Application


  • TD-GC/MS analysis of indoor air pollutants (VOCs, PM) in hair salons.: This study highlights the application of thermal desorption-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (TD-GC/MS) for detecting volatile organic compounds including xylenes in indoor environments like hair salons, contributing to occupational health studies (Kaikiti C et al., 2022).

  • Environmental sampling of volatile organic compounds during the 2018 Camp Fire in Northern California.: Focuses on the monitoring of xylenes and other VOCs during wildfire events, providing data crucial for environmental impact assessments and public health advisories (Simms LA et al., 2021).

  • A comprehensive air quality investigation at an aquatic centre: Indoor/outdoor comparisons.: Investigates xylenes and other air pollutants in an indoor aquatic center, comparing them to outdoor levels to assess ventilation efficiency and air quality control measures (Tolis EI et al., 2018).

  • BTEX biodegradation by bacteria from effluents of petroleum refinery.: Examines the biodegradation of BTEX compounds including xylenes by specific bacteria strains, which is significant for bioremediation techniques and reducing environmental impacts of industrial effluents (Mazzeo DE et al., 2010).

Cephalopods can display dazzling patterns of colours by selectively contracting muscles to reversibly activate chromatophores--pigment-containing cells under their skins. Inspired by this novel colouring strategy found in nature, we design an electro-mechano-chemically responsive elastomer system that can exhibit a wide
