Packaging of Macroscopic Material Payloads: Needs, Challenges, Concepts, and Future Directions
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.This review introduces a unified framework that decomposes any macroscopic packaging system into the payload, packaging material, and packaging strategy and combines them into a conceptual packaging equation: packaging strategy = payload + packaging material.

Handbook of Establishing and Maintaining Oxygen‐Free Atmospheres
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.This study presents a practical framework for creating oxygen‐free atmospheres at ambient pressure using silane‐doped inert gases. The results show that ultra‐low oxygen levels and strongly reduced water content can be achieved through controlled silane dosing, drying systems, and sensor monitoring.
