We propose an approach to detect spin currents in an even zigzag graphene nanoribbon (ZR) junction, based on the peculiar intervalley selection rule in the ribbon when only zero-energy modes are involved in transport. Spatial spin separation arises from the bipolar property of the undoped ZR and opposite pseudoparitie…

Abstract Biopolymers and natural fibers are receiving wide attention for the potential to have good performance composites with low environmental impact. A current limitation of most biopolymers is however their change in mechanical properties at elevated temperatures. This study investigates the mechanical properties…

Abstract The addition of autonomic healing (frequently defined as self‐healing) capabilities to a water‐soluble polymer (polyethylene oxide, PEO) is for the first time reported. The self‐healing system consists of urea‐formaldehyde microcapsules filled with dicyclopentadiene and first‐generation Grubbs catalyst, dispe…

Prevention of coagulation appears not to be possible when a foreign surface is in contact with blood; the alternative concept of a clot lysing surface has therefore been suggested. In this work, a mimic of the fibrinolytic system was constructed on L605 cobalt-chromium coronary stents. Lysine which, immobilized on a s…

Measurements of platelet adhesion and fibrinogen adsorption from flowing whole blood to a series of polyethylene oxide (PEO)-based materials were carried out. A unique experimental design was used in which both quantities were measured in the same experiment. The materials consisted of a polyurethane (PU) as a matrix…

Adipose tissue engineering aims to grow fat tissue for soft tissue reconstruction after tumour resection or trauma. However, insufficient progenitor cell differentiation and poor vascularization compromise the generation of clinically applicable adipose tissue. The desired process of neo-adipogenesis seems to be diffi…

Yersinia pestis protein Pla is a plasmid-coded outer membrane protein with aspartic-protease activity. Pla exhibits a plasminogen (Plg) activator activity (PAA) that promotes the cleavage of Plg to the active serine-protease form called plasmin. Exactly how Pla activates Plg into plasmin remains unclear. To investigat…
