Fluorine-doped TiO 2 thin films featuring columnar structure were prepared on fluorine-doped tin oxide (SnO 2 :F) substrate using a sol–gel method. The F doping ratios were varied in the range of 0–8 %. The effect of [F]/[Ti + F] ratio on the structural, morphological, optical, photocatalytic and low-emissivity properties has been investigated in detail. X-ray diffraction studies revealed that all the composited films are mainly composed of anatase TiO 2 and rutile SnO 2 without other phases. The prepared TiO 2 :F films possessed the columnar morphology with the single layer thickness ranging from 28 to 31 nm. The best photocatalytic activity was obtained for the films with 4 % F doping ratio which is mainly attributed to the highest crystallization and crystallite size. The transmission and hemispherical emissivity of the composite films could still reach approximately 70 % and 0.20, which match the requirements of the Chinese National Standard (GB/T18915.2-2002), promoting the films for the practical applications.

This article charts the importance of Berlin in the constellation of Bowie’s success and probes what stardom means in the context of Berlin. It links what Berlin meant to Bowie with what Bowie’s connection to the city has meant to Berlin in its establishing itself as the ‘poor but sexy’ clubbing capital of Europe. In order to get at the stylistic implications of this form of stardom, I bring together Bowie’s Berlin experiences with those of two countercultural personalities the city brought him together with, who are black stars in their own right: Christiane Felscherinow and Hedi Slimane. In ascertaining that Felscherinow and Slimane share with Bowie a dark aesthetic, which is also a politics and ethics of time and space, I probe the German Romantic lineage of the concepts of constellation and elective affinity and their critical potential via the writings of Berlin-born Walter Benjamin to show that this aesthetic is characteristic of the kind of stardom that the city of Berlin is struggling to maintain in the face of gentrifying pressures. Its appeal, I conclude, lies in the potential it offers for a lifestyle counter to the hegemonic, heteronormative, nuclear-family one of bourgeois modernity.

Herein, Mg 1− x Ni x ZrTa 2 O 8 ( x = 0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.8, 1) ceramics are synthesized using a solid-phase reaction method. Ni 2+ replacing Mg 2+ improves the drawback of high sintering temperature and poor temperature stability. The samples have a relative density above 95% at the optimal sintering temperature. The sintering temperature of Mg 1− x Ni x ZrTa 2 O 8 reduces from 1475 to 1400 °C. And single-phase Mg 1− x Ni x ZrTa 2 O 8 ceramics with monoclinic wolframite structures are analyzed. According to the Rietveld refinement results, with the doping of Ni 2+ , the transformation of unit cell volume leads to the shift of the main peak in the X-Ray diffraction pattern to a higher angle in 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.3 and a lower angle in 0.5 ≤ x ≤ 1. The ε r of Mg 1− x Ni x ZrTa 2 O 8 is comparable to MgZrTa 2 O 8 . At 1400 °C, the Q × f is increased from 10 598 GHz in the undoped sample to 43 041 GHz in Mg 0.9 Ni 0.1 ZrTa 2 O 8 ceramic. The absolute values of τ f of ceramic samples decrease with the excessive Ni 2+ . The desirable dielectric properties ( ε r = 20.79, Q × f = 43 041 GHz, τ f = −33.04 ppm °C −1 ) are obtained at 1400 °C. Ni substitution is effective for MgZrTa 2 O 8 ceramic to optimize densification temperature and retain the high Q × f value.

Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are environmentally persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic pollutants. However, thorough degradation of PFAS remains exceptionally difficult due to the high dissociation energy of the C-F bond. Here, we report a viable strategy to markedly degrade PFAS completely by capitalizing on a harmless polytetrafluoroetylene (PTFE) as a piezocatalyst. Remarkably, perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), as one of the widely used PFAS, was almost completely removed with a degradation rate of 93.4 % and a defluorination rate of 91.5 % by the ultrasound excitation of PTFE for 1 h. On the basis of the intermediate analysis, we proposed an oxidation mechanism for the piezocatalytic PFOA degradation. Furthermore, this strategy was also efficient for the degradation of perfluoroheptanoic acid (PFNA), perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and hexafluoropropylene oxide dimer acid (Gen-X), implying its effectiveness to remediate water containing multiple PFAS. Impressively, due to the diverse energy gap between HOMO and LUMO energy of various PFAS, the degradation reaction kinetics of different PFAS are of significant difference. This study provides the deep insight into the piezocatalytic technique for the remediation of persistent and disparate PFAS.

