Cellulose‐Nanocrystal‐Promoted Underwater Superoleophobic Wrinkles on Hydrogel Surfaces

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Cellulose nanocrystals are assembled on the hydrogel surface by electrophoresis to form a wrinkled structure, creating superoleophobic surfaces that act as an antifouling surface in water. Abstract The surfaces of hydrogels need to be modified to endow them with antifouling properties in water.

Comparative Analysis of Mechanical Properties of Arolium and Euplantulae in Medauroidea extradentata (Phasmatodea), Using In Vivo Atomic Force Microscopy, Supports Functional Specialization of both Types of Attachment Pads

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Stick insects use two different types of smooth attachment pads for locomotion, the pretarsal arolium for adhesion and tarsal euplantulae for friction. With atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements on these pads on living and conscious insects, this work demonstrates that each pad exhibits distinct material properties aligned with its function.

Self‐Cleaning Dual‐Scale Heterostructured Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) Sheet With Anti‐Icing and UV Resistant Functionalities

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
By integrating a thermal engraving method with polymer modification through reversible addition‐fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization to introduce fluorinated functional groups, micro‐nano superhydrophobic PET surfaces are prepared. These newly developed surfaces demonstrate outstanding water repellency and effective removal of both water ...

Thermal Resistance of 1D Micron‐Wide Interface Under External Force Modulation

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
A novel TET‐based technique is developed to characterize the interfacial thermal resistance at the microscale. The interfacial thermal resistance is measured at ≈1200–1400 mK/W for natural contact. Externally applied force reduces the thermal resistance dramatically down to ≈125 mK/W.

Transparent, Sprayable Plastic Films for Luminescent Down‐Shifted‐Assisted Plant Growth

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, Volume 10, Issue 6, March 18, 2025.
Spreading the light: A modular approach to down‐shifting europium‐containing polyoxotitanium luminescent cages is developed, allowing their incorporation into sprayable plastic coatings on agricultural greenhouses for accelerated plant growth. Abstract The world's steadily growing population and global heating due to climate change are a threat to food

Targeted Local Delivery via Fiber‐Embedded Flexible Microchannels Integrated with Film‐Based Implantable Probes

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
In this study, a fiber‐embedded drug delivery channel for implantable microprobes, demonstrating the first functional drug delivery system using flexible LCP‐based probes, is developed. The design incorporates fibers for site‐selective drug delivery and electrical functions. The utilization of monolithic thermal bonding simplifies fabrication.
