Zein-Based Electrospun Composite Nanofiber Films for Food Packaging

Food packaging films play a crucial role in maintaining food quality and safeguarding human health, making the development of advanced packaging materials an important research priority. Conventional petroleum-based plastic films suffer from poor degradability and may pose environmental and potential health concerns, while many currently available preservative films still exhibit limited freshness-retention performance. Therefore, the development of environmentally friendly, non-toxic, biodegradable, and efficient food-packaging materials is of great significance. In this study, coaxial electrospinning was…

Co-Encapsulation of Silymarin and Mesenchymal Stromal Cells in PEG Norbornene Microgels Enhances HepG2 Cell Resistance to Inflammatory Damage

Inflammatory liver injury represents a significant clinical challenge, characterized by a hostile immune microenvironment and extensive tissue damage. Although silymarin and mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) show promise in treating inflammatory liver injury, their efficacy is restricted by the drug’s poor bioavailability while MSC therapy is hampered by low cellular viability under inflammatory stress. To overcome these challenges, we engineered a droplet-microfluidic-assisted platform to co-encapsulate silymarin and MSCs within uniform, biocompatible polyethylene glycol-norbornene (PEGNB) hydrogel microspheres.…

Molecular Design of a Hyperbranched Polymer Wetting Agent for Superior Barite Sag Control in Ultra-Low Oil-to-Water Ratio Drilling Fluids

Reducing the oil-to-water ratio (OWR) of oil-based drilling fluids (OBDFs) to ultra-low levels (e.g., 55:45) exacerbates barite sag—a failure mode driven by barite’s inherent hydrophilicity and the weakened suspending capacity of the oil phase. Conventional low-molecular-weight wetting agents fail under these demanding conditions due to weak adsorption and thermal instability. In direct response to the solid-phase control challenge described above, we designed and synthesized a new hyperbranched polymeric wetting agent (HP-Wet) via a deliberate molecular…

The Design, Fabrication and Miniaturization of Polymeric Hydrogels for Therapeutic Actions

Polymeric hydrogels are three-dimensional hydrophilic macromolecular networks capable of retaining varying amounts of water, similar to the extracellular matrix (ECM). To effectively translate these materials into therapeutic actions, it is of importance to control their molecular design, structural architecture, and physical dimensions, ensuring that these factors are strictly optimized to meet the demands of therapeutic applications. Existing reviews mainly focus on specific hydrogel aspects, but there is a gap in translating hydrogel miniaturization into therapeutic…

Internal Microstructure and Properties of a Reduced Graphene Oxide/Carbon Fiber/Carbon Based Composite Materials

During the preparation of carbon fiber reinforced carbon matrix (C/C) composites from resin based precursors, the glassy carbon derived from resin pyrolysis is difficult to graphitize into an ordered structure during carbonization and graphitization, which adversely affects the performance of C/C composites. To enhance the transformation of resin-derived carbon into an ordered structure, we employed a structurally ordered graphene-based material to modify a phenolic resin/carbon fiber precursor and designed two composite modification structures that are…

Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):Poly(styrenesulfonate)-Based Hydrogel Strain Sensors: Materials, Fabrication, Performance, and Applications

Hydrogel strain sensors are widely used in wearable electronics, human-machine interfaces, flexible electronics, owing to their ability to convert mechanical deformation into electrical signals. This function requires sensor materials to possess both high compliance and electrical conductivity. Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) has emerged as an ideal candidate for hydrogel strain sensors due to its soft and flexible mechanical properties, tunable mechanical performance, mixed ionic-electronic conductivity, and excellent processability. Although extensive research has been conducted on PEDOT:PSS-based hydrogel…

Partial Oxidation of Diacrylates to Produce Epoxy-Acrylate Hybrid Monomers: Precursors for Ambient-Curable Polymeric Epoxy Resins

Epoxy-acrylate hybrid systems are extensively employed in adhesives, coatings, and composites; however, conventional formulations often rely on toxic monomers such as glycidyl methacrylate (GMA). This study introduces a sequentially curable epoxy-acrylate hybrid system based on novel hybrid monomers containing both glycidate and acrylate groups, synthesized via the partial oxidation of a diacrylate. Radical polymerization of monomers with a glycidate content exceeding 80% yielded viscous prepolymers consisting of epoxy-functionalized polymers and residual low-molecular-weight glycidates. These prepolymers…

Quasi 2D Silicon Nanosheet and Polyaniline Nanocomposites: Structural and Photoluminescence Properties

Experimental preparation of graphene like 2D silicon is a great challenge due to the dominant sp³ hybridization in silicon. We have synthesized quasi 2D crystalline silicon nanosheets by topochemical exfoliation of layered Zintl phases, which bear signatures of properties predicted theoretically. Quasi-two-dimensional silicon nanosheets were uniformly dispersed within a conducting polyaniline matrix to fabricate solid-state nanocomposites with varying silicon loadings. The resulting polyaniline–quasi-2D silicon composites were systematically examined for their structural characteristics and optical emission behavior.…

Surface-Functionalized ZnO Nanorods via PEG-Assisted Stabilization for Durable Antibacterial Lyocell Fibers

This study reports a polyethylene glycol (PEG)-assisted surface functionalization strategy to achieve colloidal stabilization of rod-shaped ZnO nanorods and their uniform integration into Lyocell fibers via dry-jet wet spinning. ZnO nanorods are prone to aggregation due to high surface energy, limiting their antibacterial efficacy. We demonstrate that PEG molecules adsorb onto ZnO surfaces through hydrogen bonding and coordination, providing steric stabilization that prevents agglomeration and ensures homogeneous dispersion in the spinning dope. The optimized composite…
