Unsaturated biobased polyesters from bicyclic α‐pinene‐based diols

Polymer International, EarlyView.
We present the synthesis of four biosourced unsaturated polyesters made from chiral terpene‐based diols and esters of renewable diacids. The resulting materials harbor a bicyclic pinene ring in their backbones which leads to enhanced thermal properties while still conferring susceptibility to enzyme hydrolysis for chains having a cis alkene.

High‐strength composites by thiocracking of high‐polypropylene‐content mixed waste

Polymer International, EarlyView.
Mixed plastic waste made up of polystyrene and polypropylene was reacted with elemental sulfur to give high‐strength composites. Abstract Mixed‐material municipal waste poses a persistent end‐of‐life management challenge because the heterogeneous composition limits efficient separation and recycling. After disposal, mixed‐material waste often fragments

Conjugated Polymers Engineered for Flexible/Stretchable Electronics

Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
This review highlights glass transition temperature (Tg) as the central parameter linking molecular structure to device performance in conjugated polymers. By tuning backbone rigidity, side‐chain architecture, and dynamic bonding, Tg governs the balance between π–π stacking–enabled charge transport and mechanical compliance.

Opposite Trends in Glass Transition and Vogel Temperatures in Long‐Chain Branched Poly(l‐Lactic Acid)

Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
The glass transition temperature (Tg), as determined by conventional DSC, increases from 326 K to 329 K while the Vogel temperature (Tv) decreases from 271 K to 255 K as the number of branch points per molecule increases from 0 to 3.3. ABSTRACT Poly(l‐lactic acid) (PLLA) is widely used as both a commodity thermoplastic and for engineering applications,

A study of all-polymer composites: all-poly(ethylene terephthalate) and all-poly(p-phenylene terephthalamide)

, 2009
PhDComposites are normally composed of two distinct phases: reinforcement and matrix. In recent years, a new class of “self-reinforced” polymer composites or “all-polymer” composites, which are based on similar or identical materials for both ...

Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review

VIEW, EarlyView.
Implant‐associated infections pose serious clinical challenges. Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) modifications overcome this bottleneck in distinct ways relative to traditional sterilization methods. Gas‐phase plasmas generate highly energetic species, UV radiation and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS), which alter the implant surface properties.
