Charge‐Induced Morphing Gels for Bioinspired Actuation

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces a novel electroactive actuation mechanism that enables the gel material to generate substantial and reversible shape‐changing while preserving topological and isochoric (volumetric) equivalence. The resultant morphing behaviors can mimic the movements of muscle‐driven organelles in nature, including cilia‐like beating and ...

Squaraine nanoparticles for optoacoustic imaging-guided synergistic cancer phototherapy

open access: yesNanophotonics, 2023
The unique optical properties of squaraine dyes make them promising for cancer phototheranostics, but the reported squaraines for in vivo treatments mainly rely on their photothermal effect, where monotherapy cannot achieve the desired therapeutic effect.

Frequency-dependent photothermal measurement of thermal diffusivity for opaque and non-opaque materials; Application to crystals of TIPS-pentacene [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
We propose the use of a frequency-dependent photothermal measurement as a complement to light-flash, i.e. time-dependent, measurements to determine the through-plane thermal diffusivity of small, thin samples, e.g.

Electroactive Liquid Crystal Elastomers as Soft Actuators

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Electroactive liquid crystal elastomers (eLCEs) can be actuated via electromechanical, electrochemical, or electrothermal effects. a) Electromechanical effects include Maxwell stress, electrostriction, and the electroclinic effect. b) Electrochemical effects arise from electrode redox reactions.

Folic Acid-Functionalized Black Phosphorus Quantum Dots for Targeted Chemo-Photothermal Combination Cancer Therapy

open access: yesPharmaceutics, 2019
Due to the inherent limitations, single chemo or photothermal therapies (PTT) are always inefficient. The combination of chemotherapy and PTT for the treatment of cancers has attracted a great interest during the past few years.
