A series of polyurethanes based on the hard segment MDI and soft segment PTMG were synthesized. The molecular weight of the PTMG was 730, 1000, and 2000, and ethylene diamine was used as chain extender. The fabrication process was varied so as to achieve the maximum disorder (nonequilibrium state) and maximum order, fully annealed. It was demostrated that the "quenched" non-equilibrium state reduces the rate of activation of the intrinsic systems, factor XII pathway, when compared to the fully annealed state. Platelet attachment is primarily affected by phase separation.

CsCuI is considered a promising material for lead-free resistive switching (RS) memory devices due to its low operating voltage, high on/off ratio, and excellent thermal and environmental stability. However, conventional lead-free halide-based RS memory devices typically require solvent-based thin-film formation processes that involve toxic organic and acidic solvents, and the effects of process conditions on device performance are often not fully understood. This study investigates the effect of crystallinity on CsCuI-based RS memory devices fabricated thermal evaporation.

To fully harness the potential of smart textiles, it is cruical to develop energy harvesters which can function both as fabric and energy generator. In this work, we present a high performance low-cost piezoelectric nano-fabric using even-number Nylon ( Nylon-6). Nylon-6 was chosen for optimal mechanical properties such as mechanical strength and stiffness.
