Composites of Shellac and Silver Nanowires as Flexible, Biobased, and Corrosion‐Resistant Transparent Conductive Electrodes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Shellac, a centuries‐old natural resin, is reimagined as a green material for flexible electronics. When combined with silver nanowires, shellac films deliver transparency, conductivity, and stability against humidity. These results position shellac as a sustainable alternative to synthetic polymers for transparent conductors in next‐generation ...

MICROWAVE HEAT TREATMENT OF WASTES (CLAY, GLASS AND COAL ASH) TO MANUFACTURE A HIGH MECHANICAL STRENGTH CELLULAR AGGREGATE

Nonconventional Technologies Review, 2020
The paper presents experimental results obtained in the manufacturing process of a lightweight aggregate using a finely ground mixture of wastes (clay, glass and coal ash) expanded with silicon carbide as a foaming agent. The originality of the work consists in the use of microwave radiation in a direct heating process, the energy efficiency being ...

Cryo‐EM of Rationally Designed Photosystem I Nanoassembly on Graphene Validates Orientation‐Driven Enhancement of Photocatalytic Performance

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The first cryo‐EM visualization and quantification of oriented Photosystem I (PSI) on single‐layer graphene is reported. Domain‐specific covalent anchoring of PSI, with the reducing side of the biophotocatalyst toward graphene, promotes three‐fold higher anodic photocurrent generation compared to a randomly physisorbed counterpart. This approach allows

Microsphere Autolithography—A Scalable Approach for Arbitrary Patterning of Dielectric Spheres

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
MicroSphere Autolithography (µSAL) enables scalable fabrication of patchy particles with customizable surface motifs. Focusing light through dielectric microspheres creates well defined, tunable patches via a conformal poly(dopamine) photoresist. Nearly arbitrary surface patterns can be achieved, with the resolution set by the index contrast between ...
