A Thermoreversible Gelation Pathway to Plant Cuticle‐Inspired Biopolymer Aerogel Monoliths Based on Network‐Spherulitic Crystal Assemblies

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
To address functionality limitations in plant‐based and industrially compostable polymer aerogels, this work introduces bio‐inspired aerogels with broadened functionality. Inspired by functional plant tissues, lightweight biopolymer aerogels based on exclusively stereocomplex crystals are fabricated, featuring hierarchically macro‐/meso‐porous ...

Nonplanar Bouligand Architectures for Enhanced Mechanical Performance in Cementitious Composites

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Inspired by the impact region of the Mantis shrimp dactyl club, nonplanar additive manufacturing translates sinusoidal Bouligand architectures into cementitious composites. Printing‐induced anisotropy and architected interfaces promote distributed damage and arrest crack propagation, enhancing strength and energy absorption.

Mechanoactive Biomaterials for Cell–Matrix Mechanotransduction

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract shows how individual triggers (force, light, or temperature) and combined optothermal or receptor‐targeted actuation induce material responses at the tissue, cellular, and receptor scales. Their spatial (global or focused) and temporal (continuous or cyclic) modulation determines the resulting mechanical output.

Solvent effect on the activation volume of the diels-alder reaction between tetracyanoethylene and trans, trans-1,4-diphenyl-1,3-butadiene

open access: yes, 2020
The effect of increased hydrostatic pressure on the rate of the Diels-Alder reaction of tetracyanoethylene with trans, trans-1,4-diphenyl-1,3-butadiene at 25°C was studied to estimate the reaction volume and to show that it considerably varies with π ...

A fully echo-guided trans-apical aortic valve implantation.

open access: yes, 2009
The trans-apical aortic valve implantation (TA-AVI) is an established technique for high-risk patients requiring aortic valve replacement. Traditionally, preoperative (computed tomography (CT) scan, coronary angiogram) and intra-operative imaging ...

Spatial Homeotropic and Planar Liquid Crystal Alignment Patterning

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
A voltage‐assisted two‐step photoalignment methodology achieves precise micro‐patterning of alternating planar and homeotropic liquid crystal domains. Applying an AC electric field during in situ laser illumination minimizes phase retardation, reducing the required exposure dose. This cooperative mechanism enables high‐resolution spatial patterning and

A Constraint‐Based Analytical Framework for Design‐Space Analysis and Material Screening of Tubular Multilayer Dielectric Elastomer Pumps for Extracorporeal Circulatory Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A constraint‐based analytical framework maps the coupled effects of material properties, structural parameters, and operating conditions in tubular dielectric elastomer pumps for extracorporeal circulatory applications. The approach defines performance boundaries through mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic constraints and identifies feasible design ...

[Trans-Texas Airways pilot and staff]

open access: yes, 1955
Photograph of the flight crew for a Trans-Texas Airways flight in front of their plane. The pilot is smiling with his arms around two of the female cabin staff who are also smiling and holding bouquets of roses. It is the day after St.
