This article describes the characterization and analysis of the effects an additional polymer layer has on a high-overtone bulk acoustic wave resonator based on BaSrTiO (BSTO) thin film by studying its spectral information. From both the simulation (numerical model) and experimental results of the resonator with and without coating, significant difference of both cases is evident in the spacing of the parallel resonance frequencies (SPRFs), effective coupling coefficient ( [Formula: see text]), and quality factor distribution of the resonator. The acoustic velocity of the coated material (SU-8) is calculated from the new periodicity introduced in the SPRF distribution. The SPRF distribution of the SU-8-coated resonator decreases overall as expected due to the additional layer introduced but sharply increases in regions defined by the thickness and acoustic velocity of the SU-8 layer. The mechanical loss of the added layer has significant effect on the parameters of the resonator. The study reveals that this method of characterization can be used to approximate the mechanical loss of materials such as polymers or polymer composites. The simulation with finite-element method agrees with the experimental result.

Phosphorus is considered an ideal anode material for lithium ion storage by virtue of its high theoretical capacity and moderate lithiation potential. However, issues such as large volume expansion of phosphorus leading to an electrical loss of contact and instability of the solid electrolyte interface hinder its practical performance. Improvement strategies that can effectively suppress volume expansion and provide stable electrical contacts are urgently needed.

Herein, a superhydrophobic surface was designed and fabricated based on the "lotus effect" construction mechanism. The zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-90) micro-nanoparticles were initially synthesized via a one-pot method, combined with long-chain stearic acid (STA), and subsequently embedded in polyvinyl butyral (PVB) to form a superhydrophobic surface at room temperature. The superhydrophobic surface demonstrated mechanical stability and retained its superhydrophobicity with a water contact angle (CA) greater than 150°, even at a wear distance of 400 cm.

Background: Strontium ranelate (SR) is an effective bone regeneration drug; however, its low bioavailability and strong hydrophilicity cause a strong cytotoxicity, venous thrombosis, and allergic reactions when administered in its free form. This study aims to enhance the SR bioavailability by utilizing nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) as a drug delivery system (DDS).
Methods: To improve the drug delivery efficiency and sustained release of the NLC, their surfaces were coated with chitosan oligosaccharide (COS), a natural polymer.

Porous KTi(PO) nanoparticles are synthesized via a solvothermal method and subsequently modified with nitrogen-doped carbon layers by using polydopamine as the carbon source. The resultant KTi(PO)@N-doped carbon composite (KTP@NC) exhibits a preserved porous structure with abundant pores, facilitating ion diffusion and electrolyte infiltration. Various characterizations, including X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and Raman spectroscopy, reveal the successful formation of an interconnected nitrogen-doped carbon network.

The effectiveness of orally delivered probiotics in treating gastrointestinal diseases is restricted by inadequate gut retention. In this study, we present a magnetically controlled strategy for probiotic delivery, which enables controlled accumulation and residence of probiotics in the intestine. The magnetically controlled probiotic is established by attaching amino-modified iron oxide (FeO-NH NPs) to polydopamine-coated GG (LGG@P) through electrostatic self-assembly and named as LGG@P@FeO.
