The present paper introduces the development of dynamic stiffness method for analyzing small-scale sandwich functionally graded nanoplates resting on elastic foundation in thermal environments. The mathematical formulation is based on classical plate theory in conjunction with nonlocal elasticity theory. The governing equation is derived using Hamilton's principle. The dynamic stiffness matrix is obtained through the application of the Levy displacement approach and assembled to form the global stiffness matrix. The final matrix is solved for natural frequency of the plates using the Wittrick-Williams algorithm. The proposed methodology is validated against existing literature, demonstrating a strong agreement. Various parametric studies explore the effects of thermal environments, volume fraction index, sandwich configurations, elastic foundation characteristics, nonlocal parameter and boundary conditions. The results show the versatility of the proposed approach in addressing small scaled complex engineering structures. This research significantly contributes to the understanding and analysis of sandwich functionally graded nanoplates, providing valuable insights for applications in aerospace, structural systems, sensors, actuators, and energy harvesting devices.

Polymer nanoparticles with low curvature, especially two-dimensional (2D) soft materials, are rich in functions and outstanding properties and have received extensive attention. Crystallization-driven self-assembly (CDSA) of linear semicrystalline block copolymers is currently a common method of constructing 2D platelets of uniform size. Although accompanied by high controllability, this CDSA method usually and inevitably requires a longer aging time and lower assembly concentration, limiting the large-scale preparation of nanoaggregates.

An integrated magnetoimpedance (MI) biosensor microfluidic magnetic platform was proposed for the evaluation of the cardiac marker, cardiac troponin I (cTnI). This bioanalyte evaluation platform mainly comprised three external permanent magnets (PMs), one MI element, two peelable SiO film units and a microfluidic chip (MFC). The MI element was made of micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS)-based multilayered [Ti (6 nm)/FeNi (100 nm)]/Cu (400 nm)/[Ti (6 nm)/FeNi (100 nm)] thin films and designed as meander structures with closed magnetic flux.

In this investigation, the influence of a combination of poly(ethylene-oxide) (PEO) and salt (NaCl) as water-soluble porogens on the synthesis of sustainable porous poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) membranes is explored. Nine mixture compositions are examined. PCL sheets are fabricated through the cryomilling, hot pressing, and porogen leaching approach.

The enantioselective [3+2] annulation of readily accessible aldimines with alkynes via C-H activation is, in principle, a straightforward and atom-efficient route for synthesizing chiral 1-aminoindenes, which are important components in a wide array of natural products, bioactive molecules, and functional materials. However, such asymmetric transformation has remained undeveloped to date due to the lack of suitable chiral catalysts. Here, we report for the first time the enantioselective [3+2] annulation of aldimines with alkynes via C-H activation using chiral half-sandwich scandium catalysts.
