Highly Entangled Bottlebrush Polymer Networks

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Bottlebrush polymers are difficult to entangle, enabling ultrasoft yet brittle networks. We report highly entangled bottlebrush elastomers that remain ultrasoft (∼1 kPa) yet stretch to ∼1800% and exhibit exceptional fatigue resistance. Their intrinsic fatigue strength—fatigue threshold normalized by modulus—surpasses that of highly entangled linear ...

Effects of Mucilage on Rhizosphere Hydraulic Functions Depend on Soil Particle Size

Vadose Zone Journal, 2018
Mucilage secreted by roots alters hydraulic properties of soil close to the roots. Although existing models are able to mimic the effect of mucilage on soil hydraulic properties for specific soils, it has not yet been explored how the effects of mucilage

High‐Performance Bio‐Glue From the Berries of a Parasitic Plant

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
We report a fully bio‐based adhesive derived primarily from a (poly)saccharide extract obtained from the berries of the hemi‐parasitic plant mistletoe (Viscum album), supplemented with tannic and malic acid without any further chemical functionalization.

Genetic basis of the mucilage secretion ability associated with nitrogen fixation from aerial roots of maize inbred lines under low nitrogen conditions

Crop Journal
Recent studies have shown that mucilage secretion from aerial roots is an essential feature of modern maize inbred lines, with some retaining the nitrogen-fixing capabilities of ancient landraces.

Sustainable and Multifunctional Natural Macromolecular Polymers for Aqueous Zn Metal Batteries

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
We comprehensively review the structure‐function relationships and regulatory mechanism of natural macromolecular polymers in stabilizing zinc anodes at the microscopic and mesoscopic scales. The interactions among polymer structures, optimization strategies, and regulatory mechanisms are discussed systematically summarizing recent related research ...

Effect of adding mucilage from Opuntia ficus-indica and Opuntia atropes to raw milk on mesophilic aerobic bacteria and total coliforms

Nova Scientia, 2016
Raw milk is one of the most important food for human consumption, particularly for small dairy farms who produce milk either self-consumption or to sell it to local artisanal cheese makers; due to the elevate risk of contamination by pathogenic bacteria,

Plant mucilages. XXV. Isolation and structural features of a mucilage, "abelmoschus-mucilage G," from the roots of Abelmoschus glutinotextilis.

Chemical and Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 1980
A representative mucilage, named Abelmoschus-mucilage G, has been isolated from the roots of Abelmoschus glutinotextilis KAGAWA. The final preparation was homogeneous as determined by ultracentrifugal analysis, cellulose acetate membrane electrophoresis, and gel chromatography. Its water solution gave the high intrinsic viscosity value of 52.8.

Maskless Fabrication of PLA‐Based Neural Arrays for CNS Recording and Stimulation

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Biodegradable neural interfaces enable bidirectional communication with the CNS. Through electrochemical characterization, ageing tests with impedance monitoring, and in vivo validation, we assess the performance of PLA‐based epicortical and spinal implants.

High Quality MoS2 Layered Thin Films Obtained by Ionized Jet Deposition Investigated by X‐ray Absorption Spectroscopy at S L2,3 and Mo M2,3 Edges

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Soft x‐ray absorption spectroscopy at the S L2,3 and Mo M2,3 edges reveals synthesis‐dependent electronic and structural order in MoS2. Bulk, exfoliated, and CVD samples show well‐resolved 2D features, while as‐deposited IJD films appear amorphous but crystallize into ordered 2H‐MoS2 upon moderate annealing, confirming IJD as a viable low‐temperature ...
