Therefore, the directional and polydirectional transportation of droplets on the same sample is successfully realized, and the conversion between executing single and multiple tasks simultaneously can be realized only by upright and inverted samples. This work provided a new strategy for directional and polydirectional water manipulation, water collection, directional drainage, and microfluidic devices.Excellent stability of a catalytic center would facilitate the prolongation of the cycle of a chemical plating bath and the reduction of environmental pollution. In this study, silane (3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (KH550) and γ-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)propytrimethoxysilane (KH560)) was incorporated in AgNO3 solution to rationally prepare a Ag nanoparticle/polymer brush (Ag/PB) catalytic solution. The effects of the KH560 relative content on the Ag/PB structure and stability were studied. The epoxy group in the KH560 could react with an amino group in the KH550 through direct ring-opening reaction to form a secondary amino group and hydroxyl, which could coadsorb Ag nanoparticles by means of a chelating structure; hence, Ag/PB with superior Ag-adsorbed intensity was established on a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) surface. Ag particles on PB with 75% KH560 revealed the best stability of those measured, and the relative Ag surplus was 56.7% after stability testing. Peptide 17 The generated Ag/PB that served as catalytic centers to catalyze the electroless copper plating resulted in a facile technology for preparing Cu/PET composite material. This means that the technology has potential application in a green process for preparing metal/polymer composite materials.The synthesis of tricyclic 5,5-benzannulated spiroketal scaffolds was accomplished from 2'-hydroxyacetophenones and gem-dibromoalkenes involving a one-pot domino strategy. The hitherto unknown transformation afforded the tricyclic 5,5-benzannulated spiroketals as single diastereomers in high yields with a broad substrate scope.We herein describe a simple and metal-free domino methodology to synthesize 2-aminopyrroles from alkynyl vinyl hydrazides. The domino reaction involves a novel propargylic 3,4-diaza-Cope rearrangement and a tandem isomerization/5-exo-dig N-cyclization reaction. By using this approach, a number of 2-aminopyrroles with diverse substituents have been prepared.The origin of strain-induced ferromagnetism, which is robust regardless of the type and degree of strain in LaCoO3 (LCO) thin films, is enigmatic despite intensive research efforts over the past decade. Here, by combining scanning transmission electron microscopy with ab initio density functional theory plus U calculations, we report that the ferromagnetism does not emerge directly from the strain itself but rather from the creation of compressed structural units within ferroelastically formed twin-wall domains. The compressed structural units are magnetically active with the rocksalt-type high-spin/low-spin order. Our study highlights that the ferroelastic nature of ferromagnetic structural units is important for understanding the intriguing ferromagnetic properties in LCO thin films.The liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) of proteins and RNA molecules has emerged in recent years as an important physicochemical process to explain the organization of membrane-less organelles in living cells and cellular functions and even some fatal neurodegenerative diseases, such as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) due to the spontaneous condensation and growth of LLPS droplets. In general, the characterization of LLPS droplets has been performed by optical microscopy, where we need transparent substrates. By virtue of the liquid and wetting properties of LLPS droplets on a glass surface, there have been some technical protocols recommended to immobilize droplets on the surfaces. However, interactions between LLPS droplets and glass surfaces still remain unclear. Here, we investigated the surface diffusion o
