The Effects of Novel Amphipathic Block Copolymers on Stabilization of the Rat Tear Film

open access: yes, 2020
PURPOSE. To determine whether various novel amphipathic polymers could be used to stabilize the tear film of the rat. The rheologic properties of these polymers were examined to investigate whether particular structural or physical characteristics ...

The effects of radiant cooling versus convective cooling on human eye tear film stability and blinking rate [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The effect of indoor temperature, radiant and convective cooling on tear film stability and eye blink frequency was examined. 24 human subjects were exposed to the non-uniform environment generated by localised chilled beam and a chilled ceiling combined

HDL May Improve Ocular Tear Film Stability in Patients with Gastric Bypass: A Pilot Study

open access: yesDiagnostics
Most people with obesity who have undergone gastric bypass surgery have dyslipidemia. Because tear film layers play a major role in the pathogenesis of evaporative dry eye, some studies suggest that dry eye syndrome (DES) and dyslipidemia could cooperate

Binder‐Free Direct Ink Writing of Li6.4La3Zr1.4Ta0.6O12 Garnet Electrolytes for All‐Solid‐State Batteries

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Polymer binders and thick pressed LLZTO pellets limit all‐solid‐state battery integration through grain‐boundary carbon and high ohmic losses. A binder‐free capillary suspension ink is direct‐ink‐written and sintered into 254 μm$\mu{\rm m}$, 95.8%‐dense Ta‐stabilized LLZTO with 17.3 mS cm−1$\text{cm}^{-1}$ bulk conductivity, enabling thinner ...

Life‐Like Ferrous Oxide Microspheres from Kombucha

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Kombucha bacterial cellulose, sodium alginate, and ferrous nitrate self‐assemble into membrane‐enclosed iron oxide microspheres. These microspheres bud daughter vesicles, sustain 24‐h electrochemical oscillations, and filter theta‐band signals.

Conformal Coating and Transfer of 2D Nanomaterials via Dynamic Interface Engineering

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This review discusses conformal coating and transfer of two‐dimensional (2D) nanomaterials with a focus on dynamic interface engineering. By actively regulating nanosheet transport and interfacial contact during film formation, recent dynamic coating strategies overcome the limitations of conventional passive approaches and enable geometry‐adaptive ...

Control of Bacterial Attachment on Macroporous PDMS/Paraffin SLIPS With Varying Lubricant Viscosity

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Slippery liquid‐infused porous surfaces (SLIPS) prepared from macroporous PDMS, infused with medical‐grade paraffins, were systematically investigated regarding the correlation of viscosity, surface corrugation, bulk porosity, and bacterial resistance. Substrate porosity was found to dominate lubricant stabilization and the antifouling activity.

Two‐Way Shape Memory Polymer Composite Gripper for Adaptive Robotic Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A two‐way shape memory polymer (SMP) composite is developed with intrinsic shape‐changing capability driven solely by temperature, eliminating external actuation loads. Embedding the SMP in a low‐stiffness elastomeric matrix enabled reversible transformations during heating and cooling cycles.
