Article Abstract
The growing demand for multifunctional materials in biomedical and packaging applications necessitates the development of advanced nanocomposites with superior mechanical, barrier, and antibacterial properties. This study presents cyclic olefin copolymer (COC)/titanium dioxide (TiO) nanocomposite films fabricated through the facile solution casting method, incorporating TiO at concentrations of 1, 3, and 5 wt %. Structural and morphological analyses confirmed effective TiO dispersion at lower concentrations, while agglomeration was observed at 5 wt %. The incorporation of TiO significantly enhanced barrier properties, reducing water vapor permeability from 80.67 to 29.99 g/m h and oxygen permeability from 7.66 to 2.78 mg/mL. Mechanical properties showed marked improvement, with tensile strength increasing by 113% and tensile modulus by 81.3% at 3 wt % TiO. Antibacterial tests demonstrated efficacy against and , while cytotoxicity studies confirmed the biocompatibility of the films. These findings highlight the potential of COC/TiO nanocomposites for applications, such as antibacterial coatings, wound healing patches, and high-performance packaging.

Transition metal-catalyzed "cut-and-sew" reactions offer an efficient approach to construct bridged and fused scaffolds; however, the substrates have been primarily restricted to cyclic ketones and activated cyclopropanes. Here we report the first cut-and-sew transformation between β-lactams and alkenes/alkynes via C-C bond activation. Diverse bridged and fused nitrogen-heterocycles are prepared using this method with good functional group tolerance.

Electrochemical dehydrogenative α-vinylation of cyclic β-ketoesters using 1,1-disubstituted alkenes is reported, producing a diverse range of α-vinyl cycloketones in good yields under oxidant-free conditions. When allylsilanes are used as alkene components, the reaction proceeds through a dual dehydrogenative and desilylative pathway, resulting in the formation of α-allyl cycloketones with good efficiency. This electrochemical strategy provides a unified approach for constructing all-carbon quaternary centers two distinct α-functionalization processes.

Organostibines exhibit significant potential as functional handles for the construction of C─C-rich scaffolds owing to their orthogonal and robust reactivity features. At present, the transformation of C(sp)/C(sp)─Sb bonds into C─C bonds has established a mature methodology. However, breakthroughs in the C(sp)─Sb system still require systematic investigations into reaction mechanisms, catalyst design, and other aspects.
