Isoporous membranes with sub-10 nm pores prepared from supramolecular interaction facilitated block copolymer assembly and application for protein separation

Zhu, Guo-dong; Ying, Yu-rong; Li, Xuan; Liu, Yang; Yang, Cao-ying; Yi, Zhuan; Gao, Cong-jie

Isoporous membranes with pore size smaller than 10 nm are significantly important for molecular separation. However, preparation of such membranes from process containing self-assembly and non-solvent induced phase separation (SNIPS) is challenging, and only few works were conducted until now. Herein, we described that membranes with pore size down to 8.6 nm…

Crystalline structure, dielectric, and mechanical properties of simultaneously biaxially stretched polyvinylidene fluoride film

Lu, Hongchao; Li, Li

Biaxially stretched films have balanced properties in the film plane compared with uniaxially stretched films, thus having wider potential applications. In this paper, the simultaneously biaxial stretching (BO) technology had been applied to poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) melt extrusion film, and the crystalline structure, dielectric, and mechanical properties of the…

Inkless Writing and Self-Erasing Security Feature of (Z)-1,2-Diarylacrylonitrile-Based Materials: A Confidential Data Communication

Panda, Tamas; Maiti, Dilip K.; Panda, Manas K.

Development of a novel organic luminescent material for inkless writing, and self-erasing application is a remarkable solution to reduce paper waste, recycling cost in the printing industry. These innovative materials also offer to reduce global warming due to the lower consumption of paper made from plants. To this endeavor, herein…

Muscle-Inspired Highly Anisotropic, Strong, Ion-Conductive Hydrogels

Kong, Weiqing; Wang, Chengwei; Jia, Chao; Kuang, Yudi; Pastel, Glenn; Chen, Chaoji; Chen, Gegu; He, Shuaiming; Huang, Hao; Zhang, Jianhua; Wang, Sha; Hu, Liangbing

Biological tissues generally exhibit excellent anisotropic mechanical properties owing to their well-developed microstructures. Inspired by the aligned structure in muscles, a highly anisotropic, strong, and conductive wood hydrogel is developed by fully utilizing the high–tensile strength of natural wood, and the flexibility and high-water content of hydrogels. The wood hydrogel…

Interaction of the Saponin Aescin with Ibuprofen in DMPC Model Membranes

Sreij, Ramsia; Prévost, Sylvain; Dargel, Carina; Dattani, Rajeev; Hertle, Yvonne; Wrede, Oliver; Hellweg, Thomas

In the present work, we study the interaction of the saponin aescin with the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) ibuprofen at concentrations of 1.2–2.5 mM. These amounts are higher than those usually used for medication (10–300 μM) to show possible structures and formulations for orally absorbed drug delivery systems. It is…

Aluminum pillared montmorillonite clay-based self-healing coatings for corrosion protection of magnesium alloy AZ91D

Adsul, Swapnil H.; Siva, T.; Sathiyanarayanan, S.; Sonawane, Shirish H.; Subasri, R.

In the present study, aluminum pillared montmorillonite clay was modified with cationic corrosion inhibitors Ce3+/Zr4+. The modification of the montmorillonite clay was carried out by two methods; (a) by simple mixing of inhibitor solutions along with clay by stirring for 30 min and (b) by homogenization of inhibitor solutions and clay…

Structural and Dynamical Properties of Water Confined in Highly Ordered Mesoporous Silica in the Presence of Electrolytes

Baum, Markus; Rébiscoul, Diane; Juranyi, Fanni; Rieutord, Francois

The structural and dynamical properties of water confined in highly ordered mesoporous silica (SBA-15) in the presence of ions having various kosmotropic properties (XCl2 with X = Ba2+, Ca2+, and Mg2+) were characterized using thermogravimetric analysis, infrared spectroscopy, and quasi-elastic neutron scattering and were related to the surface density of…

Antibacterial properties of human beta defensin-3 derivative: CHRG01

Arora, A.; Majhi, S.; Mishra, A.

Antibiotic resistance in bacteria is a major health concern. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a class of peptides that are efficient in killing most microbes yet development of resistance to AMPs is rare. However, complex secondary and tertiary structures and difficulties in isolating AMPs have limited their use as antibiotics. It…

Polyurethane/carbon fiber composite tubular electrode featuring three-dimensional interpenetrating conductive network

Zhang, Kailin; Li, Yijun; Zhou, Huan; Nie, Min; Wang, Qi; Hua, Zhengkun

Flexible and stretchable electronics are important components in medical implantation, wearable durable devices and so on. However, conductive stability often conflicts with the mechanical stretchability in terms of decreased conductivity from the deformation. Here, we proposed a facile and effective strategy to construct a three-dimensional interpenetrating alignment configuration of conductive…
