Thermally Activated Swelling and Wetting Transition of Frozen Polymer Brushes:a New Concept for Surface Functionalization

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A novel approach is introduced that leverages polymer phase transitions to modulate brush behavior. The oleophilic bottle brush system exhibits two distinct melting transitions—bulk and surface—enabling a two‐stage swelling and wetting transition.

Subsurface State Bilayer in Tetragonal Ferroelectric BaTiO3

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
The subsurface Ba2+disorder, reveals the pairs of O vacancies (VO++$V_O^{ + + }$ s) and small polarons (SPe‐SPe−$SP_e^ - $ s) (Figure a–b), with the charge balance, as the following: Ti3++[VO+++SPe−]pair↔Ti4+${{T}_i}^{3 + } + {{[V_O^{ + + } + SP_e^ - ]}_{pair}} \leftrightarrow T_i^{4 + }$ which is consistent with observed low‐energy electron ...

Depression and the medicalization of sadness: conceptualization and recommended help-seeking [PDF]

, 2013
Critiques of the validity of the DSM diagnostic criteria for depressive disorder argue that it fails to differentiate between abnormal sadness due to internal dysfunction or depression (sadness without an identifiable cause), and normal sadness (sadness ...

Understanding the role of P2X7 in affective disorders—are glial cells the major players? [PDF]

, 2015
Pathophysiology associated with several psychiatric disorders has been linked to inflammatory biomarkers. This has generated a theory of major depressive disorders as an inflammatory disease.

Classification of Depressive Disorders

, 2012
The classification of depression is well established in major diagnostic systems and operational definitions now make the diagnosis of depression reasonably reliable. However, classification and diagnosis continue to be based on clinical presentation and course and are not currently informed by aetiological or pathophysiological considerations.

Nano‐Octahedron Cobalt Oxide Decorated Graphene Nanocomposites for the Selective/Simultaneous Detection of Dopamine

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Nano‐octahedron Co3O4 decorated graphene composite electrode for selective and simultaneous detection of dopamine. The detection limit of 0.09 µM, and linear range from 1 to 500 µM are reported. The synergistic effect of nano octahedron Co3O4 and graphene results in excellent performance of the sensor in terms of selectivity and sensitivity.

Organic Ferroelectric Synaptic Transistors for Neural Image Recognition Networks

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
All organic transistors, where both the dielectric and semiconducting layers are polymeric, are developed as electrical synaptic devices. Two copolymers of PVDF as the dielectric layer with large differences in their saturation polarizability and memory window are chosen.

Interfacial Yield Stress Response in Synthetic Mucin Solutions

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
The solution rheology of novel synthetic mucins mimicking natural mucin domains is studied. Like many natural mucin solutions, apparent solid‐like rheology is seen. However, no bulk structural features are found to explain it. Interfacial rheology and robust modelling reveal that this arises from molecular associations at the air–water interface ...
