Electrospun PVA Scaffolds Containing MCM‐41/CNC Nanocomposites for Controlled Drug Release in Wound Dressings

open access: yesPolymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
Cellulose nanocrystals extracted from Mauritia flexuosa petiole were combined with MCM‐41 mesoporous silica to create a diclofenac‐loaded hybrid nanocomposite. Incorporation into electrospun PVA scaffolds enabled controlled diclofenac release and high cell viability, highlighting their potential for localized drug delivery.

Design and optoelectronic profiling of a semicrystalline thiophene–phenylene copolymer for advanced organic electronics

open access: yesPolymer International, EarlyView.
A new semicrystalline copolymer, PTBT‐3OBu, was synthesized. Intramolecular S···O conformational locks induce high backbone planarity, promoting strong interchain coupling and molecular ordering in thin films, seen in an optical red shift. This synergy between planarity and semicrystalline morphology is promising for photovoltaic and electrochromic ...

Stair‐Climbing Wheelchairs for Enhanced Mobility: A Comprehensive Review of Fundamental Mechanisms, Design Concepts, and Performance Analysis

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT People with physical disabilities face significant mobility challenges while climbing uneven surfaces and staircases. In these circumstances, traditional wheelchairs do not provide stable, safely controlled mobility, underscoring the importance of building superior stair‐climbing wheelchairs for both medical and infrastructure purposes.
