Physicochemical properties of chitosan/graphene oxide composite films and their effects on storage stability of palm-oil based margarine by Foong, Han Lyn, Tan, Chin Ping, Mohd Zawawi, Ruzniza, Zainal Abedin, Nur Hanani

“…The margarine sample that was wrapped with the CS1.5 GO2.0 film sample showed lower (p < 0.05) PV and TBARS values in comparison to the samples wrapped with CS1.5 and low-density polyethylene (LDPE) films. …”

The anomalous Hall effect controlled by residual epitaxial strain in antiferromagnetic Weyl semimetal Mn3Sn thin films grown by molecular beam epitaxy by Jiahui Liu, Zhen Zhang, Maoxiang Fu, Xiaonan Zhao, Ronghuan Xie, Qiang Cao, Lihui Bai, Shishou Kang, Yanxue Chen, Shishen Yan, Liangmo Mei, Guolei Liu

“…We are able to grow strain-free Mn3Sn(10 1¯ 0) films or alternatively strained Mn3Sn(11 2¯ 0) films via a three-step process. The strain-free Mn3Sn film has large anomalous Hall conductivity up to 30 Ω-1cm−1 at room temperature, which is comparable to bulk Mn3Sn. …”

Polarity reversal of the charge carrier in tetragonal TiH_{x}(x=1.6−2.0) at low temperatures by Ryota Shimizu, Yuki Sasahara, Ikutaro Hamada, Hiroyuki Oguchi, Shohei Ogura, Tetsuroh Shirasawa, Miho Kitamura, Koji Horiba, Hiroshi Kumigashira, Shin-ichi Orimo, Katsuyuki Fukutani, Taro Hitosugi

“…We found that the Hall coefficient of TiH_{x} strongly depends on hydrogen content and unit-cell volume: Nearly stoichiometric TiH_{x}(x≈2.0) films with large unit-cell volumes showed positive Hall coefficients at 4 K, whereas TiH_{x} samples with x<∼1.7 and small unit-cell volumes showed negative Hall coefficients at 4 K. …”

A Facile and Cost-Effective Method to Prepare Biodegradable Poly(ester urethane)s with Ordered Aliphatic Hard-Segments for Promising Medical Application as Long-Term Implants by Jingjing Bi, Yifan Liu, Jiaxu Liu

“…The introduction of OHS could contribute to forming denser hydrogen-bonds, and consequently produce a compact network structure, resulting in great tensile capacity, low water absorption, and slow hydrolytic degradation rate by PEU films. PEU-2.0 films, which possessed the highest OHS content within PEUs, exhibited 40.6 MPa tensile strength together with 477% elongation at break, 4.3 wt % equilibrium water absorption and only 29.5% weight loss post-12 months’ degradation. …”
