However, most traditional food packaging materials in the market are typically made of inexpensive synthetic plastics with a limited scope of providing physical containment and an effective barrier against moisture and gases. In contrast, sustainable active packaging offers a promising solution to extend the shelf-life of food by effectively decreasing the rate of oxidative deterioration and microbial growth while reducing the environmental impact of petrochemical-derived plastics. As a result, there is a significant interest in developing sustainable and active food packaging materials with a low carbon footprint. Natural resource-derived antioxidant and antimicrobial agents are better alternatives to traditional synthetic agents when combined with any biodegradable polymer as it enhances the sustainability portfolio. This review critically evaluates recent trends in developing natural resource-derived antioxidant and antimicrobial agents for active food packaging applications. Various active biobased antioxidant and antimicrobial agents are critically reviewed and discussed, including their structure, physico-chemical properties, and various attributes in food packaging applications. Finally, this review presents an outlook on the future of sustainable and active food packaging materials and highlights the potential challenges in their development and implementation.","PeriodicalId":20326,"journal":{"name":"Polymer Reviews","volume":"43 1","pages":"961 - 1013"},"PeriodicalIF":13.1,"publicationDate":"2023-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77177692","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, their fatigue behavior is highly important to ensure safe operation for which limited information is available compared to compact materials like asphalt, concrete, and metals. Starting with an understanding of the main parameters controlling the mechanical properties of polymer foams, this literature review further presents a broad overview of the information available to understand the relations between loading conditions and fatigue lifetime, including damage level development. The review is composed into three main classes of polymers: thermoplastics, thermosets, and elastomers. The effect of loading conditions, including stress/strain amplitude, loading ratio (R, r), frequency (f), moisture content, type of deformation and temperature (T) is presented and discussed. Finally, the effect of foam morphology in terms of cell size (d) and density (ρ) on the fatigue performance is included to make a link between Paris’ law and crack propagation. A conclusion is also provided with openings for future development.","PeriodicalId":20326,"journal":{"name":"Polymer Reviews","volume":"27 1","pages":"866 - 894"},"PeriodicalIF":13.1,"publicationDate":"2023-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78143337","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Additive manufacturing (AM) of polyolefins offers both a viable path toward functional prototyping of design concepts and direct manufacturing of end-use parts. Melt-based AM of polyolefins is more challenging than other semicrystalline polymers (polyamides) due to the relatively high levels of volumetric shrinkage encountered during crystallization of such polymers that lead to significant issues related to warpage and interlayer adhesion. The focus of this review is to evaluate the latest state-of-the-art for processing polyolefins by powder bed fusion (PBF) and material extrusion (MatEx) AM modalities. Recent progress in processing neat, filled, and blends of polyolefins using PBF and MatEx are discussed to highlight the importance of the rheological and morphological characteristics of the polymer melt on the printed parts performance. The existing challenges to AM of polyolefins are emphasized and strategies to address the limitations are recommended through a better understanding of the associated process-structure-property relationships. A holistic approach spanning synthetic modifications for feedstock development, improved system design, and physics-guided process parameter selection is required to broadly adopt melt-based AM of polyolefins.","PeriodicalId":20326,"journal":{"name":"Polymer Reviews","volume":"249 1","pages":"895 - 960"},"PeriodicalIF":13.1,"publicationDate":"2023-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76990113","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

PCMs utilize latent heat storage, absorbing and releasing energy during phase transitions within specific temperature ranges. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is a promising organic PCM due to its easily tunable phase change temperatures, high melting/freezing enthalpies, and nontoxicity, among other advantages. However, PEG suffers from low thermal conductivity and requires encapsulation to contain the flow of liquified PEG. To address these issues, PEG has been composited with thermally conductive fillers and porous materials. Moreover, PEG has been modified to have enhanced photothermal conversion efficiency, decreased supercooling, and flame resistance. This review discusses exemplary developments in PEG-based composite PCMs, focusing on blending with different polymers, doping with various carbon materials (porous carbons, graphene, and carbon nanotubes), embedding into silica-based skeletons, and synergizing with other promising hosts and additives like layered doubled hydroxides, MXenes, and metal-organic frameworks. This work highlights key studies focused on implementing PEG-based PCMs in building, pavement, electronic, textile, solar, and waste heat recovery applications. The consequences of different synthesis parameters and their effects on the composite PCM’s thermal transition properties are emphasized among the other results.
