Nanodiamond‐Infused Microgels for pH‐Tunable Rheology, Lubrication, and UV Protection
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Microgels consisting of swollen polyacrylic acid polymer networks, impregnated with nanodiamonds provide protection from ultraviolet (UV) radiation harmful to human health. Nanodiamonds enable UV blockage and control of the rheology (flow) and lubrication (skin‐feel) of these microgel‐skincare‐mimics.

A Universal Biomimetic Approach for Making Artificial Antigen‐Presenting Cells for T Cell Activation
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This study shows a biomimetic silica microcapsule (SMC) fabrication method under mild conditions for making artificial antigen‐presenting cells (aAPCs). Inspired by marine biomineralization, peptide‐mediated biosilicification enables silica shell formation on emulsion templates. The resulting SMCs possess a core–shell structure, controlled fluorescence

Neutron reflectivity and soft condensed matter
Current Opinion in Colloid & Interface Science, 2002 Abstract During the last 10–15 years neutron reflectivity has emerged as a powerful and important technique for the study of surfaces and interfaces. The selectivity and sensitivity afforded by deuterium/hydrogen exchange makes the technique particularly attractive for application to the broad field of colloid and interface science.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A scalable nano‐/micro‐confinement strategy is developed, where polyacrylamide (PAM)‐LiCl hybrid desiccants are confined within hollow nanoparticles (HNPs) and assembled into raspberry‐like microbeads. The beads have a hydrogel‐rich core and an NP‐rich shell for fast absorption and desorption, releasing water 13.6 L kg⁻¹ day⁻¹.
