Article Abstract
We herein present a novel and simple synthetic strategy for fabricating multihollow superparamagnetic magnetite/polystyrene nanocomposite microspheres via water-in-oil-in-water double emulsions. Amphipathic magnetite nanoparticles surface-modified with oleic acid act as an oil-soluble emulsifier and sodium dodecyl sulfate acts as a water-soluble surfactant in the system. The final products were thoroughly characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and field-emission scanning electron microscopy, which showed the formation of multihollow magnetite/polystyrene nanocomposite microspheres. Preliminary results of magnetic properties of multihollow magnetite/polystyrene microspheres were reported. The effect of the content of amphipathic magnetite nanoparticles on the morphology of nanocomposite microspheres was studied. Furthermore, the mechanism of formation of multihollow magnetic nanocomposite microspheres was also discussed.

17β-estradiol (E2) and estriol (E3), as natural estrogen contaminants in aquatic environments, have significant risks to ecosystems and human health by disrupting endocrine functions and inducing reproductive disorders even at trace levels. To address the urgent need for simultaneous monitoring of these structurally similar targets, we developed a dual-potential electrochemiluminescence (ECL) immunosensor for efficient parallel detection of E2 and E3. The sensor employs poly (1-naphthylamine)-molybdenum disulfide decorated with gold-silver bimetallic nanoclusters (PNA-MoS@AuAg NCs) as an ECL emitter, utilizing the self-enhancing property of AuAg NCs for intermolecular charge transfer and dual-potential-responsive properties to generate two well-resolved ECL signals (-0.

This study sought to create and characterize a novel antibiotic-loaded keratin-based film bandage for enhanced wound healing. Using the solvent casting method, keratin from chicken feathers was combined with gelatin (KG) in varying ratios to form films. Chitosan microspheres (Mc) were incorporated to achieve sustained release of bacitracin zinc (BZ).

The development of hemostatic materials for non-compressible intra-abdominal hemorrhage in complex pre-hospital emergency settings remains a formidable challenge. A novel injectable hydrogel based on mussel-inspired nanocomposite microspheres was designed. The biocompatible hydrogel was formed by hydrating gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) cryogel microspheres-reinforced with polydopamine (PDA)-intercalated nanoclay-with sterile saline, offering the dual benefits of convenient storage of microspheres and precise delivery to deep bleeding points via injection.

The synthesis consists of thermal decomposition of tin chloride pentahydrate and thiourea in the presence of NaOH-modified TiO microspheres in diphenyl ether (DPE) at ∼200 °C in air. The synthesized TiO@SnS core-shell nanocomposites were characterized by XRD, FT-IR, TGA, FESEM, TEM, EDXA, UV-DRS, PL and XPS.

Al-based nanocomposite energetic materials have broad application prospects in explosives and propellants, owing to their excellent energy release efficiency. However, their insufficient reliability, poor stability, and difficulty of formation limit their practical application. This study employed self-assembly using a hydrophilic polymer polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) together with nano-aluminum powder (Al), copper oxide (CuO), and ammonium perchlorate (AP) to obtain high-strength and high-activity composite micrometer-sized microspheres.
