Cover of the journal Materials Advances, featuring an illustration of an orange, sponge-like material being extruded from a cylindrical tube onto a small layered electronic device with blue and gold components. The device sits on a transparent platform against a textured, metallic background.
Image shows a computer screen with information about Y-UiO-66 (MOF structure shown in cyan; information in green). Background is black with binary code in green.
Top half of the image shows grey particles, with one particle missing 1/8th to show its layered structure; bottom half of the image shows layers of alternating molecular structures; background shows a strawberry mille-feuille.
Image showing adsorption of species (coloured molecules, as as well as orange spheres) on grey surface (bottom half); top half of the background is in blue tones.
Image shows a yellow sponge with water bubbles and molecules, on a backgroudnd of splashing water, illuminated by a ray of light; background - top half is red/black and bottom half is blue/black.
Image shows the process of synthesis of arecanut adsorbent film and subsequent lead adsorption process; two SEM images shown; background is in blue tones.
Image in pink/purple tones showing wavy lines at the bottom and spectroscopic tip (red) pointing onto a blue/green 2D material (graphene) for exfoliation.
Artistic image showing what appears to be rocky mountains. Left top corner shows information about element Al, including it's assemblies (some assemblies also scattered across the mountains). Bottom left corner is black and includes two equations.
Image shows a monitor displaying the word "COF" and a chemical structure. Five arrows pointing out of the monitor to five schematics labelled as: liquid separation & purification, photovoltaics and sensing, photocatalysis, therapeutic applications, and gas separation and storage.
Image shows pink and green spheres connected with beige sticks; also showing periodic table where Al, Si and C are highlighted. Black gridded background.
Image showing a drop of liquid in the top middle. Underneath (in the centre) are a circular droplet containing colourful molecules and an empty flattened droplet. Surrounded by other droplets of various sizes and colours.
Image shows citrus peel in the background with molecular structure in grey/white/red colours in the bottom right corner
Image shows light coming from the top and iluminating the structure of tyrosine-derived low-molecular-weight hydrogelator incorporating an azobenzene moiety; the hydrogeleator assessmbles into supramolecular hydrogel (shown as green/white discs) that can encapsulate vitamin B12 (red circles); The syringe and petri-dish depictions illustrate the thixotropic behaviour of the hydrogel. The vials show the gel’s light-responsive gel–sol–gel conversion. Molecular structures of the building blocks are displayed in the background.
Image shows a boat with two characters, one holding a round-bottom flask with green liquid and the other green paint tub while also painting the boat; the sail sheet shows eugenol/polysiloxane/graphene oxide structure which was used for the marine epoxy coating. Various fish shown, as well as a castle on a coastal mountain, with the Canadian flag.
promotional slide for open call for papers to themed collection on organic transistors and related devices guest edited by Tsuyoshi Michinobu, Prashant Sonar and Waner He
Outside Front cover of Materials Advances. Image shows a grey spiky particle with green dots on its surface; green dots/light in the background, which is otherwise dark/black.
Image on green/blue background showing black sample holder containing brown spheres, and grey spheres connected by white or grey links; white/blue ray coming from the right; confocal Raman spectrometer sample also present.
on a dark grey background, nanocomposites are shown alongside graphs showing Z-scan and thermal lensing models.
A multifunctional poly(methacrylic acid–acrylamide/chitosan–gelatin) hydrogel featuring a cross-linked polymer network encapsulates the antibiotic carbenicillin and displays intrinsic antibacterial activity.
Image shows bubbles of various sizes moving through blue-to-pink background; PLIMB (Plasma-induced modification of biomolecules)-based hydroxyl radical enabling footprinting of proteins also shown.
Image in blue tones showing synthesis of self-assembled monolayer (SAM); includes molecular structures and textured area. Image is intended to represent the correlation between molecular structure and device performance in carbazole-based phosphonic acid SAMs.
Image showing spin asymmetry in BaTiO3 (001); structure shown using pink, purple, orange, blue and green coloured spheres; orange-to-green background. Orbital occupancy for surfance and bulk atoms specified, electric polarization and surface magnetization outlined; on the right, diagram with free and occupied valence states.
Green phthalocyanine dye on a knitted textile, when exposed to light, produces singlet oxygen that destroys bacteria (purple rods) and viruses (red spiked spheres).
on a gradient blue background, a schematic representation of perovskite-type oxyhydride BaTiO3−xHx is shown as a ball and stick model
