Abstract
Lignin is a class of organic aromatic polymers contributing to the rigidity and strength of plants and has been proposed as a modifier to improve asphalt performance on road pavement. However, contradicting experimental results on the lignin miscibility in asphalt were found from different studies, and lignin has been found to self-assemble in different solutions. Thus, investigating the interaction and microstructure of lignin in asphalt media in molecular detail is necessary. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations using both the LAMMPS program with the OPLS-aa force field and the NAMD program with the CHARMM force field have been conducted on pure lignin (including lignin monomer, dimer, and polymer with 17 and 31 units) and their mixtures with model asphalt molecules at different temperatures. Consistent results were observed from both programs and force fields in terms of density, hydrogen bonds, diffusion coefficient, radius of gyration, and radial distribution function. Glass transition was observed in the pure lignin systems based on density and diffusion coefficient calculations at different temperatures. Lignin can form intramolecular hydrogen bonds and intermolecular hydrogen bonds with other lignin and 1,7-dimethylnapthalene in the asphalt mixture, which has dependence on temperature and lignin chain length. Correlating the lignin size and chain length using the power-law relationship showed that lignin polymers in pure systems are in quasi-relaxed structures at different temperatures; lignin molecules stay in quasi-relaxed structures in asphalt mixtures at high temperatures but in collapsed structures at low temperatures. Implementing lignin monomer, dimer, and polymer into the model asphalt mixture can improve its density. Although lignin in different chain lengths aggregates in asphalt, lignin can modify the packing between different components in asphalt media at different temperatures. The work suggests that temperature can significantly influence the miscibility of lignin polymer in asphalt and that lignin can function as both a modifier and a resin in asphalt.

Abstract
Nature provides unique insights into design strategies evolved by living organisms to construct robust materials with a combination of mechanical properties that are challenging to replicate synthetically. Hereby, inspired by the impact-resistant dactyl club of the stomatopod, a mineralized biocomposite is rationally designed and produced in the complex shapes of dental implant crowns exhibiting high strength, stiffness, and fracture toughness. This material consists of an expanded helicoidal organization of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) mixed with genetically engineered proteins that regulate both binding to CNCs and in situ growth of reinforcing apatite crystals. Critically, the structural properties emerge from controlled self-assembly across multiple length scales regulated by rational engineering and phase separation of the protein components. This work replicates multiscale biomanufacturing of a model biological material and also offers an innovative platform to synthesize multifunctional biocomposites whose properties can be finely regulated by colloidal self-assembly and engineering of its constitutive protein building blocks.

Abstract
Actuators play an important role in the fields of intelligent robots and wearable electronics. Temperature has a great impact on the performances of many actuators. However, most of the traditional actuators only have an actuating function, failing to monitor and send real-time feedback of the temperature of the actuator. To solve the existing problem and break the single-function limit of traditional actuators, we propose a multi-functional light-driven actuator integrated with a temperature-sensing function, which is based on a carbon nanotube (CNT) and methylcellulose (MC) composite. When the CNT-MC film is assembled with biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) to form a bilayer structure, the CNT-MC/BOPP actuator can be driven by near-infrared (NIR) light. Its morphing is based on thermal expansion differences between two layers and shrinkage of MC induced by water loss. The maximal bending curvature is up to 1.03 cm-1. Meanwhile, the resistance of the actuator can change by about 10%, which realizes real-time temperature monitoring and feedback. Furthermore, we demonstrate two practical applications. First, the CNT-MC film can work as a temperature sensor, as its resistance changes with the temperature in real time. Second, we design an intelligent gripper, which can monitor the temperature during the entire working process. This multi-functional CNT-based device is expected to have a broad application prospect in artificial muscles, soft robotics and wearable electronics.

Abstract
For the first time to the knowledge of the authors, well-defined and stable lignin model surfaces have been utilized as substrates in polyelectrolyte adsorption studies. The adsorption of polyallylamine (PAH), poly(acrylic acid) (PAA), and polyelectrolyte complexes (PECs) was monitored using quartz crystal microgravimetry with dissipation (QCM-D). The PECs were prepared by mixing PAH and PAA at different ratios and sequences, creating both cationic and anionic PECs with different charge levels. The adsorption experiments were performed in 1 and 10 mM sodium chloride solutions at pH 5 and 7.5. The highest adsorption of PAH and cationic PECs was found at pH 7.5, where the slightly negatively charged nature of the lignin substrate is more pronounced, governing electrostatic attraction of oppositely charged polymeric substances. An increase in the adsorption was further found when the electrolyte concentration was increased. In comparison, both PAA and the anionic PEC showed remarkably high adsorption to the lignin model film. The adsorption of PAA was further studied on silica and was found to be relatively low even at high electrolyte concentrations. This indicated that the high PAA adsorption on the lignin films was not induced by a decreased solubility of the anionic polyelectrolyte. The high levels of adsorption on lignin model surfaces found both for PAA and the anionic PAA-PAH polyelectrolyte complex points to the presence of strong nonionic interactions in these systems.

Abstract
The i.r. spectra of D-glucose and cellulose oligosaccharides up to cellopentaose have been compared with those of cellulose at various temperatures between that of liguid nitrogen and approximately 250 degrees. Significant changes in frequency and intensity of the bands at approximately 3400 cm -1 were observed. The a 1372 cm -1/a2900 cm -1 ratio for each carbohydrate studied decreased gradually as the temperature was increased above ambient. The change of the band intensities at 1429 and 893 cm -1 with temperature was also investigated. The observed spectral changes are assumed to be associated with changes of hydrogen bonding.
