Honey-Dependent Augmentation the Stability, Hydrophilicity, Mechanical, and Biological Properties of PCL-PVA Blend Nanofibers Electrospun in Formic Acid/Acetic Acid Solvent Running title: Honey-Based Enhancement of the PCL-PVA Nanofibers Stability

This study demonstrates that incorporating 7.5% honey into PCL-PVA nanofiber solutions stabilized in formic acid/acetic acid solvents prevents time-dependent acidic hydrolysis, thereby maintaining spinnability for over 21 days while enhancing the resulting scaffolds' mechanical strength, hydrophilicity, and biocompatibility compared to honey-free controls.

Liquid-mediated mechanosynthesis of Zn-BDC coordination polymers via water- and DMF-assisted ball milling

This study demonstrates that the phase-selective mechanosynthesis of Zn-BDC coordination polymers via liquid-assisted ball milling is governed by the specific liquid additive used, where water yields a 1D structure while DMF or optimized water-DMF mixtures selectively produce the 2D metal-organic framework MOF-2 with gas adsorption properties comparable to solution-synthesized samples.
