Leaftronics: Bio‐Fractal Scaffolds From Leaf Venation for Low‐Waste Electronics

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
“Leaftronics” transforms naturally evolved leaf venation into quasi‐fractal scaffolds for sustainable electronics. Polymer‐infiltrated leaf skeletons can be used to fabricate ultra‐smooth, reflow‐ and thin‐film‐compatible decomposable substrates, while making the same lignocellulose networks conducting results in flexible transparent electrodes.

Strong Fully Reprocessable Engineered Wood Composites

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Engineering a hyperbranched adhesive with complementary imine‐bond and hydrogen‐bond networks, combining it with wood particles to fabricate the wood composite (WP/HTP) under mild hot‐pressing conditions. The WP/HTP exhibits 100% mechanical strength recovery after three cycles of reprocessing, and the reprocessed modulus of rupture (MOR) and modulus of

Biomass DNA: An Emerging Building Block for Advanced Materials

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Biomass DNA is rapidly emerging from its traditional role as a genetic blueprint to serve as a versatile abundant, highly programmable polymeric building block. This review highlights the transformation of macroscopic bulk biomass DNA into next generation of functional materials, spanning from dynamic hydrogels, sustainable bioplastics, and high ...

Soft Robotic Excretory Care Simulator for Nursing Education: Functional and Perceptual Biomimetics Approach

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A soft robotic simulator is developed to replicate the digital removal of feces (DRF), a sensitive yet essential nursing procedure. Integrating soft actuators, sensors, and a realistic rectal model, the simulator balances functional fidelity with perceptual realism. Engineering evaluations and nurse feedback confirm its potential to enhance training in

Differences in Soil Fauna Communities and Vertical Heterogeneity Between Winter Pre-Sealing and Sealing Periods in Plastic Greenhouse Vineyards

Agriculture
When cold waves occur in winter, the entire vineyard greenhouse is completely covered with plastic film to improve heat insulation. However, differences in vertical stratification of soil faunal communities between pre-sealing (PSP) and sealing periods ...

On the Heat Loss Coefficient of Plastic Greenhouse

Journal of Agricultural Meteorology, 1970
The primary purpose of this study was to establish a heat loss coefficient (k) whereby calculations of heat requirements could be made for greenhouses.The formula calculating heat requirements for greenhouses is described as follows:Q=kAw(Ti-T0), where, Q=heat required, Kcal/hr, k=heat loss coefficient, Kcal/m2hr°C, Aw=exposed surface area, m2, Ti ...
