Temperature-Tolerant Versatile Conductive Zwitterionic Nanocomposite Organohydrogel toward Multisensory Applications.

Conductive hydrogels (CHs) are emerging materials for next generation sensing systems in flexible electronics. However, the fabrication of competent CHs with excellent stretchability, adhesion, self-healing, photothermal conversion, multisensing, and environmental stability remains a huge challenge. Herein, a nanocomposite organohydrogel with the above features is constructed by in situ copolymerization of zwitterionic monomer and acrylamide in the existence of carboxylic cellulose nanofiber-carrying reduced graphene oxide (rGO) plus a solvent displacement strategy.

Illuminating the Characteristics and Assembly of Prokaryotic Communities across a pH Gradient in Pit Muds for the Production of Chinese Strong-Flavor Baijiu.

Pit mud (PM), as an important source of microorganisms, is necessary for Chinese strong-flavor baijiu (CSFB) production. Although it has been revealed that the PM prokaryotic community diversities are influenced by its quality, product area, ages, etc., the characteristics and assembly process of the prokaryotic community in PMs across a pH gradient are still unclear.

Influence of plastic aggregate geometry on strength properties of cement-stabilized macadam.

In order to improve the toughness and flexibility of cement-stabilized macadam and inhibit crack formation and propagation, the influence of plastic aggregate geometry on the strength properties of cement-stabilized macadam is studied. The surface roughness of plastic aggregate was designed into Ra 12.5 and Ra 25.

Preparation, multi-scale structures, and functionalities of acetylated starch: An updated review.

Acetylated starch has been widely used as food additives. However, there was limited information available regarding the impact of acetylation on starch structure and functionalities, as well as the advanced acetylation technologies. This review aimed to summarize current methods for starch acetylation and discuss the structure and functionalities of acetylated starch.

Starch ordered structures control starch reassembly behaviors during heat-moisture treatment for modulating its digestibility.

This study investigated the effect of starch crystallinity on starch reassembly behaviors during the heat-moisture treatment (HMT) using starches with A-type crystal content of 0.00%-19.03%.

Modulation effect of black rice dietary fiber on the metabolism and fermentation of cyanidin-3-glucoside in an human colonic model.

Black rice ( L.) is a great source of anthocyanins and dietary fiber and possesses various health-promoting properties. The modulating effect of insoluble dietary fiber (IDF) from black rice on the fermentation of cyanidin-3--glucoside (Cy3G) in an human colonic model, together with the possible microbiota-mediated mechanisms, was investigated.
