Functionalized Graphene as Extracellular Matrix Mimics: Toward Well‐Defined 2D Nanomaterials for Multivalent Virus Interactions

Polysulfated nanomaterials that mimic the extracellular cell matrix are of great interest for their potential to modulate cellular responses and to bind and neutralize pathogens. However, control over the density of active functional groups on such biomimetics is essential for efficient interactions, and this remains a challenge. In this regard, producing polysulfated graphene derivatives with control over their functionality is an intriguing accomplishment in order to obtain highly effective 2D platforms for pathogen interactions. Here, a facile and efficient method for the controlled attachment of a heparin sulfate mimic on the surface of graphene is reported. Dichlorotriazine groups are conjugated to the surface of graphene by a one‐pot [2+1] nitrene cycloaddition reaction at ambient conditions, providing derivatives with defined functionality. Consecutive step by step conjugation of hyperbranched polyglycerol to the dichlorotriazine groups and eventual conversion to the polyglycerol sulfate result in the graphene based heparin biomimetics. Scanning force microscopy, cryo‐transmission electron microscopy, and in vitro bioassays reveal strong interactions between the functionalized graphene (thoroughly covered by a sulfated polymer) and vesicular stomatitis virus. Infection experiments with highly sulfated versions of graphene drastically promote the infection process, leading to higher viral titers compared to nonsulfated analogues.     

A Soft,Fast and Versatile Electrohydraulic Gripper with Capacitive Object Size Detection

Soft robotic grippers achieve increased versatility and reduced complexity through intelligence embodied in their flexible and conformal structures. The most widely used soft grippers are pneumatically driven; they are simple and effective but require bulky air compressors that limit their application space and external sensors or computationally expensive vision systems for pick verification. In this study, a multi-material architecture for self-sensing electrohydraulic bending actuators is presented that enables a new class of highly versatile and reconfigurable soft grippers that are electrically driven and feature capacitive pick verification and object size detection. These electrohydraulic grippers are fast (step input results in finger closure in 50 ms), draw low power (6.5 mW per finger to hold grasp), and can pick a wide variety of objects with simple binary electrical control. Integrated high-voltage driving electronics are presented that greatly increase the application space of the grippers and make them readily compatible with commercially available robotic arms.     

Covalent Adaptable Microstructures via Combining Two-Photon Laser Printing and Alkoxyamine Chemistry: Toward Living 3D Microstructures

Manufacturing programmable materials, whose mechanical properties can be adapted on demand, is highly desired for their application in areas ranging from robotics, to biomedicine, or microfluidics. Herein, the inclusion of dynamic and living bonds, such as alkoxyamines, in a printable formulation suitable for two-photon 3D laser printing is exploited. On one hand, taking advantage of the dynamic covalent character of alkoxyamines, the nitroxide exchange reaction is investigated. As a consequence, a reduction of the Young´s Modulus by 50%, is measured by nanoindentation. On the other hand, due to its “living” characteristic, the chain extension becomes possible via nitroxide mediated polymerization. In particular, living nitroxide mediated polymerization of styrene results not only in a dramatic increase of the volume (≈8 times) of the 3D printed microstructure but also an increase of the Young's Modulus by two orders of magnitude (from 14 MPa to 2.7 GPa), while maintaining the shape including fine structural details. Thus, the approach introduces a new dimension by enabling to create microstructures with dynamically tunable size and mechanical properties.     

Enhancing Planar Inverted Perovskite Solar Cells with Innovative Dumbbell-Shaped HTMs: A Study of Hexabenzocoronene and Pyrene-BODIPY-Triarylamine Derivatives

Dumbbell-shaped systems based on PAHs-BODIPY-triarylamine hybrids TM-(01-04) are designed as novel and highly efficient hole-transporting materials for usage in planar inverted perovskite solar cells. BODIPY is employed as a bridge between the PAH units, and the effects of the conjugated π-system's covalent attachment and size are investigated. Fluorescence quenching, 3D fluorescence heat maps, and theoretical studies support energy transfer within the moieties. The systems are extremely resistant to UVC 254 nm germicidal light sources and present remarkable thermal stability at degradation temperatures exceeding 350 °C. Integrating these systems into perovskite solar cells results in outstanding power conversion efficiency (PCE), with TM-02-based devices exhibiting a PCE of 20.26%. The devices base on TM-01, TM-03, and TM-04 achieve PCE values of 16.98%, 17.58%, and 18.80%, respectively. The long-term stability of these devices is measured for 600 h, with initial efficiency retention between 94% and 86%. The TM-04-based device presents noticeable stability of 94%, better than the reference polymer PTAA with 91%. These findings highlight the exciting potential of dumbbell-shaped systems based on PAHs-BODIPY-triarylamine derivatives for next-generation photovoltaics.     

