A dimethylglyoxime–urethane-based self-healing polyurethane elastomer with a distinct two-phase morphology combining high extensibility (>500%), a high Young’s modulus (40 MPa), and a high healing efficiency based on dual dynamic bonds at room temperature was obtained. Such a polymer was used for fabrication by blade casting and/or self-healing bil...
Archived patient-derived tissue specimens play a central role in understanding disease and developing therapies. To address specificity and sensitivity shortcomings of existing single-cell resolution proteoform analysis tools, we introduce a hybrid microfluidic platform (DropBlot) designed for proteoform analyses in chemically fixed single cells. D...
水中の有毒金属イオンを選択的・大量に捉える高分子材料を新開発 --日独連携での水環境浄化システムの開発-- .京都大学プレスリリース. 2024-07-31. / Access to clean water, hygiene, and sanitation is becoming an increasingly pressing global demand, particularly owing to rapid population growth and urbanization. Phytoremediation utilizes a highly conserved phytochelatin in plants, which captures hazardous heavy meta...
Microencapsulation is an advanced methodology for the protection, preservation, and/or delivery of active materials in a wide range of industrial sectors, such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, fragrances, paints, coatings, detergents, food products, and agrochemicals. Polymeric materials have been extensively used as microcapsule shells to provide ap...
The controlled surface modification of composites with thermoplastic matrices is essential for improving their adhesive bonding performance. Abrasive Waterjet (AWJ) texturing is a promising technique for reliable surface functionalization, as it can create optimal surface morphology without heating the material or inducing fibre delamination. This ...
Les virus entériques humains (VEH), responsables de la majorité des gastroentérites aiguës, sont rejetés engrande quantité dans l’environnement hydrique à travers les fèces. L’analyse des charges en VEH dans leseaux usées représente donc un réel enjeu de santé publique, aussi bien à l'entrée de station d’épuration(STEP) (1ère niveau d’alerte d'épis...

Recent advances in additive manufacturing (AM) of viscoelastic materials have paved the way toward the design of increasingly complex structures. In particular, emerging biomedical applications in acoustics involve structures with periodic micro-architectures, which require a precise knowledge of longitudinal and transverse bulk properties of the c...
The arrangement of crystalline domains in semicrystalline polymers is key to understanding how to optimize the nanostructured morphology for enabling better properties. For example, in polystyrene-b-poly(ethylene oxide) (PS-b-PEO), the degree of crystallinity and arrangement of the crystallites within the PEO phase plays a crucial role in determini...
MXene is a novel 2D nanomaterial with excellent mechanical properties, thermal and electrical conductivities, flame retardancy, electromagnetic interference shielding, etc. Owing to these inherent properties, MXene is extensively used as a reinforcing and functional material in elastomer nanocomposites while identifying its capabilities and potenti...
