Article Abstract
A novel and facile approach to the preparation of paramagnetic magnetite/polystyrene nanocomposite microspheres by 60Co gamma-ray radiation-induced miniemulsion polymerization is reported. First, we modified the magnetite nanoparticles (MPs) with a Y-shaped surfactant: 12-hexanoyloxy-9-octadecenoic acid (HOA). Nanocomposite microspheres consisting of polystyrene-iron oxide nanoparticles then were prepared by the radiation-induced miniemulsion polymerization of styrene in the presence of HOA-modified MPs using HOA as stabilizer. The final products were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The effects of the dose rate, the amounts of added hexadecane (HD) and MPs, and the morphology of the final products were studied. We have also studied the polymerization kinetics to prove the miniemulsion polymerization mechanism of the nanocomposite microspheres.

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.

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.
