Fabrication and investigation of chitosan/PVA and chitosan/PVA/nisin nanofibers via electrospinning as potential wound dressing agents.

Ebrahimpoor Sepideh S, Asefnejad Azadeh A, Mohammadi Mohsen M

The objective of this study was to fabricate and evaluate chitosan(CS)/polyvinyl alcohol(PVA) nanofibrous wound dressings incorporated with nisin and compare their performance with CS-PVA scaffolds. Nanofibers were produced via electrospinning under optimised conditions (18 kV voltage, 0.2 mL/h flow rate, and 120 mm tip-to-collector distance). Scanning electron microscopy revealed that incorporation of nisin increased the average fibre diameter from 114.5 nm to 125.8 nm, while porosity decreased from 89.13% to 86.21%. Antibacterial activity was evaluated against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. CS-PVA scaffolds showed no inhibition, whereas CS-PVA-nisin exhibited significant antibacterial activity with inhibition zones of 34.5 mm for S. aureus and 25.4 mm for E. coli. FTIR confirmed the successful incorporation of nisin through characteristic peaks at 3330 cm-1 and 2918 cm-1. Addition of nisin did not significantly affect tensile strength (1.6 MPa for both samples), although tensile strain decreased from 8% to 5.1% and Young's modulus increased from 20 MPa to 31.37 MPa. Contact angle measurements increased from 49° to 59°, indicating reduced hydrophilicity. MTT assay results demonstrated high cell viability for both scaffolds (95.2% for CS-PVA and 94.7% for CS-PVA-nisin), confirming their non-cytotoxic nature Overall, CS-PVA-nisin nanofibers exhibited enhanced antibacterial performance while maintaining suitable mechanical properties and biocompatibility.

Evaluating the impact of polymer and fiber modifiers on mechanical performance of asphalt mixtures across a wide temperature range.

Dashtizadeh Pooria P, Moghaddas Mahmood Jazayeri MJ, Mahdavi Adeli Mehdi M, Khayat Navid N

In this research, the effects of using different fiber modifiers and bitumen additives on the mechanical and performance properties of asphalt mixtures across a wide temperature range, including high-, moderate-, and low-temperature conditions (specifically - 6 °C and - 12 °C for low-temperature testing), were investigated. The main objective of this study was to improve the durability and extend the service life of asphalt mixtures using combinations of polymeric modifiers and fibers, with particular emphasis on clarifying the influence of fiber tensile strength and length on overall performance. Seven types of asphalt mixtures were prepared, including mixtures modified with Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene (SBS) and RW Elast polymers, as well as fibers such as Forta and Parafiber, and combinations of 6AR and 12AR fibers with Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE). Various mechanical tests, including resilient modulus (RM), four-point bending fatigue (FPBF), three-point bending fracture (TPB), and the wheel tracking test (WTT) tests were conducted under controlled laboratory conditions. The results showed that the 6AR+LDPE mixture achieved the highest resilient modulus (≈ 7100 MPa), followed by 12AR+LDPE (≈ 6100 MPa), compared to the control mixture (≈ 4200 MPa). Forta fibers provided the highest fatigue life (> 140,000 cycles), significantly exceeding the control mixture (~ 80,000 cycles). In the rutting test, mixtures containing Forta and Parafiber exhibited the lowest rut depth, indicating improved resistance to permanent deformation.

The effect of compaction pressure and sintering temperature on phase evolution and technological properties of alumina mullite zirconia ceramics.

Wahsh M M S MMS, Mansour T S TS

Alumina-mullite-zirconia ceramic composites were fabricated using a solid-state reaction involving nano silica, alumina, and zirconia powder mixes at varying sintering temperatures (1450-1600 °C) and compaction pressures (80-160 MPa). Magnesia was added in a consistent proportion to stabilize the tetragonal phase of zirconia at room temperature and as sintering aid. The densification parameters of sintered ceramic composites, namely bulk density, apparent porosity, and linear change, were measured. The phase composition and microstructure of sintered ceramics were determined using XRD and SEM. The results show that a specific quantity of nano silica (5 wt%) plays an important role in improving the sintering and densification parameters of sintered samples. Compaction pressures of up to 120 MPa enhanced the densification parameters in sintered samples due to increases in powder compact and sold state sintering processes. Stress-induced phase transformation from tetragonal to monoclinic in zirconia, which is accompanied by a 3-5% volume expansion, may improve the mechanical properties of sintered samples. This volume expansion forms a compressive stress zone around a crack tip, thereby preventing it from propagating.

High-strength lignin-based polyurethane with multilayer integrated structure: A flexible protective layer for intelligent robot perception and energy supply.

