Laser‐Induced Graphene from Waste Almond Shells

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Almond shells, an abundant agricultural by‐product, are repurposed to create a fully bioderived almond shell/chitosan composite (ASC) degradable in soil. ASC is converted into laser‐induced graphene (LIG) by laser scribing and proposed as a substrate for transient electronics.

Compressive behaviour of metal matrix syntactic foams [PDF]

, 2012
The compressive behaviour of three different metal matrix syntactic foams (MMSFs) were investigated. The results showed that the engineering factors as the size of the used hollow spheres, the aspect ratio (height / diameter ratio) of the specimens and ...

Foam‐to‐Foam Recycling Potential of PU‐Foams by Integration of Amino Esters

Advanced Functional Materials
AbstractThe increasing market demand for flexible polyurethane foams (PUFs) is prompting the academic and industrial community to seek solutions for their end‐of‐life management. In this study, this issue is addressed by incorporating β‐amino ester (BAE) moieties into the foam structure. This addition results in flexible hybrid PU‐BAE foams that can be

Bio‐Inspired Synthesis of Macroporous Single Crystal Particles as Scattering Agents

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A general strategy is presented that delivers unique, single‐crystal microparticles that combine submicron macroporosity and uniform particle shapes. A bioinspired approach is used to occlude three distinct types of additives – polystyrene microspheres, polymer vesicles and amino acids – within calcite single crystals, and subsequent thermal annealing ...
