The plasticisation model of dye diffusion: Part 10

Coloration Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract The Flory–Fox and Gordon–Taylor models were used to predict the extent to which sorbed water reduces the glass transition temperature of poly(ethylene terephthalate) yarn as a function of moisture regain. The extent of water‐induced plasticisation predicted by the Flory–Fox equation concurs with average values of plasticisation reported for ...

Crystal structure and biochemical analysis of the polyester‐degrading carboxylesterase SM0281 from the symbiotic legume‐associated rhizobacterium Sinorhizobium (Ensifer) meliloti

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The microbial degradation of synthetic polyesters such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is mediated by diverse α/β‐hydrolases, many of which remain poorly characterized. In this study, we investigated the α/β‐hydrolase SM0281 from Sinorhizobium meliloti and found that it exhibits robust carboxylesterase and polyesterase activities toward PET, PCL ...

Biomass‐Derived Laser‐Induced Graphene: From Precursor Chemistry to Device Integration

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Laser direct writing provides a mask‐free route for converting suitable carbon‐containing precursors into patterned, porous, and conductive laser‐induced graphene (LIG) networks. Although LIG was initially demonstrated mainly using aromatic synthetic polymers, such as polyimide, biomass precursors introduce renewable feedstocks with highly ...