The development of ultrafast scintillators is critical to the GHz X-ray and time-of-flight (TOF) imaging techniques. Low-dimensional silver-based halides have emerged as promising candidates due to high radioluminescence efficiency and ultrafast decay time. However, the ultrafast scintillation mechanism in silver-based halides, such as Rb 2 AgBr 3 (RAB), remains controversial. Here, the study reveals the origin of ultrafast scintillation timing response in melt-grown RAB bulk crystals. The RAB shows light-yellow emission with a photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of 13.9%. Under the picosecond (ps) pulse X-ray irradiation, RAB has an ultrafast decay time of 3.2 ns that accounts for 40.5% of the total emitted light. The light yield is estimated as 3100 photons MeV −1 under 22 Na irradiation. Based on the temperature-dependent radioluminescence (RL) spectroscopy, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, and spectrally resolved thermally-stimulated luminescence (TSL) glow curves, it is confirmed that the bromine vacancy as the F-center is the origin of the ultrafast scintillation component. These findings provide elaborated and fundamental insights into the ultrafast luminescent mechanisms of low-dimensional silver-based halides, thereby opening up new design horizons in the development of ultrafast scintillators.

Background Impaired wound healing in traumatic skin injuries remains a severe clinical challenge due to impaired re-vascularization, harmful bacteria infection, and inflammation dysregulation. Macrophages are recognized as prominent immune cells in tissue regeneration and wound healing. Consequently, the modulation of macrophages provides a promising therapeutic target for wound healing disorders. Here, we aimed to explore whether a novel constructed combination of thermosensitive hydrogel Pluronic F-127 (PF-127) and phillyrin (PH, the main active compound of forsythia suspensa) could improve skin wound healing. Methods Firstly, the biological effects of pH on the phenotype and inflammation of macrophages were assessed by flow cytometry and ELISA. The biocompatibility of the PF-127 plus PH combination was investigated on keratinocytes and red blood cells. The biological effect of PF-127/PH hydrogel on the migratory ability of keratinocytes in vitro was evaluated using the scratch and transwell migration assays. In addition, S. aureus and E. coli were employed to test the antibacterial properties of the PF-127 plus PH combination. Finally, PF-127 plus PH scaffold was applied to the full-thickness skin defect in mice. Histomorphological evaluation and immunochemistry were performed to explore the wound-healing activity of PF-127/PH hydrogel. Results PH can promote the polarization of macrophages from the M1 (pro-inflammatory) phenotype to the M2 (anti-inflammatory) phenotype. The PF-127/PH hydrogel was highly biocompatible and showed a potent stimulative effect on the migration of keratinocytes in vitro. The combination of PF-127 and PH exerted a pronounced antibacterial activity on S. aureus and E. coli in vitro. PF-127/PH hydrogel potently accelerates the healing of full-thickness skin defects by promoting skin cell proliferation, accelerating angiogenesis, and inhibiting inflammation. Conclusions Our study suggests that PF-127/PH hydrogel has excellent potential for treating traumatic skin defects.

This study presents a preliminary investigation of porous nickel-titanium (NiTi) materials with controllable porosity fabricated through metal injection molding combined with the powder space-holder method (MIM-PSH). The thermosensitive hydrogel Pluronic F-127 was utilized as a drug carrier to load the anti-proliferative drug rapamycin, resulting in porous NiTi-hydrogel composite materials for controlled drug release. By tuning the NiTi matrix porosity (0%, 20%, and 40%), the system achieved precise modulation of drug loading capacity and release kinetics. Notably, the 40% porous NiTi composite exhibited a threefold increase in the drug-loading capacity and sustained release over 17 days. This hybrid design leveraged the thermoresponsive properties of the hydrogel and the tailored pore architecture to enable spatiotemporal control of rapamycin delivery, effectively inhibiting human aortic smooth muscle cell proliferation and mitigating in vivo vascular tissue hyperplasia. This study provides a foundational framework for the development of multifunctional biomaterial systems for vascular therapy.

In this paper, the traditional solid-phase reaction sintering process was used to synthesize Ca 1-x Mg x V 2 O 6 (x = 0.03, 0.06, 0.09, 0.12) ceramics under low-temperature conditions. The effects of partial replacement of Ca 2+ by Mg 2+ on the A-site on the crystalline type, sintering temperature, microstructure, densification, and microwave dielectric performances of Ca 1-x Mg x V 2 O 6 ceramic were studied. The only crystalline phase of CaV 2 O 6 was observed in the ceramics. The sintering densification and dielectric performances of the Ca 1-x Mg x V 2 O 6 ceramic show a trend of first increasing and then decreasing with the increase of Mg 2+ content. The addition of Mg ions can effectively increase the Q × f value of the Ca 1-x Mg x V 2 O 6 ceramics but cannot improve the τ f value. The Ca 0.91 Mg 0.09 V 2 O 6 ceramic sintered at 725°C displayed good microwave dielectric performances: ε r = 10.41, Q × f = 68524 GHz, and τ f = − 36.8 ppm/°C. The good dielectric properties of this ceramic can meet the development needs of 5G communication technologies.

Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), characterized by chronic inflammation of the digestive tract, involves angiogenesis as a key pathogenic mechanism. Ginsenoside Rg3, derived from the traditional Chinese herb ginseng, is recognized for its anti-angiogenic properties but is limited by low oral bioavailability. This necessitates the development of an alternative delivery system to improve its therapeutic effectiveness.Methods: Pluronic F-127 (F127) and Pluronic F-68 (F68) were used to construct Rg3-loaded thermosensitive hydrogel Gel-Rg3. Meanwhile, a series of physicochemical properties were determined. Then the safety and pharmacological activity of Gel-Rg3 were evaluated in vitro and in vivo using human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and colitis mouse model, in order to initially validate the potential of Gel-Rg3 for the treatment of IBD.Results: We engineered a rectally administrable, thermosensitive Gel-Rg3 hydrogel using F127 and F68, which forms at body temperature, enhancing Rg3’s intestinal retention and slowly releasing the drug. In vitro, Gel-Rg3 demonstrated superior anti-angiogenic activity by inhibiting HUVEC proliferation, migration, and tube formation. It also proved safer and better suited for IBD’s delicate intestinal environment than unformulated Rg3. In vivo assessments confirmed increased intestinal adhesion and anti-angiogenic efficacy.Conclusions: The Gel-Rg3 hydrogel shows promise for IBD therapy by effectively inhibiting angiogenesis via rectal delivery, overcoming Rg3’s bioavailability limitations with improved safety and efficacy. This study provides new inspiration and data support for the design of treatment strategies for IBD.

A series of fluorine-containing water-based polyurethane (FWPU) were synthesized by using fluoro alcohol-terminated isocyanate trimer (F-HDIT) prepared from 3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,8-tridecafluoro-1-octanol (TFO) and hexamethylene diisocyanate trimer (HDIT). The structure of F-HDIT and the wetting and spreading ability, hydrophobic and solvent-resistance properties of FWPU were investigated in detail. The results indicated that with the increase of F-HDIT, the latex particle size, the water/solvent resistance and elongation at break of FWPU increased. More interestingly, the wetting and spreading ability on non-polar substrates was enhanced with the introduction of F-HDIT and the surface tension of FWPU film/latex was decreased by 69.5%/17.3%. Meanwhile, the water/methylene iodide contact angles were increased from 54.0°/34.1° to 121.8°/90.7° respectively, showing good hydrophobic and solvent-repellence characteristics.

Objective:F. nucleatum, a tumor-resident bacterium colonizing breast cancer (BC), results in an immunosuppressive microenvironment and facilitates tumor growth and metastasis. This study aimed to develop a neutrophil-based liposome delivery system designed for dual-targeted elimination of tumor cells andF. nucleatum, while simultaneously upregulating pathogen-associated molecular patterns and damage-associated molecular patterns to potentiate tumor immunotherapy.Methods: The liposomes (PD/GA-LPs) loaded with the perylene diimide complex (PD) and gambogic acid (GA) were fabricated via the extrusion method. Subsequently, comprehensive evaluations including physicochemical characteristics, antibacterial activity, antitumor effect, and immunomodulatory effect evaluation were systematically conducted to validate the feasibility of this delivery system.Results: The resulting PD/GA-LPs exhibited a dynamic size (121.3 nm, zeta potential −44.1 mV) and a high encapsulation efficiency of approximately 78.1% (PD) and 91.8% (GA). In addition, the optimized PD/GA-LPs exhibited excellent photothermal performance and antibacterial efficacy. In vitro cellular experiments revealed that PD/GA-LPs exhibited enhanced internalization by neutrophils, followed by extracellular trap-mediated release, ultimately significantly inhibiting tumor cell proliferation and inducing immunogenic cell death. During in vivo treatment, PD/GA-LPs exhibited targeted tumor accumulation, whereF. nucleatum-driven PD reduction activated near-infrared-responsive photothermal ablation. When combined with GA, this delivery system effectively eliminated tumor cells andF. nucleatum, while facilitating the subsequent T-cell infiltration.Conclusions: This strategy amplified the antitumor immune response, thus leading to effective treatment of BC and prevention of metastasis. In summary, this approach, grounded in the distinct microecology of tumor and normal tissues, offers novel insights into the development of precise and potent immunotherapies for BC.

A novel Ba 3 (ZnB 5 O 10 )PO 4 (BZBPO) phosphate ceramic was synthesised using a conventional solid-state technology. The BZBPO ceramic sintered at 850 °C demonstrated exceptional microwave dielectric properties : ε r = 5.88 ± 0.08, Q×f = 52,896 ± 1200 GHz ( f 0 = 16.5 GHz) and τ f = 0.34 ± 0.25 ppm/°C. Raman spectroscopy revealed that ε r and Q×f were negatively correlated with the Raman shift and full width at half maximum of the BZBPO ceramic, respectively. Meanwhile, Phillips–Vechten–Levine theory revealed that Q×f was highly correlated with the lattice energy ( U b ), and τ f was closely related to the bond energy ( E b ) and the thermal expansion coefficient. Among contribution ratios of individual chemical bonds, the B–O bond mainly contributed to U b , E b and ionicity, proving that the bond dominantly affected the dielectric properties of the BZBPO ceramic. Finally, the BZBPO ceramic was co-fired with silver, demonstrating its potential applicability towards low temperature co-fired ceramic technology.
