Scalable Polyelectrolyte Complex‐Based Sorbent With Hourly Sorption−Desorption Cycles for Multicyclic Atmospheric Water Harvesting in Arid Environments

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A polyelectrolyte complex‐based sorbent is produced by scalable, environmentally benign aqueous phase inversion. Its porous, LiCl‐ and GO‐integrated architecture enables hourly adsorption−desorption cycles at low relative humidity (RH < 30%). A large‐scale prototype achieves multicyclic, solar‐driven atmospheric water harvesting of 1.37 L kg−1 day−1 ...

Mechanical characterization of PVA hydrogels' rate-dependent response using multi-axial loading.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
The time-dependent properties of rubber-like synthesized and biological materials are crucial for their applications. Currently, this behavior is mainly measured using axial tensile test, compression test, or indentation.

Non-linear Langevin model for the early-stage dynamics of electrospinning jets

open access: yes, 2015
We present a non-linear Langevin model to investigate the early-stage dynamics of electrified polymer jets in electrospinning experiments. In particular, we study the effects of air drag force on the uniaxial elongation of the charged jet, right after ...

Dual‐Layer Living Hydrogel Enables On‐Demand Delivery of Phages and Probiotics for Synergistic Wound Infection Therapy

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A dual‐layer living hydrogel, ProΦGel, integrates bacteriophages and probiotics for synergistic wound infection therapy. The outer gelatin‐based matrix releases phages on demand in response to P. aeruginosa infections, while inner alginate beads sustain probiotic delivery.

Nonlinear time-dependent behavior of rheodictic polymers: A theoretical and experimental investigation

open access: yesPolymer Testing
The present study examined the nonlinear time-dependent behavior of rheodictic polymers, a class of noncrosslinked materials that exhibit flow. Such behavior was addressed with extended Schapery's nonlinear viscoelastic model by introducing new physical ...

Viscoelastic Behavior of Solid $^4$He

open access: yes, 2008
Over the last five years several experimental groups have reported anomalies in the temperature dependence of the period and amplitude of a torsional oscillator containing solid $^4$He. We model these experiments by assuming that $^4$He is a viscoelastic

From Clinic to Computation: Multiscale Bioengineering Strategies for Durable Biological Aortic Valve Replacements

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bioprosthetic aortic valves have revolutionized the treatment of aortic stenosis, but their durability is limited by structural valve deterioration (SVD). This review focuses on the pericardial tissue at the heart of these valves, examining how its mechanical properties and calcification drive fatigue and failure.

Uniform stability of a strong time-delayed viscoelastic system with Balakrishnan–Taylor damping

open access: yesBoundary Value Problems, 2023
This paper studies a Balakrishnan–Taylor viscoelastic wave equation with strong time-dependent delay. Under suitable assumptions on the coefficients of the delay term, we establish a generalized stability result, which improve some earlier results in the

An approximate model for the adhesive contact of rough viscoelastic surfaces [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Surface roughness is known to easily suppress the adhesion of elastic surfaces. Here a simple model for the contact of \emph{viscoelastic} rough surfaces with significant levels of adhesion is presented.
