The efficient loading and sustained release of proteins from bioactive microspheres remain a significant challenge. In this study, we have developed bioactive microspheres which can be loaded with protein and then have a controlled rate of protein release into a surrounding medium. This was achieved by preparing a bioactive microsphere system with core-shell structure, combining a calcium silicate (CS) shell with an alginate (A) core by a one-step in situ method. The result was to improve the microspheres' protein adsorption and release, which yielded a highly bioactive material with potential uses in bone repair applications. The composition and the core-shell structure, as well as the formation mechanism of the obtained CS–A microspheres, were investigated by X-ray diffraction, optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectrometer dot and line-scanning analysis. The protein loading efficiency reached 75 per cent in CS–A microspheres with a core-shell structure by the in situ method. This is significantly higher than that of pure A or CS–A microspheres prepared by non- in situ method, which lack a core-shell structure. CS–A microspheres with a core-shell structure showed a significant decrease in the burst release of proteins, maintaining sustained release profile in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) at both pH 7.4 and 4.3, compared with the controls. The protein release from CS–A microspheres is predominantly controlled by a Fickian diffusion mechanism. The CS–A microspheres with a core-shell structure were shown to have improved apatite-mineralization in simulated body fluids compared with the controls, most probably owing to the existence of bioactive CS shell on the surface of the microspheres. Our results indicate that the core-shell structure of CS–A microspheres play an important role in enhancing protein delivery and mineralization, which makes these composite materials promising candidates for application in bone tissue regeneration.

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is a powerful tool in charge transfer (CT) process research. By analyzing the relative intensity of the characteristic bands in the bridging molecules, one can obtain detailed information about the CT between two materials. Herein, we synthesized a series of Au nanorods (NRs) with different length-to-diameter ratios (L/Ds) and used these Au NRs to prepare a series of core–shell structures with the same Cu2O thicknesses to form Au NR–4-mercaptobenzoic acid (MBA)@Cu2O core–shell structures. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) absorption bands were adjusted by tuning the L/Ds of Au NR cores in these assemblies. SERS spectra of the core-shell structure were obtained under 633 and 785 nm laser excitations, and on the basis of the differences in the relative band strengths of these SERS spectra detected with the as-synthesized assemblies, we calculated the CT degree of the core–shell structure. We explored whether the Cu2O conduction band and valence band position and the SPR absorption band position together affect the CT process in the core–shell structure. In this work, we found that the specific surface area of the Au NRs could influence the CT process in Au NR–MBA@Cu2O core–shell structures, which has rarely been discussed before.

SiCp reinforced aluminium matrix composites (AMCs), which are widely used in the aerospace, automotive, and electronic packaging fields along with others, are usually prepared by ex situ techniques. However, interfacial contamination and poor wettability of the ex situ techniques make further improvement in their comprehensive performance difficult. In this paper, SiCp reinforced AMCs with theoretical volume fractions of 15, 20, and 30% are prepared by powder metallurgy and in situ reaction via an Al-Si-C system. Moreover, a combined method of external addition and an in situ method is used to investigate the synergistic effect of ex situ and in situ SiCp on AMCs. SiC particles can be formed by an indirect reaction: 4Al + 3C → Al4C3 and Al4C3 + 3Si → 3SiC + 4Al. This reaction is mainly through the diffusion of Si, in which Si diffuses around Al4C3 and then reacts with Al4C3 to form SiCp. The in situ SiC particles have a smooth boundary, and the particle size is approximately 1–3 μm. A core-shell structure having good bonding with an aluminium matrix was generated, which consists of an ex situ SiC core and an in situ SiC shell with a thickness of 1–5 μm. The yield strength and ultimate tensile strength of in situ SiCp reinforced AMCs can be significantly increased with a constant ductility by adding 5% ex situ SiCp for Al-28Si-7C. The graphite particle size has a significant effect on the properties of the alloy. A criterion to determine whether Al4C3 is a complete reaction is achieved, and the forming mechanism of the core-shell structure is analysed.
