Multifunctional PVC/PVA‐ZnO Nanocomposites: Bridging Dielectric Response and Antibacterial Activity for Active Packaging Applications

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
PVC and PVA polymer blends are studied as a function of frequency at room temperature to find the composition that gives the AC conductivity. The blend that has 75% PVC and 25% PVA is chosen as the matrix. Then 10% ZnO nanoparticles are added for food packaging. The change, in conductivity is used as a sign of activity and food freshness. ABSTRACT This

Homologous tumor‐targeting biomimetic nanozyme for synergistic NIR‐II photothermal and chemodynamic therapy

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Studies reveal that a biomimetic nanoplatform based on a cancer cell membrane‐camouflaged Au‐MnOx nanozyme (Au‐MnOx@CCM) can achieve synergistic antitumor therapy by combining NIR‐II mediated PTT with enhanced CDT, offering a promising strategy for precise and efficient tumor therapy. Abstract The therapeutic potential of nanozyme‐mediated chemodynamic

Programmable three‐state nanoreactor for spatiotemporally controlled tumor therapy

BMEMat, EarlyView.
The OMVs are shielded with a biocompatible Da–Ca shell, which prolongs its circulation period and promotes intratumoral accumulation. Importantly, the biocompatible Da–Ca shell can be controllably disintegrated in tumor microenvironment by using laser irradiation, generating in situ hyperthermia and releasing Ca2+.
