TL;DR: In this article, a fluid metamaterial consisting of gold nanorods coated with an organic molecular corona was demonstrated, whose anisotropy can be controlled by applied mechanical shear force.

TL;DR: In this paper, the intercalation kinetics of polystyrene as a function of molecular weight, polymer/surface interaction, chain ends and polymer architecture (i.e. random, block and star) are discussed.

TL;DR: The bitumen nanocomposites can be used in road surfacing products and roofing products as discussed by the authors, for example, for roofing and road surface materials, such as asphalt and bitumen.

TL;DR: A hierarchical catalyst composition comprising a continuous or particulate macroporous scaffold in which an enzyme is embedded in mesopores of the mesoporous aggregates of magnetic nanoparticles is also described in this article, where a hierarchical catalyst is used for depolymerizing lignin, remediation of water contaminated with aromatic substances, polymerizing monomers by a free radical mechanism, epoxidation of alkenes, halogenation of phenols, inhibiting growth and function of microorganisms in a solution, and carbon dioxide conversion to methanol.

TL;DR: The surface chemistry of metal-cluster carbonyl complexes encapsulated in the galleries (interlayers) of an alumina pillared montmorillonite (APM) has been investigated by infrared spectroscopy as discussed by the authors.
