Superior Impact‐Resistant Composite Hydrogels Through an Ionic Coupling Strategy
An ionic coupling strategy is developed to simultaneously reinforce networks and interfaces in composite hydrogels. Sodium citrate acts as a single multifunctional ionic coupler to strengthen the poly(vinyl alcohol) matrix via the Hofmeister effect, reinforce the chitosan–sodium alginate nanofiber network via desolvation and electrostatic crosslinking,

3D investigation and modeling of the geometric effects on porosity in packed beds
Abstract In porous beds, physical boundaries restrict particle arrangement, leading to inhomogeneous porosity. This paper reports on the porosity profiles that are the result of geometric effects on monodisperse packed beds in cylindrical and cubic arrangements. Special focus is given to the influence of edges and corners in cubic geometries.

Physicochemical and Mechanical Characterization of Commercial Collagen‐Based Wound Dressings
Commercial collagen‐based wound dressings are systematically compared to reveal how porous architecture governs hydration‐driven swelling and mechanical adaptation. Distinct structure–function relationships are identified, showing that wet‐state elasticity and conformability emerge from material composition and processing rather than manufacturer ...

Subsistence Through Disappearance: Theology of the Unseen in the Films of Michelangelo Antonioni
ABSTRACT The present study contends that the theology of Michelangelo Antonioni's 1960s cinema is structured by a reductio ad absurdum logic, whereby the presence of certain qualities is proven by the portrayal of their absence. It is argued that Antonioni's intention to show what is by specifying what is not may have been rooted in a modernist ...
