Packaging of Macroscopic Material Payloads: Needs, Challenges, Concepts, and Future Directions

Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 9, 6 May 2026.
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.

Analysis of rheological behaviour of titanium feedstocks formulated with a water-soluble binder system for powder injection moulding [PDF]

, 2014
Binder selection and formulation are critical in powder injection moulding. Binders play a key role in controlling the rheological properties of a feedstock and influence whether the resulting feedstock can be successfully injection moulded, debound and ...

Applications of Polymers in Zinc Anode Protection for Aqueous Zinc‐Ion Batteries

Battery Energy, Volume 5, Issue 3, May 2026.
Zinc anodes suffer from dendrite growth and side reactions, severely restricting aqueous zinc‐ion battery applications. Polymers with adjustable structures and functions are widely used to protect the zinc anode. This review outlines design principles, mechanisms, and optimization strategies for polymer‐based interfacial layers and electrolytes ...

Mechanical Recycling of Biochar‐Filled Poly(lactic acid): A Study of Mechanical and Thermal Properties Supported by Meta‐Analysis

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, Volume 311, Issue 5, May 2026.
Biochar‐filled poly(lactic) acid is mechanically recyclable with acceptable property retention after one reprocessing cycle, while five cycles significantly reduce strength and ductility. Thermal transition temperatures do not change, crystallinity increases, and cold crystallization temperature decreases.

Preparation of thermoplastic starch

, 1997
Native starch and WX-starch, i.e., native starch enriched with amylopectin, were mixed with plasticizers and thermomechanically treated in a twin screw mixer in order to obtain thermoplastic starch. Ethylene glycol, propane tricl (glycerine) or poly(ethylene glycol) with a molar mass less than 1000 g/mol were used as plasticizers.
