A Degradable Device for Sustainable Capillary Blood Sampling

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
The device features a compostable 3D‐printed storage compartment for liquid blood collection and a degradable, poly(ɛ‐caprolactone)‐coated magnesium microneedle patch hidden within a suction cup. Manual compression deploys the MNs, creating small skin punctures, and the subsequent release of compression generates the negative pressure required for ...

Toward Enhancing Chiro‐Optical and Magneto‐Optical Properties of Magnetic Nanocrystals by Surface Plasmons

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Here, recent progress is highlighted in colloidal magnetoplasmonic hybrid nanomaterials, with a focus on chiral plasmonics. Metal nanocrystals with intrinsic chiroptical features can lead to a combination of chiral plasmonics and magneto‐optics effects when interacting with the magnetic counterpart, offering a foundation for systematically designing ...

Wrinkle‐Template Confinement of Kinetically Arrested Cellulose Nanocrystals for Sustainable Large Scale Reflection Gratings

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Self‐supported all‐cellulose reflective gratings are fabricated from cellulose nanocrystal dispersions via a confinement printing process. Taking advantage of the reduced fluidity of concentrated, kinetically arrested cellulose nanocrystal dispersions, line arrays can be successfully transferred to dried CNC films.

Ultrasonic Detection of a Plastic Hinge in Bolted Timber Connections

open access: yes, 1995
Connections between structural members are critical elements that typically govern the performance of structural systems; hence, techniques for monitoring the condition of connections are needed to provide early warning of structural damage.

Competitive Bidirectional Response in Bi‐Polymeric Mechanochromic Cantilevers Toward Color Imaging‐Based VOC Discrimination

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
In bi‐polymeric mechanochromic cantilevers composed of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and off‐stoichiometry thiol‐ene‐epoxy (OSTE+), differential swelling between the two polymers in response to VOC exposure induces a competitive bidirectional bending and corresponding color changes, with three characteristic response modes related to the Hansen ...
