Nevertheless, poor thermal conductivity, supercooling, phase separation, corrosive nature of salt hydrate is of great concern. Distress related to properties of PCM is resolved using nano additives. Major research focus on the dispersion of nano additive with PCM depends on (a) technique of preparing a novel composite PCM; (b) improvement of their thermophysical characteristic; and (c) advanced application for human comfort without polluting the environment. This article presents a critical review of hybridization techniques of metal, carbon and polymer additives on salt hydrate PCMs. To facilitate researchers, the significant variation on thermophysical properties of salt hydrate with nano additives are vitally compared, analysed and critically reviewed.

The β-to-ω and ω-to-α phase transformations are central to β-titanium alloy design, but the transformation mechanisms have been a subject of debate. With new generations of aberration-corrected transmission electron microscopy and atom probe tomography, both the spatial resolution and compositional sensitivity of phase transformation analysis have been rapidly improving. This review provides a detailed assessment of the new understanding gained and related debates in this field enabled by advanced characterization methods. Specifically, new insights into the possibility of a coupled diffusional-displacive component in the β-to-ω transformation and key nucleation driving forces for the ω-assisted α phase formation are discussed. Additionally, the influence of ω phase on the mechanical properties of β-titanium alloys is also reviewed. Finally, a perspective on open questions and future direction for research is discussed.","PeriodicalId":14427,"journal":{"name":"International Materials Reviews","volume":"68 1","pages":"26 - 45"},"PeriodicalIF":16.1,"publicationDate":"2022-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48547106","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, most of the existing chemical processes used for surface wettability control are often energy-inefficient, pollute the environment, and rely on harsh processing conditions. Therefore, highly-selective, green, and low-cost alternative fabrication techniques are in urgent demand. Low-temperature plasma processing is one such promising approach that satisfies the above requirements. In this review, we present recent advances in plasma processing to control surface wettability for diverse emerging applications in the environment, energy, and biomedicine fields. The underlying mechanisms of the plasma surface engineering, key features of the fabrication processes, and water-surface interactions are discussed. This review aims to guide further development of the plasma processing to effectively control the surface wettability of various surfaces. This effort is poised to contribute to the development of advanced functional materials targeting a broad range of applications.","PeriodicalId":14427,"journal":{"name":"International Materials Reviews","volume":"68 1","pages":"82 - 119"},"PeriodicalIF":16.1,"publicationDate":"2022-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48433272","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Oral insulin mimics physiological glucose regulation with reduced hypoglycemia and coma risks. Nanoparticles are advocated as oral insulin carrier to overcome intestinal absorption barrier. Their insulin bioavailability and blood glucose lowering performances are hampered by inefficient mucus and mucosa transport of nanoparticles. This review discusses critical materials used in oral insulin nanoparticle design to address mucus and mucosa penetrating hurdles. It highlights intestinal receptor targeting, biomimetic virus mimicking, particulate surface charge switching, coat-core detachment, and combination approaches developed through material sciences. Mucus penetration favors particles with hydrophilic/amphiphilic surfaces with no net charges. Mucosa penetration shows a preponderance for hydrophobic or positively charged surfaces with intestinal receptor binding affinity. Materials with switchable physicochemical properties along with mucus-mucosa transit require research exploration, with consideration of their influences on endocytosis, lysosomal escape, exocytosis, and intestinal receptor upregulation.","PeriodicalId":14427,"journal":{"name":"International Materials Reviews","volume":"68 1","pages":"121 - 139"},"PeriodicalIF":16.1,"publicationDate":"2022-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45413493","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Functionally graded composite materials (FGCM) are a relatively new class of materials with a systematic variation of the composition, microstructure, and properties along one direction. The graded structure offers tailorable property combinations not achievable with monolithic composites and significant recent research has been carried out on their development. An effort has been made in this article to review the latest developments on bulk FGCMs since 2015. The different processing techniques used for their fabrication have been discussed, highlighting their advantages, limitations, and recent advancements pertaining to FGCM fabrication. Various physical, mechanical, and thermal properties of FGCMs have been treated separately, and wherever possible, summary plots combining data from various research articles have been developed. Finally, potential areas for directing future FGCM research have been identified.

Such approaches allow processing under physiological conditions and thus, they are of unprecedented biocompliance for device build-up compared to conventional methods based on chemical cross-linkers, volatile and organic solvents, and high temperatures. We review different set-ups based on GAG electrostatic complexation and showcase their application towards the development of diverse therapeutic systems. We also discuss challenges associated with GAG complexation into intricate three-dimensional networks holding back the widespread use of these methods. Finally, we anticipate that conscious choice of GAG with distinct polyanionic strength and specific bioactivity will make possible the fabrication of constructs with personalized and customized properties in the nearest future.","PeriodicalId":14427,"journal":{"name":"International Materials Reviews","volume":"67 1","pages":"765 - 795"},"PeriodicalIF":16.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41965512","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
