Impact of Seasonal Composition on the Long‐Term Performance of Post‐Consumer Recycled Polypropylene

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Ten batches of post‐consumer polypropylene recyclate were examined over a period of 15 months. Despite identical MFR and density specifications, there were significant differences in their composition, affecting mechanical performance. Elongation at break and crack resistance varied particularly strongly.

Polydopamine‐Mediated Grafting of Cationic Polymer Brushes for Adsorption of Fluorinated Compounds

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
We introduce a versatile approach to fabricate tunable charged interfaces by functionalizing stonewool fibers with a polydopamine (PDA)–quaternary amine coating via a grafting‐to method. The modified surfaces exhibit rapid, concentration‐dependent adsorption of anionic species driven by electrostatic interactions.
