Harnessing Phase Separation for the Development of High‐Performance Hydrogels

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hydrogels are indispensable for the development of next‐generation bioelectronics, soft robotics, and biomedical devices, where their mechanical properties determine performance and reliability. Among strategies to enhance hydrogel mechanics, phase separation enables controlled heterogeneity resulting in gel networks that are reinforced by ...

A Unifying Thermodynamic Model for Phase Separation and Aging of Biopolymers

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Phase separation and aging of intrinsically disordered proteins are placed in a unifying framework. A thermodynamically consistent time‐dependent version of associating‐polymer theory shows how the processes are intricately coupled. Assuming aging to occur through interacting sites resulting from reversible conformational transitions, the model ...

Tuning of bandgap for warm white light emissions in indium-doped cesium metal halide perovskites by solvothermal method

Results in Optics
Cesium-based perovskites, particularly Cs3Bi2Br9, doped with indium, have emerged as promising materials for energy-efficient lighting, notably in white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs).

Synergistic Effect on Enhanced Oil Recovery in High Salinity Carbonate Reservoirs Using a Novel PEI‐Functionalized Carbon Nanotube Nanocomposite

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Enhancing oil recovery (EOR) in mature reservoirs is hindered by high interfacial tension (IFT) and oil‐wet rock formations, especially under harsh, high‐salinity conditions. This study aims to overcome these limitations by synthesizing a novel carbon nanotube nanocomposite covalently grafted with polyethylenimine and non‐covalently ...

Protein‐Independent Liquid–Liquid Phase Separation of Adenosine Triphosphate Under Crowded Conditions

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
ATP itself is able to undergo liquid–liquid phase separation in the presence of the macromolecular crowding agent PEG and physiological ATP concentrations are sufficient for phase separation in the presence of mM Mg2+ and crowders, mimicking intracellular conditions.

Infrared Laser Heating Reveals a Reversible Phase Transition of Phosphofructokinase 1 in Mammalian Cells

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
In this study, we present a novel method to investigate the phase behavior of biomolecular condensates in living cells. The method complements FRAP experiments, expanding the existing toolbox for characterization of condensates within living cells. ABSTRACT Metabolic enzymes can operate in concerted networks, so‐called metabolons.

Crystalline Poly(L‐Lactic Acid) Nanoparticles via Nonsolvent‐Induced Cascade Phase Separation

Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Water is used as the nonsolvent to induce liquid/liquid phase separation (LLPS) of poly(L‐lactic acid) (PLLA)/propylene carbonate solution and PLLA crystallization. Due to the two levels of cascade LLPS coupled with confined PLLA crystallization, three types of polymeric nanoparticles, including PLLA single crystals, Ouzo crystalsomes, and sheaf‐like ...
