Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 36, September 20, 2026.The abstract explains the impact of various concentrations of chitosan on PBAT composite. Indeed, the composite is produced at increasing concentrations of chitosan (10%, 20%, and 30%). The decrease in the tensile strength with increased conc. of chitosan was recorded. Furthermore, the same impact was recorded for TGA analysis.

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, Volume 311, Issue 8, August 2026.Chain extender concentration strongly influence the batch foaming behavior of PA 12 under supercritical CO2. Increasing CE content improves melt stability, raises viscosity and broadens the foaming window, enabling fine, uniform cellular structures. The optimal 0.5 wt.% CE yields the highest nucleation density and lowest foam density, about 0.06–0.09 g/
