DNA-coated Functional Oil Droplets

, 2017
Many industrial soft materials often include oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions at the core of their formulations. By using tuneable interface stabilizing agents, such emulsions can self-assemble into complex structures.

Transfer of Energy and Momentum Between Magnetoactive Surface Microstructure and a Solid Object

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
We demonstrate that magnetoactive multilamellar arrays subjected to a rotating magnetic field can function as platforms for controlled transport of physical objects. Through systematic experimental investigation, we elucidate the underlying physical mechanisms determining the upper limit of the achievable transportation speed in such magnetic “conveyor‐

Combustion Characteristics and Self‐Extinguishing Mechanism of Novel Self‐Extinguishing Fluorinated Silicone Insulating Oil

High Voltage
Traditional mineral oil has long served as a liquid insulating medium in power transformers. However, its low fire resistance, poor biodegradability and dependence on finite fossil fuel resources, along with its low flash point, contribute to transformer

Comparison of synthetic membranes in the development of an in vitro feeding system for Dermanyssus gallinae [PDF]

, 2010
Although artificial feeding models for the poultry red mite (Dermanyssus gallinae) most frequently use biological membranes consisting of day-old chick skin, there are ethical considerations associated with the use of skin.

Charge‐Induced Morphing Gels for Bioinspired Actuation

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces a novel electroactive actuation mechanism that enables the gel material to generate substantial and reversible shape‐changing while preserving topological and isochoric (volumetric) equivalence. The resultant morphing behaviors can mimic the movements of muscle‐driven organelles in nature, including cilia‐like beating and ...

An innovative, fast and facile soft-template approach for the fabrication of porous PDMS for oil-water separation

, 2017
Oil wastewater and spilled oil caused serious environmental pollution and damage to public health in the last years. Therefore, considerable efforts are made to develop sorbent materials able to separate oil from water with high selectivity and sorption ...

Melt Grafting of Geometry‐Tailored Voltage Stabilizers for High‐Performance Polypropylene Insulation

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A scalable one‐step melt grafting strategy is developed to enhance the dielectric properties of isotactic polypropylene by covalently incorporating thermally stable aromatic voltage stabilizers. This solvent‐free approach improves volume resistivity and DC breakdown strength through deep trap formation and charge localization, offering a sustainable ...

From splashing to bouncing: the influence of viscosity on the impact of suspension droplets on a solid surface

, 2016
We experimentally investigated the splashing of dense suspension droplets impacting a solid surface, extending prior work to the regime where the viscosity of the suspending liquid becomes a significant parameter. The overall behavior can be described by
