A radiation-sensitive compound 2,4-hexadiyn-1,6-bis(n-butyl urethane) (HDDBU) was synthesized, characterized by FTIR spectroscopy, and introduced into a thin polyvinyl butyral film to form a radiation dosimeter for industrial irradiation facilities. The monomer polymerizes under gamma radiation, inducing change in the film spectrum in the range of 200-400 nm. According to XRD spectroscopy, the film contains monomeric HDDBU in a non-crystalline state. The dose response function, radiation sensitivity, and dependences of the response on environmental factors were studied. Uncertainty of dose measurements with the proposed dosimetry system was analyzed in detail.

Polyvinyl butyral (PVB) is a high-performance thermoplastic polymer, commonly used as an interlayer material in laminated safety glass for the automotive and architectural sectors. Currently, there is no end-of-life cycle program for a substantial amount of PVB film, which mainly ends up in landfills. According to a circular approach, PVB can be revalorized after efficient separation and recovery from glass.

In this study, water-insoluble, moisture-resistant starch foams were prepared using an optimized one-step extrusion-foaming process in a ZSK-30 twin screw extruder. The extrusion parameters, including temperature, screw configuration, die diameter, water content, and feeding rates, were optimized to achieve foams with the lowest density and controlled expansion. A screw configuration made up of three kneading sections was found to be the most effective for better mixing and foaming.

Printing inks, composed of binders, pigments, and additives, are essential components in plastic packaging but complicate recycling due to plastic contamination and degradation. While polyolefins are resistant to hydrolytic degradation, moisture generated from upstream cleaning processes, which is often ignored, can accelerate the degradation of ink binders, affecting the recyclate quality. This study has examined the impact of 3 wt.

Constructing an artificial solid electrolyte interface protective layer on the surface of the zinc anode is an effective strategy for addressing dendrite growth, passivation, and the hydrogen evolution reaction in aqueous zinc-ion batteries. This study introduces a robust interlayer composed of a polyvinyl butyral matrix decorated with SiO particles (PS). Adsorption of water by Si-OH on the surface of SiO leads to excellent hydrophilicity and accelerates the desolvation of ions.

In recent years, the application of electrochromic laminated safety glass has attracted more and more attention, relying on polyvinyl butyral (PVB) solid electrolyte film. Herein, the ionic conductivity (σ) of the PVB film has been improved by a cross-linked structure and blended with LiClO, which can reach as high as 1.78 × 10 S cm at room temperature.
