Exploring 3D Printing and Electrospinning Technologies for Advanced Porous Membrane Fabrication: A Review

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This paper contrasts electrospinning and 3D printing for porous membrane fabrication, evaluating their evolution, cost, resolution, mechanical traits, and scalability. While 3D printing excels in material diversity and industrial adaptability, electrospinning achieves finer resolution and thermal resilience.

A cost-effective method to quantify biological surface sediment reworking [PDF]

, 2013
We propose a simple and inexpensive method to determine the rate and pattern of surface sediment reworking by benthic organisms. Unlike many existing methods commonly used in bioturbation studies, which usually require sediment sampling, our approach is ...

Dynamic Structural Colors in Cholesteric Cellulose Composites: Achieving Spatial and Temporal Control

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
By combining static and time‐resolved optical, structural, and rheological techniques, we demonstrate that the blue‐shift upon solidification of ethyl cellulose‐acrylic acid mesophases corresponds to the reorientation of cholesteric domains. Modulating the mesophase chain mobility and photopolymerization reaction kinetics enables solid chiral nematic ...

Optimization of ZnGa2O4:Cr3+ Nanoparticles Synthesis Exhibiting Persistent Luminescence for Nanoplastic Labelling and Imaging in Daphnia Magna

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
ZnGa2O4:Cr3+ nanoparticles with persistent luminescence are synthesized and optimized for labeling microplastics via cryomilling. The solvothermal method provides superior optical properties, enabling background‐free imaging. These luminescent particles are successfully used to trace microplastic uptake and distribution in Daphnia magna, offering a ...

Diazotrophs and N2-Fixation Associated With Particles in Coastal Estuarine Waters

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Putative heterotrophic bacteria carrying out N2-fixation, so-called non-cyanobacterial diazotrophs (NCDs), are widely distributed in marine waters, but details of how the O2-inhibited N2-fixation process is promoted in the oxic water column remains ...
