Summary: This study focused on electrically conductive polyaniline (PANI)-based polymer composites and their films, specifically those containing poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA). The goal was to evaluate PANI composites that contained biopolymer platforms (chitosan or cellulose micro powder) for humidity sensing, and compare them to composites that contained carbon nanofibers. Ternary film materials were prepared by polymerization of PANI onto the biopolymer or carbon support, followed by physical blending with PVA. The results showed that chitosan-based films had good mechanical properties, moderate electrical conductivity, and favorable humidity response and moisture uptake. Chitosan was found to be a valuable mechanical reinforcement additive for PANI-based composites. Cellulose and carbon-based composites were generally inferior to chitosan, except for higher conductivity. The study suggests that PANI/biopolymer composites are promising humidity sensor materials due to their good moisture uptake and electromechanical properties. The ability to tailor the structure and properties of PANI/biopolymer composites makes them attractive as sustainable materials for humidity sensing, compared to conventional ceramic materials.

Summary: Conductive nanofibers were fabricated through electrospinning of PANI/PES using different solvents, with HFIP identified as the best solvent due to its low boiling point and surface tension. The study found that a solvent with suitable properties can lead to enhanced electrical conductivity and a shift from a flat 2D structure to a fluffy 3D structure in the resulting nanofibrous scaffold. Additionally, the optimal percentage of PES varied depending on the solvent used, with HFIP allowing for electrospinning at lower concentrations.

Summary: This work presents a sensitive and stable solid contact ion selective electrode (SC-ISE) for the detection of lead ions using a polyaniline intercalated hydrophobic montmorillonite composite (PANI-DMT) as the solid transduction layer. The GC/PANI-DMT/Pb2+-ISM demonstrated a detection limit of 1.0 x 10-7 M and fast potential response (<5 s). The ISE also exhibited high stability and reproducibility, with low potential drift under constant current and open circuit potential. The outstanding performance of the GC/PANI-DMT/Pb2+-ISM is attributed to the effective ion diffusion channel provided by DMT, larger specific capacitance, and improved hydrophobicity compared to PANI.

Summary: In this study, novel Co/C magnetic nanocomposite fibers were successfully prepared via electrospinning and carbonization methods for electromagnetic (EM) absorption. Extensive characterization of morphology, composition, magnetic properties, and EM absorption performance was conducted. The material exhibited exceptional EM absorption performance, outperforming any single precursor and similar investigations, attributed to the microstructure and macrostructure of magnetic Co nanoparticles encapsulated in carbon nanofibers and cross-linked three-dimensional (3D) conductive networks. These findings provide insights into the production of one-dimensional carbon-based absorbers and establish a theoretical foundation for exploring the application potential of this material.

Summary: We present a simple method for preparing a carboxymethylcellulose magnetic composite (CMC-MC) that effectively removes toluidine blue (TB), a cationic dye, from water. The CMC-MC, consisting of CMC and magnetic nanoparticles, showed higher efficiency (36%) and capacity (83.7 mg/g) for TB adsorption compared to pristine magnetic particles (4.0% and 9.0 mg/g, respectively). We investigated the factors affecting the adsorptive capacity of CMC-MC and found that the removal process followed a Langmuir-type isotherm and a pseudo-second-order kinetic mechanism, which was exothermic. Additionally, CMC-MC exhibited good reusability without significant loss of its adsorptive characteristics. These findings suggest that CMC-MC is a promising material for the sustainable and cost-effective removal of TB dye from water.

Summary: We prepared a Luffa cylindrica/polypyrrole (LC/PPy) composite and investigated its application in the removal of tartrazine dye (E102) from water. Characterization techniques including FTIR, EDX, XRD, and SEM confirmed the thorough coating of PPy chains on the LC matrix, with the composite exhibiting amorphous and crystalline phases. We examined various parameters and found that the highest adsorption rate was achieved with a 30 min polymerization. The highest removal capacity was observed at pH 2.0, 298 K, and after 360 min of interaction. The composite showed potential for multiple adsorption-desorption cycles and also exhibited good results for the removal of other dyes.

Summary: This work focuses on the thermochemistry of solvation of azeotropes. The enthalpies of dissolution of azeotropes in different mediums were determined, and the impact of the structure of the azeotropes on their properties in solution was discussed. A correlation between enthalpies of solvation and molar refraction was used to determine the vaporization enthalpies of azeotropes for the first time. The results were found to be consistent with literature data, obtained using direct and calculated methods. These findings contribute to the analysis of the structure-property relationships of azeotropes.

Summary: In this study, the interactions between doped and pristine coronenes and adenine nucleobases were investigated using Density Functional Theory. The optimal configurations, adsorption energies, charge transfer, and electrical properties of each complex were calculated. It was found that doped coronene had stronger adsorption strength and charge transfer compared to pristine coronene. The stability of the complexes was attributed to non-covalent interactions in the interactive region. The change in electrical conductivity of coronenes after adsorption suggested their sensitivity towards DNA bases. The predicted energy gap and prolonged recovery time for adenine-coronene configurations indicated the potential application of pristine/doped coronene in DNA detection.

Summary: This study evaluated the adsorption of zolpidem on magnetic graphene oxide and synthesized magnetic graphene oxide adsorbents for zolpidem removal. The best magnetic nanoadsorbent was found to have a removal percentage of 87.07% at specific pH and temperature conditions. The results suggest that the removal of zolpidem is related to the surface chemistry of the adsorbent rather than the surface area of graphene oxide. The adsorbent showed excellent adsorption efficiency and magnetic behavior, making it a promising material for removing zolpidem from aqueous solutions.

The results show that volume fraction and temperature have a significant impact on the thermal conductivity, while sphericity also needs to be considered. A support vector machine regression model was created to analyze the sensitivity of the thermal conductivity to different parameters. The findings indicate that temperature, sphericity, and volume fraction are the most sensitive variables.
