Modeling the Melt Spinning of Polyethylene Terephthalate
A model is formulated to describe quantitatively the melt spinning of a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) within the low range of take up velocities. The rheology of the polymer melt is described with the Phan-Thien and Tanner constitutive equation for the stress tensor by considering both the instantaneous and retarded elastic responses.

The effect of the compatibilizer SEBS-g-GMA on the blend PP-PET: virgin and recycled materials [PDF]
. In the carpet industry poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) and poly(propylene) (PP) are often used together within a single product. Mechanical recycling of these carpets results in a blend of PET and PP, which are immiscible. To enhance impact strength

Flexible Leaf‐Like Fuel Cell From Plasmonic Janus Nanosheet
A flexible leaf‐like fuel cell is fabricated by conductive gold nanowire sponge‐supported plasmonic Janus nanosheet, which can generate a power of 8.93 mW cm⁻2 with less than 10% performance deterioration even being bent or twisted. Further assembly in a tree‐like layout demonstrates omnidirectional light harvesting capability and wind resistance ...

This work presents π–conjugated polymers based on dihydropyrazine (DHP) and ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT), developed to produce highly conductive, flexible films for printed electronics. By optimizing the DHP and EDOT ratio, strong and compact π–π stacking is achieved, resulting in polymer films with conductivities up to 1700 S cm−1 under ambient ...
