A Robust Dual‐mode Self‐Monitoring Battery Thermal Management System via Bilayer Structural Design
An adaptive dual‐mode material capable of both evaporative cooling and photothermal preheating is developed. It achieves a cooling efficiency of 53.9%, surpassing existing evaporative cooling counterparts, and a self‐monitoring capability, making it ideal for electric vehicles, portable electronics, and grid‐scale energy storage.

Nanorods of Well-Defined Length and Monodisperse Cross-Section Obtained from Electrostatic Complexation of Nanoparticles with a Semiflexible Biopolymer [PDF]
We show by combining small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and cryo-transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM) that anionic silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) assemble into well-defined 1D cluster when mixed with a dilute solution of semiflexible chitosan ...

The effect of a molecular‐level dual‐ionophilic chitosan passivation layer is investigated on a nanostructured paper electrode featuring an interconnected network structure of highly oxygen‐functionalized single‐walled carbon nanotubes (C‐NPE). This molecular coating enabled a high Coulombic efficiency (>99.0%) and stable cycling over 350 cycles at an ...

Chitosan and Its Derivatives for Application in Mucoadhesive Drug Delivery Systems
Mucoadhesive drug delivery systems are desirable as they can increase the residence time of drugs at the site of absorption/action, provide sustained drug release and minimize the degradation of drugs in various body sites.

Nitrogen sorption as a tool for the characterisation of polysaccharide aerogels [PDF]
Supercritically dried aerogels of several polysaccharides (chitin, chitosan, alginate, alginic acid, k- carrageenan, and agar) have been characterised by physisorption ofN2. Surface areas as high as 570m2 g−1 have been measured.
