Control of osmotic pressure through CO ₂ -capture and release facilitated by the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) phase transition of acylated branched polyethylenimine

RSC Advances, 2016
A solution of acylated polyethylenimine absorbs CO 2 at low temperatures and draws water from high-salt saline due to the high osmotic pressure, while it liberates CO 2 after phase separation by mild heating and releases water into low-salt saline.

Self‐Driving Laboratory Optimizes the Lower Critical Solution Temperature of Thermoresponsive Polymers

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
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‐

4D Materials of Tough and Rapid Thermoresponsive Hydrogel by PET‐RAFT Polymerization

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
NIPAm‐containing bilayer hydrogels using a novel hydrogel formation method utilizing oxygen‐tolerant PET‐RAFT polymerization to investigate their temperature‐responsive behavior. The material properties strongly depend on NIPAm concentration and polymer density. Finally, we demonstrated a model gripper with optimized compositions.

Linear Viscoelastic Behavior of n‐Alkane Diluted Polyethylene Melts: Sorption, Desorption, and Oscillatory Rheometry

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
This study systematically maps polyolefin dilution dynamics using a homologous series of n‐alkanes. Integrating gravimetric sorption, subsequent controlled desorption, and oscillatory rheometry establishes a precise framework to analyze reduction in viscosity at least for polymer diluent mixtures with polymer concentration > 35% and diluent ...

Process Optimization of Solution Blow Spinning for Poly (N‐Isopropylacrylamide) Fibers

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Solution blow spinning has emerged as a safe and scalable technique for fabricating thermoresponsive PNIPAM fibers. The influence of key parameters on jet stability and fiber uniformity is determined through both rheological analysis and statistical process optimization. A Box–Behnken design reveals an optimized window for producing PNIPAM fibers below

Infrared Laser Heating Reveals a Reversible Phase Transition of Phosphofructokinase 1 in Mammalian Cells

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
In this study, we present a novel method to investigate the phase behavior of biomolecular condensates in living cells. The method complements FRAP experiments, expanding the existing toolbox for characterization of condensates within living cells. ABSTRACT Metabolic enzymes can operate in concerted networks, so‐called metabolons.
