastics from Wearable Bioelectronic Devices: Sources, Risks, and Sustainable Solutions
Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 20, 9 March 2026.Bioelectronic devices (e.g., e‐skins) heavily rely on polymers that at the end of their life cycle will generate microplastics. For research, a holistic approach to viewing the full impact of such devices cannot be overlooked. The potential for devices as sources for microplastics is raised, with mitigation strategies surrounding polysaccharide and ...
