Preparation and Microstructure of a Si-Mo Fused Slurry Coating on Carbon/Carbon Composites for Oxidation Protection

A coating of composition Si-40Mo (wt pct) was prepared by fused slurry coating method on the two-dimensional carbon/carbon (2D-C/C) composite to improve oxidation resistance. In the procedure of the fabrication, pure St slurry inner layer in the pre-coating was necessary to apply because of infiltration of liquid Si into the substrate during the sintering. The coating consists of Si continuous phase and MoSi2 particles. In addition, the infiltration of Si into the substrate and the SiC reaction layer between the coating and the C/C composite were observed. Oxidation behavior of coated and uncoated C/C composites was studied in cyclic mode. The oxidation resistance and the thermal shock resistance of the Si-Mo fused slurry coating were quite excellent at 1370℃.

CHROMATOGRAPHIC SEPARATION OF THE ENANTIOMERS OF 3-PHENYL-1,2-EPOXYETHANE AND 1-PHENYL-1-PROPANOL ON A FUSED SILICA CAPILLARY COLUMN COATED WITH PERBENZYL-β-CYCLODEXTRIN

A β-cyclodextrin derivative, perbenzyl-β-cyclodextrin, was prepared and used as a chiral stationary phase for capillary gas chromatography. Using FID detector and the column temperature between 70 and 80℃, the chiral separations of racemic 3-phenyl-1, 2-epoxyethane and 1-phenyl-1-propanol on a 14m×0.23mm I. D. fused silica column with the β-cyclodextrin derivative were carried out and the optical purities of optically active 1-phenyl-1-propanol samples prepared by asymmetric synthesis were determined.

Postprocessing treatments to improve the laser damage resistance of fused silica optical surfaces and SiO_2 coatings

The combination of deep wet etching and a magneto-rheological finishing （MRF） process is investigated to simultaneously improve laser damage resistance of a fused-silica surface at 355 nm. The subsequently deposited SiO2 coatings are researched to clarify the impact of substrate finishing technology on the coatings. It is revealed that a deep removal proceeding from the single side or double side had a significant impact on the laser-induced damage threshold （LIDT） of the fused silica, especially for the rear surface. After the deep etching, the MRF process that followed does not actually increase the LIDT, but it does ameliorate the surface qualities without additional LIDT degradation. The combination guarantee both the integrity of the surface＇s finish and the laser damage resistance of the fused silica and subsequent SiO2 coatings.

An iron-based metal-organic framework nanoplatform for enhanced ferroptosis and oridonin delivery as a comprehensive antitumor strategy

Ferroptosis is a recently discovered pathway for regulated cell death pathway.However,its efficacy is affected by limited iron content and intracellular ion homeostasis.Here,we designed a metalorganic framework(MOF)-based nanoplatform that incorporates calcium peroxide(CaO_(2))and oridonin(ORI).This platform can improve the tumor microenvironment and disrupt intracellular iron homeostasis,thereby enhancing ferroptosis therapy.Fused cell membranes(FM)were used to modify nanoparticles(ORI@CaO_(2)@Fe-TCPP,NPs)to produce FM@ORI@CaO_(2)@Fe-TCPP(FM@NPs).The encapsulated ORI inhibited the HSPB1/PCBP1/IREB2 and FSP1/COQ10 pathways simultaneously,working in tandem with Fe^(3+) to induce ferroptosis.Photodynamic therapy(PDT)guided by porphyrin(TCPP)significantly enhanced ferroptosis through excessive accumulation of reactive oxygen species(ROS).This selfamplifying strategy promoted robust ferroptosis,which could work synergistically with FM-mediated immunotherapy.In vivo experiments showed that FM@NPs inhibited 91.57%of melanoma cells within six days,a rate 5.6 times higher than chemotherapy alone.FM@NPs were biodegraded and directly eliminated in the urine or faeces without substantial toxicity.Thus,this study demonstrated that combining immunotherapy with efficient ferroptosis induction through nanotechnology is a feasible and promising strategy for melanoma treatment.
