AbstractThis paper discussed the influence of cold working and annealing process on R–phase SME in an equiatomic TiNi alloy by means of tensile test, phase transformation, temperature measurement, and shape recovery examination. The results show that the increase in cold deformation of TiNi alloy got the increase in both tensile strength and R–phasc transition (TR–Ms). As R–phase becomes stable, the SME will be improved and the decay of memory effect will also be controlled at fatique test. The increase in annealing temperature got the decrease in R–phase transition range. In that case the stability of R–phase and the SME of the alloy also become bad. When annealing at 600°C, the recrystallization occurs no R–phase is found. Surely the SME of alloy becomes bad.

The time course of the hydrolytic action of porcine pancreatic phospholipase A2 on sonicated dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine liposomes in the presence of variable NaCl concentrations has been studied at temperatures between 17 and 36 °C; at these temperatures liposomes are in the gel phase. At a NaCl concentration of 10 mM, the hydrolysis shows a small and constant lag period of 6–8 min at all temperatures within this range. As the temperature is raised into the liquid crystalline range, the latency phase lengthens monotonically so that at 36 °C it reaches 55 min. An increase in the NaCl concentration to 1 M makes the lag period longer at all temperatures studied, with the exception of the phase transition range (near 24 °C); within this temperature range, a small reduction in the lag time is observed. The increase in the length of the latency period at high salt concentrations may be due to screening of the negative surface charge generated by the nascent fatty acid which seems to be essential for the efficient interfacial binding of the enzyme. In the phase transition range of the lamellae, the unfavorable effect of high salt concentrations on the electrostatic binding of the enzyme appears to be overcome by another type of interaction. Recent findings raise the possibility that this interaction could be hydrophobic in nature.Key words: phospholipase A2, liposomes, hydrolysis, salt, latency phase.

AbstractSelf-propelling microparticles are often proposed as synthetic models for biological microswimmers, yet they lack the internally regulated adaptation of their biological counterparts. Conversely, adaptation can be encoded in larger-scale soft-robotic devices but remains elusive to transfer to the colloidal scale. Here, we create responsive microswimmers, powered by electro-hydrodynamic flows, which can adapt their motility via internal reconfiguration. Using sequential capillary assembly, we fabricate deterministic colloidal clusters comprising soft thermo-responsive microgels and light-absorbing particles. Light absorption induces preferential local heating and triggers the volume phase transition of the microgels, leading to an adaptation of the clusters’ motility, which is orthogonal to their propulsion scheme. We rationalize this response via the coupling between self-propulsion and variations of particle shape and dielectric properties upon heating. Harnessing such coupling allows for strategies to achieve local dynamical control with simple illumination patterns, revealing exciting opportunities for developing tactic active materials.
