Summary: The study investigates the improvement of nucleic acid delivery by using depolymerized chitosan-polyethylenimine DNA complexes. This modular approach combines core-dCS-linear PEI/DNA complexes with a shell consisting of dCS-PEG-COOH, resulting in improved nucleic acid encapsulation, cellular uptake, and transfection potency. The optimized ternary complex shows high reporter gene signal for three days after administration, indicating its potential for in vitro and in vivo gene delivery.

Summary: A synthetic toolbox has been developed to create monodisperse core-shell and core-shell-shell particles composed entirely of different types of conjugated polymers. Seeded and fed-batch dispersion polymerizations based on Suzuki-Miyaura-type cross-coupling allow precise control over the interface between conjugated polymer phases, facilitating control over energy transfer phenomena. This new approach offers synthetic freedom for fine-tuning the optical properties of CPP, potentially enabling the synthesis of individual white light-emitting particles.

Summary: This study investigated the relationship between particle characteristics and lubrication properties of biopolymer particles using whey protein isolate (WPI) and xanthan gum (XG) at different temperatures. The composite particles exhibited a core-shell structure, with WPI/XG-75 showing a more complete XG coating compared to WPI/XG-95. The particle size of WPI/XG-75 was similar to WPI-75, while WPI/XG-95 had a larger particle size. The composite particles had higher surface hydrophobicity than WPI-75, with WPI/XG-75 being the highest. Tribology results showed that the friction coefficient of WPI/XG composite particles was initially higher than WPI-75, but became similar to or lower than WPI-75 at higher sliding speeds. Different lubricating behaviors were observed for particles with or without XG in the presence of artificial saliva. WPI/XG-95 also exhibited excellent fat replacing function in the emulsion. Overall, particles with a core-shell structure are promising for fat replacement, but improvements are needed in terms of particle size and clustering.

Summary: The combination of multiple electrode materials and their reasonable structural design can lead to the preparation of composite electrodes with excellent performance. This study focuses on the hydrothermal growth of five transition metal sulfides on the surfaces of carbon nanofibers grown with Ni(OH)(2) and NiO (CHO) prepared by electrospinning, hydrothermal growth, and low-temperature carbonization. The CHO/NiS composite electrode exhibits optimal electrochemical properties, with a specific capacitance of up to 1717 F g(-1) (1 A g(-1)). The asymmetric supercapacitor assembled with CHO/NiS-3h as the positive electrode demonstrates the potential application of multistage core-shell composite materials in high-performance supercapacitors.
