Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 7, February 15, 2026.Flexible riser structure, tie‐molecule arrangement, and XRD comparison of PE100, DOWLEX, and INTREPID polyethylene grades. ABSTRACT This study compares three polyethylene grades—a benchmark PE100 and two high‐temperature resistant polyethylene (PE‐RT) types (Type I and Type II)—to assess their suitability for flexible riser applications.

Sensitized Disequilibration of Water‐Soluble Azopolymers
Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 7, 9 February 2026.Disequilibration by sensitization under confinement (DESC) is a promising strategy for efficient visible‐light‐induced azobenzene E→Z isomerization. In this article, we explored key factors for adapting DESC to azopolymers, eventually achieving efficiencies up to 85% compared to direct excitation and laying the foundation for more complex systems ...

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 7, February 15, 2026.Graphene is a good protector for UV degradation of polymers. ABSTRACT Photo‐stabilization is essential for thermoplastics in outdoor applications, as it extends service life by protecting polymer chains from UV‐induced degradation. Graphene has emerged as a multifunctional stabilizer with capabilities including UV screening, barrier effects, and ...

Plasmonic Hot‐Carrier Redox Enables Proton‐Coupled Electron Transfer at C─H Bonds
Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 6, 2 February 2026.Plasmonic hot carriers provide unprecedented control over coupled electron–proton transfer, enabling visible‐light activation of strong C─H bonds. Using an energy‐filter electrode, we reveal a stepwise electron‐then‐proton pathway and directly tune the underlying driving forces.

Twist and Shine: The Impact of Halogen Substitution on Thiele Hydrocarbon's Optical Properties
Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 6, 2 February 2026.Halogenation in Thiele hydrocarbons strongly influences structure and excited‐state dynamics. Depending on substitution, “boat” folded forms show large Stokes shifts and strong solvatochromism, while planar “butterfly” derivatives exhibit near‐unity photoluminescence yields.
