Development of a mugineic acid family phytosiderophore analog as an iron fertilizer

Nature Communications, 2021
Iron is an essential plant nutrient that is poorly bioavailable in alkaline soils, resulting in reduced agricultural productivity. Here, the authors report the synthesis of stable and cheap iron-chelator, proline-2’-deoxymugineic acid (PDMA), and ...

Construction of nested pattern matrix with large girth for PDMA systems

Electronics Letters, 2021
Abstract In this letter, a new method is proposed to construct the pattern matrix (PM) with both nested structure and large girth for pattern division multiple access (PDMA) system. The proposed method contains two steps. Firstly, by performing the Kronecker product on a cycle‐free base‐PM with overload factor , an expanded‐PM with ...

Properties of Liquid Crystalline Elastomer Foams

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Controlled foaming of liquid crystalline elastomers (LCE) with expandable microspheres creates particle‐centred mesogenic interphases that enhance viscoelastic dissipation at low bubble fractions. Under impact, optimal damping shifts to moderate porosity, balancing interphase loss, bubble compression, compliance, and integrity.

The Front‐End of Circular Innovation in Incumbent Firms

Journal of Product Innovation Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Circular Economy introduces ambiguity and complexity when developing products and services, by using materials and resources differently; innovations and related business models thus deviate markedly from those evident in the “linear economy”.

Neutron Reflectometry and Compression of Graded Hydrogel Surfaces

Advanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 13, Issue 15, 4 August 2026.
Highly‐entangled and covalently‐crosslinked hydrogels with thin and thick surface gel layers are compressed in neutron reflectometry experiments. Surface gel layer thickness dictates the extent to which the polymer network at the surface of a hydrogel collapses, while crosslinking chemistry, and therefore elastic modulus, impacts the pressure at which ...
