Photo‐Switchable Molecular Module Programming PET Biodegradation in Aquatic Environments
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.We address the plastic durability paradox by integrating an itaconic acid–derived pyrrolidone module into polymer backbones. Sunlight in water triggers Norrish Type I ring‐opening and hydrophilization, enabling rapid biodegradation into nontoxic minerals.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This study presents a magneto‐mechanical strategy that incorporates FP@MSCs into an aligned PCL/GelMA nerve guidance conduit. Magnetic stimulation increases membrane tension in FP@MSCs, triggering cytoskeletal remodeling, Schwann cell‐like differentiation, and TIMP1 secretion. TIMP1 activates ITGB1/CD63–FAK signaling in NE‐4C cells, increasing membrane

Effects of amorphous nylon on the properties of nylon 6
Polymer Testing, 1997 In this work, the effects of adding small amounts of amorphous nylon (a-nylon) on the properties of nylon 6 have been studied. Blends were prepared in a twin extruder (Brabender). The compositions of a-nylon were varied from 0 to 20 phr. Rheological, thermal, mechanical, and dynamic mechanical properties of the blends were examined using a capillary ...
