Substrate Engineering for Durable Omniphobic Liquid‐Like Surfaces
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.The significant yet less investigated role of substrates in determining the liquid‐repellency and mechanical durability of liquid‐like surfaces (LLSs) is explored. Thick and crack‐free sol–gel silica intermediary layers are developed that can smoothen substrate asperity roughness even at the micron scale, enabling omniphobic polydimethylsiloxane‐based ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A scalable nano‐/micro‐confinement strategy is developed, where polyacrylamide (PAM)‐LiCl hybrid desiccants are confined within hollow nanoparticles (HNPs) and assembled into raspberry‐like microbeads. The beads have a hydrogel‐rich core and an NP‐rich shell for fast absorption and desorption, releasing water 13.6 L kg⁻¹ day⁻¹.

Recovery of the Dye Intermediate DNDS from Aqueous Solution by Adsorption onto Resins
Adsorption Science & Technology, 2006 Four kinds of resins were investigated for the recovery of 4,4‘-dinitrostilbene-2,2’-disulphonic acid (DNDS), which is present as a pollutant in wastewater, and their adsorption behaviour and mechanisms assessed. One of the resins, YWB-38, exhibited much

Reconfigurable Microenvironments Uncover Mechano‐Sensing Timescales and Direct Cell Polarity
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A synthetic DNA‐crosslinked cell culture matrix enables control over the mechanical microenvironment surrounding cells. Independent tuning of stiffness and stress relaxation uncovers distinct timescales of mechano‐sensing that regulate cell behavior.

Tensile strength and impact strength of color modified acrylic resin reinforced with titanium dioxide nanoparticles [PDF]
, 2017 Poor mechanical properties are among the main limitations of acrylic resins. Addition of titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles to acrylic resin has been shown to improve its mechanical properties with an adverse effect on its color.
