Crystalline hydrates of macrocyclic compounds such as pyroagllol[4]arenes (PgCs) and resorcin[4]arenes (RsCs) are rare owing to their lower water solubility. Functionalization of these macrocyclic compounds is an affordable way to enhance water solubility. However, functionalization also encounters the formation of multiple conformers and subsequent difficulty in purification of the product. Herein, four novel crystalline hydrates of functionalized PgCs and RsCs were synthesized. Formation of water channels and the effects of intermolecular interactions on the physical properties of these novel hydrates are discussed.

The abnormally viscous and thick mucus is a hallmark of cystic fibrosis (CF). How the mutated CF gene causes abnormal mucus remains an unanswered question of paramount interest. Mucus is produced by the hydration of gel-forming mucin macromolecules that are stored in intracellular granules prior to release.

Cementitious Capillary Crystallization Waterproofing Material (CCCW), as an efficient self-healing agent, can effectively repair damage in concrete structures, thereby extending their service life. To address the various types of damage encountered in practical engineering applications, this study investigates the impact of different mixing methods for CCCW (including internal mixing, curing, and post-crack repair) on the multi-dimensional self-healing performance of concrete. The self-healing capacity of concrete was evaluated through water pressure damage self-healing tests, freeze-thaw damage self-healing tests, mechanical load damage self-healing tests, and crack damage self-healing tests.

Hard-to-cook (HTC) beans are characterised by extended cooking times. Although the changes in cell walls limiting hydration in HTC beans are widely investigated, the role of macro-molecules (starch and protein, which constitute >80 % of beans) are almost overlooked. This study investigates the structural changes in starch associated with the HTC quality in faba and adzuki beans stored at contrasting temperature and humidity regimes.

Knowledge Gap: The aggregation of clay minerals in liquid water exemplifies colloidal self-assembly in nature. These negatively charged aluminosilicate platelets interact through multiple mechanisms with different sensitivities to particle shape, surface charge, aqueous chemistry, and interparticle distance and exhibit complex aggregation structures. Experiments have difficulty resolving the associated colloidal assemblages at the scale of individual particles.
