Multifunctional Microstructured Surfaces by Microcontact Printing of Reactive Microgels

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Reactive poly(N‐vinylcaprolactam‐co‐glycidyl methacrylate) microgels are used as functional inks to create surface‐grafted arrays on glass via microcontact printing. The patterns (10–50 µm widths and spacings) enable stable binding and post‐functionalization with dyes and peptides.

Water consumption contributes to maternal PFAS exposure: From source to metabolic perturbations

Environment International
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are widespread persistent pollutants and pose a risk to human health. However, the transfer efficiencies (TEs) of PFAS from source water into maternal serum, and its metabolic pathways linking PFAS exposure and ...

Region‐to‐Region Unidirectional Connection In Vitro Brain Model for Studying Directional Propagation of Neuropathologies

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A unidirectional cerebral organoid–organoid neural circuit is established using a microfluidic platform, enabling controlled directional propagation of electrical signals, neuroinflammatory cues, and neurodegenerative disease–related proteins between spatially separated organoids.

Design of Efficient and Mechanically Robust Anion Exchange Membrane for Water Electrolysis Achieved by Chemically Crosslinked Elastomers using Polyfluorene‐Based Conjugated Polymers

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
High‐performance SEBS‐PFB AEM is developed by crosslinking SEBS‐amine with polyfluorene‐based crosslinker containing benzene spacer. With the superior electrochemical and mechanical properties, SEBS‐PFB enabled an AEMWE single cell to achieve a high current density of 14.0 A cm−2 at 2.0 V and 80 °C in 1 m KOH, using a PtRu/C cathode and Ni2Fe anode ...

Recycling of paper, cardboard and its PFAS in Norway

Journal of Hazardous Materials Letters
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been used in paper products since the 1960s. PFAS emissions during the life cycle of these products have been substantial sources of these substances to the environment.

Quantum finite automata: A modern introduction

, 2014
We present five examples where quantum finite automata (QFAs) outperform their classical counterparts. This may be useful as a relatively simple technique to introduce quantum computation concepts to computer scientists.

Analysis of the Electrochemical Stability of Sulfide Solid Electrolyte Dry Films for Improved Dry‐Processed Solid‐State Batteries

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
An adapted processing for solvent‐free argyrodite solid electrolyte films based on insights into degradation mechanisms of the widely used binder polytetrafluoroethylene is presented. By adapting the dry film processing, long‐term cycling in Si||NMC pouch cells is demonstrated over more than 1000 cycles with a capacity retention of more than 80%, and ...
