A Transparent Semicrystalline Polymer Used in Thermally Responsive Smart Window Application

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A thermally responsive smart window is fabricated based on a transparent semicrystalline polymer via copolymerizing stearyl acrylate and ethoxylated trimethylolpropane triacrylate. The high transparency is achieved by restricting the crystal domain to nanometer size via ultraviolet curing at a high temperature.

Biodegradable and Recyclable Luminescent Mixed‐Matrix‐Membranes, Hydrogels, and Cryogels based on Nanoscale Metal‐Organic Frameworks and Biopolymers

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The study presents biodegradable and recyclable mixed‐matrix membranes (MMMs), hydrogels, and cryogels using luminescent nanoscale metal‐organic frameworks (nMOFs) and biopolymers. These bio‐nMOF‐MMMs combine europium‐based nMOFs as probes for the status of the materials with the biopolymers agar and gelatine and present alternatives to conventional ...

Wood Reconfiguration Enables Broadband Blackbody in Large‐Area, Modular, Optically Welded Carbon Constructs

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Wood‐based broadband blackbody is achieved by reconfiguration of wood with lignin nanoparticles prior carbonization. Neglectable reflectivity from the visible to infrared wavelengths is obtained by combining thin nanostructures originated from the wood cell walls with long‐range microcavities in the wood lumina.

Effect of Y2O3 content on the mechanical and optical properties of zirconia-based dental ceramics [PDF]

open access: yesCerâmica
The present work aims to identify variations in the mechanical and optical properties of samples produced from ZrO2 powders containing different Y2O3 contents (3Y-TZP, 4Y-PSZ, and 5Y-PSZ) intended for applications such as dental prostheses.

Scalable Perovskite Quantum Dot Glass Nanocomposites for High‐Efficiency Luminescent Solar Concentrators

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study evaluates the scalability of PQD GNC‐based LSCs for BIPV applications. Experimental data and Monte Carlo simulations predict performance up to 1 m2, achieving a peak power conversion efficiency of 3.17%. The results confirm the viability of these LSCs for energy‐efficient building applications.

Evidence for Environmental Changes in the Submillimeter Dust Opacity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The submillimeter opacity of dust in the diffuse interstellar medium (ISM) in the Galactic plane has been quantified using a pixel-by-pixel correlation of images of continuum emission with a proxy for column density.

Solvent‐Induced Octahedral Self‐Assembly of Prussian Blue and Its Applications in Sodium‐Ion Capacitors

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study investigates the stepwise assembly process of octahedral Prussian Blue (PB) particles in glycerol. Initially, smaller cubic PB nanoparticles form and interact in the solvent. Over time, these particles undergo dissolution and reassembly, leading to the formation of well‐defined octahedral structures with minimized surface energy.

Contemporary art and financialization: Two approaches

open access: yesFinance and Society, 2016
This essay identifies two approaches to theorizing the relationship between financialization and contemporary art. The first departs from an analysis of how market logics in non-financial spheres are being transformed to facilitate financial circulation;

Hidden by graphene -- towards effective screening of interface van der Waals interactions via monolayer coating

open access: yes, 2018
Recent atomic force microscopy (AFM) experiments~[ACS Nano {\bf 2014}, 8, 12410-12417] conducted on graphene-coated SiO$_2$ demonstrated that monolayer graphene (G) can effectively screen dispersion van der Waals (vdW) interactions deriving from the ...
