Cyanoacrylates have numerous advantages, including that they can be applied quickly during first aid and can provide good cosmetic outcomes, but they also have limitations in that they have a low bond strength and local tissue toxicity. Consequently, they are primarily used only in urgent applications. To improve both the biocompatibility and the mechanical properties of cyanoacrylate, allyl 2-cyanoacrylate (AC) was prepolymerized and mixed with a dopamine co-initiator. Various properties of prepolymerized AC (PAC)/dopamine mixtures were tested using mouse fibroblast cell (L-929), including their bond strength, setting time, crystallization intensity, and cytotoxicity. Enhanced mechanical properties and biocompatibility were confirmed, and a cytotoxicity test was used to determine the optimal conditions for prepolymerization of AC to be 130°C for 60min. A combination of 5mg of dopamine in 5ml of PAC achieved a high bond strength with cytotoxicity of the dopamine/PAC at approximately 1.5 times lower than that of PAC. These results indicate that dopamine/PAC materials can be extensively used as advanced bio-glues in various applications.

Pd cocatalysts show great potential for the photocatalytic production of H2O2. However, the catalytic efficiency of Pd cocatalyst is limited due to the strong adsorption of O2, which promotes O-O bond cleavage and thus reduces selectivity for the two-electron O2 reduction reaction. Considering that adjusting the electron density of Pd can predominately optimize Pd-Oads bond strength, in this work, electron-rich Pd sites are constructed by introducing Bi2Se3 middle layer between Pd cocatalysts and (010) facet of BiVO4 using an in-situ selenization strategy.

Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) exhibits re-processable properties, but the properties of TPU is deteriorated during the reprocessing for the oxidation and degradation of polymer chains. Meanwhile, although thermoset polyurethane exhibits excellent mechanical properties, it cannot be recycled for permanent crosslinking. Hence, it's still a challenge to obtain PU which exhibits the balance between the recyclability and mechanical properties.

This study investigated the effects of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii polysaccharides (CRPs) on retarding the retrogradation of japonica rice starch (JS) and glutinous rice starch (GS). Structure characterization revealed that CRPs, with an average molecular weight of 505 kDa, mainly consisted of glucose, mannose, and galactose and featured a triple-helix structure. CRPs could reduce the storage modulus increment of JS during the cooling process by interacting with amylose, thereby inhibiting gel network formation.

Construction of core-shell structured electrocatalysts with a thin noble metal shell is an effective strategy for lowering the usage of the noble metal and improving electrocatalytic properties because of the structure-induced geometric and electronic effects. Here, the synthesis of a novel core-shell structured nanocatalyst consisting of a thin amorphous Pd shell and a crystalline PdCu core and its significantly improved electrocatalytic properties for both formic acid oxidation and oxygen reduction reactions are shown. The electrocatalyst exhibits 4.

The viability of using fibers as reinforcement material for developing lightweight sustainable non-structural construction materials in compliance with the valorization of local by-products has been investigated in this work. This study aims to investigate the effect of the chemical treatment of fibers on the mechanical and hygric properties of bio-sourced clay-sand- fiber composite. This lightweight specimen has been produced from a mixture of 60% natural clay and 40% sand by mass, as a matrix, and reinforced with different amounts of Juncus fibers.
