As the fiber diameter decreases, surface-to-volume atom fraction increases, making the impact of surface defects more significant. To elucidate these effects, we employed classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to investigate how fiber dimensions and the surface layer influence the mechanical properties of silica glass nanofibers. Our simulation methodology included fibers of varying diameters, generated using two different production methods (i.e. “cutting” and “casting” methods) that produce different degrees of surface atomic defects, and compared with bulk samples without surface atoms. The defect-rich surface layer of these fibers was carefully analyzed. Then, MD tensile simulations were performed to analyze the effect of the fiber surface on the mechanical properties and to explain the onset of the brittle-to-ductile transition experimentally observed at a few tens of nanometers. The results revealed that the surface layer maintains a fixed thickness independent of the fiber diameter, resulting in a pronounced increase of the fiber defects in thin fibers. Also, the tensile test simulations show that surface defects significantly reduce tensile strength, without appreciably increasing ductility compared to bulk samples. In turn, we show that the brittle-to-ductile transition is not caused by the surface defects, but related to a balance between fracture energy and elastic energy, which varies with fiber length. Using experimental values of different glass properties, our theory predicted a threshold length of around 200 nm, below which ductile fracture dominates, in reasonable agreement with experimental results.</p><h3>Graphic abstract</h3><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":51136,"journal":{"name":"Nanoscale Research Letters","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1186/s11671-025-04210-0.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143423151","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore, the packaging materials used within the packaging industry are typically unsustainable food packaging. To confront this significant challenge, nanotechnology may offer a feasible alternative to standard packaging practices. Several naturally derived polymers are capable of substituting petrochemical-based polymers. The application of biopolymers has demonstrated an ability to prolong the shelf life of food items. However, these materials frequently exhibit limited functionality. The incorporation of nanomaterials can significantly enhance the capabilities of these films. Furthermore, the fields of nanotechnology and food packaging are trending areas of research that hold promise for addressing various challenges within the packaging sector. Integrating nanomaterials into food packaging materials yields significant advantages relative to traditional packaging approaches. It contributes to enhanced food quality and safety, provides consumers with insights into their dietary practices, enables the repair of packaging tears, and increases the longevity of food storage. Incorporating various nanomaterials into biobased films has gained prominence in sustainable food packaging. This review explores the general overview of the historical perspective of nanotechnology. In addition, we addressed the various kinds of nanomaterials involved in food packaging. The functions of nanomaterials in food packaging applications are briefly reviewed.

Wound dressings play an important part in wound care by maintaining a suitable environment that promotes healing. Silver sulfadiazine dressings have been used to prevent infection in burn wounds. Presently, many commercial silver dressings have obtained FDA clearance.</p><h3>Results</h3><p>In this study, we report on a novel silver dressing using microporous aluminosilicate zeolites, termed ABF-XenoMEM. Silver and zinc ions are encapsulated in the zeolite supercages. We show that the silver-zinc zeolite (AM30) alone is effective at inhibiting biofilm formation. The encapsulation protects the silver from rapidly precipitating in biological fluids. We exploit the negatively charged zeolite surface to associate positively charged quaternary ammonium ions (quat) with the zeolite. The combination of the AM30 with the quat enhances the antimicrobial activity. The colloidal nature of the zeolite materials makes it possible to make uniform deposits on a commercial extracellular matrix membrane to develop the final dressing (ABF-XenoMEM). The optimum loading of silver, zinc, and quat on the dressing was found to be 30, 3.7, and 221 µg/cm<sup>2</sup>. Using a colony biofilm model, the activity of ABF-XenoMEM is compared with four well-studied silver-based commercial dressings towards mature biofilms of <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> PAO1 (ATCC 4708) and methicillin-resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> (ATCC 33592). Cytotoxicity of the dressings was examined in HepG2 cells using the MTT assay.</p><h3>Conclusion</h3><p>This study shows that the ABF-XenoMEM is competitive with extensively used commercial wound dressings in a colony biofilm model. Nanozeolite-entrapped silver/zinc antimicrobials in association with quat have the potential for application in biofilm-infected wounds and require animal and clinical studies for definitive proof.</p><h3>Graphical abstract</h3><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":51136,"journal":{"name":"Nanoscale Research Letters","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1186/s11671-025-04208-8.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143388733","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
