Biomimetic Multiscale‐Structured Biomass Graphene/Polyurethane Sponge Composite for Flexible Pressure Sensors and Intelligent Cushioning Materials

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In this study, a multifunctional conductive sponge composite (MAPU) is developed using a biomimetic, hierarchical construction strategy emulating the growth process of natural wood. This approach involved integrating biomass‐derived graphitic nanoflakes, synthesized from luffa vine (LVGN), into a polyurethane (PU) sponge matrix.

Health disparities in chronic liver disease

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract The syndemic of hazardous alcohol consumption, opioid use, and obesity has led to important changes in liver disease epidemiology that have exacerbated health disparities. Health disparities occur when plausibly avoidable health differences are experienced by socially disadvantaged populations.

Deep Uncertainty Surrounding Coastal Flood Risk Projections: A Case Study for New Orleans

, 2017
Future sea-level rise drives severe risks for many coastal communities. Strategies to manage these risks hinge on a sound characterization of the uncertainties. For example, recent studies suggest that large fractions of the Antarctic ice sheet (AIS) may

Understanding the Roles of Microstructure and Viscoelasticity of Soft Ionic Elastomer for Super‐Capacitive Pressure Sensors

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
By engineering the PVA/H3PO4 ionic elastomer with optimized viscoelasticity and a height‐graded microstructure, the pressure sensor achieves a broad linear range up to 2000 kPa and a high sensitivity of 2.70 nF/kPa. These advancements underscore its strong potential for wearable electronics, including bio‐signal detection, health monitoring, and ...
