Modified Breath Figure Methods for the Pore-Selective Functionalization of Honeycomb-Patterned Porous Polymer Films

Shahkar Falak et al.

Summary: Recent developments in the breath figure (BF) method have renewed interest in the pore-selective functionalization of honeycomb-patterned (HCP) films. The selective functionalization of the HCP film with pores gives unique properties for specific applications such as protein recognition, catalysis, cell culturing, and drug delivery. This review focuses on the modified BF method for pore-selective functionalization of HCP films, examining its importance, applications, limitations, and future perspectives.

Sustainable Fatty Acid Modification of Cellulose in a CO2-Based Switchable Solvent and Subsequent Thiol-Ene Modification

Eren Esen et al.

Summary: The study introduced a sustainable synthesis method for fatty acid cellulose esters, showcasing how varying reaction parameters led to the generation of different substitution degrees. The modification process through thiol-ene reaction further allowed for the tuning of structure and properties of the cellulose derivatives. Mechanical testing of films produced from the samples revealed that the DS and thiol type used for modification impacted the materials' performance. Additionally, contact angle measurements indicated an increase in surface hydrophobicity for the thiol-ene-modified samples.

Respirometry and Cell Viability Studies for Sustainable Polyesters and Their Hydrolysis Products

Louis Reisman et al.

Summary: Significant research effort has been focused on the development of sustainable plastics that are high-performance, biodegradable, and non-toxic. This study demonstrates the low cytotoxicity and degradability of poly(-methyl-ε-caprolactone) (PMCL) materials under industrial composting conditions. The findings suggest that these materials could be a promising solution to plastic pollution, with high levels of carbon mineralization achieved over a 120-day period.
