DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2502613122
Abstract: Significance Recycled plastics are key for circular economies, yet their widespread adoption is limited by unpredictable mechanical performance. This variability discourages their adoption, particularly in demanding applications with tight specifications. Inspired by natural materials like… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/polym14245390
Abstract: Due to a very low mixing entropy, most of the polymer pairs are immiscible. As a result, mixing polymers of different natures in a typical mechanical recycling process leads to materials with multiple interfaces and… read more here.
