Bio‐Friendly Artificial Muscles Based on Carbon Nanotube Yarns and Eutectogel Derivatives

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Solid‐state artificial muscles based on coiled commercial carbon nanotube yarns coated with eutectogel derivatives exhibit unipolar actuation through selective ion intercalation. Combining polyanionic and polycationic gels enables enhanced contractile stroke and high energy density.

Cerebral Arterial and Venous Air Embolism Following Removal of Percutaneous Sheath Introducer

Prague Medical Report
Cerebral air embolism after removal of central venous catheter (CVC) is a rare complication but can lead to fatal outcomes. We report a rare case of both cerebral venous and arterial embolism occurring in a patient with underlying scleroderma-related ...

A Review on MXene Terminations

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Surface terminations play a decisive role in determining the properties of MXenes. Their coordination, composition and stoichiometry can be tuned both during synthesis and through post synthesis methods to tailor MXenes for optimum performance in applications. This review explores the present understanding of surface terminations.

Complementary Logic Driven by Dielectrophoretic Assembly of 2D Semiconductors

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Scalable, parallel fabrication of complementary logic gates is demonstrated using electric‐field‐driven deterministic assembly of electrochemically exfoliated 2D n‐type MoS2 and p‐type WSe2 nanosheets. This strategy yields MoS2 and WSe2 transistors featuring average mobilities of 4.3 and 3.0 cm2 V−1 s−1, respectively, and on/off ratios of > 104 ...

An In Situ Study of the Topochemical Transformation of Hybrid Layered Hydroxides Into Metallic Nanocomposites

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Herein, the topochemical transformation of cobalt‐based layered hydroxides into nanocomposites is investigated using advanced real‐time characterization techniques combined with thermogravimetric analysis. The study reveals how interlayer carboxylic acids direct the transformation pathway, highlighting the role of carbon content and anion length. These

Asymptotic and numerical analysis of a porous medium model for transpiration-driven sap flow in trees

, 2017
We develop a 3D porous medium model for sap flow within a tree stem, which consists of a nonlinear parabolic partial differential equation with a suitable transpiration source term. Using an asymptotic analysis, we derive approximate series solutions for

Solvent‐Free Bonding Mechanisms and Microstructure Engineering in Dry Electrode Technology for Lithium‐Ion Batteries

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Dry electrode technology revolutionizes battery manufacturing by eliminating toxic solvents and energy‐intensive drying. This work details two promising techniques: dry spray deposition and polymer fibrillation. How their unique solvent‐free bonding mechanisms create uniform microstructures for thicker, denser electrodes, boosting energy density and ...

Continuum mechanics at nanoscale. A tool to study trees' watering and recovery

, 2017
The cohesion-tension theory expounds the crude sap ascent thanks to the negative pressure generated by evaporation of water from leaves. Nevertheless, trees pose multiple challenges and seem to live in unphysical conditions: the negative pressure ...

Molecular Cross‐Linking of MXenes: Tunable Interfaces and Chemiresistive Sensing

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
In this study, Ti3C2Tx MXenes are initially functionalized using oleylamine ligands to form stable dispersions in an organic solvent. Subsequently ligand exchange with α,ω‐diaminoalkanes enables cross‐linking, along with precise tuning of interfaces. This structural control translates into tunable charge transport and responsive VOC sensing, showing ...
