In this study, nondegradable poly (carbonate urethane) (PCU) and poly (carbonate urethane) incorporated variable FeO content microspheres (PCU/FeO) were synthesized using pre-polymerization and suspension polymerization. Synthesis was confirmed through Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The effect of FeO incorporation was investigated on crystalline, thermal, shape memory and degradation properties by X-Ray diffraction (XRD), Differential scanning calorimetery (DSC), compression test and degradation in vitro, respectively. Otherwise, the assessment of magnetic characteristics by vibrational sample magnetometry (VSM) disclosed superparamagnetic behavior. The tunable superparamagnetic behavior depends on the amount of magnetic particles incorporated within the networks. The biological study results of as-synthesized polymers from the platelet adhesion test and the cell proliferation inhibition test indicated they were biocompatible in vitro. FeO incorporation was conductive to reducing platelet adhesion in blood contacting test and promotion of rat vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and growth. These nondegradable, superparamagnetic, biocompatible polymers, combined with their good shape memory properties may allow for their future exploitation in the biomedical field, such as, in cardiovascular implants, targeted tumor treatment, tissue engineering and artificial organ's engineering.

Alumina/polymer composites are conventional thermal interface materials widely used for heat dissipation. However, the interfacial thermal resistance (ITR) dominates the thermal conductivity (TC) of these composites, presenting a critical challenge. This study introduces erythritol as an innovative thermal bridge to effectively reduce the ITR by selectively locating it at the interfaces among alumina (AlO) particles.

3D printing efficiency, as a key indicator of additive manufacturing technology, directly affects its competitiveness in rapid prototyping, small batch production, and even large-scale industrial applications. Compared with traditional manufacturing methods, the high efficiency of 3D printing is often considered a bottleneck, hindering its application across various fields. Herein, a versatile and efficient strategy is proposed, namely, the dimensional reduction printing (DRP) process, to break the obstacle of high efficiency of 3D printing.

Practical Zn metal batteries have been hindered by several challenges, including Zn dendrite growth, undesirable side reactions, and unstable electrode/electrolyte interface. These issues are particularly more serious in low-concentration electrolytes. Herein, we design a Zn salt-mediated electrolyte with in situ ring-opening polymerization of the small molecule organic solvent.

Fluorescent nanosensors operating have shown recent success toward informing basic plant biology and agricultural applications. We developed near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent nanosensors using the Corona Phase Molecular Recognition (CoPhMoRe) technique that distinguish Fe(II) and Fe(III) species with limit of detection as low as 10 nM. An anionic poly(p-phenyleneethynylene) (PPE) polyelectrolyte wrapped single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) shows up to 200% turn-on and 85% turn-off responses to Fe(II) and Fe(III), respectively, allowing spatial and temporal analysis of iron uptake in both foliar and root-to-shoot pathways.

There has been limited exploration of carbon nanofiber as a scaffold for cellular attachment and proliferation. In this work, commercially available, pyrolytically stripped carbon nanofiber (cCNF) is deposited over electrospun nanofiber mats, polycaprolactone (PCL) and poly(D-lactide) (PDLA), to immobilize them and investigate whether the 3D cCNF layer's surface augments cell proliferation of human dermal fibroblasts (nHDF). Spectral characterizations, such as XRD and Raman, show that cCNF exhibited crystalline structure with a high graphitization degree.
