Summary: In this study, the speed of sound in QCD matter was systematically investigated using the PNJL model in the grand canonical ensemble. The results indicate that the speed of sound can be indicative of QCD phase transition and new features of sound velocity were discovered. Furthermore, the relations between differently defined sound velocity were formulated, providing useful conclusions for hydrodynamics simulation and calculation of transport coefficient of bulk viscosity.

Summary: An analytical approximation for the flow of a linear Phan-Thien-Tanner model fluid through an axisymmetric semi-hyperbolic contraction is presented in this study. The semi-analytical solution proposed can accurately represent the exponential version of the viscoelastic model. The flow model equations for both linear and exponential Phan-Thien-Tanner models are solved with the consideration of Navier boundary conditions to account for slip at the geometry wall.

Summary: This study investigates the morphological changes of pentaethylene glycol monododecyl ether surfactant in water using molecular dynamics simulations. The packing parameter is found to be ineffective in indicating the morphological transformation, and the consideration of hydration shell is necessary. The study also reveals that water molecules disturbed by surfactant aggregates are depleted during the hexagonal-to-lamellar transformation, leading to the increase of surfactant-related entropy, which dominates the morphological transformation.

Summary: The conformation of PEO chains in star-like amphiphilic polymers has a significant impact on their associating behavior, especially when the number-average molecular weight of PEO is low. Adjusting the occupied area of PEO chains on the core-corona interface is necessary to avoid unfavorable conformations, which can lead to a decrease in aggregation numbers.

Summary: Low-molecular weight gelators (LMWGs) are small molecules that form self-assembled fibrillar network (SAFiN) hydrogels in water. This study focuses on the strength, fast recovery, and temperature resistance of SAFiN gels, using rheology and small angle X-ray scattering (rheo-SAXS) with synchrotron radiation. The Ca2+-based hydrogel maintains its properties up to 55 degrees C, while the Ag+-based gel shows constant elastic modulus up to 70 degrees C without any gel-to-sol transition temperature.

Summary: The static longitudinal and transverse gluon propagators in the Landau gauge were studied in 2+1 lattice QCD with nonzero isospin chemical potential mu(I). It was found that the longitudinal propagator is infrared suppressed at nonzero mu(I) with suppression increasing as mu(I) increases, and the electric screening mass also increases with mu(I). Additionally, the difference between two propagators was analyzed as a function of momentum to compare interactions in chromoelectric and chromomagnetic sectors.

Summary: A straightforward manufacture strategy is proposed to obtain an efficient and robust palladium-alumina (Pd0/Al2O3) cermet monolithic catalyst, specifically designed to perform safe microwave assisted organic synthesis. The catalyst is generated via 3D printing technology and sintering, resulting in a catalyst with high surface area, controlled composition, and adapted shape and dimensions. The Pd0 catalyst exhibits high activity, stability, and can be recycled and reused for at least 200 reaction cycles. The effective immobilization of palladium in the monolithic structure prevents the generation of hot spots, sparking, or hazardous discharges during the reaction.

Summary: Breast cancer has become the most diagnosed cancer, with a high mortality rate among women. Selective estrogen-receptor modulators (SERMs) have been used for the prevention and treatment of estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer, but their long-term oral administration has been associated with toxicity and side effects. This study explores the use of a polymeric gel-like solution as a topical administration route for the active metabolite of tamoxifen (EDX), which has shown significant antitumor efficacy and reduced toxicity compared to oral tamoxifen. This novel administration route could have a strong impact on breast cancer prevention and treatment.

Summary: In this study, novel gold nanorods stabilized with thiolated pectin were synthesized and their potential for photothermal therapy was investigated. The results showed that thiolated pectin effectively replaced the cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) on the surface of the gold nanorods, enhancing their stability without affecting their optical properties. The photothermal conversion efficiency of the gold nanorods stabilized with thiolated pectin was similar to that of the gold nanorods stabilized with CTAB. In addition, cell viability assays confirmed that the thiolated pectin coating improved the biocompatibility of the gold nanorods and decreased cell viability under laser irradiation.

Summary: In this study, the influence of transition metal doping on the electronic and mechanical properties and electrochemical performance of 2HMoS2/NC was investigated using Cobalt (Co) as an example. Co doping was found to effectively improve the electronic conductivity and active site areas of 2H-MoS2/NC at different positions, optimizing the adsorption and diffusion capability of potassium ions. Furthermore, the study revealed the optimal roles of different types of nitrogen atoms in kinetic adsorption, diffusion, and interfacial stability of potassium ions. These findings provide guidance for the experimental design of high rate 2H-MoS2/NC electrode materials and the optimal design of other functional composite materials.

Multi-layer architectures comprising CNT-rich and CNT-free LTO electrode layers were manufactured using a layer-by-layer spray coating method to promote charge transfer kinetics of high mass loading electrodes. The best performing multi-layer was paired with a spray-coated LiFePO4 (LFP) positive electrode, resulting in attractive power performance that outperformed conventional LTO || LFP combinations.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between the morphology of PMMA monopolymers and PMMA-PHEMA copolymers with the expected nature of surfactant-free microemulsions (SFMEs) before polymerization. It is found that previously mesostructured, surfactant-free mixtures can produce porous polymers of different morphologies, while unstructured, oil-rich regions lead to solid, transparent polymers without nanostructured morphologies. Additionally, a surfactant-based reference system shows similar phase behavior and polymer morphologies as the comparable surfactant-free system, indicating the importance of the hydrotropic behavior of HEMA in this system.
