The mechanism and future applications of the fabricated ultra-low H₂ barrier PVA–PA composite thin film are clarified and demonstrated.

Novel naphthalimide–sulfonate PAGs achieve record Φ_avia D–π–A design, enabling sub-30 nm EBL patterning and multi-wavelength compatibility, advancing next-gen lithography materials.

The highly stable and efficient ion-exchange resin (2-CS-DVB-SO₃H) developed through post-crosslinking and selective sulfonation achieves efficient removal of metal ions from PGMEA via synergistic mechanisms of ion exchange and coordination.

n-CARs based on aryl sulfonate ester-functionalized polystyrenes gave an impressive 18 nm L/S and 10 nm L/4S EBL patterns, highlighting the effect of substituents on the lithographic performance of the n-CARs.

The concentration of complexed Cr(III) in industrial-grade tris(2-carboxyethyl) isocyanurate can be reduced to meet semiconductor-grade standards through an adsorption–recrystallization process using electron-rich sulfonated polymers.

The key molecular design strategies for high-frequency electronic packaging combining branched topology and conjugated cores.

A fluorinated diamine was synthesized and used to design a novel polyimide, effectively reducing its dielectric constant and dissipation factor while enhancing the elongation at break.

Preparation and reprocessing of flexible soy-PUFs are implemented. Dynamic covalent chemistry enabled the facile thermal reprocessing of soy foam into sheet products under mild conditions.

Four strategies to enhance the processability of UHMWPE are explored using heterogenised metallocene catalysts to produce polymers with decreased melt viscosity and excellent mechanical performance.

In this study, we evaluated a simple and fast photografting method to introduce amidoxime groups to the surface of low-cost non-woven fabrics for uranium extraction from seawater.

The acid-, base-free exclusive depolymerization of PET with ethanol catalyzed by FeCl₃ affording DET and EG, and the selective depolymerization of PET from textile waste have been demonstrated.

Carbon nanotube-reinforced polyethylene nanocomposites have been prepared and show good anti-scaling and corrosion-resistant properties.
