Patterned Screen‐Printing Process for Substrate‐Free and Scalable Hyaluronic Acid Microneedle Arrays
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.A substrate‐free microneedle array comprising a hybrid hyaluronic acid ink was fabricated via a scalable screen‐printing process for flexible transdermal drug delivery. Defect‐free mold filling was achieved using a vacuum‐assisted jig and a delayed drying system, and the use of this versatile platform for multi‐drug patterning and ex vivo skin ...

3D Printed Photon Shield Assembly for Low‐Noise Visual Stimulation During Two‐Photon Imaging in Mice
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.We present the Photon Shield, an open‐hardware system for low‐noise two‐photon calcium imaging during visual stimulation in mice. Combining a 3D‐printed headplate and rail‐mounted shield substantially reduces stray‐light contamination, as quantitatively verified. Functional validation confirms reliable cortical responses. Open design files enable broad

An ex vivo comparative study of the tensile strengthening efficacy of protein-derived actives on heavily bleached hair [PDF]
, 2014 The damaging effects of oxidative bleaching are most evident in hair which has been lightened from dark shades to platinum blonde. Whilst conventional conditioning agents effectively manage cuticular damage, the reversal of cortical weakening of hair ...

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Graphical abstract illustrating the fabrication of Ni–P–O–C porous carbon microlattice electrodes by DLP printing of Ni/P precursor‐containing resin followed by high‐temperature carbonization. The resulting conductive microlattice acts directly as the HER cathode in alkaline electrolyte, where in situ formed Ni–P–O–C interfaces provide active sites for
