Coordinated Architectural and Chemical Reinforcement in the Crushing Mandible of a Soldier Termite
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.The crushing mandible of a soldier termite withstands substantial biting loads despite lacking mineral. Its cuticle is partitioned: convex teeth pair hardness and zinc enrichment with aligned chitin fibers for contact durability, while stiffer concave regions between teeth carry bending loads.

Effect on the characterization of metolachlor polyurea microcapsules with urea instead of polyamines
Designed Monomers and Polymers, 2019 In this paper, a novel metolachlor microcapsules suspension (CS) was prepared by interfacial polymerization. Metolachlor polyurea microcapsules suspension was successfully prepared by urea instead of polyamines which could reduce the use of organic ...
