The impact of pulsed electric field (PEF) on the formation of acrylamide (AA) in air-fired French fries was investigated in this study. The results indicated that electric field intensity, pulse width, and cooking parameters significantly influence the formation of acrylamide in air-fried French fries. Compared with the traditional blanching treatment, PEF treatment more effectively inhibits AA formation and improves the cooking quality of French fries. Under optimal conditions, the AA content in the PEF-treated samples was reduced by 15.60% and 26.71% compared with that in the blanched and untreated groups, respectively. The significant suppression of AA formation may be closely associated with the ability of PEF to modify the microstructure of potato tissues and promote the leaching of AA precursors. PEF treatment did not induce significant gelatinization of potato starch. Instead, it caused electroporation of potato cells through polarization effects. This structural change enhanced heat and mass transfer efficiency during cooking, reduced processing time, and facilitated the continuous removal of key AA precursors, such as reducing sugars and asparagine. These structural and process modifications collectively suppress the Maillard reaction, thereby reducing AA generation. Furthermore, as a pretreatment method, PEF exhibits superior processing efficiency and lower energy consumption compared to blanching. In conclusion, PEF treatment can significantly decrease AA levels in air-fried French fries, showing great potential for producing healthier air-fried foods.

This article reports the preparation of a multi-layer core-shell flame retardant (APP@SiO 2 @MA) using melamine (MA), ethyl silicate (TEOS), and γ-(2,3-epoxypropoxy) propyltrimethoxysilane (KH-560) as raw materials, coated with ammonium polyphosphate (APP). Apply the flame retardant to PPO/PS composite materials to improve their flame retardant properties and investigate its effect on the foaming performance of PPO/PS composite materials. This article confirms the successful microencapsulation of APP by SiO 2 and MA through energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observation. The combustion performance of P samples and their foam samples was evaluated through thermogravimetric analysis (TG), limit oxygen index (LOI), and UL-94 vertical combustion test, the residual carbon quality significantly increased from 17% of PPO/PS to 38%, and the maximum oxygen index increased from 22.9% to 30.5%. At 165°C and 3.5 MPa foaming conditions, the foaming ratio increased from 1.18 to 4.56 times, and the maximum oxygen index after foaming was 27.9%. This study provides a green and convenient method for the preparation of flame-retardant PPO/PS bead foam materials, expanding the practical application of PPO/PS in industry.

Catimor coffee, an economically significant cultivar known for its disease resistance and high yield potential. By integrating headspace solid-phase microextraction gas chromatography time-of-flight mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-TOF-MS) with relative odour activity value (ROAV) analysis, we systematically characterised the aroma compounds from four Yunnan and two Laotian production regions. A total of 183 dry aroma and 172 wet aroma compounds were identified, with ROAV analysis revealing significant geographical variations in both aroma profiles. Key odorants responsible for regional differentiation were identified and quantified. In dry aroma, ethyl isovalerate was established as the characteristic marker for fruity aroma in BS-1 samples, while LC-2 samples displayed a predominantly acidic profile. Wet aroma analysis showed PE-3 samples with strong floral, nutty and roasted characteristics, contrasted by Laos-6 samples exhibiting pronounced fruity, acidic and roasted notes. Critical odour-active compounds including furfuryl acetate (fruity), acetic acid (sour), along with 2-acetylpyrrole, difurfuryl ether and furfuryl alcohol (roasted) were quantitatively confirmed as major contributors to specific flavour attributes. The research establishes a comprehensive volatile compound database for Catimor coffee and elucidates the chemical foundation of regional aroma differences, providing scientific support for geographical origin authentication and quality enhancement in coffee production.

Fixation of CO 2 through photocatalytic cycloaddition with epoxides to synthesize cyclic carbonates is an important but challenging process. In this work, carbon dots (CDs) synthesized from gallic acid and polyethylenimine are used for the efficient catalytic cycloaddition of CO 2 with epoxides in the absence of any solvent, additives, and halides, and importantly upon irradiation by natural sunlight. Specifically, carbon dots generated thermal energy and electrons upon solar irradiation, which together with their surface N-sites activated the inert CO 2 . Meanwhile, epoxides were activated by the surface hydroxyl and carboxylic groups of the carbon dots, which reacted with activated CO 2 at solar thermal-induced high temperatures. The CDs shows excellent stability and recyclability during the catalysis. A 1000 mmol scale reaction for cyclic carbonate synthesis performed well upon irradiation with natural sunlight in the presence of CDs, showing great potential for the industrial application due to the simple, mild, and energy-saving process.

