Summary: Researchers have prepared anisometric DNA nanoparticles with precise size and shape control by folding DNA origami, labeled with a fluorescent dye and stabilized with silica, which are then dispersed in a lyotropic chromonic liquid crystal. Observations using total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy show that these luminescent nanoparticles are stable in the liquid crystal dispersion and accumulate at disclinations in the liquid crystal director field. The silica-stabilization of the nanoparticles prevents dye leakage into the liquid crystal host.

Summary: The use of magnetic nanoparticles in biomedical applications, such as magnetic resonance imaging, drug delivery, and magnetic hyperthermia, is a topic of great interest. Nickel-copper nanoparticles with the formula Ni(x)Cu(1-x) are particularly attractive due to their simple synthesis, high magnetization, biocompatibility, and therapeutic Curie temperature (T-C). Coating the nanoparticles with silica improves their stability, biocompatibility, and allows for further functionalization or drug incorporation. In this study, Ni(67.5)Cu(32.5) nanoparticles were prepared using the sol-gel method and characterized for their potential in magnetic hyperthermia.

Summary: Superhydrophobic coatings are becoming increasingly popular due to their low maintenance requirements, high durability, and wide range of potential applications. These coatings can provide resistance to fouling, icing, smear, and corrosion, as well as the ability to separate oil from water. Consequently, the development of superhydrophobic materials is a topic of significant interest among academics worldwide. In this paper, a spray-coating deposition technique is utilized to deposit silica nanoparticles on glass using a sol-gel as a base. The resulting coating significantly increased transmittance to 99% at 600 nm. Water contact angle (WCA) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis of the coated layer's grade index and induced porousness demonstrated superhydrophobic behavior with a water contact angle exceeding 158 degrees.

Summary: We present a simple method to fabricate silica capsules encapsulated with wax using hexadecyltrimethoxysilane-modified silica nanoparticles. These capsules are formed through O/W Pickering emulsion stabilized by the hydrophobic silica nanoparticles at the interface. Molecular dynamics simulations were conducted to analyze the surface-modified silica nanoparticles at the polar-nonpolar solvent interface. The encapsulation efficiency of different waxes as phase change materials was investigated, making these capsules a promising candidate for active micro-fillers in dental cements.

Summary: An extensive data set was used to advance the development of a model-informed design of controlled drug release. An improved drug-release model incorporating mechanistic modeling of hydrolytic polymer degradation was used and validated against in vitro experiments. The study demonstrates the potential for achieving a priori design of controlled drug release by combining parameter estimates from the literature with model fits to the data set. The results highlight the importance of careful selection of the polymer grade and the need for better understanding of phenomena like pore formation in designing drug release systems.

Summary: This study explores the use of lunar and Martian regoliths to create construction materials with tailored properties, finding that the compressive strength of binders varies depending on the simulant and curing conditions. Higher compressive strength is observed in lunar simulant binders after heating to 600 degrees C, while the opposite effect is seen in Martian simulant binders. The research offers a robust framework for comparing the performance of different simulants and reveals the effects of vacuum curing and exposure to extreme temperatures on the cured binders.

Summary: This work develops a thermodynamically consistent microscopic model for a suspension of aggregating particles under arbitrary, inertia-less deformation. The model takes into account the lognormal distribution of the aggregate size population, the aggregation and breakup processes, and the viscoelastic description of the elastic network of the particle aggregates. The model predictions are consistent with the observed rheological behavior of typical systems of aggregating particles. Additionally, an expression for the total entropy production is provided to evaluate the importance of dissipative phenomena in flow processes.

Summary: In this study, the macroscopic governing equations for heat and mass transfer in a general multicomponent system are derived using a systematic nonequilibrium thermodynamics framework. The relative component mass fluxes and heat flux are treated explicitly, allowing for the description of relaxation phenomena and the coupling of heat and mass transfer. The resulting models are Galilean invariant and always respect the second law of thermodynamics, consistent with traditional transport equations and the kinetic theory limit for dilute gases.

Summary: In this study, the aging behavior of a colloidal suspension model system is investigated. It is found that different quench depths result in different aging behaviors, with a monotonic increase in modulus over time for shallow quenches and a drop followed by a plateau for deeper quenches. This phenomenon may be attributed to the quenching into different thermodynamic states and the influence of adhesive glass dynamical arrest.

Summary: This paper derives the rheological equation of state for a viscoelastic liquid by using a suspension of elastic dumbbells or chain-like particle aggregates as a simple model. The equation incorporates the concept of an elastic strain component and can be seen as a nonlinear extension of the generalized Maxwell model. The liquid is characterized by a sequence of nested continua, each associated with an elasticity law. The directional dependence of the mobility of the structural elements leads to deviations from the Weissenberg liquid behavior.

Summary: In this study, the transient microstructure of inverse worm-like micelles undergoing large amplitude oscillatory shear (LAOS) was investigated using time-resolved dielectric spectroscopy. By controlling the Weissenburg number, the non-linear microstructure response of branched and unbranched worm-like micelles was compared, and distinct elastic effects near flow reversal were identified. The dielectric measurements were validated with small angle neutron scattering, and a sequence of physical processes was employed to separate the elastic and viscous contributions of stress. Branched and unbranched inverse worm-like micelles exhibited different microstructural differences during transient LAOS as probed by dielectric spectroscopy.

Summary: In this study, the influence of transition metal doping on the electronic and mechanical properties and electrochemical performance of 2HMoS2/NC was investigated using Cobalt (Co) as an example. Co doping was found to effectively improve the electronic conductivity and active site areas of 2H-MoS2/NC at different positions, optimizing the adsorption and diffusion capability of potassium ions. Furthermore, the study revealed the optimal roles of different types of nitrogen atoms in kinetic adsorption, diffusion, and interfacial stability of potassium ions. These findings provide guidance for the experimental design of high rate 2H-MoS2/NC electrode materials and the optimal design of other functional composite materials.

Multi-layer architectures comprising CNT-rich and CNT-free LTO electrode layers were manufactured using a layer-by-layer spray coating method to promote charge transfer kinetics of high mass loading electrodes. The best performing multi-layer was paired with a spray-coated LiFePO4 (LFP) positive electrode, resulting in attractive power performance that outperformed conventional LTO || LFP combinations.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between the morphology of PMMA monopolymers and PMMA-PHEMA copolymers with the expected nature of surfactant-free microemulsions (SFMEs) before polymerization. It is found that previously mesostructured, surfactant-free mixtures can produce porous polymers of different morphologies, while unstructured, oil-rich regions lead to solid, transparent polymers without nanostructured morphologies. Additionally, a surfactant-based reference system shows similar phase behavior and polymer morphologies as the comparable surfactant-free system, indicating the importance of the hydrotropic behavior of HEMA in this system.
