Physical properties and cellular responses of gelatin methacryloyl bulk hydrogels and highly ordered porous hydrogels

Haiyan Yin, Mengxiang Zhu, Yingying Wang et al. · 12 Jan 2023

Protein-based hydrogels hold a high content of water in their three-dimensional (3D) network structure and exhibit innate biological activities as well as soft tissue-like mechanical properties, resulting in being highly applicable to various tissue engineering fields. However, precisely controlling the 3D porous structure of protein-based hydrogels remains a challenging task, and understanding the influence of…

Recent applications of the Successive Self-nucleation and Annealing thermal fractionation technique

Ricardo A. Pérez‐Camargo, Dario Cavallo, Alejandro J. Müller · 28 Sep 2022

Successive Self-nucleation and Annealing (SSA) is a thermal fractionation technique that is performed by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). The combination of non-isothermal and isothermal steps applied during SSA achieves efficient molecular segregation during polymer crystallization. Such molecular segregation magnifies the effect of defects in polymer chain crystallization, thereby providing information on chain structure. The technique…

Non-lamellar lipid liquid crystalline nanoparticles: A smart platform for nanomedicine applications

Marco Fornasier, Sergio Murgia · 15 Mar 2023

The increased interest of the scientific community in lipid nanoparticles has pushed the boundaries of personal medicine and drug delivery. The focus has been set on vesicular nanocarriers, as their structure and functionalities have been well described, but the application of their non-lamellar counterparts, cubosomes and hexosomes, has shown their potency as drug carriers. In…

Nanoparticles in thermotropic and lyotropic liquid crystals

Chung‐Hao Chen, Ingo Dierking · 7 Jan 2025

Over the last few decades many applications of liquid crystals have been developed, including the widely employed technology of low-power, flat-panel liquid crystal displays (LCDs), but also sensors, photonic devices and other non-display applications employed in medicine and drug delivery. In recent years, the research trends have shifted in other directions. Nanotechnology and nanoscience have…

Deep learning techniques for the localization and classification of liquid crystal phase transitions

Ingo Dierking, Jason Dominguez, James Harbon et al. · 3 Feb 2023

Deep Learning techniques such as supervised learning with convolutional neural networks and inception models were applied to phase transitions of liquid crystals to identify transition temperatures and the respective phases involved. In this context achiral as well as chiral systems were studied involving the isotropic liquid, the nematic phase of solely orientational order, fluid smectic…

Frontiers in Soft Matter template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Frontiers in Soft Matter format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Frontiers in Soft Matter template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Frontiers format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Frontiers in Soft Matter use?
Frontiers in Soft Matter uses Author–year (Harvard) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, A., Jones, B. and Lee, C. (2023) 'A representative article title', Frontiers in Soft Matter, 12(3), pp. 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Frontiers in Soft Matter?
No. DocuGuru generates the FrontiersinHarvard LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Frontiers-ready Frontiers in Soft Matter document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Frontiers in Soft Matter template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Frontiers in Soft Matter format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
What is Frontiers in Soft Matter?
Frontiers journal. It is a life sciences and medicine journal, published by Frontiers.
Can I export a submission-ready Frontiers in Soft Matter PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Frontiers in Soft Matter template (the FrontiersinHarvard class) that is ready to submit to Frontiers, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
