Smart Poly(acrylic acid)/Poly(acrylamide) Microgels with Interpenetrating Polymer Network Structure

Applied Sciences
Microgels with precisely tuned properties are of great importance as drug delivery systems. Here, we report the synthesis of microgel particles (MGs) with an interpenetrating polymer network structure composed of poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) and ...

Sharp-edged geometric obstacles in microfluidics promote deformability-based sorting of cells

, 2019
Sorting cells based on their intrinsic properties is a highly desirable objective, since changes in cell deformability are often associated with various stress conditions and diseases. Deterministic lateral displacement (DLD) devices offer high precision

Parallel 3D Bioprinting on SLIPS‐Microarrays

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work introduces the first truly parallel 3D bioprinting method, enabling both the simultaneous fabrication of hundreds of cell laden hydrogel 3D structures and their HTS in individual liquid compartments. By integrating Digital Light Processing (DLP) stereolithography with functional micropatterns, the platform decouples printing time from array ...

Enhanced Li‐Ion Battery Performance with Hybrid MXene/GnR Electrodes: Heterojunctions and Engineered Architectures Supported by DFT Mechanistic Studies for Improved Rate Performance, Stability & Capacity

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) remain central to energy storage but suffer from slow ion transport and degradation. Here, we present a binder‐free Ti3C2Tx MXene/GnR hybrid electrode with a porous 3D architecture formed via freeze casting. The structure enhances conductivity, ion transport, and stability, delivering 401 mAh/g, ∼97% efficiency, and 92 ...

Toward Stable Multivalent Metal Batteries: Understanding the Interfacial Chemistry for Magnesium and Calcium Metal Anodes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Interphase chemistry governs the stability of multivalent metal batteries. We summarize state‐of‐the‐art developments in calcium and magnesium metal batteries by focusing on the correlation among electrolytes, interphase layers, and the electrochemical performance of corresponding metal anodes.

The role of protein-phenolic interactions in the formation of red wine colloidal particles

OENO One
Colloids play a crucial role in red wine quality and stability, yet their composition and formation mechanisms remain poorly understood. Recent studies from the D-Wines (Diversity of the Italian Wines) project aimed to elucidate the structure ...

Built‐In Interfacial Electric Field in Hydroxyl‐Terminated MXene/COF Heterostructures for Enhanced Solid‐State Supercapacitors

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Hydroxyl‐terminated MXene is integrated with a redox‐active covalent organic framework through electrostatic self‐assembly followed by hydrothermal treatment to construct MXene/COF heterostructures with a built‐in interfacial electric field. Termination‐controlled interfacial electronic modulation induces charge redistribution and favorable band ...

Enrichment of plasma extracellular vesicles for reliable quantification of their size and concentration for biomarker discovery

Scientific Reports, 2020
Human plasma is a complex fluid, increasingly used for extracellular vesicle (EV) biomarker studies. Our aim was to find a simple EV-enrichment method for reliable quantification of EVs in plasma to be used as biomarker of disease.
