Growth Factor‐Loaded Mesoporous Silica Particles, Incorporated in Electrospun PCL Fibres, Provide Topographical and Chemical Cues for Tendon Tissue Engineering

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Electrospinning enables the hierarchical assembly of nanofiber‐based scaffolds for tissue engineering. However, encapsulated proteins often undergo structural changes. This study used mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) as protective carriers, mitigating protein denaturation and supporting controlled release.

Piezoelectric Polyurethane/Barium Titanate Composites with High Stretchability and Voltage Output for Energy Harvesting in Soft Wearable Electronics

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Piezoelectric additives are combined with an elastomer host, creating a material with properties of both parent materials: high voltage output and exceptional stretchability. These stretchable piezoelectric materials have the robustness for integration into soft wearable electronics, functioning as renewable energy harvesters to charge capacitors.

A Bistable Assistive Device for Wireless Control of a Dysfunctional Bladder Under Minimal Stress

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This paper presents a wireless system designed to restore bladder function in patients with an underactive bladder (UAB). The system features a multilayered structure, combining a pre‐shaped restoration layer with a spring‐based actuator. The system delivers 95–100% voiding efficiency within a 10‐s activation while ensuring minimal stress on the ...

Optimized Growth and Manipulation of Light–Matter Interaction in Stabilized Halide Perovskite Nanowire Array

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
This study investigates CsPbBr3 nanowire (NW) array synthesis and stability using nanoporous anodized aluminum oxide (AAO) templates. Simulations identify optimal pore geometries for light–matter interactions (LMI). The ligand‐free modified inverse temperature crystallization (ITC) method is utilized for NW array growth, providing insights into a broad

Triarylphosphonium BODIPY‐Based [2]Rotaxanes Nanoparticles for Light‐Driven Antibacterial Applications

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
New photosensitizers for light‐induced antimicrobial therapy are successfully synthesized and characterized. When dissolved in water, all compounds self‐assemble forming spherical aggregates with <100 nm dimensions. The nanoparticles show high photothermal conversion efficiency and demonstrate antimicrobial activity toward both Gram‐negative and Gram ...
