Mimicking Block Copolymer Self‐Assembly with One‐Pot Synthesized Polyphosphoester Gradient Copolymers

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Degradable Polyphosphoester (PPE) gradient copolymers (GCPs) are synthesized via one‐pot copolymerization. We show that GCPs self‐assemble into nanostructures like polymersomes, effectively mimicking the behavior of traditional BCPs. The gradient strength is key, with softer gradients favoring micelles.

Numerical Investigation on the Flame Characteristics of Lean Premixed Methane Flame Piloted with Rich Premixed Flame

Energies
The introduction of the pilot flame can stabilize the lean premixed flame and promote its industrial application. However, the interaction mechanism between the pilot and main flames is complicated.

Coagulative Granular Hydrogels with an Enzyme Catalyzed Fibrin Network for Endogenous Tissue Regeneration

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Coagulative granular hydrogels are composed of packed thrombin‐functionalized microgels that catalyze the conversion of fibrinogen into a secondary fibrin network, filling the interstitial voids. This bio‐inspired approach stabilizes the biomaterial to match the robustness of bulk hydrogels without compromising injectability, mimicking the initial ...

Strontium‐Containing Bioactive Glass Nanoparticles Stimulate Osteogenesis and Suppress Osteoclast Formation in Co‐Culture

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Spherical bioactive glass nanoparticles containing strontium inhibit osteoclast differentiation and activity, but promote osteoblast activity in osteoblast‐osteoclast in vitro co‐culture. The nanoparticles could be used for the treatment of osteoporosis.

Dual‐Functional Polyphosphoesters for Gene Delivery: Synergistic Effects of Guanidinium and Hydrophobic Side Chains in Degradable Polymers

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents guanidinium‐ and indole‐functionalized polyphosphoesters as degradable, non‐viral gene delivery vectors. Through precise tuning of charge density and hydrophobicity, these polymers form stable polyplexes with low toxicity. Remarkably, minor structural changes yield up to 200‐fold differences in transfection efficiency, highlighting ...

CFD Modelling of Flame Stretch in SI Engines

Energy Procedia, 2015
AbstractThe flame stretch is a phenomenon that affects the combustion initial stage in premixed charge Spark-Ignition (SI) engines with consequences on the laminar burning velocity, so its correct description is fundamental to predict the further turbulent flame development.In the context of a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) investigation, two ...

Mixed‐Metal Promotion in a Manganese‐Molybdenum Oxynitride as Catalyst to Integrate C─C and C─N Coupling Reactions for the Direct Synthesis of Acetonitrile from Syngas and Ammonia

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Transition metal oxy/carbo‐nitrides show great promise as catalysts for sustainable processes. A Mn‐Mo mixed‐metal oxynitride attains remarkable performance for the direct synthesis of acetonitrile, an important commodity chemical, via sequential C─N and C─C coupling from syngas (C1) and ammonia (N1) feedstocks.
