We report Pb2+-mediated interlocked hexagonal self-assembly associated with the near-IR (660 nm) 'turn-on' detection of Pb2+ ions (LOD = 25 nM) in water using a perylene diimide derivative (PDI-HQ). The PDI-HQ-Pb2+ complex was further used to develop a fluorescent NIR ensemble for the detection of thiols.

Purpose: This study assessed the microgap width and adhesion of three bacterial species in four dental implants with different interlocks under four screwing torques.

Materials And Methods: Ten samples of four implant systems with various interlockings, including full-hexagonal (FHI), cylindrical-conical trilobe-index (TLI), Morse-taper with octagon terminal index (OI), and hexagonal interlock (slip-fit) (HI-SF), were used. The abutments were screwed to the fixtures under torques of 10, 20, 30, and 40 Ncm.

High-strength, strongly bonded and self-healing materials are of great interest for several applications; however, the experimental and design of all such properties in a single material is challenging. In the present work, inspired by cartilage tissue, polyacrylamide (PAM)-based tough and durable dimer (PAM-Ag and PAM-BNOH) and trimer (PAM-Ag-BNOH) nanocomposites were synthesized by encapsulating silver (Ag) and hydroxylated hexagonal boron nitride (BNOH). Strong interfacial interaction was achieved by introducing (computational modelling and DFT approaches) noncovalent bonds in the dimer and trimer nanohybrids.

This study investigates the effects of the graphene content and applied pressure on the electrical and thermal conductivities of graphite/polyaniline (GP) and graphite/graphene/polyaniline (GGP) composites produced direct mixing method. Based on the electrical and thermal conductivity results, 14 wt% graphene content was found to be the crucial threshold, beyond which extra graphene additions exhibited different behaviors in pressed and unpressed samples. While the electrical conductivity of the unpressed samples increased up to 14 wt% graphene addition, the thermal conductivity increased further after 14 wt% graphene addition.

Moiré superlattices formed by twisted stacking in van der Waals materials have emerged as a new platform for exploring the physics of strongly correlated materials and other emergent phenomena. However, there remains a lack of research on the mechanical properties of twisted-layer van der Waals materials, owing to a lack of suitable strategies for making three-dimensional bulk materials. Here we report the successful synthesis of a polycrystalline boron nitride bulk ceramic with high room-temperature deformability and strength.

Article Synopsis
  • A manganese-cobalt asbolane material was synthesized from birnessite using low-temperature cationic exchange with cobalt nitrate, enabling a high active mass loading for use in supercapacitors.
  • The material features a unique structure with MnO-type slabs and Co(OH) islands, confirmed through electronic transmission microscopy, showing two interlocking hexagonal sublattices.
  • Electrochemical tests demonstrated impressive capacitance of up to 180 F g, revealing effective charge storage mechanisms synergizing the properties of both components, along with promising long-term performance durability.
