Abstract Despite groundbreaking advances in the additive manufacturing of polymers, metals, and ceramics, scaled accurate production structured carbons remains largely underdeveloped. This work reports a simple method to produce complex carbon materials with very low dimensional shrinkage from printed carbonized state (less than 4%), using commercially available polypropylene precursors fused filament fabrication-based process. The control macrostructural retention is enabled by inclusion...

Abstract Mixed plastic waste recycling represents a significant challenge as the phase separation of different components dictates downgraded performance. Polymer‐based compatibilizers can offer promising solution to address this issue, through effectively reducing surface tension and increasing interfacial strength between distinct result in improved mechanical thermal properties recycled products. This perspective provides an overview fundamental concepts for rational design copolymer...

Polylactic acid (PLA) is a biodegradable alternative to petroleum-based polymers for improving environmental sustainability of our society. However, the limited degradation rate and conditions PLA-based products remain significant challenges their broader use in various applications. While Proteinase K (Pro K) from Tritirachium album has been demonstrated efficiently degrade PLA, its autocatalytic function composite films underexplored. Here, this work reports strategy that encapsulates Pro...

A helical coil designed to passively generate non-axisymmetric fields during a plasma disruption is shown (via electromagnetic analysis, linear MHD modeling, and relativistic drift orbit tracing) be effective at deconfining runaway electrons (REs) on time scale significantly faster than the current quench. Magnetic equilibria from DIII-D RE-producing scenarios are used calculate toroidal electric field generated quench phase of disruption, which in turn drives proposed n = 1 in-vessel coil,...
