Accessing DMPA-SC through the public and private sectors in Nigeria: users’ characteristics and their experiences

open access: yesGates Open Research, 2018
Background: Beginning in 2015, subcutaneous depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA-SC) was added to the contraceptive method mix in Nigeria, primarily through social marketing in the private sector and community-based distribution in the public sector.

Acyclic Hydrocarbon α,ω‐Dienes: From Biomass and Plastic Upcycling to Carbocycles, Precision Polymers, and Cross‐Linked Elastomers

open access: yesChemSusChem, Volume 19, Issue 14, 29 July 2026.
Hydrocarbon α,ω‐dienes are mainly produced from steam‐cracking derivatives, but high costs, complexity, and environmental impact limit their use. This review highlights sustainable paths from biomass and plastic upcycling, and surveys catalytic transformations into carbocycles and specialty polymers, emphasizing their role as modular building blocks ...

Mechanically Durable Intrinsically Stretchable Neuromorphic Devices via Molecular Microstructure Design

open access: yesSmall, Volume 22, Issue 41, 22 July 2026.
This study reports intrinsically stretchable neuromorphic devices that exhibit outstanding mechanical stability while fully preserving their electrical characteristics over 105 repeated deformation cycles under 50% tensile strain. Such robustness is achieved through a rational molecular design strategy that systematically modulates the chain packing of

Nanoengineered Binetworks in Multifunctional Anionic Block Polymer Mesoblends for Improved Mechanical Properties

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 51, 25 June 2026.
Mesoblends consist of a nanostructured polymer into which a second polymer is imbibed with a selective solvent. In this work, a solvent‐templatable pentablock terpolymer possessing a sulfonated midblock is modified with a hydrophilic polymer that is photocrosslinked in situ, yielding a hierarchical binetwork.

Applications of Polymers in Zinc Anode Protection for Aqueous Zinc‐Ion Batteries

open access: yesBattery Energy, Volume 5, Issue 3, May 2026.
Zinc anodes suffer from dendrite growth and side reactions, severely restricting aqueous zinc‐ion battery applications. Polymers with adjustable structures and functions are widely used to protect the zinc anode. This review outlines design principles, mechanisms, and optimization strategies for polymer‐based interfacial layers and electrolytes ...

Self-injected Depot–Medroxyprogesterone Acetate Subcutaneous (DMPA-SC) Uptake in Nigeria: A Paradigm Shift

open access: yesTEXILA INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ACADEMIC RESEARCH, 2021
Self-injection of DMPA-SC method is one of the Government of Nigeria’s (GON) national family planning goals to address the unmet need for contraception. Some studies on DMPA-SC/SI have demonstrated its feasibility to improve modern contraceptive uptake.
