Sustainable Catalyst‐Free PLG Networks: Recyclability, Biodegradability, and Functional Performance

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A catalyst‐additive free covalent adaptable network is developed from star‐shaped poly(lactide‐co‐glycolide) cross‐linked with pyromellitic dianhydride, enabling internal carboxylic acid‐driven transesterification. The resulting biodegradable network exhibits mechanical robustness (Young's modulus ≈1.6 GPa), complete recyclability, rapid biodegradation

Punching shear resistance of reinforced concrete footings: evaluation of design codes

open access: yesRevista IBRACON de Estruturas e Materiais, 2018
Punching is a possible failure mode for slender footings and it may lead a structure to ruin through progressive collapse. Although footing present different geometric characteristics, their punching shear design is based on the empirical methods used ...

Dual‐Layer Living Hydrogel Enables On‐Demand Delivery of Phages and Probiotics for Synergistic Wound Infection Therapy

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A dual‐layer living hydrogel, ProΦGel, integrates bacteriophages and probiotics for synergistic wound infection therapy. The outer gelatin‐based matrix releases phages on demand in response to P. aeruginosa infections, while inner alginate beads sustain probiotic delivery.

Novel Drug‐Testing Platform for Vascular Injury‐induced Intimal Hyperplasia Using a Microphysiological System

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study develops a 3D vascular injury model using a microphysiological system that mimics key features of intimal hyperplasia. Antiproliferative drugs reduced VSMC proliferation but worsened endothelialdenudation. A combination of diphenyleneiodonium and quercetin effectively reduced proliferation and migration of VSMC and inflammation while ...

Punching strengthen

open access: yesAlexandria Engineering Journal, 2015
An experimental and analytical study on the punching strengthening of reinforced concrete two-way slabs using external steel plates is presented. Five reinforced concrete square slabs of 100 mm thickness were tested over simply supported four sides of ...

Ascorbic Acid Modulates Collagen Properties in Glucocorticoid‐Induced Osteoporotic Bone: Insights into Chemical, Mechanical, and Biological Regulation

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Osteoporosis from long‐term glucocorticoid (GIOP) use elevates susceptibility to fracture. This study shows GCs impair ascorbic acid (AA) metabolism in osteoblasts, collagen synthesis and extracellular matrix integrity. AA enhanced collagen biochemical and mechanical properties and restored osteoblast and endothelial function. These findings underscore

Influence of Stirrup-Tie Shape on Inelastic Cyclic Response of Flanged Reinforced Concrete Flexural Members [PDF]

open access: yes, 1981
Three reinforced concrete flanged sections (T-sections) having different shapes of shear reinforcement were subjected to cyclic inelastic flexure representative of what framed structure members might-be forced to endure during a severe earthquake. The

Geometry‐Guided Osteogenesis in Bone‐on‐a‐Chip Systems Using Triply Periodic Minimal Surface Scaffolds

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents a bone‐on‐a‐chip platform incorporating TPMS scaffolds to study geometry‐dependent osteogenesis under dynamic flow. By tuning pore shape and solidity, it precisely controls mechanical cues, revealing how topological features and shear stress affect osteogenic differentiation and matrix formation.