A Coating that Combines Lotus‐Effect and Contact‐Active Antimicrobial Properties on Silicone

The antimicrobial equipment of materials is of great importance in medicine but also in daily life. A challenge is the antimicrobial modification of hydrophobic surfaces without increasing their low surface energy. This is particularly important for silicone‐based materials. Because most antimicrobial surface modifications render the materials more hydrophilic, methods are needed to achieve antimicrobial activity without changing the high water‐contact‐angle. This is achieved in the present work, where SiO₂ nanoparticles are prepared and functionalized with 3‐(trimethoxysilyl)‐propyldimethyloctadecyl ammonium chloride (QAS) in a one‐pot synthesis. The modified nanoparticles are applied onto a silicone surface from suspension with no need of elaborate pretreatment. The resulting surface exhibits a Lotus‐Effect combined with contact‐active antimicrobial properties. The particle surfaces show self‐organizing micro‐ and nanostructures that afford a water‐contact angle of 144° and a hysteresis below 10°. The particles are self‐adhering on the silicone after solvent evaporation and resistant against immersion into and washing with water for at least 5 d. Thereby, the adhesion of the bacterial strain Staphylococcus aureus to these surfaces is reduced and the remaining bacterial cells are killed within 16 h. This is the first example of a Lotus‐Effect surface with intrinsic contact‐active antimicrobial properties.     

Photovoltaic Devices: Highly Conductive PEDOT:PSS Electrode with Optimized Solvent and Thermal Post‐Treatment for ITO‐Free Organic Solar Cells (Adv. Funct. Mater. 6/2011)

Highly conductive poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) films as stand‐alone electrodes for organic solar cells have been optimized using a solvent post‐treatment method. The treated PEDOT:PSS films show enhanced conductivities up to 1418 S cm^?1, accompanied by structural and chemical changes. The effect of the solvent treatment on PEDOT:PSS has been investigated in detail and is shown to cause a reduction of insulating PSS in the conductive polymer layer. Using these optimized electrodes, ITO‐free, small molecule organic solar cells with a zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc):fullerene C₆₀ bulk heterojunction have been produced on glass and PET substrates. The system was further improved by pre‐heating the PEDOT:PSS electrodes, which enhanced the power conversion efficiency to the values obtained for solar cells on ITO electrodes. The results show that optimized PEDOT:PSS with solvent and thermal post‐treatment can be a very promising electrode material for highly efficient flexible ITO‐free organic solar cells.

Motion control of a tendon-based parallel manipulator using optimal tension distribution

This paper presents the motion control of a six degree-of-freedom tendon-based parallel manipulator, which moves a platform with high speed using seven cables. To control the motion of the platform along desired trajectories in space, nonlinear feedforward control laws in the cable length coordinates are used. Taking account of the effect of redundancy on actuation, the optimal tension distribution should be considered to the advantage of the control laws. Using a method based on the analysis of the workspace condition, tension constraints and limiting torque constraints of actuators, an analytical solution for optimum tension distribution was found and used to compute the force in each cable for compensation of dynamic errors. It is experimentally demonstrated that the proposed control laws reduce the energy consumption of the actuators and satisfy the path tracking accuracy.     

Quantification of character-impact odour compounds of roasted beef

Beef was roasted for 7 min in frying pans made of glass (A) or of stainless steel (B). The lower temperature in A yielded a more roasty-sweet flavour and the higher temperature in B a roasty-harsh, more caramellike flavour. Using stable isotope dilution assays the concentration levels of the odour compounds 4-hydroxy-2,5-dimethyl-3(2H)-furanone (I), 2-acetyl-2-thiazoline (II), 2-ethyl-3,5-dimethylpyrazine (III), 2,3-diethyl-5-methylpyrazine (IV), guaiacol (V) and methional (VI) were determined in samples A and B. The data obtained were divided by the corresponding odour thresholds which were evaluated nasally and retronasally. The results indicated that the flavour differences of A and B were preferentially caused by differences in the concentration levels of odorantsI, II, IV, andVI.

Quantitative Analyse charakteristischer Geruchsstoffe von gebratenem Rindfleisch

Zusammenfassung Rindfleisch wurde 7 min in Pfannen aus Glas (A) und rostfreiem Stahl (B) gebraten. Die niedrigere Temperatur in A führte zu einem stärker röstig-süßen Aroma und die höhere Temperatur in B zu einem röstig-herben, stärker caramelartigen Aroma. Die Konzentrationen der Geruchsstoffe 4-Hydroxy-2,5-dimethyl-3(2H)-furanon (I), 2-Acetyl-2-thiazolin (II), 2-Ethyl-3,5-dimethyl-pyrazin (III), 2,3-Diethyl-5-methylpyrazin (IV), Guajacol (V) und Methional (VI) wurden in den Proben A und B mit Hilfe von Isotopenverdünnungsanalysen bestimmt. Die erhaltenen Werte wurden dividiert durch die entsprechenden nasal und retronasal ermittelten Geruchsschwellen. Die Ergebnisse zeigten, daß die Aromaunterschiede von A und B in erster Linie auf Unterschiede in den Konzentrationen der GeruchsstoffeI,II, IV undVI beruhen.
