Summary: Hierarchically porous spherical particles were successfully prepared using high internal phase water-in-oil-in-water double emulsions through visible-light photopolymerization. The thiol-to-acrylate ratio was found to affect the microsphere diameter and degradation speed, with increased acrylate content leading to slower degradation. Functionalization with allylamine and adsorption capabilities of the microspheres were also demonstrated in the study.

Summary: Understanding multibody interactions between colloidal particles out of equilibrium can have a significant impact on dynamical processes like colloidal self-assembly. This study presents a framework using polymer-coated colloids and demonstrates that in-plane surface mobility and mechanical relaxation of polymers at colloidal contact interfaces enable an effective, dynamic interaction. Through theoretical analysis, simulations, and optical tweezer experiments, precise control of dynamic pair interactions over a range of pico-Newton forces and seconds timescales is achieved. This model offers potential for engineering colloids with precise control over the kinetics and thermodynamics of colloidal self-assembly dynamics through interface modulation and nonequilibrium processing.

Summary: In this study, we analytically predicted the concentration profile of a long polymer chain in a poor solvent, confined between two walls, where some monomers can form strong bonds with the walls. We observed nonmonotonic variations in concentration profiles due to boundary conditions that lead to a decrease in monomer concentration at the walls. This has implications for understanding chromatin organization in the nucleus of living cells.

Summary: The adsorption of polymers on the surface of mesoporous silica nanoparticles allows for versatile adhesion between hydrogels or biological tissues. However, when the number of nanoparticles deposited exceeds a critical threshold, thick multilayers form at the interface and decrease the adhesion strength. To overcome this limitation, spherical aggregates were prepared by spray drying, resulting in stronger cohesion between nanoparticles. The adhesion energy with these supraballs was significantly enhanced compared to nanoparticles, and corrugated interfaces stabilized by supraballs contributed to the largest adhesion enhancement.

Summary: The study introduces a mussel-inspired antifouling coating with adjustable surface charge, utilizing long-range electrostatic interactions for adaptive antifouling performance against varying electrical characteristics of emulsions. By modulating the surface electrical properties through solution pH, the coatings can switch between attraction and repulsion with emulsions, enhancing emulsion repellence. This approach enhances water permeability and reusability of PVDF membranes for efficient separation of both positively and negatively charged emulsions, providing insights into antifouling mechanisms and development of functional materials for engineering applications.

Summary: This work presents a novel ternary cement polymer composite coating (CPFNIC) with enhanced corrosion protection for steel rebars in a chloride environment. The new coating significantly delays the onset of corrosion due to the synergistic contributions from fly ash, nanoparticles, and inhibitor. Electrochemical studies show improved corrosion performance of CPFNIC compared to uncoated rebars, with higher corrosion potential, lower corrosion current density, higher polarization resistance, and lower corrosion rate. Visual inspection and weight loss measurements confirm the improved resistance of CPFNIC coated rebars in chloride environment.

Summary: Thin films of ferromagnet Fe2Ge were successfully grown via molecular beam epitaxy, and their magnetic and electrical properties were measured experimentally. The material showed strong spin polarization, as indicated by the observed high-temperature maximum in the longitudinal resistivity and the suppression of electron-magnon scattering at low temperatures. Measurements of the Hall resistivity revealed contributions from both the ordinary and anomalous Hall effects, providing information about the charge carrier concentration and mobility. Additionally, small negative magnetoresistance was observed in both longitudinal and transverse geometries. Fe2Ge holds promise as a spintronic material due to its compatibility with semiconductors.

Summary: A novel PVDF-SiO2-Silane-based superhydrophobic (SHP) coating was fabricated, which showed enhanced corrosion resistance and self-cleaning properties. The coating had micro-nano hierarchical structures and contained Si, O, F, and C. The SHP carbon steel samples exhibited water contact angles > 170 degrees and a sliding angle close to 0 degrees. The SHP property remained unaffected after immersion in water and demonstrated good chemical repellence to acidic and basic solutions. The SHP samples also showed excellent self-cleaning property. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy studies revealed that the charge transfer resistance of SHP samples was significantly higher compared to bare samples in aggressive chloride conditions.

Summary: A numerical scheme is proposed for a priori generation of optical patterns for magnetic nanoemulsion (MNE) based defect detection in ferromagnetic steel specimens. The scheme involves the physical characterization of MNEs, obtaining surface distributions of magnetic flux leakage (MFL) using finite element modeling, and converting MFL distributions to lambda max values to generate optical patterns. Simulated images show good agreement with experimental images, validating the efficacy of the proposed scheme for defect detection. The scheme can also benefit the selection of appropriate MNE-based sensors and enhance detection capabilities.

Summary: We demonstrate the fabrication of high quality surface alignment layers on glass using a 2-photon polymerisation technique and Direct Laser Writing method. By scanning the focal point of a femtosecond laser near the resin-glass interface, commercially available photosensitive resins are used to print thin alignment layers. These layers provide good planar anchoring with the easy axis of alignment along the scanning direction and have a weaker azimuthal anchoring strength compared to commercial rubbed polyimide alignment layer. The advantage of this new method is its flexibility in printing complex surface alignment patterns with layer thickness below 100 nm.

Summary: The corrosion inhibitory potency of two new pyrimidine-pyrazole derivatives, PPA and PPC, was evaluated for mild steel in 1 M HCl. The results showed enhanced inhibition activities with increased concentration, reaching maximal values of 91.15% and 92.39% for PPA and PPC, respectively. However, the mitigation potency decreased with increasing temperature. SEM and XPS analysis revealed that PPA and PPC adsorbed on the mild steel surface, forming a shielding layer that prevented the dissolution of the steel in the acidic solution.
