Orb-weaving spiders spin five fibrous silks from differentiated glands that contain unique sets of proteins. Despite diverse ecological functions, the mechanical properties of most of these silks are not well characterized. Here, we quantify the mechanical performance of this toolkit of silks for the silver garden spi…

We report a novel approach for the controlled delivery of an antiinflammatory, chemopreventive drug by an enzyme-triggered drug release mechanism via the degradation of encapsulated hydrogels. The hydro- and organogelators are synthesized in high yields from renewable resources by using regioselective enzyme catalysis…

A multiphase-field model previously proposed by the authors is reformulated in a thermodynamically consistent form and extended to multicomponent systems. The phase-field and diffusion equations, derived from a free energy functional, are compared to those postulated in the previous model in the limit of a binary allo…

We calculate the mode-dependent transmission probability of massless Dirac fermions through an ideal strip of graphene (length L, width W, no impurities or defects) to obtain the conductance and shot noise as a function of Fermi energy. We find that the minimum conductivity of order e2/h at the Dirac point (when the e…

Abstract The study mainly investigates the improvement of the comparative tracking index (CTI) on brominated epoxy resins in a copper clad laminate. We compare the effects of the differences in structures of various epoxy resins on the CTI. In addition, on the basis of the proportion of inorganic fillers and type, we…

We report on the pressure effects on the orbital polaron lattice in the lightly doped manganites ${\mathrm{La}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{Sr}}_{x}{\mathrm{MnO}}_{3}$, with $x\ensuremath{\sim}1∕8$. The dependence of the orbital polaron lattice on negative chemical pressure is studied by substituting Pr for La in $({\m…
