Thiolate Salt Mediated Dynamic Silyl Ether Exchanges for Polymer Network Design and Deconstruction

open access: yesMacromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
This work introduces thiolate salts as mediators for dynamic silyl ether exchange. This platform enables the synthesis of reprocessable covalent adaptable polymer networks (CANs) and allows for sterically controlled, and tunable deconstruction of silyl ether‐containing thermosets.

Predicting Mesoscopic Larmor Frequency Shifts in Ex Vivo Porcine Optic Nerve

open access: yesMagnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Larmor frequency shifts in white matter (WM) vary with fiber orientation due to anisotropic microstructure. Since clinical voxels are significantly larger than these microscopic frequency variations, the measured signal represents a bulk average of local shifts.

Protecting CEACAM1 Expression Prevents Diet‐Induced Metabolic Dysfunction and Hepatic Fibrosis in Male Mice

open access: yesObesity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective High‐fat diet represses Ceacam1 transcription via a PPARα‐mediated mechanism to cause insulin resistance before inflammation develops. The current study investigated whether mutating PPRE‐RXRα in Ceacam1 promoter prevents diet‐induced metabolic abnormalities and hepatic fibrosis in male C57BL6/J mice.

CdSe/CdZnS core/shell nanocrystal scintillators: Light yield, decay time, and solvent effects

open access: yesNuclear Engineering and Technology
Semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) have emerged as promising candidates for next-generation scintillators owing to their tunable band gaps and high photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQYs).

Halide Scintillators

open access: yes, 2003
Scintillators have been used for decades to make ionising radiation visible. Either by direct observation of the light flash produced by the material when it is exposed to radiation, or indirect by use of a photomultiplier tube or photodiode. Despite the

Fabrication of amorphous lamellar freestanding poly(N‐dodecyl acrylamide) films and their mechanical properties

open access: yesPolymer International, EarlyView.
A freestanding film of completely uniaxially oriented amorphous lamellae was produced. The film exhibited enhanced tensile strength with increasing orientation of the lamella. Abstract An amorphous lamellar freestanding film composed of poly(N‐dodecyl acrylamide) (pDDA) was prepared by annealing a micrometer‐thick film under humid conditions (humid ...

Robust β‐myrcene block copolymer elastomeric vitrimers

open access: yesPolymer International, EarlyView.
Myrcene‐based vitrimeric elastomers were compared: statistical (poly(styrene‐stat‐myrcene‐stat‐AAEMA)] versus ‘hard–soft’ diblock (poly(styrene)‐block‐poly(myrcene‐co‐AAEMA)). The diblock's ability to anchor the glassy poly(styrene) blocks in a self‐assembled microstructure was effective – leading to four times higher tensile stress and ten times ...

Sodium Ions Affect GPR17 Conformational States and Functionality

open access: yesProteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sodium is an allosteric modulator of several class‐A GPCR regulating active versus inactive conformation state and may be a critical issue for the optimization of crystallization procedures. Herein, the role of Na+ in the regulation of GPR17 conformational states was studied through MD simulations of GPR17 wild‐type and mutated on two ...
