Bacteria‐Responsive Nanostructured Drug Delivery Systems for Targeted Antimicrobial Therapy

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Bacteria‐responsive nanocarriers are designed to release antimicrobials only in the presence of infection‐specific cues. This selective activation ensures drug release precisely at the site of infection, avoiding premature or indiscriminate release, and enhancing efficacy.

Highly Entangled Bottlebrush Polymer Networks

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Bottlebrush polymers are difficult to entangle, enabling ultrasoft yet brittle networks. We report highly entangled bottlebrush elastomers that remain ultrasoft (∼1 kPa) yet stretch to ∼1800% and exhibit exceptional fatigue resistance. Their intrinsic fatigue strength—fatigue threshold normalized by modulus—surpasses that of highly entangled linear ...

Production of high water-absorbing resin through irradiation-catalyzed graft copolymerization of mung bean straw cellulose: synthesis and characterization

Science and Engineering of Composite Materials
To procure environmentally – friendly and sustainable super-absorbent polymers (SAP), a concurrent irradiation approach utilizing 60Co γ-rays is employed to graft acrylic acid (AA) and acrylamide (AM) onto mung bean straw cellulose (MBS-cellulose). Using

Recent Advances in Ferrite‐Based Materials for Biomedical Applications: A Comprehensive Review

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Ferrite nanoplatforms are presented as tunable biomedical materials in which synthesis control, cation engineering, defect/morphology regulation, and surface functionalization govern structure–property–bioactivity relationships. These design strategies enable multifunctional applications including MRI contrast, magnetic hyperthermia, targeted drug ...

Acrylonitrile Block and Graft Copolymers [PDF]

Pure and Applied Chemistry, 1976
Abstract This paper presents a review of the methods available for preparing block and graft copolymers in which one component is acrylonitrile. Methods using polymer ions and polymer radicals are considered together with a useful new technique based on reactions of nitrile groups with amide compounds of group IV transition metals.

From Fiber Bundles to Architected Membranes: Triply Periodic Minimal Surface Architectures for Biohybrid Artificial Lungs

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Additively manufactured triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) membranes offer an architecture‐driven alternative to hollow fiber bundles in artificial lungs. Multiphysics simulations and endothelialized prototypes show that the 3D‐printable membrane architecture improves gas exchange, blood flow distribution, and hemocompatibility, enabling ...
