It is a challenge to manufacture pressure‐sensing materials that possess flexibility, high sensitivity, large‐area compliance, and capability detect both tiny large motions for the development of artificial intelligence products. Herein, very simple low‐cost approach proposed fabricate versatile pressure sensors based on microcrack‐designed carbon black (CB)@polyurethane (PU) sponges via natural polymer‐mediated water‐based layer‐by‐layer assembly. These are capable satisfying requirements...
A 3D graphene nanoplatelets/reduced oxide foam/epoxy nanocomposite exhibits superior electromagnetic interference shielding and excellent thermal conductivity.
Strain sensors play an important role in the next generation of artificially intelligent products. However, it is difficult to achieve a good balance between desirable performance and easy-to-produce requirement strain sensors. In this work, we proposed simple, cost-efficient, large-area compliant strategy for fabricating highly sensitive sensor by coating polyurethane (PU) yarn with ultrathin, elastic, robust conductive polymer composite (CPC) layer consisting carbon black natural rubber....
Cellulose aerogels with low density, high mechanical strength, and thermal conductivity are promising candidates for environmentally friendly heat insulating materials. The application of cellulose as insulators in building domestic appliances, however, is hampered by their highly flammable characteristics. In this work, flame retardant were fabricated from waste cotton fabrics situ synthesis magnesium hydroxide nanoparticles (MH NPs) gel nanostructures, followed freeze-drying. Our results...
Electronic sensors capable of capturing mechanical deformation are highly desirable for the next generation artificial intelligence products. However, it remains a challenge to prepare self-healing, sensitive, and cost-efficient both tiny large human motion monitoring. Here, new kind versatile strain has been developed by combining metal–ligand chemistry with hierarchical structure design. Specifically, self-healing nanostructured conductive layer is deposited onto elastomer substrate...
A novel and straightforward synthetic strategy was developed to prepare silver nanoparticles-doped cellulose microgels (Ag NPs@CMG) nanohybrids at room temperature. Residual alkali (sodium hydroxide/urea) from a dissolving system reused acted as functional accelerant, which made it possible for Ag+ be reduced Ag0 by CMG temperature, yielding Ag NPs decorated on CMG. The as-prepared NPs@CMG exhibited excellent catalytic performance in reduction of 4-nitrophenol organic dyes. Moreover, the...
The AgriFood systems in tropical climates are under strain due to a rapid increase human population and extreme environmental conditions that limit the efficacy of packaging technologies extend food shelf life guarantee safety. To address these challenges, we rationally designed biodegradable materials sense spoilage prevent molding.

Molecules chemically synthesized as periodic two-dimensional (2D) frameworks via covalent bonds can form some of the highest-surface area and -charge density particles possible. There is significant potential for applications such nanocarriers in life sciences if biocompatibility be achieved; however, synthetic challenges remain avoiding kinetic traps from disordered linking during 2D polymerization compatible monomers, resulting isotropic polycrystals without a long-range order. Here, we...
Diets rich in whole grain (WG) cereals bring lower disease risks compared with refined grain-based diets. We investigated the effects of polished rice (PR), wheat (RW), unpolished (UPR), and (WW) on short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) gut microbiota ileal, cecal, colonic digesta normal rats. Animals fed UPR WW diets exhibited higher total SCFA cecal those PR RW Wheat contributed than In digesta, animals demonstrated acetate butyrate contents given RW. Firmicutes were dominant eumycota rat ileum...
In this work, a facile and sustainable strategy for ferric ion (Fe3+) detection was developed the first time based on coordination bonding between Fe3+ polydopamine (PDA) modified cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) (PDA@CNC). PDA, as probe molecule detection, in situ synthesized onto CNC template via one-pot oxidative polymerization of biological dopamine, yielding nanosized well-dispersed PDA@CNC nanohybrid. When met Fe3+, PDA led to rapid agglomeration PDA@CNC, resulting macroscopical flocculent...
Abstract True ileal digestibility (TID) values of amino acid (AA) obtained using growing rats are often used for the characterisation protein quality in different foods and acquisition digestible indispensable scores (DIAAS) adult humans. Here, we conducted an experiment to determine TID AA from nine cooked cereal grains (brown rice, polished buckwheat, oats, proso millet, foxtail tartary adlay whole wheat) fed Sprague–Dawley male rats. All were a standard basal diet 7 d then received each...
Amyloid fibrils have generated steadily increasing traction in the development of natural and artificial materials. However, it remains a challenge to construct bulk amyloid films directly from due their intrinsic brittleness.

Improving poplar productivity across a wide spectrum of nitrogen conditions is primary objective in breeding. In this research, we engineered transgenic poplars to overexpress the aspartate aminotransferase 10 (AspAT10) gene. The results showed that these plantlets significantly outperformed wild-type control terms growth under both nitrogen-poor and nitrogen-rich conditions, exhibiting increased biomass, height, root development. This improvement was linked changes internal pools (including...
