A Bioinspired Polymer-Based Composite Displaying Both Strong Adhesion and Anisotropic Thermal Conductivity

Heng Zhang et al.

Summary: Inspired by snail and mussel adhesion, a copolymer poly(dopamine methacrylate-co-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (P(DMA-HEMA)) with high surface adhesion and thermal conductivity was designed and synthesized. The catechol groups in P(DMA-HEMA) formed strong bonding with carbon nanotubes through pi-pi interactions, resulting in the composite showing superior thermal properties and the ability to form high-strength connections between metals.

Solvent Effects in Supramolecular Chemistry: Linear Free Energy Relationships for Common Intermolecular Interactions

Frank Wuerthner

Summary: The choice of solvent is crucial for studies in supramolecular chemistry. Linear free energy relationships (LFERs) are useful for understanding the effects of solvents on different intermolecular interactions. This approach helps to better understand the dominant intermolecular forces in supramolecular interactions and allows for the selection of appropriate solvents for experiments.

Development of polysaccharide-casein gel-like structures resistant to in vitro gastric digestion

Cynthia Fontes-Candia et al.

Summary: Controlling protein digestion with polysaccharide-casein gel-like structures can delay casein hydrolysis. Factors such as polysaccharide type, polysaccharide:casein ratio, and physical state of the structures influence the protection ability. Hydrogels exhibit stronger protection than aerogels, and a higher polysaccharide:protein ratio leads to stronger gel networks and better protection.
