Piezoelectric Nanocomposite Hydrogel for Wireless Neural Stimulation and Tissue Augmentation

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
A cell/tissue supporting piezoelectric hydrogel system (PZ‐gel) that incorporates ferroelectric, pyroelectric, and piezoelectric ceramic material barium titanate into an alginate/carboxymethyl chitosan hydrogel. The PZ‐gel can be sonoactivated for wireless neural cell and tissue stimulation, with the potential to be used as a stimulatory cell substrate

Microstructure engineering of polyamide membranes for ultrafast polar and non-polar solvent transport

Nature Communications
Highly permselective membranes with superior permeability and broad applicability are essential for organic solvent nanofiltration (OSN). However, conventional polyamide membranes often suffer from limited permeability, especially for non-polar solvents.

Fibrillisation and Mechanical Properties of Plasma‐Treated Modification LDPE/PA6 Microfibrillar Composites

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Plasma treatment enhances interfacial adhesion between LDPE/PA6 via carbonyl group formation. PA6 droplet size heterogeneity reduced to ~850 nm after plasma treatment. Drawing at 160°C produces highly oriented microfibrils with faster throughput. Plasma‐treated MFCs show up to 500% tensile strength increase and 18% higher stiffness.

Photothermal catalytic synthesis of cyclohexanones from lignin-derived phenolic bio-oils enabling transparent and elastic polyamides

Nature Communications
Cyclohexanones, as critical precursors for polyamide 6, are inherently challenging to synthesize from lignin-derived phenolic bio-oils due to the high dissociation energy of the aryl-OCH3 bond and the competitive risk of C=O bond over-hydrogenation.

Micro‐ and nanoplastics in gastrointestinal disorders: Mapping the translational gap between exposure, biomonitoring, and pathogenic mechanisms

BMEMat, EarlyView.
This review highlights critical “translational gaps” in understanding micro‐ and nanoplastics impacts on gastrointestinal diseases, bridging exposure, detecting, and mechanistic toxicology. Abstract Micro‐ and nanoplastics (MNPs) have become pervasive environmental contaminants with increasing evidence linking them to adverse health outcomes.

Volumetric analysis of root coverage with porcine acellular dermal matrix: Case study

Clinical Advances in Periodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Gingival recession is prevalent and often treated with coronally advanced flap plus connective tissue graft (CAF+CTG). Porcine acellular dermal matrix (PADM) offers a donor‐site‐free alternative. Contemporary digital imaging allows minimally invasive, three‐dimensional (3D) soft‐tissue assessment. This case report quantified 3D soft‐

Long‐term outcomes of microsurgical interdental papilla reconstruction: 13‐year and 18‐year case follow‐ups

Clinical Advances in Periodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Loss of the interdental papilla compromises esthetics, speech, and hygiene, significantly affecting quality of life and psychological well‐being. Reconstruction has long been considered unpredictable, particularly in Cairo RT3 cases with advanced interproximal bone loss.
