The high thermopower of ionic thermoelectric (-TE) materials holds promise for miniaturized waste-heat recovery devices and thermal sensors. However, progress is hampered by laborious trial-and-error experimentations, which lack theoretical underpinning. Herein, by introducing the simplified molecular-input line-entry system, we have addressed the challenge posed by the inconsistency of -TE material types, and present a machine learning model that evaluates the Seebeck coefficient with an of 0.

The fibroblastic sleeve is a structure potentially enveloping any intravascular device. At ultrasound scan, it typically presents as a thin layer of variably echogenic material covering the catheter surface, which usually tends to remain into the vessel after the catheter removal. However, several case reports have documented its migration toward the heart or pulmonary artery after a central venous catheter removal.

Along with the development of technology and the increasing consumption of polymeric materials, which have become an integral part of man's everyday life, problems related to their disposal are arising. The presented research concentrates on the studies on the enzymatic degradation of selected epoxy-polyurethane materials filled with 2 or 5 wt.% of waste unmodified or chemically modified through mercerization wood flour.

Isocyanate-free polyurethane adhesives have attracted considerable attention as a promising environmentally friendly alternative. However, their progress has been hindered by insufficient bonding performance and weak solvent resistance, as well as the laborious synthesis processes involved. Herein, we successfully synthesized a high-performance lignin-based non-isocyanate adhesives (LNIPUs-G) through a one-pot strategy that combines the polycondensation of carbonate groups with polyether amines and aldehyde-amine chemistry.

Peripheral nerve injuries (PNI) represent the most common type of nervous system injuries, resulting in 5 million injuries per year. Current gold standard, autografts, still carry several limitations, including the inappropriate type, size, and function matches in grafted nerves, lack of autologous donor sites, neuroma formation, and secondary surgery incisions. Polymeric nerve conduits, also known as nerve guides, can help overcome the aforementioned issues that limit nerve recovery and regeneration by reducing tissue fibrosis, misdirection of regenerating axons, and the inability to maintain long- distance axonal growth.
