よし、たまにはゲルのことでも呟こう。このままだと、ただの酒飲みだと思われてしまう。
今回のMRSでの発表内容は、Fatigue-Resistant High-Strength Poly(Vinyl Alcohol) Gels。世の中に強いゲルは数多あれど、靭帯に耐えるようなゲルはまだまだ存在しません。なぜかというと、そもそもメチャクチャ要求特性が高いんですよ。

Today is a milestone of my group. We graduate our first PhD student Jiabin Liu with her thesis, titled "Topological Mechanics of Hydrogels". The core of her thesis is to explore network topology as a fundamental determinant for enabling extreme mechanical and transport properties

The core idea is introduce selective-permeable hydrogel as an interfacing material between sensing probe and body fluid, only allowing the passage of target biomarkers while rejecting the transport of non-target biomolecules, thereby enhancing sensing performance.

The defect-engineered polymer achieves an adiabatic temperature change of up to 8.14 °C at an elevated temperature above 65 °C. This working mechanism is due to competing effects of dangling-chain defects on strain-induced crystallization and temperature-induced crystallization.

Feel proud to share our recent work on defect-engineered elastocaloric polymers published in Advanced Science (advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley…), in collaboration with @RuobingB at NEU and Prof. Svetlana Boriskina @ MIT.

Reading again the essay by Walter Noll, The Role of the Professor.
He "lives" his subject and cannot easily switch it off, even while lying in bed awake or on vacation. He recreates the subject in his mind each time he lectures on it.

It's my great honor to host Prof. Bozhi Tian from U Chicago to give a seminar talk on Bioelectrical Interfaces for Translational Applications. We all enjoyed the talk and learned from the talk. Glad to see our students to have opportunities to interact with their role models.

In 1994, I went for my first sabbatical, at Max Planck Institute for Metals Research, in Stuttgart, Germany. My host, Manfred Rühle, let me alone. In the Institute Library, I discovered Gibbs’s paper on phases in a pure substance.
What a revelation!

Many thanks for highlighting this. We feel grateful a recent award from the ACS Petroleum Research Fund, seeking a new direction for harnessing mechanical deformation to engineer nanoparticle transport, potentially beneficial for enhanced oil recovery and drilling fluid design.

ME’s Shaoting Lin will use a new two-year grant from the ACS Petroleum Research Fund to explore fundamentals associated with particle transport that govern petroleum applications in oil refining, such as the release of catalyst agents and removal of petroleum contaminants.
ALT Two sets of images showcasing diffusion patterns at λ = 1.0 and λ = 4.0. Each set displays three petri dishes marked at different times: 0 minutes with a central dark spot, 30 minutes showing slight diffusion, and 60 minutes with notable spread of the spot, measured at 2 mm. The diffusion is more pronounced at λ = 4.0.

Our paper is online! 😀
We developed a tough hydrogel that achieves high modulus, high fatigue threshold, and low hysteresis — simultaneously!
