Summary: Decades of research have not reached a consensus on the properties that produce effective oral drug delivery systems using nanoparticles. This study proposes a mechanism involving biocoating to explain the behavior of nanoparticles in vivo, which can alter their surface properties and affect their systemic uptake. Coating nanoparticles with mucus is found to increase their mucosal diffusion rate and promote high systemic uptake.

Summary: This study designed and developed inhalable Pluronic F127-modified silk fibroin nanoparticles (QR-SF (PF127) NPs) to overcome the mucosal barrier and enhance the cancer therapeutic effect of QR. The PF127 coating on the SF NPs attenuated the interaction between NPs and mucin proteins and facilitated their diffusion in the mucus layer. The QR-SF (PF127) NPs exhibited superior mucus-penetrating ability in artificial mucus and Calu-3 cell model, and significantly improved the therapeutic effect in a mice melanoma lung metastasis model.

Summary: In this study, TiO2-graphite photocatalysts were synthesized using a one-step in situ microwave procedure, and the influence of graphite content on the crystal structure, surface area development, and optical properties of the photocatalysts was determined. The presence of graphite caused a red shift in the absorption spectra, and a tailor-made LED photoreactor was designed to match the spectrum of the photocatalyst and the light source, resulting in enhanced elimination of sulfamethoxazole. The TiO2-graphite systems showed higher sulfamethoxazole removal efficiency compared to the reference TiO2, and exhibited good reusability, suggesting the potential of this spectral matching approach for wastewater treatment plants.

Summary: In this study, composite chitosan beads with incorporated molecularly imprinted polymers and iron(III) hydroxide were developed for the removal of ibuprofen from water. The adsorption properties were investigated under different conditions, and the highest adsorption capacity was achieved with the beads containing ibuprofen-imprinted monoliths. The adsorption followed the Freundlich isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetic models, and the process was found to be endothermic and thermodynamically spontaneous. The adsorbent retained its selectivity and remained effective in real water samples for multiple desorption-adsorption cycles.

Summary: This study presents a microwave strategy to fabricate highly active anatase particles with exposed {101} and {001} facets. The growth of crystals in a certain direction is determined by the microwave treatment time. The contact time of TiO2 crystals with fluorine ions during the microwave process was found to affect the formed morphology, particularly the exposed facets ratio. The simultaneous use of synthesized anatase nanocrystals with exposed {001}/{101} facets and a tailored LED photoreactor led to enhanced elimination of metronidazole.

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.

Summary: This research developed an effective approach to enhance the charging rates of lithium ion batteries (LIBs) by strategically incorporating carbon nanotube (CNT) conductivity boosters into Li4Ti5O12 (LTO) electrodes. 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.