Developing air purification systems with stability and reusability under harsh conditions remains a significant challenge. In this study, we designed a polyimide (PI) molecular structure and incorporated MXene nanosheets rich in active surface groups (–O, –OH, and –F) into the PI matrix using moisture-assisted electrospinning technology. This approach successfully constructed a biomimetic, wavy, and fluffy fiber structure. The results demonstrated that the MXene-modified PI fiber membrane exhibited outstanding superhydrophobicity (water contact angle of 151.74°), alongside superior mechanical properties (tensile strength of > 9 MPa), and thermal stability (decomposition temperature of > 500°C). The gradient pore size distribution effectively retained and captured PM while reducing air flow resistance. The fabricated filter achieved a removal efficiency of 99.99% for PM 2.5 with a low pressure drop (29.13 Pa), far lower than the 120.60 Pa pressure drop of PI OPA filters. Furthermore, the filter maintained stable filtration efficiency after five washing cycles, demonstrating excellent reusability.

Electrolyte additive engineering offers a promising pathway for achieving dendrite-free aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) while facing challenges related to hydrophilic characteristics and/or high loading requirements. Herein, we developed a cost-effective and scalable facile immersion treatment to deposit a hydrophobic 1,3-Di(o-tolyl)thiourea (DTH) layer with nanoscale thickness (≤ 14 nm). This approach yields an ultra-low DTH loading (5.37 × 10 −13 M) and exceptional cost efficiency (1.43 × 10 −7 USD Ah −1 ), surpassing conventional water-miscible organic additives and biomass-derived counterparts by orders of magnitude. The hydrophobic DTH layer optimizes Zn electrochemistry and mitigates parasitic reactions, irrespective of the immersion sequence in the same batch of ethanol solution. Consequently, the Zn||ODASnI 4 (ODA denotes 1,8-octadiamine) coin cell demonstrated stable operation over 2500 cycles at 2 A g −1 with a low additive cost of 1.43 × 10 −6 USD per cell. The pouch cell showed an average coulombic efficiency (CE) of 99.9% and 72% capacity retention after 1200 cycles, incurring an ultra-low additive cost of 7.02× 10 −5 USD while delivering a high energy density of 143 Wh kg −1 (based on cathode mass). This work enabled durable and high-performance ZIBs at minimal cost, providing a foundation for further exploration of low-cost, scalable strategies in aqueous battery systems. Graphical A nanoscale hydrophobic 1,3-Di(o-tolyl)thiourea (DTH) layer (<14 nm) was deposited on zinc anodes for durable aqueous Zn-ion batteries, costing merely 1.43×10 −7 USD·Ah −1 . By suppressing side reactions and dendrites, it achieved 2500-cycle coin cells and a 143 Wh·kg −1 pouch cell (1200 cycles) with a record-low additive cost (7.02×10 −7 USD).

Inspired by the hair structure of desert animals, the structure-engineered aerogel fiber (SAF) has effectively prepared through the utilization of the double-diffusion process in wet spinning. The SAF fabric exhibit high emissivity (96.1%) within the atmospheric window and high reflectivity (92.3%) within the solar spectrum, thereby effectively mitigating the impact of solar radiation on human thermal balance. Additionally, the fibers exhibit an internal porosity of ∼93.9%, which functions to reduce the penetration of external heat and facilitates the instantaneous absorption (over 80% of self-weight) and evaporation (∼5.7 g h −1 ) of sweat through capillary effect, thereby further enhancing the dissipation of heat from human body. The continuous and scalable technical routes also endow SAFs with outstanding mechanical strength, water resistance, and breathability. Practical application tests demonstrate that the temperature of SAF fabric is ∼10.6°C lower than the commercialized cotton fabric under direct sunlight (solar irradiation: ∼1511 W m −2 ) and ∼12.0°C under the simultaneous action of direct sunlight (solar irradiation: ∼1091 W m −2 ) and simulated sweat infiltration. These results underscore the cost-effectiveness and high performance of SAF fabric, which offers substantial solutions and broad application prospects for multifunctional textiles and evaporative and radiative synergistic cooling applications.

While conventional large bone defect healing is a complicated process with multiple physiological limitations, our approach leverages hematoma's innate regenerative capabilities-particularly its structure and biological functions, inculding multi-functional regulation response, activating cell autophagy, resisting persistent inflammation and enhancing angiogenesis/osteogenesis eventually, which supports a new strategy to bone repair solutions. This biomimetic strategy is more compatible with the process of bone regeneration, thereby shifting the implant paradigm from passive structural support to active biological regulation. Inspired by the balloon structure, we developed microfluidic biomimetic hematoma microspheres featuring: pH-responsive GelMA outer layer and NaHS-loaded liposomal core. This dual-component system spatiotemporally releases H 2 S in acidic bone defects, simultaneously decreasing chronic inflammation, promoting angiogenesis, activating autophagy and osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSC). This biomimetic strategy recapitulates key hematoma-mediated osteogenic processes, where controlled H 2 S release orchestrates the interplay of angiogenesis, inflammation resolution, cell autophagy and osteogenesis.

