Catalytic High‐Speed Reactive Extrusion for Polyethylene Mechanochemical Upcycling
Twin screw extrusion at high speeds is a mechanochemical strategy for polyethylene recycling that takes advantage of high shear rates and intimate mixing with catalyst to induce structural transformations. This process intensification approach can lower the thermal energy requirements of chemical recycling, contributing to more economically viable and ...

Parylene Capping for Prolonged Stability of Perovskite Solar Cells
Preventing moisture ingress into perovskite solar cells is key for prolonging their long‐term stability. We show that Parylene is an efficient water and moisture barrier and that protecting perovskite solar cells with a 5 μm layer significantly improves their long‐term operational stability, in the best case by threefold. The effect of Parylene capping

Argon Cold Plasma Modification of Polyethylene Films to Tailor Surface and Barrier Properties
Argon cold plasma treatment of low‐density polyethylene (LDPE) and high‐density polyethylene (HDPE) films induces major changes in surface chemistry and morphology. Contact angles decrease significantly while surface energy increases, improving wettability. FTIR confirms the formation of polar functional groups, while pronounced etching, roughness, and

Impact of Seasonal Composition on the Long‐Term Performance of Post‐Consumer Recycled Polypropylene
Ten batches of post‐consumer polypropylene recyclate were examined over a period of 15 months. Despite identical MFR and density specifications, there were significant differences in their composition, affecting mechanical performance. Elongation at break and crack resistance varied particularly strongly.

Vegetable Oil–Mediated Transesterification as a Green Route to Tune Ethyl Cellulose Properties
An environmentally conscious strategy for augmenting the hydrophobicity of ethyl cellulose polymer via a transesterification reaction using renewable vegetable oil. ABSTRACT The inherent hydrophilicity of biopolymers presents significant limitations to their implementation, particularly in coating and packaging applications.
