The exceptional biocidal performance of the Ag/g-C3N4 composite photocatalyst against Escherichia coli 1337-H is underpinned by a synergistic mechanism rooted in interfacial charge dynamics, as revealed by comprehensive metabolomic profiling.…
Thermoresponsive polymers that exhibit both lower critical solution temperature (LCST) and upper critical solution temperature (UCST) behavior—collectively known as “schizophrenic” polymers—represent a cutting-edge class of smart materials with unique phase-transition…
Marine biofouling continues to impose significant economic and environmental burdens on maritime operations, driving the need for advanced antifouling technologies that combine durability, sustainability, and multifunctionality. Traditional coatings often rely…
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has gained increasing attention as a minimally invasive approach for cancer treatment, leveraging light-activated photosensitizers (PSs) to generate cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, clinical translation remains…
Cross-linked supercrystalline nanocomposites exhibit remarkable mechanical stability due to the formation of a covalently bonded organic interphase that reinforces the nanoparticle network. This study elucidates the structural evolution and failure…
Prostate cancer is the most frequently diagnosed malignancy in men globally, with prognosis and treatment decisions heavily reliant on histological assessment of glandular architecture. The Gleason scoring system, which evaluates…
The ability of metal complexes to undergo reversible structural changes in response to environmental stimuli has emerged as a powerful strategy for designing smart functional materials. In this work, we…
The hydrodynamic behavior of polyelectrolyte-grafted nanoparticle (PENP) dispersions is critically determined by the interplay between graft length, degree of ionization, and solvent conditions. Molecular dynamics simulations reveal that these parameters…
