From Water Vapor Transmission Rate (WVTR) to Intrinsic Water Vapor Permeability (WVP)

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Breathable membranes can appear less permeable when the measurement apparatus limits vapor transport. A calibrated four‐step model describes membrane permeation and apparatus effects as resistances in series under a common chemical‐potential driving force.

A Retinal Matrix Stiffening Model Reveals FAK‐Dependent Mechanotransduction in Pericytes Underlies Vascular Destabilization

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
In this study, we show that retinal matrix stiffness is increased in diabetic mice. Using engineered human vascular models with controlled matrix stiffness, we demonstrate that stiffening activates focal adhesion kinase (FAK) signaling in pericytes, suppresses Notch signaling, and disrupts vascular morphology.

Understanding Operando Water Management in Hydroxide‐Exchange‐Membrane Fuel Cells

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Effective water management is vital for high‐performance hydroxide‐exchange‐membrane fuel cells. Using a custom water‐flux station, this study quantifies how membrane thickness, microporous layers, and operating conditions dictate internal water transport.

Binder‐Free Direct Ink Writing of Li6.4La3Zr1.4Ta0.6O12 Garnet Electrolytes for All‐Solid‐State Batteries

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Polymer binders and thick pressed LLZTO pellets limit all‐solid‐state battery integration through grain‐boundary carbon and high ohmic losses. A binder‐free capillary suspension ink is direct‐ink‐written and sintered into 254 μm$\mu{\rm m}$, 95.8%‐dense Ta‐stabilized LLZTO with 17.3 mS cm−1$\text{cm}^{-1}$ bulk conductivity, enabling thinner ...

Seaweed Invasions and Novel Chemical Defences

, 2012
Biological invasions pose a risk to the biodiversity and the functioning of ecosystems in invaded areas. The reasons why some introduced species become dominant and widespread in their new environments is still largely an unsettled question. It has commonly been predicted that introduced plants will invade when they are less affected by herbivores ...

Amphiphilic Non‐Isocyanate Polyurethane Coatings With Tunable Antifouling and Fouling‐Release Performance: A Log‐Ratio Assessment Framework

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Amphiphilic non‐isocyanate polyurethane (NIPU) coatings containing reactive hydrophobic poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) and hydrophilic methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) (MPEG) prepolymers for marine antifouling (AF) and fouling‐release (FR) applications were investigated. The coatings were evaluated with a set of representative marine foulants.

Millifluidic Synthesis of Core–Shell Resonators For Tunable Sonic BandGaps in Acoustic Metamaterials

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Millimeter‐scale core–shell acoustic resonators are fabricated by a gravity‐assisted dripping approach and incorporated into epoxy composites at controlled volume fractions. The resulting alumina–core resonator composites show tunable low‐frequency acoustic attenuation, demonstrating a scalable route for integrating locally resonant metamaterial units ...

Conformal Coating and Transfer of 2D Nanomaterials via Dynamic Interface Engineering

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This review discusses conformal coating and transfer of two‐dimensional (2D) nanomaterials with a focus on dynamic interface engineering. By actively regulating nanosheet transport and interfacial contact during film formation, recent dynamic coating strategies overcome the limitations of conventional passive approaches and enable geometry‐adaptive ...

Control of Bacterial Attachment on Macroporous PDMS/Paraffin SLIPS With Varying Lubricant Viscosity

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Slippery liquid‐infused porous surfaces (SLIPS) prepared from macroporous PDMS, infused with medical‐grade paraffins, were systematically investigated regarding the correlation of viscosity, surface corrugation, bulk porosity, and bacterial resistance. Substrate porosity was found to dominate lubricant stabilization and the antifouling activity.
