Recent studies have shown that introducing vinylene bridges into naphthalenediimide (NDI)-based dual-acceptor copolymers is an effective strategy to improve backbone coplanarity and charge transport properties in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs). However, their potential as multifunctional materials

Biopolymers such as gelatin, hyaluronic acid, and chitin are used in the form of hydrogels as scaffolds for tissue engineering and as bioinks for bioprinting. The biopolymers themselves tend to be weak and hence are usually chemically functionalized to improve their stability and tenacity. The chemical funct

THP-1 is a monocytic cell line which can differentiate into macrophage and dendritic cells, widely used in immunology. Immune cells are particularly sensitive to cryopreservation, leading to low recovery and/or reduced differentiation capacity compared to non-frozen cells. Current cryopreservation protocols

Because of their unique properties, ionogels are very suitable for wide application in fields such as energy storage devices and wearable devices, but poor mechanical strength limits their practical use. Polyols or compounds containing multiple unsaturated double bonds are typically used as cross-linking age

Stimuli-responsive hydrogels have gained significant attention in wound care due to their ability to adapt to dynamic physiological conditions, making them promising candidates for facilitating chronic wound healing. These hydrogels can respond to both internal and external environmental stimuli such as temperature

In recent years, taking inspiration from mussel, an underwater organism, various packaging alternatives including adhesive coatings have been developed for food preservation to ensure food availability for everyone. The extraordinary adhesion exhibited by mussel is mainly offered by mussel foot proteins cont

Supercapacitors are a highly effective choice for energy storage applications. The high specific power, quick charge–discharge time, and inexpensive upkeep of supercapacitors have sparked immense interest in the energy industry and research. The advancement of high-quality supercapacitors depends heavily on

Thermally conductive and electrically insulating hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) is essential for thermal interface materials (TIMs) to effectively transfer heat from the source to sink in laptops and ...
