Amorphous glassy CaCO3 colloidal spheres of monomodal size distribution were studied by high-resolution Brillouin light scattering. The Young modulus of 37 GPa and shear modulus of 14 GPa of glassy CaCO3 at a density of 1.9 g/cm3 were extracted from the particle vibration frequencies by employing acoustic wave scattering cross-section calculations. The line shape of the low-frequency modes is a sensitive index of the particle polydispersity.

Article Synopsis
  • Long-term hyperglycemia and inflammation in diabetes often lead to chronic wounds that do not heal, but a new hydrogel with plant polysaccharides shows promise in promoting healing.
  • This hydrogel, PL-PVA/DOP-CaCO, is engineered to release insulin in response to high glucose levels and has anti-inflammatory properties, enhancing the wound healing process.
  • In studies, this hydrogel improved healing in diabetic rats by regulating blood sugar, reducing inflammation, and boosting the growth of cells essential for wound recovery.

An ideal green leaf-deposited pesticide formulation should offer advantages such as good water dispersibility, strong foliar affinity, sustained or controlled release of active ingredients, photostability and rain-fastness, minimal nontarget toxicity, use of nontoxic organic solvents, and degradable adjuvants. In line with this objective, we present green preparation of a colloidal pesticide formulation using optimized lysine-derived carbon dots (LysCDs)-modified CaCO (LysCDs/CaCO) particles as the carrier and abamectin (Abm) as the active ingredient. The loading capacity of abamectin in this colloidal pesticide (LysCDs/CaCO/Abm) is 1.
