Low‐Frequency Raman Spectroscopy of Polymers
Recent advances have made low‐frequency Raman spectroscopy accessible to the wider scientific community. This review discusses how low‐frequency Raman is particularly useful for researchers investigating polymers because the technique can help determine both the local and long‐range structure of materials, their thermodynamic properties, and their ...

Flow-enhanced nucleation of poly(1-butene) : model application to short-term and continuous shear and extensional flow [PDF]
A modeling framework for flow-enhanced nucleation of polymers is applied to a broad set of data from literature. Creation of flow-induced pointlike nuclei is coupled to chain stretch of the high-molecular weight tail of the material, calculated with a ...

Melt Processing of Cellulose Acetate for Controlled Release Applications – A Review
This review presents recent developments in the melt‐processing of cellulose acetate (CA). Factors affecting the processability, biodegradability, and mechanical performance of CA are also summarized. Plasticizers, bio‐based polymers (PLA, PBAT & PHBV), and clay nanoparticles are also examined toward enhancing the melt processability and mechanical ...

Imino‐Pyrrole Zn(II) Complexes for the Rapid and Selective Chemical Recycling of Commodity Polymers
Three imino‐pyrrole zinc (II) catalysts were prepared and applied to the chemical recycling of PLA, PET, and BPA‐PC. Rapid PLA degradation was accomplished in solution and under solvent‐free conditions, the latter giving full conversion at relatively mild temperatures after 11 min.
