A Termite‐Inspired Alternative to Cement
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A termite‐inspired composite of clay, cellulose, and lignin forms a dense fibrous network with concrete‐like strength (32 MPa) and superior elasticity, processed at ambient temperature. Abstract Clay combined with organic materials is used by termites as a strong and durable construction material for their mounds with minimal environmental impact. Here,

Multiscale Structuring of Hydroxyapatite via Two‐Photon Lithography of Nanocomposites
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Hydroxyapatite scaffolds are of great interest in bone tissue engineering applications, ranging from 3D cell culture to regenerative medicine. Using two‐photon lithography of a transparent nanocomposite, hydroxyapatite microstructures with features ranging from submicron to centimeter‐scale are fabricated. This allows to mimic the natural bone geometry,

Wood Decay Resistance Employing Nanoparticle Protective Systems
International Journal of Conservation Science, 2023 In this paper, nanoparticle dispersions (nanosilver, copper nano oxide, nanozinc, and nanosilica) have been formulated to be used as protective impregnants. Since all the components of the formulations could be charged according to the pH of the medium, the solutions were formulated with the two profiles of pH=3 and pH=8 (pH changes were handled with ...

Tannin resin-boron associations: Leaching and biological resistance [PDF]
, 2012 The easy leaching of boron in wood preservation formulations has allowed to use this fungicide only for short term applications. The recently discovered adduct with flavonoids allows boron to resist longer periods of time within wood and consequently ...
