Abstract Replacing petroleum-derived wood adhesives with soy protein isolate (SPI) offers a sustainable alternative, yet the practical application of SPI is severely hindered by its intrinsic poor water resistance and mechanical fragility. To overcome these drawbacks, we develope...

DiastereoselectiveAddition of Racemic α-BorylOrganozinc Reagents to Aldimines
Abstract The addition of alkylzinc reagents to imines is a key route to amines, but suffers from poor selectivity when racemic secondary alkylzincs are employed. Herein, we report a transition-metal-free diastereoselective addition of racemic α-boryl organozincs to aldimines, aff...

Precise control of interfacial thermal resistance (ITR) is essential for thermal management in van der Waals (vdW) devices. Here, we report a counterintuitive temperature-dependent reversal of ITR in twisted PtX2 (X = S, Se, Te) interfaces. At near-commensurate small twist angles...

Cellulose Nanofibril-ReinforcedTriple PhysicallyCross-Linked Double-Network Hydrogels
Abstract The introduction of reversible physical cross-linking constitutes a viable strategy for fabricating hydrogels with excellent mechanical properties, efficient self-recovery, and shape-memory capability. In this study, tannic acid-functionalized cellulose nanofibrils (TA@C...
