Manufacturers add synthetic antioxidants to plastics, rubbers and other polymers to make them last longer. However, the health effects of these compounds, and how readily they migrate into the environment, are largely unknown. An open-access paper on the work is published in ACS’ Environmental Science & Technology Letters. 1c00866.

UBQ is a patented material converted from 100% unsorted household waste, containing food leftovers, mixed plastics, paper, cardboard, packaging materials and diapers. Targeting the plastic industry first, and leveraging the material’s thermoplastic affinity to polymers, they company developed several commercial grades of UBQ material.

Low-temperature PEM fuel cells that use Nafion are at present being commercialized in fuel cell vehicles, but these cells can operate only at relatively low temperatures and high hydration levels; therefore, they require humidified inlet streams and large radiators to dissipate waste heat. —Lee et al. —Yu Seung Kim.

Although the presence of microplastics in the environment is raising concerns, the amount of microplastics in air and water is small compared to another polymer that pollutes air and water: micro rubber. 22 kilotonnes of micro rubber have accumulated in the environment in Switzerland. —Christoph Hüglin.

An emphasis on bio-fuels, which are suitable for an SOFC and derived from sources (such as cellulosic biomass, agricultural residues, or municipal solid waste) that do not compete with food supply, is required. However, they must accommodate high ripple currents, in a high temperature environment. Office of Nuclear Energy.
