To explore the contribution of secondary bonds on storage stability of RSC, urea, n-propanol and sodium nitrite (NaNO) were used for the breakdown of hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic bonds, side-chain groups, respectively. The impact of the breakdown of secondary bonds before and after storage on texture properties and microstructure were investigated. The breakdown of hydrogen bonds, especially before storage, significantly reduced the hardness (from 3.12 to 2.21 N), chewiness (from 1.82 to 1.05 mJ), and springiness (from 2.57 to 1.57 mJ) of RSC, while the breakdown of hydrophobic bonds and side-chain groups had a slight effect. Similarly, degradation of collagen fibers by breaking hydrogen bonds before storage was more serious than other groups. Furthermore, moisture content and water activity decreased and the degradation degree of collagen in RSC body wall increased with hydrogen bonds breaking. The results showed that hydrogen bonds were essential for the storage stability of RSC.

This study aimed to compare the bonding efficacy three bioactive self-adhesive restorative systems to dentin. A total of 80 permanent human molars were utilized in this study. The occlusal enamel was removed to exposed mid-coronal dentin; 40 molars were used for microshear bond strength testing, while the remaining molars were used for micromorphological analysis of restoration/dentin interface.

Processed cheese faces challenges related to short shelf life and susceptibility to microbial contamination during room temperature storage. Nisin, a natural antimicrobial peptide used for food preservation, exhibits limited sustained activity and a narrow antimicrobial spectrum, making its enhancement essential. To address these issues, this study employed electrostatic self-assembly technology to develop chitosan-pectin nanoparticles loaded with nisin (CNP) to improve processed cheese stability at room temperature.

DNA is not only a centrally important molecule in biology: the specificity of bonding that allows it to be the primary information storage medium for life has also allowed it to become one of the most promising materials for designing intricate, self-assembling structures at the nanoscale. While the applications of these structures are both broad and highly promising, the self-assembly process itself has attracted interest not only for the practical applications of designing structures with more efficient assembly pathways, but also due to a desire to understand the principles underlying self-assembling systems more generally, of which DNA-based systems provide intriguing and unique examples. Here, we review the fundamental physical principles that underpin the self-assembly process in the field of DNA nanotechnology, with a specific focus on simulation and modelling and what we can learn from them.

Organic compounds present promising options for sustainable zinc battery electrodes. Nevertheless, the electrochemical properties of current organic electrodes still lag behind those of their inorganic counterparts. In this study, nitro groups were incorporated into pyrene-4, 5, 9, 10-tetraone (PTO), resulting in an elevated discharge voltage due to their strong electron-withdrawing capabilities.

Traditionally weak buried interaction without customized chemical bonding always goes against the formation of high-quality perovskite film that highly determines the efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells. To address this issue, herein, we propose a bimolecular nucleophilic substitution reaction (SN2) driving strategy to idealize the robust buried interface by simultaneously decorating underlying substrate and functionalizing [PbX6]4- octahedral framework with iodoacetamide and thiol molecules, respectively. Theoretical and experimental results demonstrate that a strong SN2 reaction between exposed halogen and thiol group in two molecules occurs, which not only benefits the reinforcement of buried adhesion, but also triggers target-point-oriented crystallization, synergistically upgrading the upper perovskite film quality and accelerating interfacial charge extraction-transfer behavior.
