Natural Antioxidants as Thermal Stabilizers in Post‐Consumer Polypropylene

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 28, July 20, 2026.
A synergistic antioxidant system combining two natural antioxidants, quercetin and tocopherol, enhances the thermo‐oxidative stability of recycled polypropylene. The approach addresses key barriers to the utilization of recycled polymers, offering a sustainable pathway to improve material performance and supporting the broader adoption of recycled ...

Tuning the Structure–Property Relationships in Binary and Ternary Blends of PLA/PBAT/PHBH [PDF]

While the brittle polylactide (PLA) has a high durability among bioplastics, poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) (PHBH) with certain ductility exhibits facile compostability. The addition of polybutylene adipate terephthalate (PBAT) may also be
