Description
Summary:A materials engineering strategy that combines a breakthrough development in renewable polymer synthesis with an advancement in petroleum‐derived plastics recycling is reported by K. Hearon and co‐workers on page 1552: polymeric nanocomposites composed of a naturally derived rubber matrix phase and a recycled polystyrene precipitated phase are shown to exhibit mechanical behavior that greatly exceeds that of polystyrene and the naturally derived rubber alone.
