Journal ArticleDOI
Light-activated healing of metallosupramolecular polymers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Water-insoluble aerogels made from cellulose nanocrystals and poly(vinyl alcohol)
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report that the brittleness and/or water dispersibility of CNC aerogels can limit the usefulness of these materials, and they propose a solution to this problem.
Journal ArticleDOI
Asymmetric water transport in dense leaf cuticles and cuticle-inspired compositionally graded membranes.
Aristotelis Kamtsikakis,Johanna Baales,Viktoria Zeisler-Diehl,Dimitri Vanhecke,Justin Orazio Zoppe,Lukas Schreiber,Christoph Weder +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the asymmetric architecture of the cuticle creates a polarity gradient to ensure directional movement of water through olive and ivy leaf cuticles and construct bioinspired artificial membranes that mimic cuticle behaviour.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechano- and Photoresponsive Behavior of a Bis(cyanostyryl)benzene Fluorophore.
Ryohei Kaneko,Yoshimitsu Sagara,Yoshimitsu Sagara,Shouhei Katao,Nobuyuki Tamaoki,Christoph Weder,Hideyuki Nakano +6 more
TL;DR: Interestingly, rubbed films of CSB-5 prepared on glass substrates exhibited a pronounced emission color change from orange to green when exposed to UV light, the result of a photochemical reaction that occurs in the amorphous state and which causes a decrease of the excimer emission sites so that the emission color changes from excimer to monomer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparing Percolation and Alignment of Cellulose Nanocrystals for the Reinforcement of Polyurethane Nanocomposites.
Alexandre Redondo,Nicole Mortensen,Kenza Djeghdi,Daseul Jang,Roberto Diego Ortuso,Christoph Weder,LaShanda T. J. Korley,Ullrich Steiner,Ilja Gunkel +8 more
TL;DR: In this article , the authors compare the efficacy of these reinforcement mechanisms in thermoplastic polyurethane (PU) elastomer nanocomposites containing thermally stable cotton CNCs.
