Strong Fully Reprocessable Engineered Wood Composites

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Engineering a hyperbranched adhesive with complementary imine‐bond and hydrogen‐bond networks, combining it with wood particles to fabricate the wood composite (WP/HTP) under mild hot‐pressing conditions. The WP/HTP exhibits 100% mechanical strength recovery after three cycles of reprocessing, and the reprocessed modulus of rupture (MOR) and modulus of

Photocatalytic Water Splitting on the Lunar Surface: Prospects for In Situ Resource Utilization

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Water has been found in craters on the moon nearby locations which are illuminated >80% of the time. Photocatalysis uses energy from sunlight to drive chemical reactions such as water splitting to produce oxygen and hydrogen. It is a scalable technology that requires lighter equipment and utilizes resources available on the moon. ABSTRACT The discovery

Where Precursor Loading Stops Making a Difference: Resolving an Operational Infiltration Limit for Nanoparticle Synthesis Using Dual Quantification of Reverse Micelle Nanoreactors

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
A dual characterization strategy combining nanomechanical and mass measurements resolves a common operational loading threshold in reverse micelle nanoreactors. This transferable framework provides a rational strategy for optimizing precursor loading and nanoparticle synthesis, across template‐mediated fabrication systems.
