Lignin is evaluated as a nature-inspired broad-spectrum sun blocker in sunscreen lotions.
Flexible and porous aerogels are obtained by combining functional metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) structural cellulose nanocrystals via a straightforward water-based sol–gel process, followed freeze-drying. The have hierarchical structure with controllable MOF loading up to 50 wt%. These hybrid materials can be used as absorbents for water purification. As service our authors readers, this journal provides supporting information supplied the authors. Such peer reviewed may re-organized...
Poly(4,8-dialkyl-2,6-bis(3-alkylthiophen-2-yl)benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b']dithiophene) 1 represents a new class of polymer semiconductors which self-assemble into higher structural orders without thermal annealing and provide excellent field-effect transistor performance with mobility up to 0.25 cm2 V-1 s-1 when used as solution-processed thin-film semiconductor in transistors.
Surfaces based on grafted poly(2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine) (poly(MPC)) "brushes" with a constant graft density of 0.39 chain/nm2 and chain length from 5 to 200 monomer units were prepared by surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) silicon wafers. The layer thickness the poly(MPC) grafts varied via ratio MPC sacrificial initiator. surfaces characterized water contact angle, XPS, AFM. effect fibrinogen lysozyme adsorption was studied in TBS buffer at pH 7.4....
Five types of industrial lignin are blended with a pure cream and commercial sunscreen lotion. Lignin is found to significantly boost their performance. Photostability the lignin-modified lotions analyzed. The results show that hydrophobic has better performance than hydrophilic counterpart. Sun protection factor (SPF) containing 10% organosolv (OL) reaches 8.66. Small amount dramatically increases SPF value lotions. Adding 1% almost doubles sun lotion's SPF. Addition OL lotion boosts its...
Abstract “Air‐conditioning” textiles with thermal‐ or moisture‐managing functions are of high interest for not only improving human comfort but also reducing energy consumption. However, making the textile sensitive to surrounding environment and exhibit adaptive thermal/moisture management still remains a great challenge. Herein, double‐sided synergetic Janus is developed, featuring reversible diode‐like water transportation adjustable thermal convection upon temperature change. The...
Elastomers have many industrial, medical and commercial applications, however, their huge demand raises an important question of how to dispose the out-of-service elastomers. Ideal elastomers that are concurrently tough, recyclable, degradable in urgent need, but preparation remains a rigorous challenge. Herein, polycaprolactone (PCL) based polyurethane elastomer is designed prepared meet this demand. Owing presence dynamic coordination bond occurrence strain-induced crystallization,...
Abstract Elastomers are widely used in daily life; however, the preparation of degradable and recyclable elastomers with high strength, toughness, excellent crack resistance remains a challenging task. In this report, polycaprolactone‐based poly(urethane‐urea) elastomer is presented mechanical properties by optimizing arrangement hard segment clusters. It found that long alkyl chains chain extenders lead to small evenly distributed clusters, which beneficial for improving properties....

The MOF-alginate composites are prepared through post-treatment metal ion cross-linked hydrogel with ligand solution. well distributed and embedded on surface composites. macroscopic shape composite can be designed by controlling corresponding...
Highly sensitive pressure sensors are usually made from soft materials that allow large deformations to be obtained when very small pressures applied. Unfortunately, this current paradigm limits the ability create capable of high sensitivities and broad dynamic ranges as these prone saturation responses attempting obtain measurements involving pressures. In paper, we detail a piezoresistive sensor is sensitivity over range spanning 0.6 Pa (a mosquito touching surface) 200 kPa (an elephant...
This work reports the development of a new polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) system through reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT)-mediated dispersion polymerization in ionic liquids. Three representative monomers (styrene, n-butyl methacrylate, and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) were polymerized extension from trithiocarbonate-terminated poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) macro-RAFT agent, model liquid [bmim][PF6]. The block copolymers thus prepared could spontaneously...
