Beyond Traditional RAFT Polymerization: Emerging Strategies and Future Perspectives; A Third Update

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This review explores recent advances in the past five years for non‐traditional RAFT polymerization, focusing on new activation strategies, sustainable depolymerization, and integration with automated and AI‐driven synthesis. Together, these innovations advance polymer chemistry and reveal how the pieces of the non‐traditional RAFT puzzle are steadily ...

Review of acoustic comfort evaluation in dwellings—part I: Associations of acoustic field data to subjective responses from building surveys

, 2018
Acoustic comfort is a concept hardly described in the literature. But it has been used in engineering typically to refer to low noise or annoyance in order to invoke no discomfort.

Integrated Ultrasound Device for Precision Bladder Volume Monitoring via Acoustic Focusing and Machine Learning

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We present a conformable wearable ultrasound patch for noninvasive bladder volume monitoring. A flexible PZT array combined with a concave acoustic lens concentrates acoustic energy and improves depth selectivity through the anterior pelvic wall.

Soundscape and the Adaptation of Soundscape to Covered Spaces

Megaron, 2011
Soundscape, as urban noise is termed, is essentially a qualitative approach which aims to discover ways to improve the “sonic environment”. A possible analogy can be assumed for the acoustic quality of some types of covered spaces which have a function ...

Recent Advances in Laser‐Induced Graphene‐Based Gas Sensors: From Sensing Mechanisms to Biomedical Applications

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Laser‐induced graphene (LIG) provides a scalable, laser‐direct‐written route to porous graphene architecture with tunable chemistry and defect density. Through heterojunction engineering, catalytic functionalization, and intrinsic self‐heating, LIG achieves highly sensitive and selective detection of NOX, NH3, H2, and humidity, supporting next ...

Hybrid isolation of structure-borne sound [PDF]

, 2002
Interior noise problems become more important due to the tendency to construct lighter vehicles. An important source for interior noise in a vehicle is the engine. The structural vibrations induced by the engine will transmit through the vehicle and will
