Smart Nanogels as Enzyme‐Driven Nanomotors for Navigating Viscous Physiological Barriers

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Two families of urease‐powered nanomotors (NMs), with and without a p‐(2‐hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (p‐HEMA) shell, have been successfully prepared. Both types exhibit effective motion in highly viscous synovial fluid media at low urea concentrations (25 mM).

Active Viscoelasticity of Sarcomeres

open access: yesFrontiers in Robotics and AI, 2018
The perturbation response of muscle is important for the versatile, stable and agile control capabilities of animals. Muscle resists being stretched by developing forces in the passive tissues and in the active crossbridges.

Dynamically Adaptive Wrinkle‐Structured Light‐Regulating Films for Energy‐Efficient Buildings

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A scalable, moisture‐responsive cellulose nanofibril/polyvinyl alcohol (CNF/PVA)‐glycerol film with switchable wrinkled surfaces for dynamic light regulation is developed. Compared to glass, it achieves tunable light diffusion for daylight harvesting, thermal regulation, and privacy control.

A generalization of the Lomnitz logarithmic creep law via Hadamard fractional calculus

open access: yes, 2017
We present a new approach based on linear integro-differential operators with logarithmic kernel related to the Hadamard fractional calculus in order to generalize, by a parameter $\nu \in (0,1]$, the logarithmic creep law known in rheology as Lomnitz ...

Liquid‐Locked Bassanites for Scalable Fabrication of High‐Temperature Micro‐Supercapacitors Working at 300 °C

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A “liquid locking” strategy is proposed and implemented for scalable printing of crack‐free bassanite ceramic frameworks with interlocking microstructures to host ionic liquids as effective electrolytes for high‐temperature micro‐supercapacitors (HT‐MSCs).

Singular viscoelastic perturbation to soft lubrication

open access: yesPhysical Review Research
Soft lubrication has been shown to drastically affect the mobility of an object immersed in a viscous fluid in the vicinity of a purely elastic wall. In this theoretical article, we develop a minimal model incorporating viscoelasticity, carrying out a ...

Impact of the Microstructure of Polymer Drag Reducer on Slick-Water Fracturing

open access: yesGeofluids, 2017
Many studies have focused on the drag reduction performance of slick-water, but the microdrag reduction mechanism remains unclear since the microstructure of the drag reducer and its effect on this mechanism have not been well studied. In this study, the

Revealing the Auxetic Behavior of Biomimetic Multimaterial and Region‐Specific Nanofibrous Fascicle‐Inspired Scaffolds via Synchrotron Multiscale Digital Volume Correlation: Innovative Building Blocks for the Enthesis Regeneration

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Enthesis injuries are a worldwide healthcare problem. Biomimetic electrospun enthesis fascicle‐inspired scaffolds, with and without nano‐mineralization are developed. Human Mesenchymal Stromal cells (hMSCs) express the most balanced enthesis markers on the non‐mineralized scaffolds.
