Anisotropic, Strong, and Thermally Insulating 3D‐Printed Nanocellulose–PNIPAAM Aerogels
Small Structures, 2023 Cellulose is a promising candidate for the fabrication of superinsulating materials, which would be of great interest for thermal management applications as well as for the scientific community. Until now, the production of strong cellulose‐based aerogels has been dominated by traditional manufacturing processes, which have limited the possibilities to

Incorporation of Lysine into PNIPAAm to Enhance Protein Adsorption
, 2021 Improving cell adhesion to poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) polymer is essential to the development of new stimuli- responsive tissue engineering technologies based on PNIPAAm. Cell adhesion to PNIPAAm gels is poor due to minimal protein adsorption.

Recent Advances in Cryogel Applications for Musculoskeletal Regeneration
Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Hydrogels have been widely used in tissue engineering due to their high‐water content and biocompatibility, yet their densely cross‐linked microstructure inherently limits cell infiltration, mass transport, and mechanical support. Cryogels, formed through partial freezing and crosslinking under subzero conditions, provide unique 3D macroporous

Protein Resistance of PNIPAAm Brushes: Application to Switchable Protein Adsorption
, 2016 Protein adsorption, as the primary process occurring when a foreign surface comes into contact with a biosystem, was studied on thin polymer brush films consisting of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) and poly(2-vinylpyridine) (P2VP).

Iron(III) ion reinforced P(NiPAAm‐co‐AA) beads as tunable smart organogels
Polymer International, EarlyView.Macroporous beads of PNiPAAm‐co‐AA copolymers were further crosslinked by iron(III) ions. The resulting beads are mechanically robust and reversibly responsive to a change of solvent from ethanol to ethyl acetate with half‐lives in the range of minutes.
