Characteristics, properties and limitations of per‐ or polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) and fluoropolymers

open access: yesPolymer International, EarlyView.
An overview and categorization of man‐made per‐ or polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) including low‐molar‐mass and high‐molar‐mass fluorochemicals, and their international regulations is presented. Though certain PFASs are toxic, bioaccumulative and cross the human cellular membranes, others, such as fluoropolymers, are safe, reliable and involved in ...

Synthesis and application of alginate@CuFe2O4 polymeric spheres in 17‐β‐estradiol adsorption processes in Amazonian rivers

open access: yesPolymer International, EarlyView.
Magnetic alginate beads, functionalized with copper ferrite, effectively remove 17‐β‐estradiol from Amazonian water, exhibiting optimized 238.65 μg g−1 capacity, fast 40 min kinetics, easy recovery, and successful remediation. Abstract The presence of endocrine‐disrupting compounds, such as 17‐β‐estradiol, in aquatic ecosystems poses a significant ...

Computational design of poly(p‐phenylene vinylene)‐based gas sensors: tunable reactivity and selectivity via side‐group functionalization

open access: yesPolymer International, EarlyView.
Side‐group functionalization enhances the reactivity and optoelectronic properties of poly(p‐phenylene vinylene) (PPV) derivatives for chemical sensing. PPV‐CN and PPV‐NO2 display strong interactions and pronounced responses, providing molecular‐level insights for designing high‐performance polymer‐based sensors.

Influence of sulfonation degree and deposition technique on the electrical and morphological properties of sulfonated polystyrene thin films

open access: yesPolymer International, EarlyView.
Sulfonated polystyrene films with different degrees of sulfonation were fabricated using Langmuir–Schaefer and drop‐casting techniques. Both the deposition method and sulfonation level strongly affect film morphology and electrical response, governing the performance of these materials as ammonia gas sensors.

A walk in the park—Identifying healthy greenspaces using scents

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
As urbanisation accelerates globally, access to nature is increasingly recognised as vital for public health and wellbeing. We captured and analysed plant‐emitted airborne ‘scent signatures’ across Oxford's urban greenspaces to assess their potential health relevance.

Porous Modified Calcium Carbonate as an Efficient Carrier for Gallic and Ascorbic Acids in Humidity‐Activated Oxygen Scavenging Systems

open access: yesPackaging Technology and Science, EarlyView.
Porous modified calcium carbonate (MCC) is presented as an efficient carrier for humidity‐activated oxygen scavengers based on gallic acid and ascorbic acid. The porous MCC structure preserves high accessibility of the active compounds, enabling effective oxygen scavenging under high relative humidity, with performance governed by loading level ...
