In this work we present a new type of scaffold obtained by solid-state reaction, simultaneous sintering of a mixture of precursor oxides, carbonates, and organic substances, the latter used for pore generation. Having variable local composition, exhibits excellent overall physicochemical and bioactivity response. Open porosity is about 50%-60% and its permeability 10 m . X-ray diffraction exhibits the presence of a sodium-calcium silicate and sodium-calcium phosphate crystalline phases. Additionally, by mechanical compression tests the range of failure stress obtained for the scaffolds was 0.3-1.1 MPa. The bioactivity and dissolution rate of the scaffolds were evaluated by in vitro tests. After 1 week soaking in simulated body fluid, the formation of a continuous hydroxyapatite layer, which does not differentiate local compositions, was observed. Our results from cell culture tests clearly indicate that during hydroxyapatite layer formation, scaffolds do not liberate any cytotoxic substances. Moreover, cells seeded in the hydroxyapatite-covered scaffolds grew better than the control.

Effective heat dissipation remains a grand challenge for energy-dense devices and systems. As heterogeneous integration becomes increasingly inevitable in electronics, thermal resistance at interfaces has emerged as a critical bottleneck for thermal management. However, existing thermal interface solutions are constrained by either high thermal resistance or poor reliability.

In recent years, researchers studying fluorogenic samples have steadily shifted from using large, expensive, poorly soluble fluorophores with complex synthetic sequences to smaller, simpler π scaffolds with low molecular weight. This research article presents an in-depth study of the photophysical properties of five bridged single-benzene-based fluorophores (SBBFs) investigated for their solution and solid-state emission (SSSE) properties. The compounds O, NO, NO, NO, and N are derived from a central terephthalonitrile core and vary in the amount of oxygen and nitrogen bridging atoms.

The isolation and crystalline structure of ,'-di-benzyl-ethyl-enedi-ammonium dichloride, CHN ·2Cl, is reported. This was obtained as an unintended product of an attempted Curtius rearrangement that involved benzyl-amine as one of the reagents and 1,2-di-chloro-ethane as the solvent. Part of a series of reactions of a course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE), this was not the intended reaction outcome.

8-Hydroxyquinoline and imidazole, two important N-heteroaromatic systems, have a strong affinity towards various anions their acidic OH or NH protons. Three receptor ligands, 5-(1-benzo[]imidazol-2-yl)quinolin-8-ol (1), 5-(benzo[]thiazol-2-yl)quinolin-8-ol (2), and 4-(1-benzo[]imidazol-2-yl)benzene-1,3-diol (3), were synthesized, and their fluoride (F) ion binding properties were investigated. These ligands could selectively bind F ions, and their respective F complexes, namely, 1-TBAF, 2-TBAF, and 3-TBAF (TBAF = tetrabutylammonium fluoride), were characterized using single crystal X-ray analysis, NMR, UV-vis, Hirshfeld surface (HS) analysis and computational studies.

The simple oxides like titania, zirconia, and ZnO are famous with their antibacterial (or even antimicrobial) properties as well as their biocompatibility. They are broadly used for air and water filtering, in food packaging, in medicine (for implants, prostheses, and scaffolds), etc. However, these application fields can be broadened by switching to the composite multicomponent compounds (for example, titanates) containing in their unit cell, together with oxygen, several different metallic ions.
