Liquid‐Crystal‐Based Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface for 7 GHz Mobile Communication

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
The glass‐based liquid‐crystal reconfigurable intelligent surface (LC‐RIS) integrates active‐matrix driving and blind‐greedy phase optimization within a 5G‐NR OFDM framework. This enables continuously tunable and autonomous enhancement of wireless coverage. Leveraging the transparency and manufacturability of liquid crystal panels, it is ideally suited

Indoor bioaerosol dynamics [PDF]

Indoor Air, 2014
Inhaling indoor air is the primary means by which humans are exposed to bioaerosols. Considering bacteria, fungi, and viruses, this study reviews the dynamic processes that govern indoor concentrations and fates of biological particulate material. Bioaerosol behavior is strongly coupled to particle size; this study emphasizes the range 0.1-10 μm in ...

Linking Polyelectrolyte Modification and Enzyme‐Catalyzed Phenolic Acid Functionalization of Cellulose Fiber for Functional Foams

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Cellulose fibers functionalized using cationic poly(Dimethyldiallylammonium chloride) (polyDADMAC) and laccase‐mediated ferulic acid system are processed into foams using different surfactants (Anionic, cationic, and non‐ionic). Fiber–surfactant interactions influence foam stabilization and porous structure formation during convective drying, producing
