Assessing the Performance of Biopolymers as Substrates for Flexible Printed Supercapacitors Containing Liquid Electrolytes

Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2026.
The fossil‐based substrates of a printed supercapacitor containing liquid electrolytes can only be replaced with biopolymers if they have adequate permeabilities. This article studies three biopolymers based on their processability, printability, and barrier properties to find a more sustainable substrate option.

Feasibility of Recycled Polypropylene for Reusable Food Packaging: Effects of Reuse Conditions on Packaging Performance, Material Properties, and Microbial Safety

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 2, March 2026.
This study demonstrates that postindustrial recycled polypropylene (PIR PP) performs comparably to virgin polypropylene in reusable food packaging. After 20 simulated reuse cycles, including heating and commercial washing, PIR PP retained its structural, chemical, and microbial safety properties, supporting its potential for safe and sustainable ...

Geometric Optimization and Mechanical Performance Enhancement of Auxetic Structures for High‐Impact Applications Through Fused Deposition Modeling

Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 3, 4 February 2026.
This study explores the mechanical performance of three auxetic structures, identifying a re‐entrant‐star hybrid as the most effective for impact absorption. Finite element simulations and experiments demonstrate significant gains in energy absorption and flexural strength after geometric optimization. This study investigates the mechanical performance
