Carbon sandwich: When a pyrrole-containing surfactant is polymerized between layers of silica (see picture; pyrrole red), subsequent carbonization and removal the template yields large, pure, single-layer graphene sheets. The procedure, which employs mild conditions, controllable can be used to produce micrometer-sized sheets on gram scale. Detailed facts importance specialist readers are published as "Supporting Information". Such documents peer-reviewed, but not copy-edited or typeset....

Flexible wearable pressure sensors have drawn tremendous interest for various applications in healthcare monitoring, disease diagnostics, and human-machine interaction. However, the limited sensing range (<10%), low sensitivity at small strains, mechanical stability high complicated fabrication process restrict extensive of these ultrasensitive full-range monitoring. Herein, a flexible sensor is presented with hierarchically microstructured framework combining microcrack interlocking,...

Hierarchical porous carbon shows great potential for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) removal due to its high surface area and abundant framework. However, current fabrication protocols are complex cause secondary pollution, limiting their application. Here, as a novel strategy, microbial lignocellulose decomposition pretreatment was introduced fabricate hierarchical (M-AC) from crude biomass substrate. The M-AC samples had specific areas (maximum: 2290 m2·g–1) surfaces characterized by...

Abstract New treatment strategies for spinal cord injury with good therapeutic efficacy are actively pursued. Here, acetalated dextran (AcDX), a biodegradable polymer obtained by modifying vicinal diols of dextran, is demonstrated to protect the traumatically injured cord. To facilitate its administration, AcDX formulated into microspheres (≈7.2 µm in diameter) droplet microfluidic technique. Intrathecally injected effectively reduce traumatic lesion volume and inflammatory response cord,...
