Effect of Ammonium Polyphosphate/Silicate Content on the Postfire Mechanics of Epoxy Glass‐Fiber Composites Using Facile Chocolate Bar‐Inspired Structures

Fire and Materials, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 329-346, April 2025.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the postfire mechanical properties of epoxy glass‐fiber reinforced composites (EP GFRCs) using increasing concentrations of ammonium polyphosphate (APP) and inorganic silicate (InSi) to modify the char and fire residue.

Low‐temperature soft electrochemical actuator based on hierarchically structured polypyrrole membranes for subzero operation

FlexMat, EarlyView.
A soft electrochemical actuator using a hierarchically structured polypyrrole membrane with coral‐like hollow vesicles achieves stable performance at −24°C. The unique architecture ensures continuous conductivity and rapid ion diffusion, resulting in large strain, low energy consumption, and high coulombic efficiency under subzero conditions. This work

Impact of CYP2C19 Genotype Variants on PCSK9 Inhibitor Efficacy in Lipid‐Lowering Among Patients With Symptomatic Intracranial Atherosclerotic Stenosis

Lipids, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ischemic stroke is frequently associated with symptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (sICAS), is a leading cause of global disability and mortality. Current guidelines recommend dual antiplatelet and intensive statin therapies. Proprotein convertase subtilisin 9/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors have emerged as a potent lipid‐lowering

Development of an Insulin‐Permeable Hydrogel Membrane Based on Photocrosslinkable Poly(2‐Alkyl‐2‐Oxazoline)s

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.
Hydrogel‐based composite membranes from photocrosslinkable poly(2‐alkyl‐2‐oxazoline) layers on PET meshes are presented as an insulin‐permeable barrier in delivery platforms for potential use in wound treatment. The membrane design addresses the challenge of maintaining protein structural integrity during topical delivery through polymeric hydrogel ...

DC voltage balancing for neutral point clamped active PWM converter

International Journal of Industrial Electronics and Drives, 2015
This paper presents a unity power factor controller of three phase neutral point clamped (NPC) AC-DC PWM converter. A simplified current controlled scheme to control the DC link voltage, to ensure unity power factor operation and to control neutral point potential (NPP) of the converter is designed and developed for three-phase, three-level NPC AC-DC ...

Total X‐Ray Illumination for Absolute Quantification of Crystalline Phases and Amorphous Content in PVDF and P(VDF‐TrFE)

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.
A rigorous method, Total Illumination by X‐rays (TIX), is presented to quantify crystalline and amorphous phases in organic materials. Mitigating challenges such as low microabsorption and high amorphous content, an improved, general framework is established, applicable to polymers, MOFs, biological materials, etc.

3D Polymeric Nanonetworks: From Self‐Assembly to Advanced Fabrication

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.
This review provides the first systematic cross‐method comparison of fabrication techniques for 3D polymeric nanonetworks. It evaluates five key strategies—block copolymer self‐assembly, hyper‐crosslinking, template‐assisted methods, 3D printing, and nanolithography—across critical metrics including resolution, throughput, scalability, and material ...

Interaction Between Vortex‐Induced Vibrations and Base Vibrations in Piezoelectric Harvesters

International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the present era, powering sensors using green energy is a significant challenge. One promising solution for the power supply of small sensors relies on piezoelectric energy harvesters excited by vortex‐induced vibrations (VIVs) generated by wind.

Disarming the Hsp70–Bim Alliance: Small‐Molecule and Peptidic Disruptors of a Chaperone‐Apoptotic Switch in Cancer

ChemistryOpen, EarlyView.
Targeting a nucleotide‐sensitive groove on Hsp70 that binds the Bim BH3 helix, we integrate structures, biophysics, and SAR from peptides, fragments, and phenalene‐dicarbonitrile “wedges.” These disrupt the Hsp70–Bim complex with sub‐µM cellular engagement and in vivo activity while sparing Hsp90/mortalin.
