Article Abstract
Insect sex pheromones as an alternative to chemical pesticides hold promising prospects in pest control. However, their burst release and duration need to be optimized. Herein, pheromone-loaded core-shell fibers composed of degradable polycaprolactone and polyhydroxybutyrate were prepared by coaxial electrospinning. The results showed that this core-shell fiber had good hydrophobic performance and thermal stability, and the light transmittance in the ultraviolet band was only below 40%, which provided protection to pheromones. The core-shell structure alleviated the burst release of pheromone in the fiber and extended the release time to about 133 days. In the field, the pheromone-loaded core-shell fibers showed the same continuous and efficient trapping of as the commercial carriers. More importantly, the electrospun fibers combined with biomaterials had a degradability unmatched by commercial carriers. The structure design strategy provides ideas for the innovative design of pheromone carriers and is a potential tool for the management of agricultural pests.

Microfibers are pollutants of increasing concern, as they accumulate in aquatic environments and pose risks to living organisms. Once released, they undergo degradation processes that reduce their size and enhance their ability to interact with biological systems. Among these processes, photodegradation is a key driver, leading to fiber fragmentation and structural shrinkage.

Electronic capacitor films based on polymer matrices and inorganic nanofillers capable of storing more energy play a crucial role in advanced modern electrical industries and devices. Herein, a series of nanocomposite films composed of "core-shell-dot" BNNs-PDA@Ag hybrid structures with multiple breakdown strength enhancement mechanisms as fillers and methyl methacrylate--glycidyl methacrylate (MG) copolymers as matrices were successfully synthesized. The introduced 2D and wide-bandgap BNNs not only enhanced the breakdown strength by taking advantage of their excellent physical properties, but also further improved their energy storage properties both at ambient and elevated temperatures through the formation of deeper traps at the organic-inorganic interface.

Recent advances in neural regeneration have demonstrated the importance of incorporating proteins into polymeric capsules to provide both topographical and biochemical cues to cells. Coaxial electrospinning has emerged as a versatile technique for embedding delicate bioactive agents within core-shell nanofibers, enabling controlled and sustained drug release. In this study, we employed a design-of-experiment approach to systematically investigate how controllable parameters in coaxial electrospinning influence the diameter and size distribution of aligned poly (ethylene oxide-poly(l-lactide-co-glycolide) nanofibers loaded with nerve growth factor (NGF).

Combining the advantages of semiconductors and precious metals to produce highly sensitive Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates. In this paper, CuO@Ag core-shell particles were prepared, optical fibers were selected as substrates to strengthen the portability of SERS substrates, optical fiber SERS probes were prepared by electrostatic adsorption method and chemical bonding method, and the performance of SERS probes prepared by the two methods under the same deposition time was discussed, which it was found that the optical fiber probes prepared by chemical bonding method had better Raman enhancement effect. Rhodamine 6G(R6G) was used as the detection molecule to investigate the detection limit, uniformity, reproducibility of fiber SERS probe.

The shuttle effect, low electrical conductivity, and sluggish reaction kinetics of sulfur significantly limit the practical application of lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries. In this study, high-entropy alloy nanoparticles encapsulated in carbon nanocages and supported by carbon fibers (HEA@NC/CF) are prepared as an interlayer material in Li-S batteries to address these challenges. The HEA nanoparticles provide abundant adsorption and catalytic sites.
