AUTOGENOUS SELF-HEALING OF POLYPROPYLENE FIBER REINFORCED ETTRINGITE-BASED COMPOSITE

, 2022
This study intends to advance the poor knowledge on the ability of an ettringite-based binder to obtain autogenous self-healing and its relevant mechanism. We developed a high performance polypropylene fiber-reinforced cementitious composite based on the

Fabrication and assessment on morphological, thermal stability and self‐healing efficiency of microcapsule‐based jute/epoxy bio‐composites

SPE Polymers
In this study, microcapsule‐based jute fiber reinforced epoxy self‐healing composites were fabricated using the vacuum bagging technique. Water‐soluble epoxy microcapsules were synthesized by the in‐situ polymerization method.

Liver organoids: modelling complexity in homeostasis and disease

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Studying liver in vitro has been challenging because simple 2D cell cultures fail to capture liver's cellular and architectural complexity. To bridge this gap, scientists increasingly use organoids, 3D liver models which better mimic liver composition and function. This review examines recent advances in liver organoid complexity and realism, discusses

Self-Healing Behaviors of Tough Polyampholyte Hydrogels [PDF]

, 2016
Recently, polyampolytes have been discovered to form hydrogels that possess high toughness, full resilience, and self-healing between two cut surfaces. The self-healing of this class of hydrogels is based on the re-forming of the multiple ionic bonds at ...

Ion‐Mediated Gelation of Thermo‐Responsive Cellulose Nanofibril/Poly(N‐isopropylacrylamide) Hybrid Hydrogels with Tunable De‐Swelling Kinetics

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering
The tunability of the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of poly(N‐isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) to lower or higher temperatures, as well as the ease of modulation of the LCST phase transition kinetics broadens the scope of application of PNIPAM ...

Epigenetic reprogramming of lineage switching in cancer

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Cancer cells rarely commit to a single identity. Epigenetic mechanisms and tumor microenvironment cues push epithelial cells toward flexible, hybrid states that can shift into mesenchymal, neuroendocrine, or stem‐like fates, driving metastasis, drug resistance, and tumor heterogeneity. Targeting the epigenetic regulators behind these transitions, using
