Branching architecture characterizes numerous systems, ranging from synthetic (hyper)branched polymers and biomolecules such as lignin, amylopectin, and nucleic acids to tracheal and neuronal networks. Its ubiquity reflects the many favorable properties that arise because of it.

However, these polymers exhibit brittle failure and poor impact performance, limiting their uses for certain applications....Additionally, biodegradation testing of the neat polymers, impact modifiers, and blends (ASTM D5338, industrial composting) shows that the polymers and impact-modified blends are capable of composting fully within 120 days.

In this paper, first, the effects of four polymers, including partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM), hydrophobically modified polyacrylamide (HMPAM), surface-active polymer (SAP), and heavy oil activator (HOA), on the stability of produced water were studied, and then, the effects of the four polymers...The results of turbiscan stability index and heart-shaped structure microfluidic chip experiments showed that the four polymers can enhance the stability of oil droplets, ranked as SAP > HMPAM > HOA > HPAM....The produced water treatment results presented that these polymers weakened the performance of AE411, and the weakening result was consistent with their impact on the stability of oil droplets....The four polymers would affect the adsorption of AE411 at the oil-water interface, thus affecting its performance of reducing the strength of the oil-water interface and generating attractive force on the oil droplets.

One promising approach to enhance the sustainability of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is replacing poly-(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) with biobased polymers as binders....This study explores the potential of novel biobased polymers to replace PVDF as a binder in LFP cathodes.
