Published: August 2019

Catechol adhesives are limited to two-part curing designs. For the first time, a one-pot catechol adhesive is demonstrated with multiple modes of external activation: self-curing, electrocuring, substrate, and two-part curing. Lap shear adhesion (50 kPa) and viscoelastic properties demonstrate that electrocuring is non-inferior to two-part curing methods.

Geopolymer Materials for Extrusion-Based 3D-Printing: A Review.

Polymers (Basel)

December 2023

Department of Architecture and Industrial Design, University of Campania, Luigi Vanvitelli, 81031 Aversa, Italy.

This paper examines how extrusion-based 3D-printing technology is evolving, utilising geopolymers (GPs) as sustainable inorganic aluminosilicate materials. Particularly, the current state of 3D-printing geopolymers is critically examined in this study from the perspectives of the production process, printability need, mix design, early-age material features, and sustainability, with an emphasis on the effects of various elements including the examination of the fresh and hardened properties of 3D-printed geopolymers, depending on the matrix composition, reinforcement type, curing process, and printing configuration. The differences and potential of two-part and one-part geopolymers are also analysed.

The Role of Self-Assembled Monolayers in the Surface Modification and Interfacial Contact of Copper Fillers in Electrically Conductive Adhesives.

ACS Appl Mater Interfaces

January 2024

Wolfson School of Mechanical, Electrical and Manufacturing Engineering, Loughborough University, Loughborough, Leicestershire LE11 3TU, U.K.

Printing of electrical circuits and interconnects using isotropic conductive adhesives (ICAs) is of great interest due to their low-temperature processing and compatibility with substrates for applications in sensors, healthcare, and flexible devices. As a lower cost alternative to silver (Ag), copper (Cu)-filled ICAs are desirable but limited by the formation of high-resistivity Cu surface oxides. To overcome this limitation, self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of octadecanethiol (ODT) have been demonstrated to reduce the oxidation of micrometer-scale Cu powder particles for use in ICAs.

This study aimed to effectively identify anti-inflammatory peptides in Jinhua ham, a dry-cured meat product made from the hind legs of pigs by curing and fermenting processes, and elucidate their anti-inflammatory mechanism. The investigation involved a combination of chromatographic purification, screening, and validation. The first peak of JHP (JHP-P1) was purified using two-part exchange chromatography, in which 3350 peptides were identified by nano-HPLC-MS/MS, among which QLEELKR and EAEERADIAESQVNKLR showed significant anti-inflammatory potential (prediction scores: 0.
