CO2‐Responsive Smart Wood Scaffold for Natural Organic Matter Removal without Secondary Pollution

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A CO2‐responsive smart wood scaffold is developed for sustainable water purification, achieving efficient natural organic matter (NOM) removal and microbial disinfection without secondary pollution. The CO2‐responsive polymer coating undergoes protonation upon CO2 exposure, enabling strong cation−π interactions with NOM.

Artificially Weaved Textile‐like Surface Micromachined Graphene‐Polymer Flexible Bioelectrodes

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This study reports on the engineering of microscale textured surfaces of SU‐8/PMMA polymer composites much like a “weft‐warp” pattern to resemble “artificially‐weaved” textiles. These microstructured surfaces enable conformal layering of functional reduced graphene oxide (rGO), all‐in‐all offering favorable features including remarkable self ...

On the Relentless Pursuit of an Oral Insulin Delivery System: How Far is Too Far?

Advanced Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Injectable insulin preparations have far outpaced oral ones by virtue of adequate bioavailability and are driven by innovations, including insulin pumps, real‐time blood glucose monitoring, and artificial intelligence. In contrast, oral insulin delivery systems, including nanomedicines, continue to struggle and lag due to varied reasons.
