Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Flexible piezoresistive pressure sensors underpin wearable and soft electronics. This review links sensing physics, including contact resistance modulation, quantum tunneling and percolation, to unified materials/structure design. We highlight composite and graded architectures, interfacial/porous engineering, and microstructured 3D conductive networks

Digestive enzymes of vine weevil (Otiorhynchus sulcatus) as potential targets for insect control strategies. [PDF]
, 2002 Over the previous quarter century the vine weevil (Otiorhynchus sulcatus) has become a pest of horticultural and agricultural plants. The vine weevil is a polyphagous coleopteran insect and is able to attack over one hundred different plant species.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.An original method is presented for producing artificial spider silk fibers with magnetic and magnetomechanical responsiveness, which consists in coating them with a nanometer‐thick layer of FeCo alloy by sputtering deposition. The challenge of combining organic materials and inorganic magnetic nanostructures is addressed, thus taking a step forward ...

3D Printing Innovations in Polymeric Porous and Patterned Architecture
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Polymeric foams occupy a unique structural space between dense solids and open networks, where engineered void fraction governs mechanical compliance, thermal resistance, and mass transport. Additive manufacturing now enables precise spatial control over cellular architecture, unlocking designer foam structures across applications spanning crash ...

The Future of Pyrethroids in Insect Control
Annual Review of Entomology, 1978 The more stable synthetic pyrethroids, the main subject of this review, are based on the earlier natural and synthetic pyrethroids, but differ so markedly from them in properties and activity as to constitute a new class of insecticides. The value of residual films of contact insecticides was fi rst demonstrated in 1935 (114) by the successful control ...

Shellac‐Mediated Assembly of Nanoparticles for mRNA Delivery
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.A shellac‐mediated nanoparticle assembly strategy is presented, involving the complexation of mRNA and low‐molecular‐weight cationic molecules (e.g., polyethyleneimine, chitosan, lipids, and poly‐l‐lysine), followed by capping with shellac. This nanoparticle platform enables mRNA transfection following intravenous injection and facilitates gene editing
