The ability of dynamic polymer networks (DPNs) to self-repair and reconfigure at interfaces is a defining feature of vitrimer-based materials. In this study, the interfacial healing behavior between amine-terminated polystyrene…
Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) extends far beyond simple 1:1 binding studies, offering powerful insights into complex biological interactions that govern cellular function and disease mechanisms. Its ability to provide a…
Racemases and epimerases operating through a 1,1-proton transfer mechanism represent a unique class of enzymes with profound implications in metabolism, disease, and biotechnology. Their ability to interconvert enantiomers at chiral…
The exceptional biocidal performance of the Ag/g-C3N4 composite photocatalyst against Escherichia coli 1337-H is underpinned by a synergistic mechanism rooted in interfacial charge dynamics, as revealed by comprehensive metabolomic profiling.…
Thermoresponsive polymers that exhibit both lower critical solution temperature (LCST) and upper critical solution temperature (UCST) behavior—collectively known as “schizophrenic” polymers—represent a cutting-edge class of smart materials with unique phase-transition…
Marine biofouling continues to impose significant economic and environmental burdens on maritime operations, driving the need for advanced antifouling technologies that combine durability, sustainability, and multifunctionality. Traditional coatings often rely…
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has gained increasing attention as a minimally invasive approach for cancer treatment, leveraging light-activated photosensitizers (PSs) to generate cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, clinical translation remains…
Cross-linked supercrystalline nanocomposites exhibit remarkable mechanical stability due to the formation of a covalently bonded organic interphase that reinforces the nanoparticle network. This study elucidates the structural evolution and failure…
