Entropy‐Driven Design of Low‐Melting‐Point Alloys via Compositionally Complex Strategy

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Conventional low‐melting‐point alloys (LMPAs) are limited by a narrow compositional space and inherent property trade‐offs. This review presents an entropy‐driven design strategy that overcomes these limitations, ushering in a new class of low‐melting‐point compositionally complex alloys (LMCCAs).

Thermoresponsive intrinsically disordered protein polymers

Thermoresponsive intrinsically disordered protein polymers (TIDPPs) are a unique class of biopolymers that lack a fixed three-dimensional structure under physiological conditions and exhibit temperature-responsive behavior. These properties are primarily

Prediction of Intrinsically Disordered Protein Regions using Machine Learning Methods

, 2021
Many biologically active proteins/protein regions fail to form a stable three-dimensional structure, yet they exhibit biological functions. These proteins are called Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs), and the regions are called Intrinsically ...

Investigating the Low‐Temperature Phase Stability of the Binary Ta–W System

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Atomistic simulations show that the binary Ta–W system forms ordered intermetallic phases, B2‐TaW and D03‐TaW3, as 0 K ground states. Configurational entropy, however, lowers the free energy of the disordered bcc solid solution, which becomes the stable phase above about 400 K.

Effect of chaperones with intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) on the fibrillogenesis of A? amyloid peptide

, 2014
Molecular chaperones play essential and several roles in many cellular processes, including protein folding, targeting, transport, and are essential in fighting the consequences of protein misfolding and aggregation or enhancing disaggregation of toxic ...

Analysis of Structured and Intrinsically Disordered Regions of Transmembrane Proteins

, 2009
Integral membrane proteins display two major types of transmembrane structure, helical bundles and beta barrels. The main functional roles of transmembraneproteins are the transport of small molecules and cell signaling, and sometimes these two roles are

High‐Entropy Alloy Interlayers Toward Advanced Joining for High‐Performance Structural Applications: Current Progress and Emerging Challenges

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
HEA interlayers offer a versatile route for joining high‐performance structural materials. Their compositional and structural design regulates interfacial reactions, suppresses brittle IMCs, and improves metallurgical bonding. Sandwich interlayers further integrate defect healing with precipitation strengthening, enabling improved strength–ductility ...

Enhancing Low‐Temperature Performance of Sodium‐Ion Batteries via Anion‐Solvent Interactions

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
DOL is introduced into electrolytes as a co‐solvent, increasing slat solubility, ion conductivity, and the de‐solvent process, and forming an anion‐rich solvent shell due to its high interaction with anion. With the above virtues, the batteries using this electrolyte exhibit excellent cycling stability at low temperatures. Abstract Sodium‐ion batteries

Counterion Dependent Side‐Chain Relaxation Stiffens a Chemically Doped Thienothiophene Copolymer

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Oxidation of a thienothiophene copolymer, p(g3TT‐T2), via different doping strategies and dopant molecules resulted in materials with similar oxidation levels and a high electrical conductivity of ≈100 S cm−1. However, mechanical properties varied significantly, with sub‐glass transition temperatures and elastic moduli spanning from –44°C to –3°C and ...
