Field-flow fractionation (FFF) is one of the most versatile separation techniques in the field of analytical separation sciences, capable of separating macromolecules in the range 10³-10¹⁵ g mol⁻¹ and/or particles with 1 nm-100 μm in diameter. The most universal and most frequently used FFF technique, flow FFF, includes three types of techniques, namely symmetrical flow FFF, hollow fiber flow FFF, and asymmetrical flow FFF which is most established variant among them. This review provides a brief look at the theoretical background of analyte retention and separation efficiency in FFF, followed by a comprehensive overview of the current status of asymmetrical flow FFF with selected applications in the field of biopolymers and bioparticles.

In the work presented here, we explore the upcycling of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) that was derived from water bottles. The material was granulated and extruded into a filament compatible with fused filament fabrication (FFF) additive manufacturing platforms. Three iterations of PET combined with a thermoplastic elastomer, styrene ethylene butylene styrene with a maleic anhydride graft (SEBS-g-MA), were made with 5, 10, and 20% by mass elastomer content.

Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are the most advanced delivery system currently available for RNA therapeutics. Their development has accelerated since the success of Patisiran, the first siRNA-LNP therapeutic, and the mRNA vaccines that emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic. Designing LNPs with specific targeting, high potency, and minimal side effects is crucial for their successful clinical use.

Article Synopsis
- Fused-filament fabrication (FFF) is an affordable and easy-to-use additive manufacturing method with numerous materials, but it involves many overlooked process variables.
- This study focuses on less-studied variables like raster orientation angles and feeding rates to evaluate their effects on the mechanical properties of short carbon fiber-reinforced polyamide made by FFF.
- The results showed that a combination of stacking layers at 0°/90° and +30°/-30° provides optimal tensile and flexural strengths, while increasing the flow rate did not enhance part density or mechanical properties.

To describe a new method for the automatic generation of process parameters for fused filament fabrication (FFF) across varying machines and materials. We use an instrumented extruder to fit a function that maps nozzle pressures across varying flow rates and temperatures for a given machine and material configuration. We then develop a method to extract real parameters for flow rate and temperature using relative pressures and temperature offsets.
