Polymer matrix composites have garnered the interest of the dentistry sector. Nano-fillers are frequently used as reinforcements in these composites to enhance their characteristics. Poly (methyl methacrylate) was filled with date seed nanoparticles (DSNP) and titanium oxide nanoparticles (TiONP). In this work, two nanofillers (DSNP and TiONP) were analyzed using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). In addition, the features of the PMMA-nanofiller composite were experimentally evaluated via compression, micro-hardness, wear rate (WR), and coefficients of friction (µ) testing. Utilizing a scanning electron microscope (SEM), the microstructure of the PMMA-DSNP composite was examined. The results of the experiments on the nanocomposites demonstrated that the elastic modulus, microhardness, wear resistance, and friction resistance increased with an increase in DSNP content to 1.2 wt, in comparison to TiONP at the same concentration. Finally, according to the guidelines, the ideal weight was determined to be 1.2 wt%, filler in the form of DSNP, at a normal load of 10 N.

Plastic pollution is a global problem affecting the environment and, consequently, people's well-being. Careful and timely end-of-life plastic recycling is certainly a way, albeit a partial one, to remedy the problem. The immediate identification and selection of the different types of plastic materials in the recycling process certainly facilitate its recovery and reuse, allowing the damage caused by plastic emission into the environment to be limited.

Nanocomposite materials composed of an organic matrix and an inorganic nanofiller have been the subject of intense research in recent years. Indeed, the synergy between these two phases confers improved properties thanks to an increased surface-volume ratio, which reinforces the interactions between the particles and the polymer matrix. These interactions depend on many factors such as the shape, size and dispersion of the nanoobjects.

In this paper, the pH-sensitive targeting functional material NGR-poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline)-cholesteryl methyl carbonate (NGR-PEtOz-CHMC, NPC) modified quercetin (QUE) liposomes (NPC-QUE-L) was constructed. The structure of NPC was confirmed by infrared spectroscopy (IR) and nuclear magnetic resonance hydrogen spectrum (H-NMR). Pharmacokinetic results showed that the accumulation of QUE in plasma of the NPC-QUE-L group was 1.

Article Synopsis
- New tetrakis Eu and Gd β-diketonate complexes with benzimidazolium as a counterion were synthesized using a one-pot method, and one specific complex was incorporated into a PMMA matrix showing excellent photonic features.
- Characterization techniques like ESI-MS, FTIR, and X-ray diffraction were used to analyze the complexes, revealing unique intermolecular interactions and stability of the PMMA-doped material at high temperatures.
- The study highlighted that the materials exhibited strong photoluminescence with significant red emission when exposed to various UV wavelengths and sunlight, suggesting their potential as efficient light-converting molecular devices.
