Laser‐Induced Graphene from Waste Almond Shells

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Almond shells, an abundant agricultural by‐product, are repurposed to create a fully bioderived almond shell/chitosan composite (ASC) degradable in soil. ASC is converted into laser‐induced graphene (LIG) by laser scribing and proposed as a substrate for transient electronics.

Strain‐Programmable Luminescent Adhesive Patch With Tartrazine‐Mediated Optical Skin Clearing for Photochemical Tissue Bonding

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We propose a suture‐complementary approach that integrates optical skin clearing with a strain‐programmable luminescent adhesive patch. Hyaluronic acid promotes transdermal delivery of tartrazine to improve optical clearing and stabilizes its interaction with a photosensitizer. Optical clearing increases the penetration depth of visible light into skin,

PORE WATER PRESSURE GENERATION AND DISSIPATION NEAR TO PILE AND FAR-FIELD IN LIQUEFIABLE SOILS

International Journal of Geomate, 2015
The degree of liquefaction as characterised by the excess pore water pressure plays an important role in defining soil strength and stiffness. The pile-soil interaction in liquefiable soil, if modelled using BNWF model, the strength and stiffness of the soil springs can be suitably reduced by using a reduction factor.

Intrinsic Photoactive Star ZnPc–Poly(glutamate) Nanoplatforms for Multimodal Glioblastoma Therapy and Brain‐Targeted Delivery

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
An intrinsic photoactive star‐shaped zinc phtalocyanine‐poly(L‐glutamic acid) (ZnPc‐PGA) nanoplatform for multimodal glioblastoma (GBM) therapy and brain‐targeted elivery. A ZnPc‐PGA‐based multifunctional theranostic nanocarrier platform enables image‐guided, multimodal GBM therapy. ZnPc‐PGA nanocarriers support the integration of fluorescence imaging,

Elasto-plasticity and pore-pressure coupled analysis on the pullout behaviors of a plate anchor

Theoretical and Applied Mechanics Letters, 2015
A numerical method is proposed for the elasto-plasticity and pore-pressure coupled analysis on the pullout behaviors of a plate anchor. The bounding-surface plasticity (BSP) model combined with Biot’s consolidation theory is employed to simulate the ...

Experimental Study on the Uplift Correction of Raft Foundations in Saturated Silty Clay

Buildings
Although grouting technology has been widely applied for lifting and rectifying tilted structures, theoretical research remains underdeveloped and lags behind the practical demands of engineering applications. In this study, a self-developed experimental
