Abstract Properties of emulsions highly depend on the interdroplet interactions and, thus, engineering at molecular scale are essential to achieve desired emulsion systems. Here, attractive Pickering gels (APEGs) designed and prepared by bridging neighboring particle‐stabilized droplets via telechelic polymers. In APEGs, each molecule with two amino end groups can simultaneously bind carboxyl functionalized nanoparticles in droplets, forming a bridged network. The APEG systems show typical shear‐thinning behaviors their viscoelastic properties tunable temperature, pH, weight polymers, making them ideal for direct 3D printing. APEGs be photopolymerized prepare APEG‐templated porous materials microstructures tailored optimize performances, promising wide range applications.

Abstract Living organisms in nature have amazing control over their color, shape, and morphology response to environmental stimuli for camouflage, communication, or reproduction. Inspired by the camouflage of octopus via elongation contraction its pigment cells, oblate cholesteric liquid crystal droplets are dispersed a polymer matrix, serving as role cells showing structural color due selective Bragg reflection periodic helical structure. The 3D‐printed biomimetic systems can be tuned changing pitch chiral dopant concentration temperature. When heated up isotropic, opaque colored become transparent colorless. Meanwhile, isotropic tend spherical, causing volume along film plane dilation perpendicular direction. internal strain combined with gradient distribution result corresponding shape transformations. blossom flower, both which show synergetic responses, demonstrated inspire design functional materials intelligent devices.

Separators have an important influence on the safety and performance of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, traditional polyolefin-based separators suffer from poor thermal stability weak electrolyte wettability. Here, by using hydroxyapatite (HAP) cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) as raw materials, we fabricated a unique HAP/CNF hybrid separator. The exhibit excellent properties, with high (up to 250 °C) outstanding flame retardancy. also demonstrate Compared polypropylene (PP) separators, show smaller contact angle electrolytes, 17.2° for 45.5° PP. Meanwhile, illustrate smoothness 68.0 nm. In addition, assembled display better compared commercial PP separators. materials are green, fabrication processes free organic solvents. We envision that separator could be promising candidate next-generation high-safety high-performance LIBs.

Immunotherapy, exemplified by immune checkpoint blockade (ICB), has been extensively employed in antitumor treatments. Nevertheless, its efficacy addressing low-immunogenic tumors not yielded satisfactory results, primarily due to the depletion and inadequate infiltration of effector T cells within tumor microenvironment (TME). Here, we construct an injectable water-in-oil emulsion hydrogel load clinically used Celastrol (Gel@Cel), which addresses limitations Cel's hydrophobicity. Cel can both inhibit cell proliferation promote apoptosis, while simultaneously inducing immunogenic death, through activation AKT MAPK pathways. In a model refractory hepatocellular carcinoma with malignant ascites, intraperitoneal administration Gel@Cel significantly inhibits progression activates effects lipase-controlled release Cel, as compared free Cel. Intriguingly, induces dendritic cells, resulting cytotoxic TME ascites. Furthermore, increases expression programmed death protein ligand-1 (PD-L1) cells. Moreover, combining PD-1 antibody (αPD-1) further enhances effect amplifies activation. conclusion, exhibits promising therapeutic potential treatment tumors, especially when combined ICB therapy.

Various physical characterizations show that CoP PANSs have architecture, crystal structure, big surface area. Electrochemical measurements reveal first time outstanding electroactivity NO3–-ERR in neutral electrolyte. At applied potential of −0.5 V vs reversible hydrogen electrode, can achieve high Faraday efficiency (94.24 ± 2.8%) yield rate (19.28 0.53 mg h–1 mgcat–1) ammonia production, exceeds most reported values at various electrocatalysts NO3–-ERR.
