Superior Impact‐Resistant Composite Hydrogels Through an Ionic Coupling Strategy
An ionic coupling strategy is developed to simultaneously reinforce networks and interfaces in composite hydrogels. Sodium citrate acts as a single multifunctional ionic coupler to strengthen the poly(vinyl alcohol) matrix via the Hofmeister effect, reinforce the chitosan–sodium alginate nanofiber network via desolvation and electrostatic crosslinking,

This review traces the evolution of lithium‐ion battery separators from passive barriers to multifunctional components central to cell safety and performance. Polymer‐ceramic hybrids, nanofiber architectures, and bio‐derived membranes deliver ionic conductivities above 3 mS cm−1, thermal stability beyond 200 °C, and effective suppression of lithium ...

A Comparative Study on Early‐Stage Icing Evaluation Techniques for Passive Ice Protection Systems
This study addresses the lack of standardized methodologies for evaluating the early‐stage icing performance of passive ice protection systems. A unified experimental protocol is proposed and applied to representative hydrophilic and hydrophobic surfaces under controlled conditions.

Influence of the Substrate Temperature on the Growth Mechanism of Allylamine Plasma Polymer Films
The influence of the substrate temperature on the growth mechanism of allylamine plasma polymers is investigated by correlating the plasma chemistry and the physico‐chemical properties of the coatings. New insights about the mechanistic formation of functionalized plasma polymers at a molecular level are provided, paving the way toward a better ...

ABSTRACT Capturing proteins is easy since their amphiphilic nature allows them to bind to almost any surface. Because of this, releasing them is challenging since various interactions need to be considered for this. We present a simple method to reversibly adsorb proteins on stabilized electrodes.

Bistable Wetting States on a Smooth Surface
Droplets on non‐textured surfaces typically exhibit a monostable wetting state. Here, we show that droplets can exhibit bistability even without surface texture. We investigate water droplets on a smooth substrate immersed in oil. We find that molecular modulation causes the droplet states to bifurcate into either a sticking or a repellent state ...
