Biomimetic Spider Silk by Crosslinking and Functionalization with Multiarm Polyethylene Glycol

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 35, Issue 15, April 10, 2025.
Bioconjugation of recombinant mini‐spidroins with multiarm polyethylene glycol (PEG) is employed to produce artificial spider silk, which can be crosslinked and chemically functionalized while maintaining a biomimetic spinning approach. The best fibers exhibit enhanced tensile strength and/or extensibility, both contributing to an increased toughness ...

Poly(1,4‐anthraquinone) as an Organic Electrode Material: Interplay of the Electronic and Structural Properties due to the Unusual Lone‐Pair‐π Conjugation

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 35, Issue 12, March 18, 2025.
In this study, the unique role of the unusual lone‐pair‐π conjugation mechanism in poly(1,4‐anthraquinone) (P14AQ) is explored as an organic electrode material. Unlike traditional π‐π interactions, P14AQ's conjugation involves lone pairs of oxygen atoms interacting with the π cloud of adjacent units, enabling stable charge transport even with minimal π‐

Equilibrium Contact Angles and Dewetting in Capillaries [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
In this work, we extend the model of contact angles that we have previously developed for sessile drops on a wetted surface to the case of a meniscus in a capillary. The underlying physics of our model describe the intermolecular forces between the fluid and the surface of the capillary that result in the formation of a thin, non-removable fluid layer ...
