3D‐Printed Hydrogels from Recycled Cellulose for Biomedical Applications Open
Growing environmental awareness has led to a shift in focus toward green chemistry and the development of more sustainable materials. Cellulose is one of the most abundant renewable polymers, providing stability and flexibility in plant ce…
Investigating Dynamic Changes in 3D‐Printed Covalent Adaptable Polymer Networks Open
3D printing technologies have matured to produce complex structures, still they are often limited to static materials. Introducing alkoxyamine bonds into 3D printed structures offers unprecedented possibilities for post‐synthetic modificat…
Diapers to Thickeners and Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives: Recycling of Superabsorbers via UV Degradation Open
Superabsorbers based on crosslinked sodium polyacrylate polymers cannot be easily recycled, resulting in 2 million tons of superabsorbers being landfilled or burned every year. A fast and efficient strategy to recycle superabsorbers would …
Charge controlled interactions between DNA-modified silica nanoparticles and fluorosurfactants in microfluidic water-in-oil droplets Open
The self-assembly of DNA-modified silica nanoparticles in microfluidic droplets was investigated using a new fluorosurfactant. Such droplets can be used for cell encapsulation.
Straightforward synthesis of aliphatic polydithiocarbonates from commercially available starting materials Open
Herein, a novel 1,1′-carbonyldiimidazole ( CDI ) mediated polymerization methodology that complements ring-opening polymerization (ROP) and unlocks a greater synthetic window to less-recognized polydithiocarbonates is presented.
Acyclic Diene Metathesis (ADMET) Polymerization of 2,2,6,6‐Tetramethylpiperidine‐1‐sulfanyl (TEMPS) Dimers Open
Inside Cover: Marrying acyclic diene metathesis polymerization and BiTEMPS chemistry offers a simple method to prepare a tailor-made polymer with precise control over the primary structure. Pivotally, the macromolecule, decorated with sulf…
Acyclic Diene Metathesis (ADMET) Polymerization of 2,2,6,6‐Tetramethylpiperidine‐1‐sulfanyl (TEMPS) Dimers Open
The preparation of polymers containing sulfur–nitrogen bond derivatives, particularly 2,2,6,6‐tetramethylpiperidine‐1‐sulfanyl (TEMPS) dimers (i.e., BiTEMPS ), has been limited to free‐radical or conventional step‐growth polymerization as …

Elemental Sulfur Mediated Novel Multicomponent Redox Polycondensation for the Synthesis of Alternating Copolymers Based on 2,4‐Thiophene/Arene Repeating Units Open
A sulfur‐based self‐condensation method is investigated as an efficient tool for the synthesis of polythiophene derivatives. The reaction proceeds through multicomponent redox polycondensation between readily available diketone compounds a…
Investigation of the Porosity of Poly(sodium methacrylate) Hydrogels by <sup>1</sup>H‐NMR <i>T</i><sub>2</sub>‐Relaxation and Inverse Size‐Exclusion Chromatography Open
A series of poly(sodium methacrylate) hydrogels, also called superabsorbents, having a theoretical degree of neutralization of 100 mol%, and degree of crosslinking varying from 0.6 to 20 mol%, are synthesized via conventional free radical …
The unrevealed potential of elemental sulfur for the synthesis of high sulfur content bio-based aliphatic polyesters Open
We introduce a novel sulfur-containing polyester derivative based on a renewable monomer bearing secondary disulfide groups. Base-mediated sulfur exchange reaction of disulfide bonds using S8 delivers polyesters with tailored functional pr…
P290SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging using regadenoson in end-stage lung disease: clearing the air and giving an answer Open
Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in patients with chronic respiratory diseases.However, non-invasive diagnostic of CAD is limited, especially in patients with more advanced dise…
A kinetic study on the <i>para</i>-fluoro-thiol reaction in view of its use in materials design Open
A detailed kinetic study on the para-fluoro-thiol reaction (PFTR) using experimental analysis and kinetic Monte Carlo modeling is introduced, covering the difference in reactivity of a selected variety of structurally different thiols, uni…
Methacrylated gelatin/hyaluronan-based hydrogels for soft tissue engineering Open
In vitro–generated soft tissue could provide alternate therapies for soft tissue defects. The aim of this study was to evaluate methacrylated gelatin/hyaluronan as scaffolds for soft tissue engineering and their interaction with human adip…
Integration of Mature Adipocytes to Build-Up a Functional Three-Layered Full-Skin Equivalent Open
Large, deep full-thickness skin wounds from high-graded burns or trauma are not able to reepithelialize sufficiently, resulting in scar formation, mobility limitations, and cosmetic deformities. In this study, in vitro-constructed tissue r…
Blood-Vessel Mimicking Structures by Stereolithographic Fabrication of Small Porous Tubes Using Cytocompatible Polyacrylate Elastomers, Biofunctionalization and Endothelialization Open
Blood vessel reconstruction is still an elusive goal for the development of in vitro models as well as artificial vascular grafts. In this study, we used a novel photo-curable cytocompatible polyacrylate material (PA) for freeform generati…
