The trilayer composite was fabricated by combining functional layers of fumed SiO, thiol-ene, and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT-PSS). Optical, scratch-healing, non-wetting, and electrical stability was investigated at different instances of time after thermal and solar irradiance treatment. The trilayer composite was found to be optically stable and highly transparent for visible light after thermal and irradiance treatment for 25 h. Both treatment processes had a minor effect on the shape-memory assisted scratch-healing performance of the trilayer composite. Thermal treatment and solar irradiance did not affect the superhydrophobic properties (contact angle 170 ± 1°) of the trilayer composite. The sheet resistance increased from 90 ± 3 Ω/square (initial) to 109 ± 3 Ω/square (thermal) and 149 ± 3 Ω/square (irradiance) after 25 h of treatment, which was considered as not significant change.

To develop a scaffold suitable for simultaneous repair of both spinal cord injury (SCI) and sciatic nerve injury (SNI), we designed a multilayer composite membrane capable of unidirectional and sustained release of two factors: nerve growth factor (NGF) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). The membrane's morphology, mechanical properties, cytocompatibility, drug release kinetics, swelling, and degradation behavior were thoroughly characterized. Additionally, its ability to promote the differentiation of PC-12 cells was assessed.

Purpose: The vocal folds (VFs) are among the most mechanically active connective tissues, vibrating between 80 and 250 hz during speech. Overall VF function is determined by the composition and structure of their extracellular matrix (ECM). During tissue maturation, the VFs remodel from a monolayer of collagen fibers to a tri-layered structure, affecting tissue biomechanics.

ZrN and TiN thin coatings have been investigated for use on stainless steel for bipolar plates of proton exchange membrane water electrolyzers. Films were deposited by reactive magnetron sputtering using Ar and N from metallic Zr and Ti targets on different substrates to perform a deep characterization of their relevant properties. The effect of the deposition parameters, such as N/Ar ratio, working pressure, or supplied power, has been explored.

Metal alloy nanostructures represent a promising platform for next-generation nanophotonic devices, surpassing the limitations of pure metals by offering additional "buttons" for tailoring their optical properties by compositional variations. While alloyed nanoparticles hold great potential, their scalability and underexplored optical behavior still limit their application. Here, we establish a systematic approach to quantifying the unique optical behavior of the AgAuPd ternary system while providing a direct comparison with its pure constituent metals.
