Poly(ethylene-co-isosorbide terephthalate) (PEIT) copolyesters could be used in various applications depending on their ability to crystallize. Moreover, the possibility to carry out solid-state post-condensation (SSP) is conditioned by its ability to sufficiently crystallize. The present study, thus, gives a systemat…

Nettle is a cellulosic plant fiber with a reasonably large lumen and they are a cheap, easily renewable source of fibers with the potential for oil absorbency. To the author’s best knowledge, there are no published data available on the oil absorbency behavior of alkali-treated nettle fibers. In this work, alkali trea…

The nucleolar structure and integrity are important for a range of cellular functions of the nucleoli. It has been shown that cells lacking histone H3 Lysine 9 (H3K9) methylation form fragmented nucleoli. However, the molecular mechanism involved remains poorly understood. Here, we present evidence suggesting that los…

The mass production of graphene is of great interest for commercialization and industrial applications. Here, we demonstrate that high-quality graphene nanosheets can be produced in large quantities by liquid-phase shear exfoliation under ambient conditions in organic solvents, such as 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (NMP),…

In the presence of advection at a constant flow rate in a rectilinear geometry, the properties of planar A + B → C reaction fronts feature the same temporal scalings as in the pure reaction–diffusion case. In a radial injection geometry where A is injected into B radially at a constant flow rate Q, temporal scalings a…

Calcified minerals in biogenic materials often play a utilitarian role, such as structural supports in bone, teeth, and shells, where the crystals are arranged in well-ordered arrays (1, 2). The ability of organisms to produce single crystalline scaffolds and hierarchical architectures with unique features, such as be…

Abstract A thermocell with use of the electrochemical Seebeck coefficient ( α ≡ d E d T ; E and T are the redox potential and temperature, respectively). is a promising energy-harvesting device. α is the key parameter that governs the thermal efficiency ( η ) of the thermocell. Here, we systematically investigated the…

Silk fibroin (SF) membranes are finding widespread use as biomaterial scaffolds in a range of tissue engineering applications. The control over SF scaffold degradation kinetics is usually driven by the proportion of SF crystalline domains in the formulation, but membranes with a high β-sheet content are brittle and st…

One of the main challenges in increasing the efficacy of conventional chemotherapeutics is the fact that they do not reach cancerous cells at a sufficiently high dosage. In order to remedy this deficiency, nanoparticle-based drugs have evolved as a promising novel approach to more specific tumour targeting. Neverthele…
