Microplastics from Wearable Bioelectronic Devices: Sources, Risks, and Sustainable Solutions

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bioelectronic devices (e.g., e‐skins) heavily rely on polymers that at the end of their life cycle will generate microplastics. For research, a holistic approach to viewing the full impact of such devices cannot be overlooked. The potential for devices as sources for microplastics is raised, with mitigation strategies surrounding polysaccharide and ...

Additively Manufacturable High‐Strength Aluminum Alloys with Coarsening‐Resistant Microstructures Achieved via Rapid Solidification

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Rapid solidification in laser additive manufacturing facilitates the precipitation of metastable phases in aluminum alloys. These metastable phases significantly enhance the strength by forming a high‐volume fraction of precipitates with an order of magnitude reduced sizes and smaller interspacing, effectively impeding dislocation motion. Consequestly,
