Performance Evaluation of Compression‐Molded Recycled Mixed Plastic Fractions From Light Packaging

open access: yesPolymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
Mixed HDPE/PP bottle‐cap waste was successfully processed through closed‐loop mechanical recycling. The recycled blends maintained stable thermal, rheological, and mechanical performance over multiple cycles, demonstrating the feasibility of valorizing heterogeneous polyolefin waste without advanced polymer separation.

Robust β‐myrcene block copolymer elastomeric vitrimers

open access: yesPolymer International, EarlyView.
Myrcene‐based vitrimeric elastomers were compared: statistical (poly(styrene‐stat‐myrcene‐stat‐AAEMA)] versus ‘hard–soft’ diblock (poly(styrene)‐block‐poly(myrcene‐co‐AAEMA)). The diblock's ability to anchor the glassy poly(styrene) blocks in a self‐assembled microstructure was effective – leading to four times higher tensile stress and ten times ...

Performance improvement of carbon fiber‐reinforced ABS composites by introducing fullerene nanoparticles

open access: yesPolymer International, EarlyView.
Fullerene particles were incorporated with CF‐reinforced acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene terpolymer (ABS) matrix at three different compositions by a melt‐compounding process. These insights are crucial for the optimization of conductive hybrid composites for various applications.

Shingle Interconnection Reliability of PERC and Thin HJT Cells for Low Earth Orbit Applications

open access: yesProgress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications, EarlyView.
Evolution of maximum power output (Pmax$$ {}_m ax $$) of PERC and thin HJT shingled cells with the Electrically Conductive Adhesives (ECA) “S” and “A” exposed to +120°C/−$$ - $$120°C thermal cycles up to 5×103$$ 5\times 1{0}^3 $$ times. Losses are induced by an increased series resistance with all cell technologies and ECA. Imaging (electroluminescence

Identifying Suitable Front Contacts for High‐Efficiency Cd(Se,Te) Solar Cells on Space‐Qualified Cover Glass

open access: yesProgress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications, EarlyView.
Front contact selection governs interfacial stability in CdTe‐based (Cd(Se,Te)) solar cells on ultra‐thin space‐qualified cover glass. Optimized TCO/emitter combinations suppress interdiffusion and deliver up to 16.2% AM0 efficiency with high specific power, demonstrating strong potential for lightweight space photovoltaics.

Conjugated Polymers Engineered for Flexible/Stretchable Electronics

open access: yesJournal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
This review highlights glass transition temperature (Tg) as the central parameter linking molecular structure to device performance in conjugated polymers. By tuning backbone rigidity, side‐chain architecture, and dynamic bonding, Tg governs the balance between π–π stacking–enabled charge transport and mechanical compliance.

Curing Behavior and Structure Reactivity‐Property Relationships in Epoxidized Linseed Oil Thermosets Crosslinked With Biobased Eutectic Hardeners

open access: yesJournal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
The curing of epoxidized linseed oil with citric, tartaric, and malic acid–based eutectic hardeners is compared to reveal how acid functionality, hydroxyl content, and molecular geometry govern activation energy, reaction rates, and network rigidity.

Inter‐Crystal Spacing of Implantable Polymeric Surfaces as a Key Suppressor of Microbial Adhesion.

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Biofilm formation on implantable devices is addressed by controlling inter‐crystal spacing in shape memory polymers. Repeated shape recovery aligns and enlarges crystalline phases and reduces amorphous regions, enhancing bacterial repellency. Three biofilm‐forming bacteria show reduced adhesion, and a one‐year dog bile‐duct model maintains function ...
