The influence of size polydispersity on the resonant acoustic properties of dilute emulsions, made of fluorinated-oil droplets, is quantitatively investigated. Ultrasound attenuation and dispersion measurements on various samples with controlled size polydispersities, ranging from 1% to 13%, are found to be in excellent agreement with predictions based on the independent scattering approximation. By relating the particle-size distribution of the synthesized emulsions to the quality factor of the predicted multipolar resonances, the number of observable acoustic resonances is shown to be imposed by the sample polydispersity. These results are briefly discussed into the context of metamaterials for which scattering resonances are central to their effective properties.

The widespread use of plastics in the food industry raises concerns about plastic migration and health risks. The degradation of primary polymers like polystyrene (PS) and polyethylene (PE) can generate nanoplastics (NPs), increasing food biohazard. This study assessed the impact of PS, PE, and PS + PE NPs on (CV) and (HP) before and after in vitro and ex vivo digestion, focusing on particle size, polydispersity index, and surface charge.

Tumor metastasis is the main cause of death in clinical patients. The proposal of the pre-metastatic microenvironment hypothesis offers a new research direction for tumor metastasis. Targeting and inhibiting the activation of the stimulator of interferon genes(STING) signals by tumor cell-derived microparticles may help reduce tumor metastasis.

The choice of plant species is crucial, as different plants provide unique biomolecules that influence nanoparticle characteristics. Biomolecules in plant extracts, such as proteins, amino acids, enzymes, polysaccharides, alkaloids, tannins, phenolics, saponins, terpenoids, and vitamins, act as stabilizing and reducing agents. This study explores the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using leaf extracts from collard greens ( var.

Nanoparticles based on food-grade materials are promising materials to develop Pickering emulsions for food applications. Initially, this study focuses on the development of nanoparticles through the utilization of a soluble complex of whey protein concentrate (WPC) and cress seed gum (CSG), which were modified by calcium chloride (CaCl) as a cross-linker. The response surface methodology was used to investigate the impact of different concentrations of WPC (1-4% /), CSG (0-1% /), and CaCl (1-3 mM) on particle size, polydispersity index (PDI), and Zeta potential.
