Light transmission in nanocellular polymers: Are semi-transparent cellular polymers possible? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
This work presents the light transmission through a collection of solid cellular polymers based on poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) with cells sizes covering the micro and nano-scale.

Controllable gelation of artificial extracellular matrix for altering mass transport and improving cancer therapies

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
The extracellular matrix (ECM) can influence tumor growth and its response to therapy. Here, the authors develop a fibrinogen and thrombin based artificial ECM that can starve tumours and prevent dissemination of cancer cells.

Dynamic and Degradable Imine‐Based Networks for 3D‐Printing of Soft Elastomeric Self‐Healable Devices

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, 2023
Self‐healable degradable networks encounter a growing popularity for biomedical applications due to their ability to recover their properties after damage. Self‐healable hydrogels dominate with applications in tissue engineering and drug delivery. On the

Phase transitions and noise crosscorrelations in a model of directed polymers in a disordered medium

open access: yes, 2000
We show that effective interactions mediated by disorder between two directed polymers can be modelled as the crosscorrelation of noises in the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equations satisfied by the respective free energies of these polymers.

Ratiometric nanothermometer in vivo based on triplet sensitized upconversion

open access: yesNature Communications, 2018
Though luminescence imaging is a promising approach for contactless thermometry in vivo, the low thermal sensitivity of existing thermometers limits its potential.

Flory-Huggins theory for athermal mixtures of hard spheres and larger flexible polymers

open access: yes, 2002
A simple analytic theory for mixtures of hard spheres and larger polymers with excluded volume interactions is developed. The mixture is shown to exhibit extensive immiscibility. For large polymers with strong excluded volume interactions, the density of

Electrospun Materials Based on Cellulose Acetate Loaded with Rosmarinic Acid with Antioxidant and Antifungal Properties

open access: yesBiomimetics
Fibrous cellulose acetate (CA) materials loaded with rosmarinic acid (RA) were successfully created by one-pot electrospinning. In order to improve the water solubility of the polyphenolic acid and to facilitate its release from the fibrous materials ...

Ternary semitransparent organic solar cells with a laminated top electrode

open access: yesScience and Technology of Advanced Materials, 2017
Tinted and colour-neutral semitransparent organic photovoltaic elements are of interest for building-integrated applications in windows, on glass roofs or on facades.

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Encapsulation of Bacillus subtilis in Chitosan Gel Beads for Eco-Friendly Crop Protection

open access: yesGels
Chitosan gel beads represent a promising biopolymer-based delivery system for encapsulating Bacillus subtilis, an effective biocontrol agent in sustainable agriculture. This study investigates the influence of chitosan molecular weight on bead structure,
