A common problem for Zn alloys is the trade-off between antibacterial ability and biocompatibility. This paper proposes a strategy to solve this problem by increasing release ratio of Ca ions, which is realized by significant refinement of CaZn particles through bottom circulating water-cooled casting (BCWC) and rolling. Compared with conventionally fabricated Zn-0.3Ca alloy, the BCWC-rolled alloy shows higher antibacterial abilities against and , meanwhile much less toxicity to MC3T3-E1 cells. Additionally, plasticity, degradation uniformity, and ability to induce osteogenic differentiation of the alloy are improved. The elongation up to 49 %, which is the highest among Zn alloys with Ca, and is achieved since the sizes of CaZn particles and Zn grains are small and close. As a result, the long-standing problem of low formability of Zn alloys containing Ca has also been solved due to the elimination of large CaZn particles. The BCWC-rolled alloy is a promising candidate of making GBR membrane.

Microplastic defines as a tiny plastic particle that has a size of less than 5 mm and is ubiquitous in the environment. Due to the tiny size, this microplastic adversely affected the environment, notably aquatic life via ingestion, choking, and entanglement. This microplastic is arduous to degrade as it takes a thousand years due to the properties of plastic itself and consequently remains in nature.

Dysprosium ion (Dy ) activated Ba CaZn Si O phosphors were synthesized using high temperature solid-state reaction method. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) analysis confirmed the phase formation of the as-prepared phosphors. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis disclosed an agglomeration of particles with an irregular morphology.

A scholzite (CaZn(PO)·2HO) coating was prepared in situ on commercially pure titanium (cpTi) and Ti-6Al-4V (Ti64) substrates using the chemical conversion technology, and its phase composition and microstructure, as well as mechanical, chemical and biological properties were investigated to explore potential applications as a bioactive coating on bone implants. It is indicated that the coating consists mainly of monoclinic scholzite crystals with nano-thick laminar morphology. The crystals on cpTi aggregate to flower-like particles with the diameter of 5-10μm, while form a network structure homogeneously on Ti64.

We present a mobile trap algorithm to sense zinc ions using protein-based sensors such as carbonic anhydrase (CA). Zinc is an essential biometal required for mammalian cellular functions although its intracellular concentration is reported to be very low. Protein-based sensors like CA molecules are employed to sense rare species like zinc ions.
