How J-chain ensures the assembly of immunoglobulin IgM pentamers by Giannone, Chiara, Mess, Xenia, He, Ruiming, Chelazzi, Maria R., Mayer, Annika, Bakunts, Anush, Nguyen, Tuan, Bushman, Yevheniia, Orsi, Andrea, Gansen, Benedikt, Degano, Massimo, Buchner, Johannes, Sitia, Roberto

“…The J-chain interacts with the hydrophobic β-sheets selectively exposed by nascent pentamers. Completion of an amyloid-like core triggers JC folding and drives disulfide rearrangements that covalently stabilize JC-containing pentamers. …”

Borocarbonitride, (BN)x(C)1-x, nanosheet-reinforced polymer nanocomposites for high mechanical performance by Sreedhara, M.B., Barua, Manaswee, Chaturvedi, Abhishek, Rao, C.N.R., Ramamurty, Upadrasta

“…Herein, we examine the reinforcing effect of nanosheets of borocarbonitide, (BN)x(C)1-x, which are analogues to graphene (x = 0) and boron nitride sheets (x = 1), whose surface functional groups vary with the composition, on the mechanical and thermal properties of poly(vinyl alcohol), PVA. …”

Molecular-level methylcellulose/mxene hybrids with greatly enhanced electrochemical actuation by Chen, Shaohua, Ciou, Jing-Hao, Yu, Fei, Chen, Jian, Lv, Jian, Lee, Pooi See

“…Based on direct strain measurements, in situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) and ex situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyses, the actuation enhancement can be ascribed to the enlarged layer distance allowing more water and ions to be intercalated/de-intercalated and MC-induced sliding of MXene sheets. The assembled soft actuator has a high Young's modulus of 1.93 GPa and can be operated in air, generating a peak-to-peak strain difference up to 0.541% under a triangular wave voltage of ±1 V and a blocking force of 4.7 times its own weight.…”

Selective removal of hydroxyl groups from graphene oxide by Chua, Chun Kiang, Pumera, Martin

“…Numerous methods starting from various reducing agents have been developed to obtain near-pristine graphene sheets. However, most of the reducing agents are not mechanistically supported by classical organic chemistry knowledge and of those that are supported, they are only theoretically capable of, at most, reducing oxygen-containing groups on graphene oxide to hydroxyl groups. …”

Lithium intercalation compound dramatically influences the electrochemical properties of exfoliated MoS2 by Ambrosi, Adriano, Sofer, Zdeněk, Pumera, Martin

“…MoS2 and other transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have recently gained a renewed interest due to the interesting electronic, catalytic, and mechanical properties which they possess when down-sized to single or few layer sheets. Exfoliation of the bulk multilayer structure can be achieved by a preliminary chemical Li intercalation followed by the exfoliation due to the reaction of Li with water. …”
