Anthocyanins exhibit colour variation over wide pH range but the colour stability is relatively low at the physiological pH. To improve the stability of anthocyanins in neutral to weakly acidic pH region, effects of metal cations and polysaccharides on the colour stability of cyanidin-3-glucoside (C3G) were examined by ultraviolet-visible and resonance Raman spectroscopies. C3G was thermally stabilized by the addition of Fe(3+) but formed aggregation. However, further addition of anionic polysaccharides enhanced the thermal stability of C3G without aggregation. Similar stabilisation was confirmed for delphinidin-3-glucoside (D3G) but not for pelargonidin-3-glucoside. The stability of anthocyanins considerably varied depending on pHs and kinds of metal cations, polysaccharides and buffer molecules. The characteristic resonance Raman bands of C3G-Fe(3+) and D3G-Fe(3+) complexes were significantly affected by the addition of alginate, (18)O/(16)O-isotope substitution, and Fe(2+)/Fe(3+)-replacement. These results suggest that alginate associates with C3G through Fe(3+) to form a stable complex, which enhances the thermal stability of C3G.

The poor structure stability and low bioavailability of lycopene (LY) hampers the wide application in food field. Thus, it is crucial to explore novel deliver carrier for LY based on protein-flavonoid complexes. In this study, the noncovalent interaction mechanism between β-lactoglobulin (β-LG) and flavonoids (apigenin (API), luteolin (LUT), myricetin (MY), apigenin-7-O-glucoside, luteolin-7-O-glucoside, and myricetrin) under ultrasound treatment was explored.

This study investigates the significance of single-walled (SWCNTs) and multi-walled (MWCNTs) carbon nanotubes with a convectional fluid (water) over a vertical cone under the influences of chemical reaction, magnetic field, thermal radiation and saturated porous media. The impact of heat sources is also examined. Based on the flow assumptions, the fundamental flow equations are modeled as partial differential equations (PDEs).

Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) is technologically relevant due to its thermal stability; chemical, mechanical and radiation resistance; transparency; biocompatibility; and ease of processing. Several of those applications are related to its high electroactivity, for which the β-phase of the polymer is its most renowned protagonist. In this context, extensive research has been conducted on the crystallization of PVDF in the β-phase, when processed from melt and from solution.

The escape of organic cations over time from defective perovskite interface leads to non-stoichiometric terminals, significantly affecting the stability of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). How to stabilize the interface composition under environmental stress remains a grand challenge. To address this issue, we utilize thiol-functionalized particles as a "seed" and conduct in situ polymerization of 2,2,3,4,4,4-hexafluorobutyl methacrylate (HFMA) as a "root" at the bottom of the perovskite layer.

Fluoropolymer alone, as an alternative to lead-based piezoelectric materials, has shown multiple challenges to develop useful sensors for solving real-world problems such as photoacoustic, ultrasound pulse echo, and other non-destructive testing. This work demonstrates the fabrication of high frequency and wide bandwidth transducers with fluoropolymer and highly polarizing cubic single crystal Barium titanate (BaTiO) ceramic composite for high resolution in-vivo photo-acoustic and ultrasound imaging. For transducer fabrication, a customized bio-compatible nanocomposite sensor film of PVDF-TrFE (Polyvinylidene fluoride trifluoroethylene)/BaTiO (BTO) is synthesized by drop and dry in heating-cum-electro-poling system for advancing polarization, crystallinity, and higher charge generation.
