A New Paradigm for Understanding the Rheology and Processability of Poly(p‐Phenylene Terephthalamide) Liquid‐Crystalline Solutions

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Kevlar is traditionally modeled as a rigid‐rod polymer, yet rheological behavior deviates from this assumption. The review introduces a novel “twist‐tie” entanglement theory for aramid polymer chains in the nematic liquid crystal state, providing a molecular explanation for deviations from rigid‐rod models. Understanding twist‐tie entanglement dynamics

Excellent Outcomes and High Rates of Return to Duty but a 10% Chance of Tear Progression Are Seen Following Arthroscopic Debridement Alongside Adjunctive Procedures for Articular‐Sided, Partial‐Thickness Supraspinatus Tears (Ellman Grade I) in Active‐Duty Service Members Younger Than 50 Years

Arthroscopy, Sports Medicine, and Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
Purpose To evaluate clinical outcomes and return‐to‐duty rates in active‐duty service members younger than 50 years after arthroscopic debridement of Ellman grade I, articular‐sided partial‐thickness rotator cuff tears (PT‐RCTs) of the supraspinatus.

Arthroscopic Remplissage With Knotless All‐Suture Anchors and Concomitant Bankart Repair: Technical Considerations

Arthroscopy Techniques, EarlyView.
Abstract Anterior shoulder instability is common in active patients. Traumatic dislocations may produce Bankart and Hill‐Sachs lesions that increase recurrence risk. In high‐demand individuals, isolated Bankart repair may be insufficient for off‐track or near‐track Hill‐Sachs lesions.

Bio‐Inspired Robust Non‐combustible Bioplastic with Superinsulated Energy Harvesting for Intelligent Firefighting

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
This study develops a novel non‐combustible chitosan‐based bioplastic (NCCB) via ethanol‐induced surface assembly. The material's inherent flame retardancy and thermally insulating, rough surface enable high‐performance TENGs. The NCCB‐TENG maintains stable output even when exposed to fire and exhibits dual sensitivity to temperature (25–200°C) and ...
