Photo‐Degradable Polyester Networks and Multi‐Photon Printed Objects Based on Cyclic Ketene Acetals

ABSTRACT Radical ring‐opening polymerization (RROP) of cyclic ketene acetals (CKAs) constitutes a powerful avenue to biodegradable polyesters via radical polymerization. CKA‐based degradable polymers have been established mainly as linear polymers, while networks from CKA‐based R...

Laser‐Induced Local De‐Doping in Organic Semiconductors

ABSTRACT This study explores control of the doping level in organic semiconductor films using scanning continuous wave laser radiation. The feasibility of this one‐step non‐contact post‐deposition approach is explored for a benchmark material system comprising the high‐mobility p...

Solution-processed flexible neutron converter foils

Abstract The cost increase of helium-3 has sparked the development of alternative detection technologies, specifically the use of boron carbide converters is one of the pillars of next-generation neutron detectors. While producing high-quality films, sputter-coating is limited in...

Nanosecond Pulsed Microwave Plasma Torch for Continuous In‐Line H 2 O 2 Supply: A Path to Stable and Scalable Plasma‐Driven Biocatalysis

ABSTRACT Plasma‐driven H 2 O 2 generation offers a potential sustainable route for biotransformations, but its application is hindered by challenges such as insufficient H 2 O 2 production and enzyme degradation. This study establishes plasma‐driven biocatalysis using a nanosecon...

Multimodal morphological characterization of the femoro-tibial joint of the black vine weevil ( Otiorhynchus sulcatus )

Abstract As open systems, arthropod joints and mechanical articulations face common challenges such as contamination and loss of lubricant. Recent studies suggest that insects manage these objectives of such open joints using a combination of cuticular microstructures and lubrica...

Mechanical Programming of PEGDA‐ β ‐CD Polyrotaxane‐Based Hydrogels via Host–Guest Molecular Recognition

ABSTRACT Polyrotaxane‐based hydrogels with mechanically interlocked structures offer unique opportunities for designing biomaterials with tunable mechanical properties in tissue engineering. However, the polyrotaxane structure based on poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and β ‐cyclodext...
