A Thermoreversible Gelation Pathway to Plant Cuticle‐Inspired Biopolymer Aerogel Monoliths Based on Network‐Spherulitic Crystal Assemblies

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
To address functionality limitations in plant‐based and industrially compostable polymer aerogels, this work introduces bio‐inspired aerogels with broadened functionality. Inspired by functional plant tissues, lightweight biopolymer aerogels based on exclusively stereocomplex crystals are fabricated, featuring hierarchically macro‐/meso‐porous ...

A technical note on unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of black cotton soil reinforced with hydrophobically-treated bamboo fibres

Discover Sustainability
This study explores hydrophobically-treated bamboo fibres effectiveness in improving black cotton soil’s unconfined compressive strength (UCS). Traditional soil stabilisation technologies like lime and cement increase soil strength while raising ...

Culinary Chemistry as a Platform for Interfacial Materials Design

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Culinary processes control interfaces through heating, shear, gelation, and molecular transport. This Review connects selected gastronomic examples with food‐derived nanomaterials, plasmonic sensing, anthocyanin photovoltaics, and intelligent packaging. Original agar‐based plasmonic films illustrate the proposed translation.

Chemical Stabilisation of Clayey Soil—Comparison of a Variety of Additives with Respect to Their Effects on the Soil Compressive Strength and Shear Strength

Buildings
The unconfined compressive strength and shear strength represent the basic mechanical properties of clayey soil. If the soil in its natural state does not have sufficiently good mechanical properties, in engineering practice, it can be improved by ...
