    Fabrication of a poly(dimethylsiloxane) microstructured surface imprinted from patterned silicon wafer with a self-cleaning property

    Microrod patterns were fabricated on PDMS sheets utilizing porous silicon wafers as templates. The prepared microrod PDMS surface showed high water and oil contact angles. To discuss the mechanism, theoretical...

    Photoelectric properties of C60-poly(ethylene glycol) and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) composite gel prepared via a low-temperature organic-solvent process

    C60 fullerene derivatives, which are formed by grafting polymer chains on a C60 fullerene, can improve the solubility of C60 in solvents. These derivatives are able to composite with various functional polymers t...

    Preparation of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-terminated carbon nanotubes and determining their aggregation properties in response to infrared light and heating

    In this work, we newly prepared the multi-walled carbon nanotube (MCNT)-grafted poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) on their termini. After grafting PNIPAM, MCNTs dispersed well into water. In addition, the synt...

    Trivalent metal-mediated gelation of novel supergiant sulfated polysaccharides extracted from Aphanothece stagnina

    Anionic polysaccharide (PS) was extracted from Aphanothece stagnina biomaterials where trivalent metal ions were remarkably condensed from environmental water. Structural analyses indicated that the PS was consid...

    Effect of Particles Alignment on Giant Reduction in Dynamic Modulus of Hydrogels Containing Needle-Shaped Magnetic Particles

    We investigated the giant reduction in the dynamic modulus of magnetic gels with aligned particles. The magnetic gel is consisting of a κ-carrageenan gel loaded with γ-Fe2O3 particles with an aspect ratio of ∼8. ...
