Article Abstract
The surface tension of molten Sn-Bi (mole fraction X(Bi) = 0.455) alloy has been determined by the sessile drop method at oxygen partial pressure (P(O2)) of 1.0x10(-6) MPa and different temperatures. The experimental results have been analyzed and discussed, and the positive temperature coefficient of surface tension of molten Sn-Bi alloy has been elucidated. The surface tension of this molten alloy has also been obtained by calculation using STCBE based on Butler's equation and thermodynamic data. The experimental results agree well with the calculation values.

Interaction of a novel dihydroxy dibenzoazacrown (HDTC) with various surfactants of different charges, for example, anionic (sodium dodecylsulfate, SDS), cationic (dodecyl trimethylammonium bromide, DTAB), cationic gemini (butanediyl-1,4-bis(dimethylcetylammonium bromide), 16-4-16), ionic liquid (1-hexadecyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride, CMImCl), and nonionic (polyoxyethylene sorbitan monostearate, Tween-60), has been investigated at a widespread range of surfactant concentrations (including premicellar, micellar, and postmicellar regime) in 15% (v/v) EtOH medium at room temperature. Several experimental techniques, viz., tensiometry, UV-vis spectroscopy, and steady-state fluorimetry, are implemented to explicate these interactions.

Water striders inhabit the elastic surface tension film of water, sharing their environment with other aquatic organisms. Their survival relies heavily on swift maneuverability and navigation around floating obstacles, which aids in the exploration of their habitat and in escaping from potential threats. Their high agility is strongly based on the ability to execute precise turns, enabling effective directional control.

Despite the worldwide prevalence of Parkinson's disease (PD), there are currently no effective methods for treating or preventing α-synucleinopathy. Research has demonstrated that small molecules are capable of preventing α-synuclein aggregation and the associated neurotoxicity. Nonetheless, the specific anti-amyloid mechanism of these compounds is not thoroughly comprehended in detail.

The effective prevention and treatment of anastomotic leakage after intestinal anastomosis for colorectal diseases is still a major clinical challenge. In order to assist intestinal anastomosis healing and avoid anastomotic leakage caused by high tension, low blood supply or infection, we designed a double-layer nanofiber intestinal anastomosis scaffold, which was composed of electrospun PTMC/PHA nanofibers as the main layer, and electrospun PVA/OHA-Gs nanofibers with antibacterial properties as the antibacterial surface layer. This double-layer scaffold has good toughness, its maximum tensile force value could reach 8 N, elongation could reach 400 %, and it has hydrophilic properties, and its contact angle was about 60°.
