A building block approach, using a variety of benign solvent compositions and additives, offers continuously developing strategy to render solvent-based electrospinning increasingly sustainable for the generation polymer nanofibers.
Abstract Thermally reversible thermosets are synthesized based on furan functionalized polyketones crosslinked with (methylene‐di‐ p ‐phenylene)bis‐maleimide. The number of groups present along the backbone and crosslinker/furan molar ratio varied. According to DSC measurements de‐crosslinking temperature does not change significantly as function intake its crosslinker. All samples show an almost complete recovery storage loss modulus. recycled up seven times without significant quality...
A profound understanding of how to tailor surface topographies electrospun fibers is great importance for sensitive applications including optical sensing, catalysis, drug delivery and tissue engineering. Hereby, a novel approach comprehend the driving forces fiber topography formation introduced through inclusion dynamic solvent-polymer interaction during formation. Thus, interplay between polymer solubility as well computed jet temperature changes in function time solvent evaporation...
Injectable hydrogel adhesives, especially those that can strongly adhere to tissues and feature near-native tissue mechanical properties, are desirable biomaterials for repair. Compared nonadhesive injectable hydrogels minimally invasive delivery of therapeutic agents, they better retain the delivered agents at targeted locations provide additional local physical barriers. However, regardless recent advances, an ideal adhesive with both proper adhesion matching between is yet be demonstrated...
Luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs) have attracted considerable attention in recent years for their advantages absorbing diffusive light and increasing the cost-effectiveness of cells; however, compatibility with flexible photovoltaics energy transfer (ET) efficiency still require improvement. In this work, amphiphilic polymer conetworks (APCNs) are employed as matrices wearable LSCs owing to flexibility wearability. Furthermore, assistance APCNs' nanophase separated hydrophobic...
Abstract The imaging of real‐time fluxes K + ions in live cell with high dynamic range (5–150 × 10 −3 m ) is paramount importance for neuroscience and physiology the gastrointestinal tract, kidney, other tissues. In particular, research on high‐performance deep‐red fluorescent nanoparticle‐based biosensors highly anticipated. It found that boron‐dipyrromethene (BODIPY)‐based ‐sensitive fluoroionophore FI3 encapsulated cationic polymer RL100 nanoparticles displays unusually strong efficiency...
Abstract Nanoparticle (NP) colloidal stability plays a crucial role in biomedical application not only for human and environmental safety but also NP efficiency functionality. agglomeration is considered as possible process monodispersed solutions, which drastically affects stability. This triggered by changes the physicochemical properties of surrounding media, such ionic strength (IS), pH value, or presence biomolecules. Despite different available characterization methods nanoparticles...
Discrete solid-state phosphorescent oxygen sensors produced by local solvent-crazing of high density polyethylene films are described. The simple spotting dye solution followed tensile drawing the polymer substrate provides uniform nanostructures with good spatial control, effective encapsulation molecules, and quenchability O2. dye-polymer composite prepared using toluene as a solvent stabilized annealing at temperature, show moderate optical signals, near-optimal sensitivity to O2 (RSD 21...

Abstract Electronic textile (E‐textile), an emerging technology, has the potential to revolutionize consumer electronics by transforming them into wearable devices. Highly conductive, conductors, suitable for commercialization, have yet not been developed. Here, a new metal‐textile laser welding method is presented rapid one‐step, stable, and cost‐efficient manufacturing of electrically conductive textiles. This direct on‐textile approach customized 2D nanothick metal coatings with flexible...
Microfluidic wet spinning has gained increasing interest in recent years as an alternative to conventional by offering higher control fiber morphology and a gateway for the development of multi-material fibers. Conventionally, microfluidic chips used create such fibers are fabricated soft lithography, method that requires both time investment necessary cleanroom facilities. Recently, additive manufacturing techniques were investigated rapid cost-efficient prototyping. However, these devices...
