A recent study was published in which via a thermomechanical "thiol-epoxy" click process, biocomposite and biodegradable epoxy vitrimer adhesives (ESOBV) with active borate ester linkages were produced from epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) and a dithiol borate ester curing agent (BDB). This research was published in European Polymer Journal.

A collaborative research group from The University of Texas at Austin have developed a new sodium-based battery material that is more stable.
Researchers in the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology have developed a new physical model for controlling elastic wave propagation – a model that may potentially impact various applications, including acoustic cloaking, enhanced sensing, and energy tunneling.
Enzymes are capable of degrading synthetic polyisoprene. The specific conditions for that have now been created and exploited by researchers at Martin Luther-University Halle-Wittenberg and the Leibniz Institute of Plant Biochemistry.
Through their research efforts, the team was able to finally disprove an intuitive assumption that in order for two particles of matter to merge and form larger units, they must be attracted to each other.
