Switchable Supramolecular Adhesive by Tuning Interfacial Bonding and Modulus

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The supramolecular adhesive (HyDiP) shows reversible adhesion and recyclability. In the dehydrated state, it is dense, stiff (E ≈445 MPa), transparent, and provides strong bonding with adhesion strengths up to 4.65 MPa. In the hydrated state, it becomes porous, soft (E ≈0.11 MPa), and detaches easily, enabling sustainable high‐strength applications ...

Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Poly(dimethylsiloxane) Elasticity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Cross-linked polymers have unique and advantageous properties due to the infinite elastic chains. Poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) belongs into a group of non-toxic, relatively inert and highly elastic polymers (elastomers).

Controlling 3D Contractility via Engineered Fibrous Hydrogel Composites

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A tunable composite contractile assembly (CCA) is developed that can permit or resist contraction without changing cell‐adhesion and density, unlike collagen whose inherent coupling of these ECM cues limits its use as a platform in contractility studies.

Crosslink strength governs yielding behavior in dynamically crosslinked hydrogels

open access: yesBiomaterials Science
Injectable hydrogels have spawned great interest as vehicles for cell therapy. We find that crosslink strength controls the solid-to-liquid yielding transition; further, stronger crosslinks lead to brittle yielding, reducing injected cell viability.

Cardiac‐Derived ECM Microspheres for Enhanced hiPSC‐CMs Maturation

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Cardiac extracellular matrix microspheres derived from decellularized porcine heart provide a biomimetic 3D microenvironment for human induced pluripotent stem cell–derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC‐CMs). This platform supports short‐ and long‐term culture, enhances structural organization, and promotes electrophysiological and functional maturation of ...
