Free- and Bound-Form Terpenes in Sweet Potato Peel and Their Antifungal Activity Against Aspergillus flavus-Induced Tomato Spoilage

Agronomy
Natural preservatives are gaining attention as chemical-free solutions to extend produce shelf life and prevent microbial spoilage. Therefore, sweet potato peel (SPP) was investigated as a source of antifungal bioactive compounds in this study.

PEDOT‐Based Eutectogel Electrode Arrays for Enhanced High‐Resolution Electrogastrography: Fabrication, Stability, and Wearable Performance

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Here, we present a high‐density PEDOT eutectogel electrode array for enhanced body surface gastric mapping. Silver electrodes are blade‐coated onto flexible substrates, followed by electrogelation of PEDOT:PSS and the deposition of a PEDOT:LS eutectogel.

Effectiveness of Ethylene to Prevent Shriveling Symptoms and Improve Quality of Abiu (Pouteria caimito) Fruit During Storage

AGRIVITA Journal of Agricultural Science
Abiu fruit harvested at the fully-ripe stage typically exhibits a shorter shelf life compared to those harvested at the half-ripe stage. Despite the longer shelf life, those at the half-ripe stage are more susceptible to shriveling during storage ...

Viscoelasticity‐Induced Controllable Periodic Meso‐Textures of Liquid Crystal Polymers in Additive Manufacturing

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Viscoelasticity‐driven instabilities are harnessed to create tunable, periodic textures in 3D‐printed liquid crystalline polymers. This study illustrates how processing parameters control these spontaneous meso‐scale patterns. These unique structural architectures unlock new possibilities for functional devices, ranging from photonic components to ...

Efficient NiOx Hole Transport Layers Enabled by Multifunctional MXenes for High‐Performance Tin‐Lead Perovskite Solar Cells

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
An efficient NiOx HTL is successfully prepared by introducing MXene as an additive without further surface modification to fabricate high‐performance FASn0.5Pb0.5I3 perovskite solar cells. The introduction of MXene contributes to improved conductivity of NiOx, better aligned at NiOx/perovskite interfaces, and enhanced quality of perovskite films ...
