pyDMS: A Python package for the determination of physics‐informed dual‐mode sorption (DMS) parameters

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Sorption in glassy polymer membranes is commonly modeled with the dual‐mode sorption (DMS) model. Fitting the DMS model to sorption isotherms presents challenges, as multiple parameter sets may prove satisfactory. This work presents pyDMS, an open‐source Python package for the computation of DMS parameters obtained via a physics‐informed ...

Heterobimetallic Janus Catalysts for the One‐Pot Synthesis of Polar‐Apolar Block Copolymers

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Heterobimetallic Janus catalysts act as bifunctional initiators, combining two distinct polymerisation mechanisms in one pot to deliver well‐defined apolar‐polar block copolymers. Combining Earth abundant Ti and Al catalysts for respective α‐olefin and lactone polymerisation, the orthogonal activity is enabled by unprecedented initiation from a Ti ...

Active‐Site Photothermal Energy Utilization in PET Depolymerization

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Photothermal catalysis enables efficient PET depolymerization, yet the role of active‐site temperature remains unclear. A catalytic activity reversal between Pd–CNG and PdPOM–CNG is observed under thermal and photothermal conditions. Efficient nanoscale photothermal energy delivery raises active‐site temperature, compensates for lower intrinsic ...

A Multistage Venturi Amplifier for Rapid Inflation of Soft Robots

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This work presents the amplifier inflator for soft robotic systems (AIRS), a compact, lightweight, and effective device for rapidly deploying inflatable structures to high pressure. By integrating a check valve with a Venturi‐based air entrainer, AIRS delivers an initial high‐flow output followed by pressurization, supporting fast inflation and ...

Titanium‐Catalyzed Defluorination of Poly(Vinyl Fluoride) and Poly(Vinylidene Fluoride) Under Friedel–Crafts Conditions

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Cationic titanium sandwich catalysts display exceptional activity in the hydrodefluorination of Csp3─F bonds, in the presence of silanes and aromatic solvents (turnover numbers up to 3000). As a result, they can be used to defluorinate challenging fluoropolymers, such as poly(vinyl fluoride) (PVF) or poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF).

A Tert‐Alkyl Terephthalate Derivative as a Universal Degradable Unit for Condensation Polymers

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A sterically bulky dicarboxylic acid core bearing a tertiary alkyl ester enables photocatalytic C─O bond cleavage via generation of a stabilized tertiary alkyl radical. Incorporated into polyarylate, polyurethane, and polyester, this universal trigger facilitates efficient degradation under identical conditions (up to 99% within 2–4 h). Remarkably, the
