With the combination of surfactant and freeze-drying, we have developed two kinds of graphene spongy structures. On the one hand, using foams of soap bubbles as templates, three-dimensional porous graphene sponges with rich hierarchical pores have been synthesized. Pores of the material contain three levels of length scales, including millimeter, micrometer and nanometer. The structure can be tuned by changing the freezing media, adjusting the stirring rate or adding functional additives. On the other hand, by direct freeze-drying of a graphene oxide/surfactant suspension, a porous framework with directionally aligned pores is prepared. The surfactant gives a better dispersion of graphene oxide sheets, resulting in a high specific surface area. Both of the obtained materials exhibit excellent absorption capacity and good compression performance, providing a broad range of possible applications, such as absorbents, storage media, and carriers.

Peripheral nerve injury is the common cause that leads to disability. Large nerve defect and traumatic neuroma are two main bottleneck problems during repairing after peripheral nerve injury. So far, there is very limited research on neuroma inhibition with nerve conduit. Our group previously found that a PDLLA/PRGD/β-TCP composite conduit had beneficial effect on nerve regeneration, and no obvious neuroma formation was found in 00 experimental animals(Huang et al., 2013;Qiu et al., 2014). Neuroma formation is based on excessively sedimentary collagen proliferation. We hypothesized that PDLLA/PRGD/β-TCP composite had the effect on the neural scar formation-related cytokines such as NGF, IFN-γ, etc., gene expression and protein level of collagen. In in vitro test, PRGD/PDLLA/β-TCP membranes showed better cytocompatibility with Schwann cells. In vivo tests demonstrated that PRGD/PDLLA/β-TCP conduits effectively promoted axonal regeneration of 10 mm rat sciatic nerve defect, which was close to the success of autograft. After an observation period of 1, 3, 6 month, PRGD/PDLLA/β-TCP conduit-implanted showed no neuroma and significantly improving on the neurophysiological and neuropathological levels compared with the PDLLA conduit as control group. The microenvironment of the inner conduit, containing an appropriate concentration of calcium ion, growth factors and immunologic factors(Figure 1), played an important role in the inhibition of neuroma formation. The effect of the conduit on neural scar distributionand scar ratio, nerve function recovery, and structure of regenerated myelin sheath has been studied. The neural scar distribution is perineural scarring and the scar ratio is lower than the control of PDLLA group(Figure 2). The study revealed that PRGD/PDLLA/β-TCP conduits promoted nerve regeneration and inhibited neuroma formation. It will provide experimental basis for future studies in nerve conduits for inhibition of neuroma formation and promoting long-distan

The degradation of reactor pressure vessel steels under irradiation, which results from the hardening and embrittlement caused by a high number density of nanometer scale damage, is of increasingly crucial concern for safe nuclear power plant operation and possible reactor lifetime prolongation. In this paper, the radiation damage in model alloys with increasing chemical complexity (Fe, Fe-Cu, Fe-Cu-Si, Fe-Cu-Ni and Fe-Cu-Ni-Mn) has been studied by Positron Annihilation Doppler Broadening spectroscopy after 1.5 MeV Fe-ion implantation at room temperature or high temperature (290 oC). It is found that the room temperature irradiation generally leads to the formation of vacancy-type defects in the Fe matrix. The high temperature irradiation exhibits an additional annealing effect for the radiation damage. Besides the Cu-rich clusters observed by the positron probe, the results show formation of vacancy-Mn complexes for implantation at low temperatures.

Although the major isomers of M@C 82 (namely M@ C 2 v (9)‐C 82 , where M is a trivalent rare‐earth metal) have been intensively investigated, the lability of the minor isomers has meant that they have been little studied. Herein, the first isolation and crystallographic characterization of the minor Y@C 82 isomer, unambiguously assigned as Y@ C s (6)‐C 82 by cocrystallization with Ni(octaethylporphyrin), is reported. Unexpectedly, a regioselective dimerization is observed in the crystalline state of Y@ C s (6)‐C 82 . In sharp contrast, no dimerization occurs for the major isomer Y@ C 2 v (9)‐C 82 under the same conditions, indicating a cage‐symmetry‐induced dimerization process. Further experimental and theoretical results disclose that the regioselective dimer formation is a consequence of the localization of high spin density on a special cage‐carbon atom of Y@ C s (6)‐C 82 which is caused by the steady displacement of the Y atom inside the C s (6)‐C 82 cage.
