Micro/Nanostructures and Mechanical Properties of Trabecular Bone in Ovariectomized Rats by Shidi Hu, Jin Li, Lu Liu, Ruchun Dai, Zhifeng Sheng, Xianping Wu, Xiqiao Feng, Xuefeng Yao, Eryuan Liao, Evan Keller, Yebin Jiang

“…Bone mechanical properties encompass both geometric and material factors, while the effects of estrogen deficiency on the material and structural characteristics of bone at micro- to nanoscales are still obscure. We performed a series of combined methodological experiments, including nanoindentation assessment of intrinsic material properties, atomic force microscopy (AFM) characterization of trabecular (Tb) nanostructure, and Tb microarchitecture and 2D BMD. …”

Development and Characterization of Lyophilized Chondroitin Sulfate-Loaded Solid Lipid Nanoparticles: Encapsulation Efficiency and Stability by Marta E. Bustos Araya, Anna Nardi Ricart, Ana C. Calpena Campmany, Rafel Prohens, Montserrat Miñarro Carmona

“…<b>Results:</b> Morphological analyses using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) confirmed the dimensions of the nanoscales and their structural uniformity. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) revealed minimal excipient interaction with CHON, ensuring formulation stability. …”

Quantitative Characterization of Full-Spectrum Pore Size and Connectivity for Shale with Different Sedimentary Facies from the Dongying Depression, Bohai Bay Basin, East China by Yushan Du, Na Yin, Qinhong Hu, Mianmo Meng, Xiuchuan Zhu, Jing Chao, Cunfei Ma

“…Pores in these four facies are mainly at nanoscales with predominant pore-throat diameters at less than 50 nm; however, the “high TOC laminated clayey marlstone” facies has the largest peak in the range of >1 μm, possibly because of its interlaminar structure and microcracks. …”
