Light‐Responsive Enzyme‐Loaded Nanoparticles for Tunable Adhesion and Mechanical Wound Contraction
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This study presents a photoactivatable enzyme‐loaded mesoporous nanoparticle system (MPDA_PaTy) that enables light‐triggered tunable tissue adhesion and facilitates mechanical wound contraction. Controlled enzymatic crosslinking at tissue or hydrogel interfaces allows on‐demand adhesion.

Size Effect in FRP Shear-Strengthened RC Beams: Design Models versus Experimental Data
CivilEng, 2021 Numerous studies on the size effect have been devoted to reinforced concrete (RC) beams. They have shown that increasing the beam size leads to a decrease in ultimate shear strength (stress) at failure.
