Summary: This study presents a coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulation model to investigate the process of oxidative aging in polymers. The model integrates a thermal oxidation kinetic model in the oxygen excess regime, enabling a reactive simulation to capture the process of oxidative degradation. The results show spatial heterogeneity in scission sites when the reaction scale of oxidative degradation is shorter than the relaxation time of polymer chains. This innovative model contributes to our understanding of polymer aging phenomena and degradation chemistry.

Summary: A series of PET-co-PEDDP copolyesters were prepared through direct esterification and polycondensation. The structure of the copolyesters was studied using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance. It was observed that DDP comonomer was incorporated into the polymer chain, and there was no phase separation during thermal treatment. The melting point decreased linearly with DDP content, and the best crystallization kinetics model was the Hay model considering secondary crystallization. The thermal degradation of the copolyesters was analyzed using thermal gravimetry analysis.

Summary: Plastic film mulching is a crucial agricultural technology globally, but the environmental degradation of plastic mulch films as a major source of secondary plastic pollutants, especially microplastics, is concerning. There is still a significant knowledge gap in understanding the kinetics and rate-limiting mechanisms of microplastic generation during processes driven by plastic photodegradation. This study formulated a kinetic equation to characterize the degradation, release, and accumulation of microplastics from plastic mulch films under light exposure, providing valuable insights for assessing plastic mulch lifespan and mitigating microplastic pollution.

Summary: This study reports a strategy to enhance the thermal resistance of silicone resins by introducing zirconium into the main chain. The molecular simulation shows that the introduction of zirconium atoms leads to the formation of high energy zirconium-oxygen bonds, increasing the cross-linking degree and suppressing the formation of cyclic oligomers. The results suggest that this work could provide a systemic experimental and theoretical foundation for thermal properties enhancement through metal atoms incorporation.

Summary: The main objective of kinetic studies is making predictions, such as lifetime estimations, using oversimplified equations. Recent studies have shown that random scission kinetic models are more reliable in describing the degradation kinetics for many polymers. Selecting an erroneous kinetic model can lead to significant deviations in lifetime predictions, despite fitting experimental data well in some cases.

Summary: In this study, the effect of extrinsic and intrinsic point defects on the conductivity and dielectric behavior of CCTO synthesized using the molten salt method was investigated. It was found that extrinsic defects migration caused dielectric loss at low temperatures, while long-range conduction due to intrinsic defects accumulation resulted in higher losses at high temperatures. By doping Mg into CCTO, the loss was reduced and an almost temperature-independent dielectric constant was achieved.

Summary: AC electrical measurements were conducted on iodine-doped CaCu3Ti4O12-xIx ceramic specimens. The crystalline structure, microstructure, and oxidation state of various ions were analyzed using XRD, SEM, and XPS. Dielectric relaxations in different compositions were investigated and similar charge carriers were found in conduction and relaxation processes. The XPS study revealed a reduction in [ VO center dot center dot ] concentration and an increase in [ V '' M] with increasing iodine concentration. Metal ions were found to segregate at grain boundaries, leading to increased resistivity and minimized dielectric losses. A high concentration of iodine doping promoted the formation of a barrier layer capacitor.

Summary: Flexible graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) and functionalized carbon nanofibers (FCNFs) are synthesized to enhance the electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness (EMI SE) of flexible electromagnetic shielding materials (ESMs). These materials are embedded in a polyurethane (PU) matrix to create lightweight, highly stretchable, and thin nanocomposites. The addition of GNPs to FCNF4 improves the total EMI SE (SET) value, reaching a maximum of 60.55 dB for FCNF/GNP (4/6 wt %). The nanocomposites exhibit negligible changes in EMI SE after mechanical bending and sonication in water, indicating their effectiveness in complex environmental conditions. The practical applicability of the fabricated nanocomposites in conformal devices is verified through testing at different bending radii in a waveguide. EMI shielding is also evaluated through simulation in the CST microwave studio tool, extending the analysis for broadband frequency.
