A combinatorial approach for development of materials for optical sensing of gases

We present a combinatorial approach for development of materials for use in optical gas sensors, with oxygen being used as an exemplary target gas. Combinatorial chemistry is shown to be a promising tool for speeding up the search for new sensor materials. The method is based on the use of various polymers, solvents, indicators, plasticizers, and other additives. Solutions of the respective materials are prepared in appropriate organic solvents, and a robotic station is programmed to mix the components. Spots of the sensing materials are deposited in the wells of glass substrates resembling microtiterplates. After drying off the solvent, the sensor spots are automatically analyzed in a test stand, where they are exposed to a carrier gas containing oxygen in various concentrations. Changes in the decay time of fluorescence of the indicator probes are measured and used (along with sensor response time) as a main criterion for sensor assessment. It is shown that the combinatorial approach can reduce the time and effort needed to establish libraries of sensor materials by a factor of at least 1000. We describe in detail the device for preparation of sensor libraries and for testing the respective materials. The potential of the system is demonstrated for the characterization of optical oxygen sensors.

Strategies for Enhancing Polyester-Based Materials for Bone Fixation Applications

Polyester-based materials are established options, regarding the manufacturing of bone fixation devices and devices in routine clinical use. This paper reviews the approaches researchers have taken to develop these materials to improve their mechanical and biological performances. Polymer blending, copolymerisation, and the use of particulates and fibre bioceramic materials to make composite materials and surface modifications have all been studied. Polymer blending, copolymerisation, and particulate composite approaches have been adopted commercially, with the primary focus on influencing the in vivo degradation rate. There are emerging opportunities in novel polymer blends and nanoscale particulate systems, to tune bulk properties, and, in terms of surface functionalisation, to optimise the initial interaction of devices with the implanted environment, offering the potential to improve the clinical performances of fracture fixation devices.

Virtual Materials Intelligence for Design and Discovery of Advanced Electrocatalysts

Similar to advancements gained from big data in genomics, security, internet of things, and e-commerce, the materials workflow could be made more efficient and prolific through advances in streamlining data sources, autonomous materials synthesis, rapid characterization, big data analytics, and self-learning algorithms. In electrochemical materials science, data sets are large, unstructured/heterogeneous, and difficult to process and analyze from a single data channel or platform. Computer-aided materials design together with advances in data mining, machine learning, and predictive analytics are expected to provide inexpensive and accelerated pathways towards tailor-made functionally optimized energy materials. Fundamental research in the field of electrochemical energy materials focuses primarily on complex interfacial phenomena and kinetic electrocatalytic processes. This perspective article critically assesses AI-driven modeling and computational approaches that are currently applied to those objects. An application-driven materials intelligence platform is introduced, and its functionalities are scrutinized considering the development of electrocatalyst materials for CO₂ conversion as a use case.     

Materials for Optical Data Storage

The outstanding feature of materials research in the eighties has been the convergence of basic research and practical application, leading to ever shorter cycles of innovation. This is especially true of materials which form the basis of key technologies. The mass storage units of the next generations of computers will be based on optical processes having a storage density which exceeds that of all hitherto known storage techniques that are practicable from the technical standpoint. In view of the fact that since 1982 read-only memories in the form of compact discs (CD-ROM) have become very successful in the field of audio electronics, research and development are now concentrated on materials for write-once (WORM) and erasable (EDRAW) storage systems. Suitable materials for optical data storage are substances in which data markings can be recorded and deleted respectively using semiconductor lasers. Materials development is centered on the synthesis of infrared-absorbing dyes for WORM memories and the production of rare earth/transition metal alloys for magneto-optical data recording. An introduction to CD-ROM technology will be followed by an overview of the state of development of the most important storage materials which are currently available commercially, and then the properties of these materials will be discussed with reference to selected examples.     

Colloidal crystals as templates for porous materials

Close-packed colloidal crystals are promising precursors for novel materials, but only after appropriate methods are developed to fix their structure.

This paper reviews the methods used in the formation of these materials and likely future trends in the field.
