Summary: A new chitin composite hydrogel was synthesized by a mild process at 25 degrees C within a short time. The adsorption capacity was enhanced by introducing sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and attapulgite into the hydrogel structure. Alkaline solution was used as a solvent to dissolve chitin and as a catalyst to accelerate the cross-linking reaction. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy confirmed successful cross-linking of chitin and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose.

Summary: In this study, in situ coupled mechanical/electrical/WAXS/SAXS investigations were carried out on EPDM-based composite materials filled with carbon black (CB) under uniaxial tensile stretching. The study reveals the correlation between the electrical conductivity and the microstructural state of the composite, providing insights into the mechanisms governing the structure/properties relationships with increasing deformation. The formation of nanovoids at large deformations leads to a significant decrease in conductivity. This study contributes to a better understanding of the conductivity/strain relationships of carbon black filled elastomers and has potential applications in developing smart rubber materials.

Summary: Crosslinking affects the mechanical behavior and tissue metabolism of collagen-based tissues. Aging and diabetes alter the crosslinking type and density, thus changing tissue properties. High-connectivity enzymatic crosslinking and advanced-glycation end-products result in uniform deformation under daily activity, while low-connectivity enzymatic crosslinking does not. High-connectivity model displays more sliding, while AGEs induce instability in structures near the binding sites.
