Crystallization in Poly(Ethylene Oxide) Thin Films: Roles of Shear, Confinement, and Homoepitaxy

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
A comprehensive three‐mechanism framework governing PEO crystallization orientation in thin films was established using GIWAXS and molecular‐level PM‐IRRAS analysis. We demonstrate systematic switching between shear‐induced edge‐on and confinement‐ or homoepitaxy‐induced flat‐on alignment.

Direct extraction of functional whitened lignocellulose from wood via isocyanate modification in water–ethanol mixture

Polymer International, EarlyView.
Direct extraction of lignocellulose from wood derivatives was achieved by introducing a bulky isocyanate substituent to lignin in a water–ethanol mixture. This process exploits the tunable solvent affinity of lignin to achieve its whitening, enabling the isolation of lignocellulose.

Unraveling Structure‐Dependent Performance of Cu–N–C Molecular Catalysts for Electrocatalytic CO2 Methanation

Small, EarlyView.
Copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) and copper tetraphenylporphyrin (CuPr) both contain Cu–N4 sites, yet CuPc shows superior CO2‐to‐CH4 selectivity. Further analysis suggests that the Pc‐macrocycle tunes the electronic structure of Cu center and induces charge transfer, possibly via its π‐conjugated Pc‐ring and bridge‐N environment.

Early Intervention Effects and Risk Factors for Residual Skin Changes in Infantile Hemangiomas

The Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Infantile hemangioma (IH) characteristically progresses through proliferative, involuting, and involuted phases, and typically undergoes spontaneous regression after the age of five. Therefore, the traditional management strategy has been based on a “wait‐and‐see policy”.
