Hypothesis: A new simplified procedure for encapsulation of antibacterial silver nanoparticles by Solid-state Ion Exchange (SSIE) procedure over zeolite Y, followed by deposition of sulfadiazine (SD) by dry mixing was examined for the preparation of topical antibacterial formulations. The ion-exchange and adsorptive properties of the zeolite matrix were utilized for the bactericidal Ag deposition and loading of antibiotic sulfadiazine.
Experiments: Assessment of the encapsulation efficiency of both active components loaded by solid and liquid deposition methods was made by X-ray diffraction, TEM, FT-IR spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). SD release kinetics was also determined.
Findings: Sustained delivery of sulfadiazine has been observed from the Ag-modified zeolites compared to the parent HY material. It was found that if SD was loaded in solution, part of the zeolite silver ions was released and interacted with SD, forming AgSD. By solid-state SD deposition, the reaction between the drug and the silver was restricted within the limits of inter-atomic interaction, and total but prolonged drug release occurred.

Smart fibers with tunable luminescence properties, as a new form of visual output, present the potential to revolutionize personal living habits in the future and are receiving more and more attention. However, a huge challenge of smart fibers as wearable materials is their stretching capability for seamless integration with the human body. Herein, stretchable thermochromic fluorescent fibers are prepared based on self-crystallinity phase change, using elastic polyurethane (PU) as the fiber matrix, to meet the dynamic requirements of the human body.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nanoparticles encapsulated with a lipid bilayer, and they constitute an excellent source of biomarkers for multiple diseases. However, the heterogeneity in their molecular compositions constitutes a major challenge for their recognition and profiling, thereby limiting their application as an effective biomarker. A single-EV analysis technique is crucial to both the discovery and the detection of EV subpopulations that carry disease-specific signatures.

Article Synopsis
- Nickel pyrovanadate (NVO) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) are synthesized together using a solvothermal method, resulting in a crystalline NVO structure and amorphous rGO within the nanocomposite.
- The formation of a hollow nanosphere shape for NVO is observed, which improves surface area and electrochemical stability due to the rGO incorporation.
- The NVO@rGO 20 composite achieves a specific capacitance of 3807 F/g and retains about 70% of its capacitance after 10,000 cycles, making it a promising candidate for high-performance energy storage devices.

Exploiting solid powder fluorescence holds significant potential in diverse domains including medicine and forensics. Conventional fingerprint detection methods often fall short due to low contrast, sensitivity, and high toxicity. To addressing these challenges, we present a novel method for latent fingerprint detection using fluorescent carbon dots (CDs) encapsulated into conventional or mesoporous SiO colloidal spheres (CD@SiO or CDs@m-SiO) through a surface functionalization-assisted cooperative assembly process.

The need to optimize size, weight, and power of high-power microwave (HPM) systems has motivated the development of solid-state HPM sources, such as nonlinear transmission lines (NLTLs), which utilize gyromagnetic precession or dispersion to generate RF. One recent development implemented the NLTL as a pulse forming line (PFL) to form a nonlinear pulse forming line (NPFL) system that substantially reduced the system's size by eliminating the need for a separate PFL; however, matching standard loads can be challenging. This paper describes the development of a tapered NPFL using an exponentially tapered composite based ferrite core containing 60% nickel zinc ferrite (by volume) encased in polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and encapsulated in a 5% barium strontium titanate shell.
