Over 95% Optical Reflectance From Structurally Modulated All‐Biopolymer Multilayers
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.A new dense–porous design turns ordinary polysaccharides into highly reflective photonic multilayers. Alternating dense pectin and porous cellulose nanofiber layers create strong refractive‐index contrast without inorganic or synthetic polymers, enabling nearly perfect visible reflection, high near‐infrared reflection, broadband metallic‐like colors ...

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.Amphiphilic non‐isocyanate polyurethane (NIPU) coatings containing reactive hydrophobic poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) and hydrophilic methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) (MPEG) prepolymers for marine antifouling (AF) and fouling‐release (FR) applications were investigated. The coatings were evaluated with a set of representative marine foulants.

Control of Bacterial Attachment on Macroporous PDMS/Paraffin SLIPS With Varying Lubricant Viscosity
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.Slippery liquid‐infused porous surfaces (SLIPS) prepared from macroporous PDMS, infused with medical‐grade paraffins, were systematically investigated regarding the correlation of viscosity, surface corrugation, bulk porosity, and bacterial resistance. Substrate porosity was found to dominate lubricant stabilization and the antifouling activity.
