Transient Stiffness Patterning in Hydrogels Driven by Dissipative Mechanochemical Coupling
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Force‐induced disulfide bond rupture in a polymer‐based hydrogel, coupled with chemical or electrochemical reoxidation, leads to the transient modulation of the hydrogel's stiffness properties. High spatiotemporal control is achieved by this dissipative process, enabling the development of out‐of‐equilibrium stiffness patterns and transient, dose ...

Potential Use of Folate-polyethylene glycol (PEG)-Appended Dendrimer (G3) Conjugate with alpha-Cyclodextrin as DNA Carriers to Tumor Cells [PDF]
, 2011 We previously reported that polyamidoamine STARBURST dendrimer (generation 3, G3) (dendrimer) conjugate with alpha-cyclodextrin (alpha-CyD) having an average degree of substitution of 2.4 of alpha-CyD (alpha-CDE) provided remarkable aspects as novel ...

Spectroscopic direct detection of reflected light from extra-solar planets [PDF]
, 2013 At optical wavelengths, an exoplanet's signature is essentially reflected light from the host star - several orders of magnitude fainter. Since it is superimposed on the star spectrum its detection has been a difficult observational challenge.

Ultrasoft Iontronics: Stretchable Diodes Enabled by Ionically Conductive Bottlebrush Elastomers
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This work introduces a solvent‐free, ultrasoft, and stretchable ionic diode based on oppositely charged bottlebrush elastomers (BBEs). The BBE diode exhibits an ultralow Young's modulus (<23 kPa), a high rectification ratio of 46, and stretchability over 400%.

The Preparation and Characterization of Immobilized TiO2/PEG by Using DSAT as a Support Binder
, 2016 Immobilized TiO2 was prepared by adding a small composition of polyethylene glycol (PEG) as a binder, and this paper reported for the very first time the formation of C=O from oxidized PEG, which acted as an electron injector in enhancing photoactivity ...

A Universal Biomimetic Approach for Making Artificial Antigen‐Presenting Cells for T Cell Activation
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This study shows a biomimetic silica microcapsule (SMC) fabrication method under mild conditions for making artificial antigen‐presenting cells (aAPCs). Inspired by marine biomineralization, peptide‐mediated biosilicification enables silica shell formation on emulsion templates. The resulting SMCs possess a core–shell structure, controlled fluorescence

Dual-targeted polyplexes based on sequence-defined peptide-PEG-oligoamino amides.
Journal of Pharmacy and Science, 2015 For active cell targeting, viruses frequently capitalize on dual-receptor binding. With the intention to mimic this natural process, a dual peptide-based approach for targeting cancer cells was evaluated.
