Article Abstract
Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) latex nanoparticles serve as a versatile platform for surface modification due to their role as precursors in PVDF manufacturing. However, the strong chemical stability and poor compatibility of PVDF present significant challenges for effective surface modification. To address this, we developed a method that facilitates surface modification through chain entanglement. By employing monomer swelling emulsion polymerization, poly(meth)acrylate (PA) monomers are incorporated into PVDF nanoparticles and subsequently polymerized. Rheological properties and transmission electron microscopy mapping confirmed the chain entanglement between PVDF and PA, indicating a successful integration. This method is efficient, straightforward, and highly adaptable, making it well-suited for large-scale industrial production.

Although improving the charging cutoff voltage is an effective strategy to increase its capacity, LiCoO ("LCO") undergoes rapid capacity decay due to severe structural and interface degradations at high voltages. Herein, we proposed a multifunctional surface modification by coating nano-sized entropy materials (Li-La-Ti-Zr-Co-O, Nano-MEO). Nano-MEO rivets were constructed on the surface of LCO, which stabilized the fragile surface.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease, the incidence of which continues to rise globally, and existing therapeutic options are limited by low drug bioavailability and systemic side effects. In this study, we systematically investigated the challenges of the special gastrointestinal environment of UC patients for oral drug delivery, such as extreme pH, degradation by digestive enzymes, metabolism of intestinal flora and obstruction of the intestinal mucosal barrier, and summarized the potential of plant-derived Exosome-like Nanovesicles (PELNs) as a novel delivery system. PELNs are produced by plant cells and mainly consist of proteins, RNA, lipids and plant active molecules.

In this study, silicon nanoparticles (NPs) were produced by pulsed laser ablation in a liquid, aiming to investigate the influence of a laser beam profile on the properties of the resultant NPs. Morphology, inner structure, and phase composition of the formed NPs were characterized by means of ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and Raman and photoluminescence spectroscopies, and the correlation of the NP properties with the laser beam profile was studied. Three different beam profiles were selected, namely, a Bessel beam produced using an axicon, an annular profile formed using a combination of an axicon and a converging lens, and a Gaussian beam focused on the surface of a Si target using the same converging lens.

Carbon-based quantum dots (CQDs) have been around for a few decades. Low cell toxicity, good water solubility, excellent and tunable fluorescence properties, and the ability to dope and modify the surface of these CQDs make them an incredible choice for the visualization and treatment of various cancers. This perspective analyzes some recent progress on size-color correlation, modification, and cancer treatment applications of CQDs.
