Abstract Biocompatible magnesium alloys represent revolutionary implantable materials in dentistry and orthopedics but face challenges due to rapid biocorrosion, necessitating protective coatings mitigate dysfunction. Directly integrating durable onto Mg surfaces is challenging because of intrinsic low coating compactness. Herein, inspired by tooth enamel, a novel highly compact dual‐protection inorganic‐protein (inorganic Pro ) situ constructed on through bovine serum albumin (BSA)...
Abstract Implantable medical devices have been widely applied in diagnostics, therapeutics, organ restoration, and other biomedical areas, but often suffer from dysfunction infections due to irreversible biofouling. Inspired by the self‐defensive “vine‐thorn” structure of climbing thorny plants, a zwitterion‐conjugated protein is engineered via grafting sulfobetaine methacrylate (SBMA) segments on native bovine serum albumin (BSA) molecules for surface coating antifouling applications...
Silver cations can mediate base pairing of guanine (G) DNA oligomers, yielding linear parallel G–Ag+–G duplexes with enhanced stabilities compared to those canonical duplexes. To enable their use in programmable nanotechnologies, it is critical understand solution-state formation and the nanomechanical stiffness Using temperature-controlled circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, we find that heating mixtures G oligomers silver salt above 50 °C fully destabilizes G-quadruplex structures...
Asphaltenes subfractions with distinct interfacial behaviors may play different roles in stabilizing oil-water emulsions.
Abstract Surfactant modification to improve interfacial hydrophobicity is widely employed in separation applications such as mineral recovery. However, few modifications effectively enhance both the inherent of surfactant and its surface‐anchoring capacity. In this study, we propose a strategy incorporate thioether group into hydroxamate surfactant, resulting synthesis N‐hydroxy‐2‐(octylthio)acetamide (OTHA). Compared thioether‐free (OHA), significantly improves metal‐anchoring capability...
Despite the advances that have been made in renewable energy over past decade, crude oil or petroleum remains one of most important resources to world. Petroleum production presents many challenging issues, such as destabilization complex oil–water emulsions, fouling phenomena on pipelines and other facilities, water treatment. These problems are influenced by molecular forces at oil/water/solid/gas interfaces involved relevant processes. Herein, we present an overview recent probing...
