41. Optimising sample preparation for FTIR-based microplastic analysis in wastewater and sludge samples: multiple digestions

     These are the kinds of articles we try to highlight in our project. Authors realized a gap in Science and they tried to fill it up. In this case, they face the complexity of comparison between microplastic analysis in different samples, environments or types of plastic due to a non uniformity of methods existing. This issue could be not as sexy as others, but it is also crucial in plastic research. We hope you like it and appreciate the deep detail they got into in the article.

40. Nano-domains assisted energy transfer in amphiphilic polymer conetworks for wearable luminescent solar concentrators

With this article, we keep feeding the tag #SolarCells, which has been a little bit sleepy since episode 22. Cellulose-Conducting Polymer Aerogels for Efficient Solar Steam Generation . Plus, we thought it explains an interesting principle of solution to the waste of energy reflected in solar cells by using amphiphilic polymer conetworks. The authors also propose an interesting application of the device for wearable luminescent solar concentrators, so it will be an engaging podcast for you.

New Rhythm

Hello, it’s been a long time since the last post in the meta-section of the blog, so it’s time for a new one and also for explaining news about Polymers Audio Articles. The last few months have been chill, sharing podcasts every week as usual, but we chase more ambitious objectives, primarily with more interaction in social media creating community. There was also a personal milestone we wanted to achieve and we think it’s time to share it. In Polymers Audio Articles we pursue a continuous growth way. It is important to accomplish numbers of views, followers and those kinds of things that will rebound positively on the feedback we receive, but the mindset is to climb the mountain step by step, knowing there is no pick to crown, just a road to enjoy learning and avoiding obstacles . This is a very general explanation, but we also have concrete goals, for example, we thought since the beginning to concede ourselves the first year to just upload episodes and expand the content as much as
