Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Most matter is nominally frozen in the polar regions or space, and liquid crystal materials are no exception. Consequently, soft actuators, including liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs), are inoperative under such extreme cold in response to stimuli, as their motion relies on mechanical deformation.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A scalable biomimetic platform transforms bioinert poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate into neuroinstructive matrices via integrating solvent transfer‐induced phase separation, microfluidics, and 3D bioprinting. Bicontinuous, hyperbolically curved microporous networks embedded within a fibrous construct elicit rapid adhesion, robust proliferation, and ...

Effect of functional oils on the immune response of broilers challenged with Eimeria spp.
Animal, 2019 Infection with Eimeria sp. results in the activation of multiple facets of the host immune system; the use of phytogenics can modulate the inflammatory response and improve the performance of the challenged animal.

Comparative evaluation of different plant residues on the soil and leaf chemical composition, growth, and seed yield of castor bean (Ricinus communis) [PDF]
, 2004 This work investigated the effect of plant residues such as cocoahusk, ricebran and saw dust on the growth, seed yield, leaf and soil chemical composition of castor bean in 1999 and 2000 at Akure in the rainforest zone of Nigeria.

Enhanced voltage generation through electrolyte flow on liquid-filled surfaces. [PDF]
, 2018 The generation of electrical voltage through the flow of an electrolyte over a charged surface may be used for energy transduction. Here, we show that enhanced electrical potential differences (i.e., streaming potential) may be obtained through the flow ...

Methanolysis of Castor Oil and Parametric Optimization [PDF]
Procedia Engineering, 2016 AbstractThe rate of transesterification reaction is very slow as oil is sparingly soluble in methanol. In the present work, castor oil as non-edible oil source was investigated for the synthesis of fatty acid methyl ester (FAME). To enhance transesterification reaction, purified castor oil was treated with microwave energy prior to alkaline ...

Dynamically Adaptive Wrinkle‐Structured Light‐Regulating Films for Energy‐Efficient Buildings
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A scalable, moisture‐responsive cellulose nanofibril/polyvinyl alcohol (CNF/PVA)‐glycerol film with switchable wrinkled surfaces for dynamic light regulation is developed. Compared to glass, it achieves tunable light diffusion for daylight harvesting, thermal regulation, and privacy control.

Spreading of Fluids on Solids Under Pressure: Effect of Slip [PDF]
, 2010 Spreading of different types of fluid on substrates under an impressed force is an interesting problem. Here we study spreading of four fluids, having different hydrophilicity and viscosity on two substrates - glass and perspex, under an external force ...

A new dielectric effect in viscous liquids
, 2013 An accurate experimental and theoretical study has been performed about a phenomenon, not previously reported in the literature, occurring in highly viscous liquids: the formation of a definite pipe structure induced by the passage of a heavy body, this ...
