Surface Modification of Polystyrene with O Atoms Produced Downstream from an Ar/O2 Microwave Plasma
Technologies, 2018 Because discarded polystyrene (PS) is little affected by degrading agents, PS was treated with a remote microwave (MW) plasma discharge of an Ar/O2 mixture in the absence of radiation to increase wettability and introduce functional groups which make the

Effects of ultrasonic treatment on aqueous suspensions of diamond nanopowders
Хімія, фізика та технологія поверхні, 2023 It has been found that ultrasonic treatment of diamond nanopowders contributes to surface cleaning due to the removal of non-diamond carbon and impurities from the surface boundary of nanodiamond grains (from 0.4 and 0.32 % for ASUD-99 and 0.67 and 0.55

Structure‐forward targeting of claudins with synthetic binders
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Claudins form the paracellular barriers between epithelial and endothelial tissues at tight junctions and are targets for molecular binders with the goal of modulating barrier permeability. Claudin‐binding molecules are relevant in drug delivery or in altering claudin interactions with disease‐causing proteins.

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.TisIBP8, a fungal‐derived hyperactive ice‐binding protein, helps Caenorhabditis elegans survive dehydration. It localizes near cell membranes, reduces cell damage, and helps maintain membrane structure during drying. These results suggest that ice‐binding proteins can protect cells from dehydration stress as well as freezing stress.
