pH‐Tunable Material Properties of Glycine‐Rich Condensates from Tick Bioadhesive

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 10, 2 February 2026.
This work studies the influence of pH on the phase separation behavior of a disordered glycine‐rich protein found in tick bioadhesive. The results show profound impact on the propensity of coacervation, condensate microstructure and viscosity, amphiphilicity of the peptides, and effective encapsulation of therapeutic molecules.

The Role of Electrostatic Repulsion on Increasing Surface Activity of Anionic Surfactants in the Presence of Hydrophilic Silica Nanoparticles

Scientific Reports, 2018
Hydrophilic silica nanoparticles alone are not surface active. They, however, develop a strong electrostatic interaction with ionic surfactants and consequently affect their surface behavior.

Experimental evaluation of apparent tissue surface tension based on the exact solution of the Laplace equation [PDF]

, 2008
The notion of apparent tissue surface tension offered a systematic way to interpret certain morphogenetic processes in early development. It also allowed deducing quantitative information on cellular and molecular parameters that is otherwise difficult ...

Assessment of Methacrylated Poly(ε‐Caprolactone)/Silanized Hydroxyapatite Composite Resin for High‐Resolution Scaffolds via Vat Photopolymerization 3D Printing

Polymers for Advanced Technologies, Volume 37, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT High‐resolution, biocompatible scaffolds are essential for reproducible tissue engineering and remain challenging to fabricate with vat photopolymerization due to cure‐depth control and limited bioactivity of neat polymers. This work investigated the mechanical, surface, and biological properties, as well as the high‐resolution 3D printability,

Minimizing Drying Shrinkage and Enhancing Impermeability of Foam Concrete Modified with Epoxy Resin

Advances in Civil Engineering, 2020
Relatively high drying shrinkage and permeability were two of the major challenges associated with foam concrete (FC), primarily due to its high porosity nature. This study was aimed at reducing the drying shrinkage and improving the impermeability of FC

Wetting Interactions Between Porous Carbon Hosts and Liquid Sodium‐Potassium Alloys Toward Their Use in Negative Electrodes of Alkali‐Metal Batteries

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 9, 29 January 2026.
Porous carbon host materials are investigated for their possible usage in liquid alkali‐metal negative electrodes. X‐ray computed tomography reveals pore‐filling behavior under various conditions: non‐wetting, forced wetting, and spontaneous wetting. The applicability of porous carbon in electrochemical cells is demonstrated at high areal capacities ...

Size‐Selective Functionalization of Sugars and Polyols Using Zeolites for Renewable Surfactant Production

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 137, Issue 39, September 22, 2025.
A zeolite‐catalyzed strategy enables size‐selective monoacetalization of sugars and polyols in a single step by leveraging pore confinement to distinguish between mono‐ and multi‐substituted species. This broadly applicable method avoids protection steps and excess reagents, opening new routes to bio‐based amphiphiles with strong surface activity and ...

Surface‐Active Organics Increase CCN Activation Especially for Small Particles and Weak Updrafts

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 24, 28 December 2025.
Abstract Atmospheric aerosols often contain surface‐active organics, which reduce surface tension and enhance cloud droplets activation. This effect is often neglected in the application of Köhler theory where a constant surface tension equivalent to pure water is assumed.
