... For example, ergosterol has antifungal properties demonstrated against filamentous fungi such as Aspergillus flavus, Penicillium digitatum, among others [159]. In fact, Li et al. [176] showed that ergosterol inhibits the growth of Helicobacter pylori, the main etiological agent associated with chronic gastritis and duodenal ulcers [177]. Ergosterol also affects the growth of Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent that causes Chagas disease, as ergosterol permeabilizes the plasma and mitochondrial membranes, causing the death of the parasite. ...

... Novel dopamine hydrochloridemodified hydrophobic association polymers exhibit not only good comprehensive properties based on their porous network structures but also excellent viscosity [40]. Considering the damage to formations caused by residue after fracturing flowback, green and clean nanocomposite friction reducers have been developed, showing excellent properties such as non-toxicity, non-hazardousness, and resistance to salt and temperature [41]. Emulsion-based slickwater fracturing fluids exhibit rapid viscosity buildup, eliminating the need for pre-mixing; exhibit continuous blending units; and offer good viscoelastic properties, thus reducing operational costs. ...

... Considering the application scenarios of hydrogel marine coatings, dual-network hydrogels prove particularly well-suited [16,[19][20][21][22][23]. They ensure the stability of the gel coatings over extended periods, even under diverse underwater conditions, thereby offering prolonged protection to the substrate [24]. ...
