The mechanical performance of the laminated aluminum-epoxy/glass fiber composites containing halloysite nanotubes: An experimental investigation

Journal of Industrial Textiles, 2022
In this study, the effect of different weight percentages (wt. %) of halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) on the mechanical performance of glass laminate aluminum (Al) reinforced epoxy (GLARE) was investigated. GLARE (3/2) laminates with quasi-isotropic lay-up, [

Glare recovery in age related maculopathy [PDF]

, 1987
This study has investigated the dynamics of the glare recovery process in a group of subjects with age related maculopathy (ARM) and pre-aqe related maculopathy (PARM), and compared the results of these groups with a group of age-matched controls.

The onset of prolonged glare recovery with age

, 1989
The effects of ageing upon the recovery of contrast discrimination following exposure to a bright source of light (glare recovery) were investigated. A total of 65 subjects were tested, with a distribution of ages ranging from 16 to 79 years. Total glare

Melanin's Role in Balancing Mechanical Strength and Reproductive Output in Environmentally Stressed Fungal Spores

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Melanin content directly controls fungal spore mechanical properties, with pigmented spores achieving rupture forces two orders of magnitude higher than hyaline spores. Environmental stress drives this quantity‐quality tradeoff; stressed species invest energy in melanin‐reinforced, mechanically superior thick‐walled, super‐hydrophobic spores, while ...

Biomimetic Core–Shell Liposome Nanoparticles Deplete Lipoproteins and Enhance the Purity of Extracellular Vesicles from Human Blood

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Lipoprotein‐mimicking nanoparticles (SL‐NPs), comprising Fe3O4@SiO2 cores coated with liposomal bilayers, selectively capture lipoproteins through protein corona formation. The resulting SL‐NP‐lipoprotein complexes can be removed by low‐speed centrifugation, thereby enhancing the purity of small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) isolated from human serum ...

Impact of multifocal soft contact lenses on the shape discrimination threshold under glare in myopic children

Frontiers in Medicine
BackgroundMultifocal soft contact lenses (MFSCLs) are widely used to control myopia progression in children. However, their optical design may affect visual quality, especially under glare conditions, potentially influencing their daily visual ...

Upcycling Keratin‐Based Textile Waste Into High‐Performance Hybrid Fibers Via Tuning the Interfacial Interactions

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Keratin recovered from animal‐hair textile waste is fractionated and blended with cellulose to produce continuously spun hybrid fibers. Selecting the high‐molecular‐weight keratin fraction enables 30 wt.% keratin incorporation while maintaining high strength in dry and wet states.

Simulation Analysis of an ETC Monitoring and Imaging Supplementary Lighting Device for Freeways

Infrastructures
To address the glare issues caused by highway ETC gantry monitoring and imaging illumination devices, this paper first investigates the mechanism of disability glare and derives the formula for the glare threshold increment. Subsequently, using the glare

Engineering Concentration‐Dependent Intravitreal Mobility via Cyclic Arginine‐Enriched Nanocarrier Surface Modification: In Vivo Proof‐of‐Concept in a Porcine Large Animal Model

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
In this study, Hammer et al. highlight cyclic‐arginine surface engineering as a highly biocompatible, controllable, and concentration‐dependent regulator of intravitreal nanoparticle mobility in vivo in a translational large animal model. The cyclic arginine surface‐modification supports the development of next‐generation biomaterials for long‐acting ...
