Effect on 3D-printability and microstructure of pork paste partially replaced with yellow mealworm larvae paste by Jinbo Xu, Jiaqi Liu, Hui Wang, Qian Liu, Qian Chen, Fangda Sun, Baohua Kong

“…The mixed pastes’ 3D printability was determined by measuring their rheological and microstructural properties. The Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy results showed that the addition of YML increased the content of chitin, and the disentanglement and reorientation of chitin resulted in a decrease in viscosity and an increase in shear-thinning behavior which are shown in the rheological results. …”

Novel approach to enhance antifungal properties via formation of wavy and Sharp microstructures composed of metal oxide nanoparticles and Cdots by Satya Pal Singh, Himanshi Yadav, Himanshi Chauhan, Vivek Hada, Kumari Neha Singh

“…The microtiter plates were first coated with 2, 5-dimercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole (DMcT) dissolved in methanol (1 gm/mL) and were then dried and coated with NPs and C-dots using their suspensions in deionised water with three different concentrations. The evolution of spinodal wave-like structures, as reported in our case of evaporating thin films, appears to leave behind spiky and periodic wavy blades and needle-like nano-microstructures composed of NPs and Cdots. …”
