Summary: A SERS-based biosensor was developed using PVDF membranes as a flexible support for the sensitive detection of GADA and IAA in T1DM. Two types of silver-gold core-shell nanotags were synthesized and used to capture the targets, enabling highly sensitive and highly selective detection of GADA and IAA. The embedded Raman probes between silver and gold layers ensured spectral stability and reliability, and the utilization of two Raman probes allowed simultaneous and multiplexing detection of both GADA and IAA, improving the detection accuracy for T1DM.

Summary: A study found that there is serological cross-reactivity between SARS-CoV-2 and dengue virus, which may affect dengue serodiagnosis and infectivity. In an experiment conducted in a highly dengue-endemic city in India, most of the COVID-19 positive serum samples showed cross-reactivity with dengue virus in rapid immunoassays or enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays and were able to neutralize dengue virus. This suggests that the COVID-19 pandemic may have a protective effect against dengue virus in dengue-endemic areas.

Summary: Photopolymerization technology is limited in the fields of food packaging and biomedicine due to the high migration of small molecules from photoinitiators. In this study, a polymerizable 2-vinyl thioxanthone (ETX) was synthesized to improve the migration stability of photoinitiators. Macromolecular photoinitiators (PPI1, PPI2) were also prepared to further reduce migration. The results showed that the ETX/TEOA system had higher initiation performance and PPI2 displayed favorable initiation ability. Additionally, the migration of ETX, PPI1, and PPI2 in photocured film was significantly reduced. These low-migration photoinitiators have potential applications in the fields of food packaging and biological materials.

Summary: This study focuses on the development of high-performance, low-migration photoinitiators. A polymerizable photoinitiator (VBP) was synthesized by introducing an ethylene group into benzophenone, and three different molecular weight single-component photoinitiators (PVBN1-3) were synthesized based on VBP. The results show that these new photoinitiators have stronger absorption ability compared to benzophenone and significantly reduce the migration of initiators and co-initiators, addressing the safety concerns caused by migration.

Summary: This study investigates the effect of plasma treatment on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and the structure/properties of polyimide (PI) nanocomposites with ultra-low content of CNTs. The results show that plasma treatment introduces isocyanate groups on the surface of CNTs and enhances the interfacial interaction between PI and treated CNTs. This leads to a significant improvement in the mechanical properties of the nanocomposites, with even a small addition of treated CNTs showing a substantial increase in Young's modulus, tensile strength and toughness.
