Preparation of oligomers of β-propiolactone (β-PL) and e-caprolactone (e-CL) having reactive functional groups such as hydroxyl, carboxyl and acid chloride groups have been studied. In order to clarify the pattern of bond fission of the lactones, reactions of β-PLwith ethanol, acetic acid and acetyl chloride were carried out with or without catalysts ...

Dual Foreign Body Response Mitigation Strategies for Implantable Glucose Sensors
The foreign body response negatively impacts the analytical lifetime of implantable glucose sensors due to a heightened immune response and deposition of collagen. While nitric oxide release has shown promise as a foreign body response mitigation strategy, improvement is limited by the duration of release.

Impact of Disorder, Porosity, and Surface Chemistry of Salt Templated Carbons on Capacitance
Soft‐salt templating method allowed to obtain a series of tailored porous carbons for EDLCs. Neutral aqueous electrolytes enabled to reach 1.6 V. Linear dependence of ID/IG ratio vs. capacitance values has been proven. Active surface area related to carbon defects supported the Raman findings.
