SOLUBILITY AND MISCIBILITY OF REFRIGERANTS R407C AND R410A WITH SYNTHETIC COMPRESSOR OILS
In this paper, solubility and low temperature miscibility of refrigerants R407C and R410A in four different commercial Polyolester (POE) lubricants, produced by the same company but with different ISO standard viscosity grade, are measured with the aim ...

Effects of Hofmeister Anions on the LCST of PNIPAM as a Function of Molecular Weight [PDF]
The effect of a series of sodium salts on the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide), PNIPAM, was investigated as a function of molecular weight and polymer concentration with a temperature gradient microfluidic device under a dark-field microscope.

Smart Bioinks for 4D Bioprinting: Requirements, Design, and Applications
Smart bioinks empower 4D‐bioprinted constructs to dynamically adapt and remodel in response to stimuli, effectively biomimicking native tissues. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) play a guiding role in their rational design by optimizing relevant properties.

Ionically Counter‐Programmable Phase‐Separation of Superstable Star‐Biopolyamide Coacervates for Electrothermally‐Responsive Pseudosolid Smart Windows [PDF]
We develop bio‐based, star‐branched polyamides from itaconic acid and cadaverine with tunable lower critical solution temperature (LCST) transitions for dynamic solar modulation. Specific metal ion coordination with pyrrolidone moieties drives precise phase transitions via calcium‐induced salting‐in and sodium‐induced salting‐out mechanisms. Formulated

Nanoscale Buried Interface Control in Silicone Hydrogels Enables a Biointerface Engineering Platform
A hydrophilic coating with controllable nanoscale thickness is applied to commercial silicone hydrogel contact lenses. By combining comprehensive multi‐modal three‐dimensional characterization with an advanced algorithm, the thickness and chemical information of these multilayered structures are resolved.

Supramolecular control over pillararene-based LCST phase behaviour
Based on the supramolecular interactions between pillar[5]arenes and ionic liquids, supramolecular control was successfully introduced into thermo-responsive systems to adjust LCST phase behaviour in water.

A low‐cost, self‐driving laboratory is developed to democratize autonomous materials discovery. Using this "frugal twin" hardware architecture with Bayesian optimization, the platform rapidly converges to target lower critical solution temperature (LCST) values while self‐correcting from off‐target experiments, demonstrating an accessible route to data‐
