Sequential blending improved the mechancial properties of PHB/PBAT/cellulose composites as compared to the one‐step batch mixing method. ABSTRACT Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is a natural and biodegradable polymer generated by bacteria. While its applications to potentially replace petroleum‐based plastics are severely limited due to its brittleness and ...

The workflow of comparing state‐of‐the‐art photopolymers in rapid tooling. ABSTRACT Additive manufacturing (AM) introduced the concept of layer‐by‐layer manufacturing, which allows the fast and direct production of parts. Additive technologies are also hybridized with conventional polymer processing technologies.

An overview and categorization of man‐made per‐ or polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) including low‐molar‐mass and high‐molar‐mass fluorochemicals, and their international regulations is presented. Though certain PFASs are toxic, bioaccumulative and cross the human cellular membranes, others, such as fluoropolymers, are safe, reliable and involved in ...

Aggregation‐induced enhanced emission for quantification of recycled content in automotive plastics
Quantifying recycled content in four automotive plastics using aggregation‐induced enhanced emission showed that performance was highly dependent on both polymer and additive chemistries. Abstract The use of plastics in the automotive industry is increasing due to their versatility, light weight and affordability.

Unsaturated biobased polyesters from bicyclic α‐pinene‐based diols
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.
