Summary: Surgical adhesives are beneficial for wound closure due to their reduced infection and pain risk compared to sutures and staples. This study developed a novel surgical adhesive inspired by elastin proteins and mussel adhesion. The adhesive material, consisting of elastin-like polypeptides (ELP) and mussel-inspired adhesive molecules (DOPA), demonstrated high adhesive strength, biocompatibility, and wet-setting adhesion. The incorporation of DOPA into the ELP significantly enhanced adhesive strength, and the use of iron(III) nitrate and tris(hydroxymethyl)phosphine (THP) cross-linkers further improved adhesion. The developed adhesive showed superior performance on porcine skin, surpassing commercial sealants in terms of adhesion and curing time.

Summary: Rising energy and raw material prices, dwindling resources, increased recycling, and the need for sustainable management have driven growth in the smart materials sector. The importance and diversity of bio-based adhesives for industrial applications have been steadily increasing. This study focuses on the production and characterization of insulation panels made of peat moss and two bio-based adhesives. The results show that the insulation effectiveness and mechanical stability of moss panels bound with tannin and animal glue are comparable to standard adhesives used in the composite industry.

Summary: The shape memory polymer (SMP) adhesive shows strong adhesion to various surfaces and the ability to adapt to different shapes and flexures, allowing for potential applications in common fabrics. The dual adaptation of an SMP adhesive, with a thin SMP layer and backing fabric, is proposed to optimize both shape and flexure adaptations for improved performance. Research in this field involves theoretical rationale, computational studies, and experimental demonstrations of the SMP adhesive's capabilities, particularly in dry and underwater conditions.

Summary: The micro-tensile bond strength (mu TBS) of CAD/CAM specimens cemented with different combinations of adhesives and resin-cements using Immediate Dentin Sealing (IDS) approaches were compared to Delay Dentin Sealing (DDS). Results showed that IDS2 generally had equal or higher mu TBS values compared to DDS, with some adhesives and resin-cements significantly increasing mu TBS values in IDS2. Samples with higher adhesion values had a higher percentage of fractures at the LC interface, suggesting stronger adhesion at the adhesive/dentin interface.

Summary: In this study, biomimetic universal adhesives inspired by aquatic diatoms are reported, which exhibit tunable performance and robust underwater adhesion to various substrates, including wet biological tissues. These versatile and robust wet-contact adhesives are pre-polymerized and spontaneously coacervated in water triggered by solvent exchange. The interaction between hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interaction allows for instant and strong adhesion, while slowly formed covalent bonds enhance cohesion and adhesion strength in hours. The spatial and timescale-dependent adhesion mechanism enables these adhesives to have strong and long-lasting stable underwater adhesion, making them suitable for fault-tolerant convenient surgical operations.

Summary: In this study, a heat-free glue-sealing strategy was proposed using chitosan quaternary ammonium salt (CQAS) as a bio-glue to seal x-carrageenan film (xCF) for food packaging. The results showed that increasing the concentration of CQAS can enhance the sealing strength, and the glue-sealed xCF bags can effectively protect the food.

Summary: Representative 'Blue speckled' and 'Brown speckled' wares from Qalhat and Bahla in Oman were analyzed using various techniques. The study revealed differences in composition, firing temperatures, and glaze types and compositions. It is suggested that the wares were locally produced, but the origin of the glazes used in the 'Blue speckled' wares remains uncertain.

Summary: A didactic review of vibrational spectroscopy procedures for studying mobile protonic species in solid hydrates, crystals and ceramics is proposed. Representative examples of materials are given, and the advantages of isotopic substitution and dilution measurements are discussed. The vibrational signatures of different proton species and the characterization of protonic species without or with weak vibrational signatures are presented. The presence of a strong incoherent inelastic neutron scattering background appears to be characteristic of proton conductors.

Summary: On-site pXRF analysis is conducted on French collections of decorated porcelains from the Qing Dynasty to identify enamel types, ions and coloring phases, as well as differentiate between Chinese/Asian raw materials and those imported by European missionaries. The study focuses on cobalt-associated elements, impurities in the silicate matrix, and the use of gold or copper nanoparticles. Comparisons are made with previous measurements on Qing imperial porcelains, Cantonese productions, and blue-and-white wares from different museums and collections.

Summary: Raman analysis is utilized to study the phases observed in the different colored enamels of French and Chinese objects from the 18th century. The effectiveness of a solid-state spectroscopic approach and a multivariate chemometric approach is compared. The incorporation of spectra from similar phases in the literature is crucial for obtaining quality results. The combination of visual observation and multivariate analysis reveals that different production techniques result in variations in the peaks associated with the main As-O stretching vibration. Arsenic-based opacifiers are detected in the enamelled artifacts, both in French and Chinese objects.

Summary: Raman and XRF analyses have shown that it is possible to identify specific phases and elements used in ceramics made with European recipes and ingredients. The study focused on ceramics produced in the Forbidden City during the Qing Dynasty and in Guangzhou, and found that they used the same raw materials. The study also observed some artifacts with anachronistic characteristics that suggest they were produced around 1850.

Summary: Six rare porcelains from the Qing Dynasty were analyzed using non-invasive Raman microspectrometry. The study found that European ingredients and/or recipes were used, indicating China's role as both an importer of European know-how and an exporter of enameled products with imported technologies during the 18th century. Different recipes or raw materials may be the signature of different workshops.

Summary: Ancient tombs were discovered near Vohemar village in Madagascar in the late 19th century, revealing a major necropolis active from the 13th to the 18th centuries, with artifacts like Chinese ceramic shards and glass trade beads. Analysis of carnelian and glass trade beads using a mobile Raman spectrometer showed that most beads originated from southern Asia and Europe, confirming the role of northern Madagascar in the maritime networks of the Western Indian Ocean during the 15th-16th centuries.
