Cellulose Surface Modification Effects on Equilibrium and Non‐Equilibrium Wetting by Water

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Molecular dynamics simulations of nanometer‐sized water droplets spreading on cellulose substrates show strong effects from surface chemistry on both equilibrium contact angles and spreading dynamics. ABSTRACT Chemical modification is an important route to tuning interactions between nanocellulose and its surrounding media. Specifically, it affects the

Culinary Chemistry as a Platform for Interfacial Materials Design

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Culinary processes control interfaces through heating, shear, gelation, and molecular transport. This Review connects selected gastronomic examples with food‐derived nanomaterials, plasmonic sensing, anthocyanin photovoltaics, and intelligent packaging. Original agar‐based plasmonic films illustrate the proposed translation.

Programming Actuation in 3D‐Printed Micro‐Architectures via Interfacial Adhesion Control

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A two‐phase meniscus‐guided 3D printing method directly fabricates microscale poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) bilayers with in situ programmable interfaces. Modulating the meniscus stretching speed switches the interface between separated and bonded states, which controls the mechanical ...

Chitin‐Chitosan Cryogels for the Reversible Sequestration and Recovery of Heavy Metals From Wastewater

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Chitin‐chitosan cryogels with degrees of N‐acetylation from 12.2% to 71.4% are fabricated by dissolution, coagulation and lyophilization for the sequestration of heavy metals from water. Colorimetry and differential pulse voltammetry showed controlled adsorption and desorption capacities for As5+, Co2+ and Cu2+, making this material attractive for ...
