Engineering Flexible Nanofibrous Hydroxyapatite Scaffolds With Tunable Degradation and Mechanical Properties for Bone Regeneration

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Conventional hydroxyapatite ceramics are brittle and poorly resorbable, limiting their use in bone repair. To overcome these limitations, flexible scaffolds are fabricated using ceramic nanofibers as structural building blocks. Adjusting nanofiber characteristics allows modulating the mechanical properties and degradation, providing a versatile ...

Mechano‐Chemical Coordination of Nanoparticle‐Based Artificial Antigen‐Presenting Cells Synergistically Tunes T Cell Activation and Expansion Phenotypes

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Mechanically distinct nano artificial antigen‐presenting cells with independently controlled antibody density are used to reveal how physical and biochemical cues jointly regulate human T‐cell activation. Increasing stiffness and antibody density accelerates activation, enhances expansion, and promotes effector‐associated differentiation, whereas ...

Cellulose supramolecular ionogel with robust mechanical strength and thermal stability for flexible electronics

open access: yesSmart Molecules, EarlyView.
In this study, a double‐network cellulose‐polyvinyl alcohol (Cel/PVA) ionogel with a dense supramolecular structure is fabricated via H‐bonding network reconstruction. The Cel/PVA ionogel exhibits outstanding mechanical strength, high ionic conductivity, a wide electrochemical window, and excellent thermal stability, demonstrating its tremendous ...

Effective axial strength of laterally strengthened RC pier heads with post‐tensioning method

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates the structural performance enhancement of reinforced concrete (RC) pier heads laterally strengthened with unbonded post‐tensioning (PT) to accommodate increased design loads following a deck replacement of an existing railway bridge.

Experimental and numerical investigation on the flexural response of GFRP‐reinforced SFRC beams

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract In order to address the challenges related to the deformability and ductility of concrete beams reinforced with fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) bars, an alternative solution involving steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) has been proposed. In the present study, a total of seven beams—including one steel‐reinforced reference beam and six glass

Flexural behavior of precast prestressed slabs with embedded building service systems

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Dry‐assembled precast concrete construction is rapidly spreading in many parts of the world due to the several advantages offered by industrialized construction. In order to speed up not only the assemblage of the structure, but also the full integrated building process, engineering systems (mechanical–electrical–plumbing) may be prefabricated

Progress in bone tissue engineering biomaterials: Development, challenges, and prospects

open access: yesVIEW, EarlyView.
Scheme 1 Application of biomaterials in immunomodulation during bone tissue engineering. Abstract Bone defect repair remains a major clinical challenge in orthopedics. Over 2 million cases caused by trauma, tumors, and other factors occur annually, with large‐scale defects posing a particular bottleneck due to limited self‐healing capacity.