Duan Tingxuan T, Liu Bo B, Lou Xin-Yue XY, Kou Xuhan X et al.

As robotic technologies continue to advance, the growing demand for integrated protection, sensing, and energy-supply functions in outdoor robotic systems can scarcely be satisfied by single-functioned materials. Herein, a sandwich-structured multifunctional intelligent material is developed, wherein lignin-based polyurethane (LPU) serves as the mechanical support layer, acrylic-based eutectic gel as the conductive sensing layer, and MXene as the photothermal/infrared stealth layer. Through the incorporation of acylsemicarbazide (ASC)-derived hydrogen-bond arrays into the lignin-based polyurethane network, LPU is endowed with high mechanical strength (the tensile strength increased from 45.6 MPa to 81 MPa), self-healing property, and recyclability, as well as excellent impact resistance and photothermal properties, providing reliable structural support for the entire material. As the conductive adhesive layer, the acrylic-based eutectic gel enables reliable monitoring of both large-scale human motions and subtle movements while maintaining intimate conformal contact with skin joints for precise signal transduction. MXene, as the photothermal energy supply and infrared stealth layer on the surface, can achieve an output voltage of nearly 0.3 V under 8.0 W cm-2 light irradiation. This integrated structure effectively addresses the inherent drawbacks of including module interference, poor structural compatibility, and low integration levels. Moreover, it provides a novel approach for the construction of lightweight and multifunctional wearable sensing devices.

Effects and Mechanisms of Action of Acupuncture on Bone and Lipid Metabolism in a Rat Model of Postmenopausal Osteoporosis.

Zhang S-N SN, Zhang C-C CC, Jiang L-H LH, Ouyang G G

This study investigated the effects of acupuncture on bone and lipid metabolism in a rat model of postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP). Thirty-two female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to four groups: blank control, sham-operated, model (ovariectomy), and acupuncture treatment (ovariectomy plus acupuncture). Following treatment, bone mineral density (BMD), bone tissue morphological changes with quantitative histomorphometry, serum bone metabolism markers, estradiol (E2) levels at multiple time points, body mass index (BMI), blood lipid indicators, inflammatory factors, and gut microbiota composition were measured in each group. Acupuncture increased femoral BMD after adjusting for femoral shaft thickness (P<0.05) and improved trabecular bone structure, with significant rises in trabecular number, thickness, and bone volume fraction (P<0.05). Serum osteoprotegerin levels increased and osteoclast markers decreased. Serial E2 measurements showed progressive restoration from week 4. Acupuncture reduced BMI (P<0.05), with BMI changes negatively correlating with BMD improvements (r=-0.68, P<0.01). Lipid metabolism and inflammatory markers were significantly improved (P<0.05). Gut microbiota analysis indicated increased abundance of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium and decreased pathogenic bacteria (P<0.05). Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry suggested acupuncture may promote osteogenic differentiation via upregulation of the cAMP-PKA-CREB pathway. Overall, acupuncture effectively enhances bone and lipid metabolism in PMOP rats through hormonal regulation, metabolic modulation, and gut microbiota optimization. Key words Acupuncture " Postmenopausal osteoporosis " Bone metabolism " Lipid metabolism " Estradiol " Gut microbiota " cAMP-PKA-CREB pathway.

Additive enhancement of biodegradability and antibacterial performance in thermoplastic starch/chitosan films incorporating oregano essential oil and silver-zinc oxide nanoparticles.

Sayyar Zahra Z, Hajikhodazadeh Hadi H, Sadigh Mahsa Khadem MK, Hosseini Zahra Z

This study presents a novel thermoplastic starch-chitosan composite film, enhanced with oregano essential oil and silver-zinc oxide (Ag-ZnO: 1%) nanoparticles, designed to overcome the limitations of conventional biopolymer packaging. The synergistic combination of these additives significantly improved mechanical strength (tensile strength: 72.86 to 98.72 MPa), stiffness (Young's modulus), and reduced water uptake by up to 25% compared to unmodified controls. Rigorous biodegradation tests under UV, soil, and aqueous conditions demonstrated accelerated environmental breakdown, with up to 39.53% weight loss after one month under UV exposure. Antimicrobial assays showed inhibitory activity against the tested microorganisms, with inhibition zones of 42 mm against Staphylococcus aureus and 33 mm against Escherichia coli. These results highlight the multifunctional advantages of integrating biopolymers, essential oils, and nanometallic agents, and support a rational strategy for developing sustainable food-packaging materials with improved physical, degradative, and antimicrobial performance.
