Self-repairable materials strive to emulate curable and resilient biological tissue; however,
their performance is currently insufficient for commercialization purposes because mending …

Cellulose nanoparticle (CNP) reinforced polyvinyl alcohol-borax (PB) hydrogels were
produced via a facile approach in an aqueous system. The effects of particle size, aspect …

We examine single step reactive electrospinning of poly (vinyl alcohol)(PVA) and a chemical
cross-linking agent, glutaraldehyde (GA), with hydrochloric acid (HCl) as a catalyst to …

Conservation of our cultural heritage is fundamental for conveying to future generations our
culture, traditions, and ways of thinking and behaving. Cleaning art, in particular …

Dynamics of poly (vinyl alcohol)(PVA) hydrogels having chemical and physical transient
cross-links simultaneously (dual cross-link PVA gels) were studied by microrheology based …

Asphalt is known to be a colloidal suspension in which asphaltenes are covered by a
stabilizing phase of polar resins and form complex micelles that are dispersed in the oily …

Thermally reversible thermosets are synthesized based on furan functionalized polyketones
crosslinked with (methylene‐di‐p‐phenylene) bis‐maleimide. The number of furan groups …

Rheological properties, gel network structures, and scaling laws for κ-carrageenan in
aqueous solution were studied by rheology and field emission scanning electron …

A rheo-optical device outfitted with a Peltier temperature control for rapid temperature
changes has been constructed that allows simultaneous measurement of the optical rotation …

Vitrimers are a new type of cross-linked material showing sustainable functions due to the
associative bond exchange nature. In this study, we explore one-shot transformation of …
