Density functional theory (DFT) calculations rationalize this enhancement, showing BTHC possesses a narrower HOMO–LUMO gap (4.01 vs. 4.10 eV) and an electronic structure that favors charge transfer. Critically, its dual-anchoring thioamide groups facilitate multidentate coordination, promoting extended surface coverage. This mechanism is directly validated by SEM-EDX analysis, which reveals BTHC forms a compact, coherent film that effectively suppresses corrosive product formation.

The influence of glucose-derived carbon on phase formation, crystallite size, surface-related vibrational features, and microstructural evolution was systematically investigated by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and field-emission scanning electron microscopy. All samples retained the single-phase orthorhombic LiMnPO₄ structure, while the average crystallite size decreased progressively from ~173 nm (pristine) to ~73 nm (20 wt % carbon), indicating effective suppression of crystallite growth by the carbonaceous coating. Electron microscopy revealed the formation of hierarchical microstructures, where nanoscale crystallites assemble into micrometer-scale secondary particles, with carbon content governing the balance between growth inhibition and particle aggregation.

In this work, conformational changes of oligomeric HAs (with a molecular mass range of 11.2–50.0 kDa) in a wide pH range (4.0–10.0) were investigated by synthesizing HA conjugates labeled with 2-aminobenzoic acid. The labeling strategy used introduces a sensitive internal fluorophore into the hyaluronan structure, which allows for monitoring subtle structural shifts in the macromolecule in real time. The integrity of the HA backbone after conjugation was assessed by measuring the viscosity of the solutions, which confirmed the absence of significant chain degradation during the labeling process. Chemical modification and labeling efficiency were confirmed by fluorescence spectrophotometry and hydrophilic high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorimetric detection. Conformational transitions were characterized using differential scanning fluorimetry (DSF), which allowed us to gain insight into the thermal stability and behavior of oligomers. Additional estimates of the hydrodynamic size distribution were obtained using dynamic light scattering (DLS) and particle trajectory analysis, providing a comprehensive view of the supramolecular organization in solution. Changes in the fluorescence intensity of the label and particle size were assessed for both the initial labeled HAs and the products of their reaction with an epoxy cross-linking agent, 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether. The observed pH-dependent shifts in fluorescence and size distribution indicate reversible conformational rearrangements of HA oligomers, probably caused by the protonation/deprotonation state of carboxyl groups. Furthermore, BDDE treatment caused significant changes in size and fluorescence consistent with effective covalent modification and alteration of the supramolecular structure. Based on the obtained data, a scheme of interaction of HA with glycidyl ethers was proposed, emphasizing the essential role of the conformation of the initial HA for the cross-linking processes.</p>","PeriodicalId":745,"journal":{"name":"Protection of Metals and Physical Chemistry of Surfaces","volume":"62 3","pages":"532 - 544"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2026-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149176611","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
