Mechanical Behavior and Fracture Mechanisms of MXene/PVDF Nanocomponsites: In Situ Characterization and Multiscale Analysis

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Multiscale experiments and modeling reveal how Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets reinforce PVDF nanocomposites. An optimal MXene loading (∼1 wt.%) nearly doubles tensile strength through efficient stress transfer, flake alignment, and crack‐deflection mechanisms, transforming ductile polymer behavior into a controlled multi‐stage fracture pathway which aligns ...

Microenvironmental Reprogramming by 3D Anisotropic Cardiac Extracellular Matrix Induces Nuclear Remodeling and Epigenetic Maturation of Chemically Induced Cardiomyocytes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A 3D anisotropic hydrogel derived from heart extracellular matrix guides cytoskeletal alignment and nuclear remodeling in reprogrammed cardiomyocyte‐like cells. This study reveals how matrix alignment modulates nuclear envelope dynamics and chromatin state, triggering transcriptional and functional maturation.

Testing for Level–Degree Interaction Effects in Two-Factor Fixed-Effects ANOVA When the Levels of Only One Factor Are Ordered

Stats
In testing for main effects, the use of orthogonal contrasts for balanced designs with the factor levels not ordered is well known. Here, we consider two-factor fixed-effects ANOVA with the levels of one factor ordered and one not ordered.

On the uniqueness of balanced complex orthogonal design

Designs, Codes and Cryptography
Complex orthogonal designs (CODs) play a crucial role in the construction of space-time block codes. Their real analog, real orthogonal designs (or equivalently, sum of squares composition formula) have a long history. Adams et al. (2011) introduced the concept of balanced complex orthogonal designs (BCODs) to address practical considerations.

Comparison between response surface methodology and Taguchi method for dyeing process parameters optimization in fabric manufacturing by empirical planning

Scientific Reports
This paper presents a comparative analysis of three experimental designs—Taguchi, Box–Behnken Design (BBD), and Central Composite Design (CCD)—for optimizing process parameters in a system with four factors at three levels. The study aims to identify the

Design Strategies and Emerging Applications of High‐Performance Flexible Piezoresistive Pressure Sensors

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Flexible piezoresistive pressure sensors underpin wearable and soft electronics. This review links sensing physics, including contact resistance modulation, quantum tunneling and percolation, to unified materials/structure design. We highlight composite and graded architectures, interfacial/porous engineering, and microstructured 3D conductive networks
