Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 36, September 20, 2026.Thermal black improves polyurethane foam structure and stability. It helps the foam rise smoothly while promoting the formation of smaller, more uniform cells. The foam keeps its strength and insulation performance while reducing shrinkage. Its clean production and easy processing make it a sustainable, cost‐effective option for high‐performance ...

Self‐Assembled Lipids as Soft Dielectrics
Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 74, 14 September 2026.Self‐assembled lipid bilayers serve as soft dielectric materials for ultrathin electronics. Using liquid‐metal parallel‐plate junctions, the capacitance and dielectric breakdown of dehydrated lipid films are characterized. Dielectric behavior is controlled by lipid molecular structure, cholesterol content, and assembly conditions, providing molecular ...

Chiral Morphing of Liquid Crystal Polymer Networks
Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 51, 14 September 2026.This paper reviews how macroscopic chirality spontaneously arises from liquid crystal polymer materials. It describes how alignment is utilized to create the mechanical anisotropy, geometric misorientation and asymmetry that leads to chiral shape morphing, how shape selection between helicoids and helices arises, the techniques used to prepare these ...

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 9, September 2026.An ethanol extract of Duchesnea chrysantha attenuates UVB‐induced oxidative stress, cell death, and inflammatory responses in keratinocytes while modulating extracellular‐matrix‐related markers in keratinocytes and dermal fibroblasts. These protective effects are associated with reduced TAK1 activation and suppression of NF‐κB, AP‐1, and MAPK signaling,
