Preferential Interfacial Engineering of Hydrogels via Interdigitated Nanoparticle Assembly

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Robust surface functionalization of hydrogel surfaces is performed via interdigitated metal nanoparticle assembly, inducing strong affinity with the hydrogel matrix. The partially exposed nanoparticle domains act as interfacial nanobridges that mediate both chemical and physical bonding with diverse materials, including small molecules, fluorous ...

Effect of High Temperatures on Fire-Retardant-Modified Spruce and Beech Wood: Thermal Analysis, Heat Transfer, Chemical Composition, and Physical Properties

Fire
Potassium silicate is used as an inorganic fire-retardant treatment for wood, but its effect on the short-term thermal response of different species under combined temperature–moisture conditions remains insufficiently described.

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 ...

Directing oat groat heat treatment conditions towards increased protein extractability

Current Research in Food Science
Oat-based liquid and semi-solid dairy alternatives require extractable proteins for nutritional and technological purposes. However, oats are industrially heat treated (‘kilned’) to inactivate endogenous lipases thereby avoiding rancidity development ...

CO2‐to‐CO Conversion in a Gas‐Fed, Zero‐Gap, PEM Electrolyzer Enabled by Polycations and Nitrogen‐Doped Carbon‐Supported Cobalt Nanoparticles

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A gas‐fed, zero‐gap, PEM CO2 electrolyzer is realized by incorporating PDDA+ ions onto the carbonaceous Co/N‐C electrocatalyst, with gaseous H2 and CO2 fed into the anode and cathode, respectively. Operating without an aqueous electrolyte, the system sustains a peak FECO of 65.1% at 100 mA cm−2. ABSTRACT Electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction (ECO2R)

Thermal pre-treatment of waste municipal sewage sludge for thermochemical valorizations: An experimental study on moisture reduction and sludge modifications

Applications in Energy and Combustion Science
SS valorization by thermochemical conversions (e.g., gasification) for power, heat or fuels production has an interesting development outlook. The literature suggests that SS moisture must be lowered below 20 wt% for conventional thermochemical ...
