Background: Spreadability is a critical performance attribute for semisolid formulations, influencing patient compliance, dose uniformity, and product acceptability. Despite its importance, there is no standardized method for its assessment across ph...
The design of sustainable hydrogel materials with tunable mechanical and thermal properties is essential for emerging applications in flexible and wearable electronics. In this study, hydrogels based on natural gums such as Guar, Tara, and Xanthan an...
This study investigates the impact of ultrasonic treatment on the deagglomeration of aggregates of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO). The aim of the research is to enhance the electrical conductivity of a biopol...
This study investigated the influence of coconut oil concentration (0–2%) on the nonlinear rheological and thermal behavior of soy protein concentrate (SPC) mixtures and integrated these data into computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models to pr...
Gel electrolytes have rapidly emerged as indispensable components in modern electrochemical systems, bridging the performance gap between liquid and solid electrolytes [...]
LACMA’s 19th-century Tibetan Altar Table with Auspicious Symbols is characterized by a complex stratigraphy comprising animal glue-based ground and paint layers, a presumably original tung oil-based varnish, and a dark surface layer composed of...
In this work, a flexible, stretchable, tough, highly ionic conductive, and anti-freezing hydrogel based on acrylamide/two-dimensional transition metal carbide (MXene)/montmorillonite (MMT) was precisely designed. In the hydrogel, MXene and MMT acted...
The rapid advancement of wearable technology has created an increasing demand for efficient, high-performance energy storage systems that also offer key characteristics such as flexibility, lightweight, and durability. Among the emerging materials, p...
Bioengineered functional salivary tissues can advance regenerative therapies, preclinical drug testing, and the fundamental understanding of salivary gland dysfunction. Current salivary tissue models are typically Matrigel-based, hydrogel-based or sc...
Ultra-soft injectable hydrogels are paramount in biomedical applications such as tissue fillers, drug depots, and tissue regeneration scaffolds. Synthetic approaches relying on linear polymers are confronted by the necessity for significant dilution...
