Engineering the Hierarchical Porosity of Granular Hydrogel Scaffolds Using Porous Microgels to Improve Cell Recruitment and Tissue Integration

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, Volume 35, Issue 12, March 18, 2025.
By fabricating and covalently assembling gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) porous microgels, a new class of granular hydrogel scaffolds with hierarchical porosity is developed. These scaffolds have a significantly higher void fraction than their counterparts made up of nonporous microgels, enhancing cell recruitment and tissue integration. This research may

Material Composition Gradient Controls the Autonomous Opening of Banksia Seed Pods in Fire‐Prone Habitats

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The seed pod valves of Australian Banksia attenuata plants are not simply bi‐layers which bend when dry. These experiments and models reveal complex mechanics, which allow seed release only after several steps of seed pod opening. Stiffness gradients prevent delamination of the valves during loading, and a shape‐memory function protects the seeds ...

Near Equivalence of Polarizability and Bond Order Flux Metrics for Describing Covalent Bond Rearrangements [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Identification of the breaking point for the chemical bond is essential for our understanding of chemical reactivity. The current consensus is that a point of maximal electron delocalization along the bonding axis separates the different bonding regimes of reactants and products.

Asymmetric propagation of electronic wave function through molecular bonding and anti-bonding states [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2011
Electron transport through molecular bridge shows novel quantum features. Propogation of electronic wave function through molecular bridge is completely different than individual atomic bridge employed between two contacts. In case of molecular bridge electronic wave propagators interfere and effect conduction through molecular bonding and anti-bonding

Mechanistic insights of the controlled release capacity of polar functional group in transdermal drug delivery system: the relationship of hydrogen bonding strength and controlled release capacity

open access: yesActa Pharmaceutica Sinica B, 2020
Background: Hydrogen bonding interaction was considered to play a critical role in controlling drug release from transdermal patch. However, the quantitative evaluation of hydrogen bonding strength between drug and polar functional group was rarely ...

Rethinking hydrogen-bond kinetics [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2013
At the fundamental level, our understanding of water hydrogen-bond dynamics has been largely built on the detailed analysis of classical molecular simulations. The latter served to develop a plethora of hydrogen bond definitions based on different properties, including geometrical distances, topology and energetics.

Enhanced Performance and Durability of Zinc–Air Batteries Utilizing W‐Doped Cobalt Pentlandite Catalysts

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A W‐doped cobalt pentlandite electrocatalyst with sulfur vacancies is synthesized, guided by DFT calculations, which modifies the d‐band center, promoting oxygen intermediate desorption and lowering the *O generation energy barrier, thus enhancing catalytic activity.
