Summary: In order to advance the development of new generations of high-performance, miniaturized, and flexible electronic devices, it is important to research new-typed fluorescence-functionalized bi-aeolotropic conduction membrane. A topologically optimized design philosophy is proposed, which integrates macroscopic and microscopic partitions to manufacture a high-performance aeolotropic conduction membrane functionalized by fluorescence. The Janus-structured membrane with bi-aeolotropic conduction and red-green bicolor fluorescence is successfully assembled using bi-axis electro-spinning and demonstrates practical applications as a reliable microcircuit interconnection.

Summary: We studied the predatory-prey dynamics of self-propelled clusters of Janus micromotors, which generates an oxygen bubbles cloud by decomposing H2O2 and enhances its mobility to wander around and devour other clusters. The fast decomposition of H2O2 also induces a tubular low-concentration zone that bridges two far separated clusters, resulting in a diffusio-osmotic pressure that drives the clusters to meet. This predatory-prey phenomena mimic white blood cells chasing bacteria and swarming flocks in nature, shedding light on emergent collective intelligence in biology.

Summary: An investigation on the conductivity of individual carbon nanofibers (CNFs) and their networks reveals that the microscale CNF networks exhibit good electrical interconnections and a homogeneous current flow. The macroscopic conductivities are strongly correlated with the microscopic results. The presence of highly resistive surface fractions limits the conductivity of CNFs and their networks, and this limitation can be reduced by increasing the carbonization temperature. This study contributes to the understanding of the microstructual models of CNFs and their electrical properties, particularly electron percolation paths.

Summary: Catalytic Janus swimmers exhibit diffusiophoretic motion by generating gradients of concentrations and electric potential spontaneously. This study considers the experimentally relevant scenario of particles releasing both types of ions and derives a simple expression for particle velocity in the limit of a thin electrostatic diffuse layer. The approximate expression remains highly accurate even in the presence of large ion fluxes and surface potentials, and it offers explanations for several intriguing phenomena, such as the reversal of particle motion in response to variations in the salt concentration or the self-diffusiophoresis of uncharged particles.

This study characterizes the influence of macromolecular and solvent properties on PEO fibers produced using centrifugal force spinning (CFS).

Summary: Shear-induced microstructural changes are commonly observed in various materials. Superposition rheometry, particularly orthogonal superposition, is used to study these changes and avoid non-linear coupling between steady shear and small amplitude oscillatory deformation. This study demonstrates the potential to investigate shear-induced microstructural anisotropy by superimposing fast deformations orthogonally to steady shearing deformation. The changes are evaluated by measuring the damping function and shear-induced changes in orthogonal moduli.

Summary: Small-angle light scattering is used to study the microstructural changes of polydisperse colloidal suspensions under capillary flow. The effects of shape anisotropy are explored by suspending titanium dioxide bundles and kaolinite nanoclay stacks in a Newtonian fluid. The study reveals significant changes in particle orientation angle due to shear rate gradient, but no cross-sectional flow migration was observed. The experiment shows two stages of transition: initial particle alignment and subsequent orientational demixing. These findings provide insights into the flow-microstructure relationship of polydisperse colloidal suspensions for industrial processing optimization.

Summary: This study explores the use of in-situ product removal via supported liquid membranes (SLM) to improve the synthesis of chiral amines. A screening of 400 ionic liquids (ILs) using COSMO-RS led to the selection of 14 ILs, and their properties were compared experimentally and in simulations. Further liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) and membrane extraction (ME) tests identified [P6,6,6,14][N(Tf)2] as the most selective and stable IL for the process.

Summary: Despite extensive experimental data and numerous studies, the quantitative description of relaxation mechanisms in bidisperse blends is still debated. This study aims to discuss different approaches for determining the release time and compare them to experimental viscoelastic data. Based on a large set of data, it is found that the release time follows a power law close to 2.5, rather than the previously proposed 3. Finally, a new description of the release time is proposed and implemented in a tube-based model, providing a good starting point for extension to self-entangled binary blends.

Summary: The motion of self-propelling microswimmers is affected by liquid-liquid interfaces (LLI), which can enhance or reduce their mobility and also steer the direction of their propulsion. In this study, the adsorption and motion of bimetallic Janus sideways propelled rods were studied at the interface between an aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide and oil. It was found that the wetting properties of the rods result in a wide distribution of their velocities at the LLI, with a significant enhancement of motility compared to near a solid wall.

Summary: We investigate the interface properties between WSi2N4 and Mo2B, O-modified Mo2B, and OH-modified Mo2B nanosheets. We find that WSi2N4 and Mo2B form n-type Schottky contacts, while functionalizing Mo2B with O and OH leads to the formation of both n-type and p-type ohmic contacts with WSi2N4. Additionally, we demonstrate the emergence of quasi-ohmic contact with ultralow lateral Schottky barrier and zero vertical interfacial tunneling barriers in Mo2B(OH)2-contacted WSi2N4.

Summary: When rare-earth ions are embedded in a ferroelectric material, their photoluminescence can serve as an all-optical probe for temperature, electric field, and mechanical stimulus. However, the impact of ferroelectric phase transitions on photoluminescence is not well understood. In this study, we demonstrate changes in the photoluminescence of green emission bands during critical ferroelectric transitions in an Er-doped BaTiO3 material. We also find that the intensity ratio and wavelength position difference of sub-peaks provide information on the phase transitions.
