Enhanced PDMS Functionalization for Organ‐on‐a‐Chip Platforms Using Ozone and Sulfo‐SANPAH: A Simple Approach for Biomimetic Long‐Term Cell Cultures

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
The use of organ‐on‐a‐chip (OOC) microfluidic platforms is expanding in biomedical research. While this emerging technology is becoming increasingly accessible, the stability of long‐term functional cultures remains a critical challenge to address. This study presents a straightforward, one‐step method for the functionalization of polydimethylsiloxane ...

Multiscale Laminar Flows with Turbulentlike Properties

open access: yesPhysical Review Letters, 2006
By applying fractal electromagnetic force fields on a thin layer of brine, we generate steady quasi-two-dimensional laminar flows with multiscale stagnation point topology. This topology is shown to control the evolution of pair separation (Delta) statistics by imposing a turbulentlike locality based on the sizes and strain rates of hyperbolic ...

Designing for Degradation: Transient Devices Enabled by (Nano)Cellulose

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Recent progress in transient devices enabled by (nano)cellulosic materials is reviewed. Transiency mechanisms, advantages of nanocelluloses, and a suite of applications are discussed. A circular thinking approach coupled with life cycle assessment is applied to critically revisit the potential, advantages, and challenges of nanocellulose‐enabled ...

Laminar-Turbulent Patterning in Transitional Flows [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy, 2017
Wall-bounded flows experience a transition to turbulence characterized by the coexistence of laminar and turbulent domains in some range of Reynolds number R, the natural control parameter. This transitional regime takes place between an upper threshold R t above which turbulence is uniform (featureless) and a lower threshold R g below ...

Pushing Radiative Cooling Technology to Real Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Radiative cooling controls surface optical properties for solar and thermal radiation, offering solutions for global warming and energy savings. Despite significant advances, key challenges remain: optimizing optical efficiency, maintaining aesthetics, preventing overcooling, enhancing durability, and enabling scalable production.

A Bio‐Inspired Perspective on Materials Sustainability

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This perspective discusses natural materials as inspiration for sustainable engineering designs and the processing of materials. First, circularity, longevity, parsimony, and activity are presented as essential material paradigms. The perspective then uses many examples of natural and technical materials to introduce principles such as oligo ...
