Decellularized allograft heart valves have been used as tissue-engineered heart valve (TEHV) scaffolds with promising results; however, little is known about the cellular mechanisms underlying TEHV neotissue formation. To better understand this phenomenon, we developed a murine model of decellularized pulmonary heart…

ABSTRACT In this study, we present a study of polypropylene/bentonite composites where stearic acid was used as both a surface and interface modifier during the compounding of composites. The concentration of bentonite was 1.5, 2.5, 5.0, and 10 parts per hundred. The composites were characterized by impact resistance…

Abstract Clear anti‐smudge coatings with a thickness of up to tens of micrometers have been prepared through a graft‐copolymer‐based approach from commercial precursors. The coatings repel water, diiodomethane, hexadecane, ink, and an artificial fingerprint liquid. In addition, they can be readily applied onto differe…

Electronic structures modification of polycrystalline LuFe2O4 across 3 dimensional to 2 dimensional charge ordering (CO) has been studied by resonance photoemission spectroscopy. Constant-initial-state spectra measured across 3p → 3d resonance energy indicate its charge transfer insulating behavior. Valance band spect…

Melamine resins were used as 50-μm-thick fire retardant coatings for polypropylene (PP). Preceding deposition, low-pressure plasma polymer films of allyl alcohol were coated onto PP to improve the adhesion between PP and melamine resin coatings. The efficiency of such fire retardant coatings was confirmed by flame tes…

The transition-metal dichalcogenides provided a good platform for the investigation of superconductivity and charge-density-wave (CDW) order. A series of high quality 6R-TaS2−xSex (0 ≤ x ≤ 1.6) single crystals were fabricated by the chemical-vapor-transport method and systematically investigated. The CDW becomes more…
