Researchers have developed a new 3D-printable cellulose hydrogel that defies freezing temperatures, maintaining ionic conductivity and mechanical strength. The hydrogel exhibits shear-thinning behavior, allowing it to flow through a 3D printer nozzle and hold its shape.
A new bio-based conductive hydrogel platform is presented to preserve biomembrane activity and enable sensitive detection of organophosphate pesticides. The developed biosensor demonstrated stable operation, retaining 85.8% of its original electrochemical response after seven days.
Researchers designed a biomimetic triple-network hydrogel inspired by octopus skin, combining rigid photonic ordering with soft polymer networks. The material demonstrated substantial improvements in mechanical strength and structural color response under deformation.
Scientists successfully prepared stable polymeric nitrogen materials using a one pot method, achieving higher mass content due to the inclusion of lithium metal. The approach is promising for applications as a high energy density material with excellent ignition performance.
Researchers have developed new approaches to enhance the processability of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, a strong and impact-resistant plastic. The methods, which include active site engineering, chain transfer agents, and blending with high-density polyethylene, can improve the material's properties without sacrificing its...
Researchers studied polymeric nitrogen's properties, including cubic gauche, layered, and hexagonal forms, using advanced spectroscopy techniques. The study highlights the need for further research on synthesis methods, diagnostic methods, and high-pressure electronic band structure.
Semi-crystalline polymers' structure and properties depend on molecular chain entanglement. The researchers developed a model to predict their microscopic structure and properties, offering potential improvements or replacements with more sustainable materials.
A team of researchers from China and the UK has developed new ways to optimise the production of solar fuels by creating novel photocatalysts. These photocatalysts, such as titanium dioxide with boron nitride, can absorb more wavelengths of light and produce more hydrogen compared to traditional methods.