Transition metal chalcogenides have been considered as one kind of the most potential candidate catalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER). However, the inevitable sulfur loss during reconstruction process destructs the chemical and electronic structure of catalysts. Herein, we proposed directional metal element migration to fix sulfur on near-surface region, and evaluated the effect of lattice oxygen compensation on the stability of surface sulfur. Besides, an ‘etching-compensation factor’ of lattice oxygen is defined as a descriptor on the OER stability with coupled O─O as the key intermediates. It is found that the migration of Fe and S in opposite directions enables high voltage-dependent reversibility of Ni─O─Fe units during OER for self-healing of electrode. The further produced full gradient NiFe-sulfide electrode can stably work for more than 50 000 CV cycles at the scan rate of 50 mV s −1 , and 800 h of chronopotentiometric at current density of 100 mA cm −2 .

The widespread use of petrochemical plastics has made environmental problems and health risks increasingly prominent. While bioplastics hold promise as alternatives, their limited heat resistance and shaping capabilities hinder widespread adoption in high-performance engineering. Here, we present an innovative supramolecular network that utilizes cellulose as a molecular framework, complemented by acrylamide molecules for in situ polymerization. By applying ethanol for structural reconstruction, we create a self-reinforcing bioplastic (S-bioplastic) with a tensile strength of 76 MPa and a flexural modulus of 4.7 GPa. This S-bioplastic supports multiple molding techniques—such as injection and compression molding—and exhibits remarkable environmental adaptability, with thermal stability up to 180°C and low-temperature resilience to −196°C. Compared to conventional plastics, S-bioplastic offers enhanced mechanical properties, biocompatibility, biodegradability, and recyclability, achieving a 95% retention of strength. A techno-economic analysis underscores its value proposition. This research highlights a method for converting bamboo-based materials into high-value bioplastics, providing a promising strategy to address plastic pollution while developing lightweight, high-performance materials for aerospace applications.

Polypropylene (PP) mesh implanting has emerged as a breast reconstruction approach to restore normal anatomical contours. However, developing biomedical PP mesh with enhanced anti-inflammatory properties, superior mechanical strength, and efficient manufacturing remains a significant challenge. In this study, we report a drug-loading PP mesh by incorporating triclosan into femtosecond (fs) laser-treated PP mesh scaffolds. The fs laser induced micro/nano structures significantly enhanced the drug-loading capacity and antibacterial efficacy of triclosan-modified PP mesh, as indicated by the area of inhibition rings (2.5-fold relative to the blank groups). In vivo breast reconstruction experiments using female Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats demonstrate accelerated scab formation and wound healing. Additionally, the Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) test reveals high vascular density (11.43 µg/mL of CD31 and 0.32 µg/mL of CD163) and reduced proinflammatory cytokine levels (145 pg/mL of IL-6 and 33 pg/mL of TNF-a), further confirming the anti-inflammatory properties of the fs laser-treated triclosan-modified PP mesh. This study presents a novel approach to improving the clinical performance of PP meshes for biomedical applications.

The management of Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome is severely hampered by the inability of existing therapies to achieve conformal fitting and sustained drug release within the dynamic, moist vaginal environment. Herein, we report a novel Janus-structured microneedle (MN) system engineered from a poly(vinyl alcohol)/silk fibroin (PVA/SF) hybrid that overcomes these critical limitations through intelligent, hydration-triggered shape adaptation. A facile one-pot process induces spontaneous spatial segregation, forming an asymmetric bilayer architecture with a PVA-rich upper layer and an SF-enriched lower layer. This unique structure enables the device to be pre-programmed into a compact coil for minimally invasive insertion, which subsequently unfurls upon vaginal moisture exposure to achieve conformal contact with irregular wound surfaces. Crucially, we decipher the shape memory mechanism through 2D correlation spectroscopy and molecular dynamics simulations. These analyses reveal a sequential disruption of hydrogen bonds, while hydrophobic interactions from SF β-sheets provide exceptional mechanical stability in the hydrated state. In a rat model of severe vaginal injury, the arbutin-loaded MN (ARMN) scaffold orchestrates a holistic healing process—effectively scavenging ROS, suppressing IL-6-mediated inflammation, promoting VEGF-driven angiogenesis and PCNA-enhanced proliferation, and mitigating surgery-induced dysbiosis. This work establishes a pioneering paradigm of stimuli-responsive, self-adapting medical devices for transformative therapy in complex mucosal tissue regeneration.
