Physicochemical Reinforcement Unlocks Sterilization‐Stable Anisotropic Hydrogels for Cell‐Compatible Mock Arteries

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In vitro arterial models offer ethical and robust alternatives for vascular research but require cytocompatible materials that replicate physiological mechanics. Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) hydrogels produced by directional freezing and salting‐out (PVA DFSO) are anisotropic yet lack stability for cell culture. Herein, methacrylated PVA (PVA‐MA)

Prediction and Experimental Validation of the Influence of T-Stress on I–II Mixed-Mode Fracture in Rock

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering
Traditional fracture criteria only consider the singular terms in the Williams expansion and neglect higher-order term coefficients, resulting in significant discrepancies between predicted and measured values.
