  1. Composite cryogel column enabled selective L-phenylalanine separation
    Composite cryogel column with molecularly imprinted microparticles achieves selective L-phenylalanine separation with 39.40 mg/g adsorption capacity and reusability.
  2. Foam filling improved the performance of SLS polymer lattices
    Study evaluates SLS polymer lattice architectures with and without polyurethane foam filling, revealing foam integration increases stiffness 40-fold and strength nearly 100% while improving energy.
  3. Hyperbranched polymers show branching-density-dependent chromatography behavior
    Hyperbranched polystyrene exhibits nonuniversal exclusion-to-adsorption transitions in chromatography, governed by branching density and fractal dimension, diverging from linear polymer behavior.
  4. ATR-FTIR distinguished major 3D-printing polymer types in forensic samples
