Long Versus Short Chain Covalent Functionalization in the Preparation of Mechanochromic Polymers

Chemistry–Methods, Volume 6, Issue 5, May 2026.
A perylene bisimide (PBI) macromechanophore featuring poly(ε‐caprolactone) (PCL) spacers was covalently incorporated into poly(styrene‐ethylene‐butylene‐styrene) (SEBS) and low‐density polyethylene (LLDPE) matrices. Compared to a short‐spacer PBI, the long‐spacer enhanced force transduction while preserving mechanical properties.

Compatibilization Mechanisms of Telechelic Polyethylene Reactive Additives in Polyethylene Terephthalate/Polyethylene Blends

Journal of Polymer Science, Volume 64, Issue 9, Page 1948-1958, 1 May 2026.
A deeper understanding of reactive blend compatibilization using hydroxy telechelic polyethylene additives in blends of glycol‐modified polyethylene terephthalate and polyethylene is developed. Preformation of copolymer during reactive mixing is key for successful compatibilization of this system at lower mixing temperatures. ABSTRACT Imperfect sorting
