Enhanced Water Harvesting on Directionally Patterned Slippery Undecylenic‐Modified Cellulose Nanoparticle Surfaces

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Bioinspired slippery surfaces combining the hydrophobic–hydrophilic patterns of beetle backs and the lubricated structure of pitcher plants enable efficient water harvesting. The patterned hydrophilic regions promote droplet nucleation and coalescence, while the infused lubricant ensures rapid droplet transport, providing a robust strategy for ...

A Modular Biosensor Platform for the Detection of Plastic Monomers and the Engineering of Promiscuous Amidases Toward Challenging Substrates

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A luciferase is used as biosensor for aldehydes, produced enzymatically from different monomeric building blocks of plastics like polyurethanes (PUs). The screening platform is used to monitor esterase, amidase, and urethanase activity and to guide the selection of enzyme variants with improved hydrolytic activities toward difficult to hydrolyze ...
