Rational Tuning of Hygroscopic Oscillation of Stacked Nanoflake Assemblies for Continuous Ambient Energy Harvesting

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Stacked nanoflake assembly (SNA) membranes can oscillate autonomously, offering opportunities for soft actuation and energy harvesting. This work uncovers the physical mechanism behind the sustained oscillation of SNA membranes in gradient humidity and identifies three governing dimensionless parameters, enabling rational design for optimizing SNA ...

Ionic Gating of Liquid‐Crystal‐Like Pteridine Assemblies Enables Tunable Light Scattering

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Tunable optical properties emerge through developmentally regulated ionic gating, which transforms disordered, ultraviolet (UV)‐absorbing organelles into concentrically ordered, liquid‐crystal‐like light scatterers. By integrating analyses of pteridine composition, potassium‐dependent assembly, hierarchical ultrastructure, and optical behavior, the ...

Electrospun PCL Fibers Enhanced With Molecularly Imprinted Polymers for the Adsorption of Pharmaceutical Drugs

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Electrospun polycaprolactone fiber mats embedded with diclofenac‐imprinted polymers were developed to remove persistent pharmaceutical pollutants from water. The materials showed improved adsorption and retention compared to pure polymer mats, with performance influenced by fiber diameter and polymer content.
