Achieving a circular plastics economy depends strongly on effective plastic recycling. Mechanical recycling of post-consumer plastic waste plays a predominant role in this context. However, odors and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) present challenges for the recycling industry and threaten the quality and circularity of recycled plastics. One approach to tackle odor contamina…

The microstructure develops very rapidly in biaxially stretched PET above Tg and exhibits significant variability under supposedly identical processing conditions. As a result, the deterministic prediction of the induced properties appears unlikely to succeed unless a probabilistic approach is considered. Based on a series of free-blown bottles, the induced microstructures are …

ABSTRACT The transition to PVC/DEHP-free blood bags is imperative due to the health and environmental risks associated with DEHP leaching. This study evaluates the styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene/polypropylene (SEBS/PP) polymer blend as a potential alternative to PVC blood bags. Surface physico-chemical analyses using FESEM and AFM revealed that SEBS/PP exhibited higher surfa…

The epoxy–anhydride vitrimer system catalyzed by 1,5,7-triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene (TBD) offers a sustainable alternative to conventional epoxy resins used in dry-type transformers, substantially reducing environmental pollution and material wastage caused by their non-recyclable nature. However, achieving the desired dynamic reversibility generally requires a high catalyst c…

Star-shaped polystyrene- b -poly(ethylene- co -butylene)- b -polystyrene (SEBS) elastomers are advanced thermoplastic elastomers that have attracted increasing attention for engineering applications due to their superior compression resistance, wear resistance, and oil retention compared with linear architectures. In this work, the effects of extender oil composition on the mic…

Mechanical recycling of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) is viable only if the polymer retains adequate thermal and oxidative stability after ageing and remelting. This study assesses whether three natural-origin modifiers, ultrafine cellulose, hesperidin and ground clove, can preserve the residual thermo-oxidative stability and the aerobic biodegradability of PLA subjected to a combine…

Reliable detection of biodegradable microplastics (MPs) in soil remains analytically challenging due to the complexity of terrestrial matrices and the limited specificity of conventional fluorescence approaches. Here, a selective dual-staining workflow is presented for the detection and quantification of biodegradable polyester MPs in soil, including polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA)…

This study investigates the influence of three key 3D printing parameters—raster angle, nozzle diameter, and layer height—on the fracture behavior of 3D-printed high-impact polystyrene (HIPS) using the essential work of fracture (EWF) method. Material extrusion (MEX) is a cost-effective and widely accessible additive manufacturing technique for producing polymer components with…

Natural rubber (NR) suffers from intrinsically low thermal conductivity and poor heat dissipation, which can be mitigated by constructing efficient heat transfer pathways using highly thermally conductive fillers. In this work, a three-dimensional thermally conductive network was developed within the NR matrix by synergistically incorporating polydopamine (PDA) and silane coupl…
