Colour, health and wellbeing: the hidden qualities and properties of natural dyes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
This paper addresses the questions: Is it feasible that the chemicals present in the natural dyes of both plants and insects which in the past, man has exploited for their colour, could exhibit other properties?

Biomass DNA: An Emerging Building Block for Advanced Materials

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Biomass DNA is rapidly emerging from its traditional role as a genetic blueprint to serve as a versatile abundant, highly programmable polymeric building block. This review highlights the transformation of macroscopic bulk biomass DNA into next generation of functional materials, spanning from dynamic hydrogels, sustainable bioplastics, and high ...

Development of analytical techniques for the study of natural yellow dyes in historic textiles

open access: yes
Interest in all aspects of dyestuffs has grown considerably since an informal meeting of researchers twenty years ago developed into the annual meetings of Dyes in History and Archaeology, with the journal of the same name publishing a selection of ...

Vitamin C‐Induced Photo‐Redox Threshold Enables High‐Fidelity Volumetric Printing of Collagen

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Tomographic volumetric printing (TVP) of native proteins is limited by uncontrolled background crosslinking. Here, vitamin C is introduced as a biocompatible redox regulator to establish a tunable nonlinear polymerization threshold response for TVP.

Iowa or Dye! Natural Dyes as American Craft and Horticulture [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Cultural expression reflects the multi-dimensional environment in which an individual lives and works. Art and craft function as technologies within that environment. The materials used say who we are, and how we think and feel.

Surface Functionalization Modulates Collective Cell Behavior Near Topological Defects Induced by Topographical Patterning

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Strongly adhered cells align with concentric circular ridges and exhibit predominantly tangential motion, whereas weakly adhered cells fail to follow topographical guidance and display enhanced radial inward motion. ABSTRACT Living cells establish long‐range orientational order through collective alignment, giving rise to topological defects whose ...

Amphiphilic Non‐Isocyanate Polyurethane Coatings With Tunable Antifouling and Fouling‐Release Performance: A Log‐Ratio Assessment Framework

open access: yesAdvanced 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.

Interface Dynamics in Biomolecular Condensates by High‐Speed AFM

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
High‐speed atomic force microscopy provides nanoscale structural dynamics at the liquid interface of biomolecular condensates, key elements in several cellular pathways. By addressing the challenges of low surface tension and condensate‐induced instabilities, we achieve nanometer spatial and sub‐second temporal resolution, revealing structural ...

Culinary Chemistry as a Platform for Interfacial Materials Design

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Culinary processes control interfaces through heating, shear, gelation, and molecular transport. This Review connects selected gastronomic examples with food‐derived nanomaterials, plasmonic sensing, anthocyanin photovoltaics, and intelligent packaging. Original agar‐based plasmonic films illustrate the proposed translation.
