Supramolecular Lubricating Hydrogel Microspheres Reshape Damaged Matrix Regeneration

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 37, October 6, 2025.
The supramolecular lubricating hydrogel microspheres can provide stable mechanophysical protection at damaged matrix through interfacial hydration lubrication: in the early and middle stages, microspheres can actively provide microscale supramolecular lubrication (µ ≈ 0.04) for damaged matrix; in the late stage, the wear debris induced by shear and ...

The Fusion of Elemental Sulfur With Waste Cooking Oil‐Based Derivatives: Beyond Renewability

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Lipid Science and Technology, Volume 127, Issue 7, July 2025.
The fuse of two waste streams, elemental sulfur and waste cooking oil, is enabled by Inverse Vulcanization. The process might ensure the closed‐loop production of polymeric materials for a wide range of applications, beyond its sole potential renewability.

Review on Synthesis Methods of Carbon Nanotubes as Activated Carbon Composites Based on Biomass for Supercapacitors in Electric Vehicles

open access: yesEnergy Technology, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2025.
This work reviews various methods to synthesize carbon nanotubes and analyzes the best methods to produce composites for supercapacitors for electric vehicles. Chemical vapor deposition is found to be the best method because the produced CNTs can be used directly without purification unless the catalyst particles need to be removed.
