Self‐Cleaning Sensor Surfaces for Long‐Term Environmental Monitoring
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Long‐term use of unattended outdoor sensors without soiling or biofouling is achieved through generation of a micro‐ and nanorough cuvette surface by combing hydrophobic nanoparticles with fluorinated polymers, crosslinked and surface‐attached through CHic chemistry. The coating demonstrates self‐cleaning behavior and prolonged outdoor stability, which

Gyroid Structured Globugraphite Carbon Foam With Hierarchical and Tailored Pore Size
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Secondary sacrificial templates were designed and printed to create a defined network within a porous carbon. Lattices thermally degrades during the sintering process. Lattices are imprinted into the ceramic template and transferred to the morphology of Globugraphite.

Privatization of Biofilm Matrix in Structurally Heterogeneous Biofilms
mSystems, 2019 Biofilms are communities of bacteria protected by a self-produced extracellular matrix. The detrimental effects of nonproducing individuals on biofilm development raise questions about the dynamics between community members, especially when isogenic nonproducers exist within wild-type populations.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A dynamically actuated reconfigurable topographical surface (DARTS) integrates contact‐mediated bactericidal nanotopography with programmable mechanical actuation to actively disrupt bacterial biofilms. Dynamic surface reconfiguration enhances bacterial killing and suppresses implant‐associated infections in vivo, providing a new strategy for active ...
