Viscoelasticity, Lubricity, and Wear Prevention of Cross‐Linked Mucin Gels
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.Physiologically, biolubrication by mucus reduces friction and protects tissues from tribological stress, with mucins playing a key role. This study compares mucin‐based gels with distinct crosslinking architectures to explore their effect on the lubrication and wear prevention abilities of reconstituted mucin gels.

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.This study explores the performance of superhydrophobic surfaces during condensation from humid air, showing a 30%–40% heat transfer enhancement at high air velocities, but no advantage at low velocities. Improved droplet removal and vapor mass transfer through the non‐condensable gas layer explain the effect, clarifying operating conditions for ...

Fatigue Crack Growth Process in CPVC Pipe Couplings
e-Polymers, 2007 AbstractAn investigation of the influence of temperature and loading frequencies on the morphological features found on the fatigue fractured surface of chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) has been conducted. Single edge notched rectangular coupons obtained by flattening schedule 80 CPVC pipe couplings were subjected to fatigue loading at different ...

Advanced Materials Technologies, Volume 10, Issue 6, March 18, 2025.This review focuses on the application of synthetic biodegradable microarray patches (MAPs) in sustained drug delivery. Compared to conventional MAPs which release drugs into the skin in an immediate manner, these implantable MAPs release drugs into skin microcirculation gradually as the biodegradable polymers degrade, thus offering sustained release ...

Advanced Materials Technologies, Volume 10, Issue 6, March 18, 2025.This article demonstrates that encasing a hyperelastic balloon in an inextensible sleeve greatly increases its burst pressure. This simple mechanical behavior can be used to produce an asymmetric inflation‐deflation sequence for coupled balloons with different thicknesses so they could serve as a soft robot's rear and front anchors when driven from a ...

Flow Analysis in Pathological Microvascular Models by Ultrasound Localization Microscopy
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.This study presents a new platform combining ultrasound localization microscopy with biomimetic gelatin phantoms to analyze flow dynamics in small vessels with narrowing or obstructions. Using microbubble tracking, the method enables high‐resolution velocity mapping in 100–500 µm channels, revealing flow changes in pathological microvascular conditions
