Architectural Tailoring and Reinforcement Strategies for Improved Bearing Strength in Thick Carbon Fiber/Epoxy Laminates

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Schematic overview of the investigated laminate architectures and reinforcement strategies used to evaluate their effects on the bearing performance and failure behaviour of thick carbon fibre/epoxy laminates. ABSTRACT This study provides a unified experimental comparison of 11 joint configurations in thick (7–12 mm) vacuum‐infused CFRP laminates ...

Human Blood‐Brain Tumor Barrier on a Chip to Investigate Personalized Treatment for Glioblastoma Patients

Small, EarlyView.
A microfluidic model of the glioblastoma (GBM) margin was developed to mimic patient‐specific blood‐brain tumor barrier (BBTB) function and drug response. The platform revealed inter‐patient variability in barrier integrity and drug sensitivity, offering a tool for personalized therapy evaluation in GBM.

Uniform Microscale Thermoresponsive Liposomes for Controlled Release Above Body Temperature

Small, EarlyView.
Uniform thermoresponsive liposomes are generated using a scalable double‐emulsion microfluidic approach coupled with accelerated solvent extraction. The resulting liposomes remain stable at physiological temperature but undergo abrupt rupture and cargo release at 41°C–45°C, providing a versatile platform for thermally triggered controlled release in ...

Explainable machine learning models for punching shear capacity of FRP bar reinforced concrete flat slab without shear reinforcement

Case Studies in Construction Materials
Existing semi-empirical formulas for predicting punching shear capacity in FRP bar reinforced concrete flat slabs without shear reinforcement often prove inaccurate and unstable. This is primarily due to limited modeling data, inadequate consideration of

Models for Punching Shear Capacity in Concrete Slabs

, 2013
Model Code 2010 was published in the spring of 2012 by the International Federation for Structural Concrete (fib), and presents a whole new model for punching shear design. Whereas the method for punching shear design in Eurocode 2 is mainly empirical, the method in Model Code 2010 is grounded in a physical model called the Critical Shear Crack Theory.

Thermally Regulated Droplet Microfluidics Enables Uniform, Size‐Controllable DNA‐Nanoparticle Superlattices

Small, EarlyView.
Thermally regulated droplet microfluidics enables controlled assembly of DNA‐functionalized gold nanoparticles into uniform, size‐controllable superlattice crystals. Monodisperse droplets formed at elevated temperature suppress premature hybridization, followed by ultra‐slow cooling to promote near‐equilibrium growth.

Shear‐Responsive Red Blood Cell Carriers for Targeted Drug Delivery to Constricted Arteries

Small, EarlyView.
Red blood cells are harnessed as mechanoresponsive carriers that exploit the elevated shear stress of stenotic arteries to transiently open membrane pores and release encapsulated therapeutics selectively at sites of arterial narrowing. By coupling vascular hemodynamics with RBC membrane mechanics, a hemodynamically activated platform for localized ...

Reconciling Granular Hydrogel Microstructure and Mechanics via a Temporary Thermo‐Responsive and Cell‐Invadable Matrix

Small, EarlyView.
Thermo‐responsive granular hydrogels (TRGHs), composed of microparticles and an interstitial matrix, exhibit thermo‐responsive mechanical properties and allow cell infiltration. This system effectively addresses the conventional compromise between mechanical strength and porosity observed in granular hydrogels.

Punching Shear Responses of Flat-Plate Assemblages Strengthened with Engineered Cementitious Composites

International Journal of Concrete Structures and Materials
Flat plate flooring systems are susceptible to punching shear failures at slab-column joints, which is pointed out as one of critical obstacles in its application to high-rise buildings in strong wind or seismic regions.

Adhesive Protein Nanoparticles Control Emulsion Properties via Tunable Interdroplet Linking

Small, EarlyView.
In this study, pea protein nanoparticles were probed for their ability to link emulsion droplets. Experiments across multiple length scales showed that the nanoparticles form shear‐resistant links via bridging interactions from the thin film between droplets.
