Hygroscopic salt-hydrogel composite sorbents have attracted increasing attention for
atmospheric water harvesting (AWH) applications but suffer from the salting-out effect. To …

Lung cancer is a complicated long-term disease, which is extremely difficult to cure. A
traditional single drug delivery system cannot achieve desired long-term controlled release …

The ability to trigger changes to material properties with external stimuli, so‐called “smart”
behavior, has enabled novel technologies for a wide range of healthcare applications …

To date, numerous inorganic nanocarriers have been explored for drug delivery systems
(DDSs). However, the clinical application of inorganic formulations has often been hindered …

Boronate affinity materials, as unique sorbents, have emerged as important media for the
selective separation and molecular recognition of cis-diol-containing compounds. With the …

Materials with stimuli-switchable properties are widespread in nature. Through biomimicry,
stimuli-responsive hydrogels have received increasing research in recent years. In …

Specific ion effects occur everywhere. They occur in bulk solutions and at interfaces
(air/water, oil/water, solid/water, macromolecule/water, etc.). They are even found in …

Specific ion effects in aqueous polymer solutions have been under active investigation over
the past few decades. The current state-of-the-art research is primarily focused on the …
