Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.This study compares the stretching structural evolution of two iPPs with distinct isotacticities. Deformation from spherulite to fibrillar crystal induces rapid thickening of lamellae (Lc), reduction in amorphous thickness (La), and transverse dimension (Lh).

Interfacial Energy and Composition Controlled Self‐Stratification in Polyurethane Coatings
Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.This study elucidates self‐stratification in polyurethane coatings driven by interfacial energies and composition‐dependent phase separation. Using XPS, SIMS, and Raman analyses, we reveal rapid formation of hydrophobic and hydrophilic layers and substrate‐dependent interfacial structures.

Experimental Study on Polymer–Polymer Interfacial Thermal Resistance
Macromolecular Theory and Simulations, Volume 34, Issue 2, March 2025.Interfacial thermal resistance (ITR) in polymer–polymer interfaces is experimentally measured in this paper by the multi‐layered bulk sample approach. Based on numerical simulation and experimental verification, new techniques of layer‐overlapping samples are developed.

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.Comparison of experimental and model‐predicted erosion rates for carbon fibre‐reinforced polymer (CFRP) and glass fibre‐reinforced polymer (GFRP) under low‐velocity (2 m/s) and at varying angles and sand concentrations (0.0, 0.05, 0.4 g/L). The results demonstrate good agreement between experimental data and model predictions across different erosive ...
