Conjugated polymers are promising for compact energy storage and actuation devices though it is challenging to balance these properties. Here the authors report a polymer system suppressing ion hydration for a multifunctional microdevice.

The utilization of waste tires in combination with biodegradable polymers offers an innovative approach to sustainable material production. This strategy provides significant advantages in both environmental sustainability and functional performance. In this study, it was aimed to manufacture and characterize novel biocomposites based on the biopolymer polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) reinforced with carbonized materials obtained by pyrolysis…

In this study, the authors present a user-friendly, single-pot mechanochemical defluorination approach for fluorine transfer from per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances to organic molecules.

In this Review, Aimo and colleagues provide an overview of the effects of microplastics and nanoplastics (MNPs) on cardiovascular health and evaluate the potential mechanisms linking MNPs to cardiovascular disease, including inflammation, oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction.
