Assembling a True “Olympic Gel” From over 16 000 Combinatorial DNA Rings

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Olympic gels are an elusive class of soft matter, consisting of molecular networks held together purely by mechanically interlocked rings. Their topological structure promises unique properties and functions, but their synthesis has proven notoriously difficult.

Stable Protein‐Based G‐Quadruplex‐Derived Supramolecular Bioinks as Tunable ECM‐Mimetic Constructs Assembled by Combining Non‐Covalent and Covalent Strategies

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Harnessing the synergistic interplay of supramolecular self‐assembly, under macromolecular crowding conditions, and enzymatic‐mediated covalent crosslinking toward a stable protein‐based G‐quadruplex‐derived supramolecular bioink. This bioinspired strategy enables the biofabrication of complex and tunable ECM‐mimetic constructs, providing a platform ...

A convergence formula for sound transmission loss of composite laminates based on three different shear deformation theories

Acta Acustica
The Classical Plate Theory (CPT), First-order Shear Deformation Theory (FSDT), and Third-order Shear Deformation Theory (TSDT) have been widely applied in analyzing the Sound Transmission Loss (STL) of composite laminates.

Actuation of Cell Layers in Three Dimensions

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The alignment of fibers and cells in living tissues affect their mechanical properties and functionality. In this context, one can draw an analogy between tissues and nematic liquid crystal elastomers. We explore this analogy by growing fibroblasts on 2D‐patterned substrates and observing the contraction of cell sheets upon detachment from the

Modified Bolle - Reissner Theory of Plates Including Transverse Shear Deformations

Latin American Journal of Solids and Structures
In this work, new equations for first-order shear deformation plates are deduced taking into account the kinematic assumptions of the Bolle-Reissner theory but considering the equilibrium equations in the deformed configuration for the plate.
