The rheological behavior of two-dimensional (2D) MoS-based ethylene glycol (EG) nanofluids (NFs) was investigated at low volume concentrations (0.005%, 0.0075%, and 0.01%) in a wide temperature range of 0-70 °C and at atmospheric pressure. A conventional two-step method was followed to prepare NFs at desired volume concentrations. Based on the control rotational (0.1-1000 s shear rate) and oscillation (0.01-1000% strain) methods, the viscoelastic flow curves and thixotropic (3ITT (three interval thixotropic) and hysteresis loop) characteristics of NFs were examined. Shear flow behavior revealed a remarkable reduction (1.3~14.7%) in apparent dynamic viscosity, which showed concentration and temperature dependency. Such remarkable viscosity results were assigned to the change in activation energy of the ethylene glycol with the addition of MoS. However, the nanofluids exhibited Newtonian behavior at all temperatures for concentrations below 0.01% between 10 and 1000 s. On the other hand, strain sweep (@1Hz) indicated the viscoelastic nature of NFs with yielding, which varied with concentration and temperature. Besides, 3ITT and hysteresis loop analysis was evident of non-thixotropic behavior of NFs. Among all tested concentrations, 0.005% outperformed at almost all targeted temperatures. At the same time, ~11% improvement in thermal conductivity can be considered advantageous on top of the improved rheological properties. In addition, viscosity enhancement and reduction mechanisms were also discussed.

The correct choice of a stone aggregate for railway ballast is directly related to the stability, safety, efficiency, and maintenance costs of the track. The aggregate must meet several criteria to ensure it is the most appropriate material. Thus, the present study aimed to evaluate four distinct stones: two granites, a diabase, and a basalt, all mined in the eastern region of the state of São Paulo, Brazil, regarding their applicability as ballast.

Exploiting the unique physiological and biochemical characteristics of the tumor microenvironment, the development of a polypeptide nanogel capable of responding to these specific properties holds great promise as an effective antitumor strategy. In this study, we synthesized a glutathione-responsive (GSH-responsive) methylated poly (ethylene glycol)-poly (phenylalanine)-poly (cystine) block copolymer (mPPC) through one-step ring-opening polymerization. Shikonin (SHK) was encapsulated within nanogel, designated as mPPC/SHK.

Dermal fillers comprising injectable hyaluronic acid (HA) are widely used for soft tissue augmentation, often using crosslinking agents such as 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether (BDDE) or poly (ethylene glycol) diglycidyl ether (PEGDE). Here, we assessed the physical properties, toxicity, and inflammatory reactions of HA fillers crosslinked with either BDDE (HA-BDDE filler) or PEGDE (HA-PEGDE filler) in in vitro and in vivo investigations. The HA-PEGDE filler exhibited higher G', tan δ, G*, and complex viscosity values compared to the HA-BDDE filler, while maintaining similar cohesivity.

Inducing a transient state of hypocalcemia prepartum mobilizes stored calcium (Ca) before the abrupt demand for Ca at parturition thus more tightly regulating postpartum hypocalcemia. Prepartum transient hypocalcemia can be achieved through intravenous infusions of either the precursor to serotonin, 5-hydroxy-tryptophan (5HTP) or a Ca chelating agent, ethylene-glycol-tetraacetic acid (EGTA). This study aimed to compare the ability of 5HTP and EGTA treatments to prevent postpartum hypocalcemia.

Nanobodies play an increasingly prominent role in cancer imaging and therapy. However, their efficacy is often constrained by inadequate tumor penetration and rapid clearance from the bloodstream, particularly in brain tumors due to the intractable blood-brain barrier (BBB). Glycosylation is a favorable strategy for modulating the biological functions of nanobodies, including permeability and pharmacokinetics, but it also leads to heterogeneous glycan structures, which affect the targeting ability, stability, and quality of nanobodies.
