Thermally Activated Swelling and Wetting Transition of Frozen Polymer Brushes:a New Concept for Surface Functionalization

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
A novel approach is introduced that leverages polymer phase transitions to modulate brush behavior. The oleophilic bottle brush system exhibits two distinct melting transitions—bulk and surface—enabling a two‐stage swelling and wetting transition.

Amplified Sensitivity in SERS Detection of L1CAM With Silver Plasmonic Mesoporous Silica Capsules on an Imprinted Films

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This study presents core‐shell Au‐Ag NPs and a novel molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP)‐based material targeting L1CAM. Thionine is used as a monomer to create the MIP on a carbon screen‐printed electrode. Functionalized Au‐AgNCs with Raman reporter 4‐mercaptobenzoic acid and anti‐L1CAM enable selective detection via surface‐enhanced Raman scattering ...

Energy Transfer from the Liquid Crystal Bulk to the Surface Enables Dynamic Topographies via Anisotropic Plasticized Networks

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Surface topographical deformation is enhanced in liquid crystal polymer/oligomer network coatings by integrating nonreactive liquid crystal 5CB as a plasticizer, which facilitates the creation of dynamic polymer‐based solid optical devices. Abstract Surfaces with dynamic topographies play a pivotal role in modern technology by providing adaptable ...

Nanoengineering of Chitosan Sponges Via Atomic Layer Deposition of ZnO for Water Remediation Technologies

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Chitosan sponges are modified with ZnO through atomic layer deposition (ALD) to enhance water remediation. Characterization reveals the growth of defective ZnO, which improves the water stability of the sponges. The material's effectiveness is demonstrated through the removal of Direct Blue 78 dye and the photocatalytic degradation of Naproxen ...
