Summary: Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs)/DMSO organogels were carefully investigated in this study, and it was found that metal ions played a vital role in organogel formation, similar to hydrogels. The coordination between cations and DMSO alleviated the influence of cation valence on gel mechanical strength. Both CNCs/DMSO and CNCs/H2O gels exhibited instant thixotropic behavior, making them potentially useful for drug delivery applications.

Summary: This study investigates the combined use of nanofluids and laser surface texturing (LST) to improve tribological performance. ZrO2-MoDTC hybrid nanoparticles at different concentrations were added as lubricant additives in base oil. Steel pin surfaces were textured using laser ablation to create microtextured patterns of different shapes and sizes, and their tribological performance was evaluated. Circular dimple textured (DT) surfaces with 0.5 wt% ZrO2-MoDTC hybrid nanofluid demonstrated superior friction reduction and anti-wear performance compared to cross-groove textured (GT) and untextured (UT) surfaces. The average friction coefficient of DT was reduced by approximately 24-28% and 57-60% compared to GT and UT surfaces, respectively. The worn surface analysis indicated excellent tribological performance due to the synergistic effects of the nanofluid and LST.

Summary: The tribological performance of a thermal sprayed, mirror-like surface with localized protuberances was studied through experiments and computational simulations. The presence of protuberances promoted the quick formation of an antifriction tribofilm, reducing the asperity friction in reciprocating tribological tests. Computer simulations showed that the protuberances reduced hydrodynamic friction by increasing the oil film thickness and reducing the oil film shear rate.

Summary: As a renewable and highly crystalline natural polymer nanomaterial, chitin nanocrystals (ChNCs) have attracted significant attention in the field of biomedicine. The structure of ChNCs consists of an acetylglucosamine unit with two hydroxyl groups and one acetyl group. By converting the acetyl group to an active amino group through deacetylation, ChNCs can maintain their rod-like morphology and high crystallinity, which is beneficial for subsequent modification and potential applications. In this study, we investigated the relationship between different treatments and the varied crystallinities of modified ChNCs, which retained high crystallinity while obtaining surface amino groups and aldehyde groups. Natural biomolecules were covalently immobilized on the surface of ChNCs through etherification based on their hydroxyl groups. Carboxyamine and Knoevenagel condensation reactions were achieved on ChNCs using the amino and aldehyde groups. Finally, the modification of ChNCs with natural biomolecules exhibited low or no cytotoxicity, antibacterial properties, and high antioxidant properties, thereby expanding their potential biomedical applications.

Summary: The lubricating performance of 1,3-diketone oil was tested on steel surfaces with different roughness grades. Superlubricity was achieved on both smooth and typical engineering surfaces, with the rougher surface showing a shorter running-in time. However, superlubricity was not achieved on the roughest surface due to excessive consumption of oil and large abrasive particles. This study is the first to report oil-based superlubricity on steel surfaces with a roughness of around 200 nm, with potential applications in industry.

Summary: As an important friction pair in a diesel engine, the cylinder-liner piston ring (CL-PR) operates in a challenging high-temperature environment. In order to understand the relationship between the friction performance of the CL-PR and temperature changes, a reciprocating-friction and wear-testing machine was used to analyze the friction and lubrication performance of four different lubricating oils at various temperatures (room temperature, 60 degrees C, 90 degrees C, and 120 degrees C) based on friction coefficient, contact resistance, and surface topography. The results show that the tribological properties of the lubricating oils exhibit different trends as temperature increases. The friction coefficient of the base oil initially decreases and then increases with temperature, indicating improved friction performance due to a certain temperature rise, as well as the promotion of oxide film formation and reduction in friction coefficient with temperature. On the other hand, the friction coefficient of the other three lubricating oils initially increases and then stabilizes, with the most severe wear observed at 120 degrees C in the form of abrasive wear and adhesive wear.

Summary: Liver disease is a major cause of global mortality, and identifying biomarkers for diagnosing its progression is crucial for improving outcomes. Targeted mass spectrometry is a powerful tool for verifying biomarker candidates and clinical applications, particularly for glycoproteins translation. However, the limitation of analyzing only one sample per run has become apparent. In this study, a high-throughput intact N-glycopeptides quantification strategy was developed, allowing the validation of 20 samples per run with an average analysis time of 3 minutes per sample. The strategy was applied in a cohort of 461 serum samples and identified a panel of 10 IgG N-glycopeptides that have strong clinical utility in evaluating the severity of liver disease.
