Summary: Light and ultrasound were used to activate peracetic acid (PAA) for oxidizing bisphenols (BPs). UV irradiation with a wavelength of 254 nm was found to be the optimal activator for PAA based on the chemometric approach. The effectiveness of the UV/PAA system was compared with other oxidation methods, and under optimal conditions, the tested BPs were completely degraded within 15-60 minutes. Toxicity assessment showed that the reaction mixture had limited toxicity towards living organisms.

Summary: A new class of CO-releasing molecules, M-CPOnes, was prepared by combining cyclopropenone-based ligands with the modular scaffold of transition metal complexes. These molecules are stable in the dark but undergo light-triggered CO release, allowing the tuning of their photophysical properties. The modularity of M-CPOnes and the potential for further functionalization of the ligand make them appealing for tailored functionality in applications.

Summary: In this study, the effects of a few percent diphenyl contents on the macroscale viscoelasticity of polysiloxane material were investigated through mechanical tests and finite element simulations. It was found that the degree of cross-linking did not significantly alter the microstructure, but had profound effects on the viscoelastic response of the copolymer networks. Even a small increase in the molar ratio of the diphenyl component slowed down the relaxation of the copolymer chains.

Summary: Polysiloxane is a crucial polymeric material in technology, and incorporating phenyl siloxane in copolymerization can enhance its elasticity and performance over a wide temperature range. However, the influence of such changes in the structure and dynamics of polysiloxanes is not well-understood. In this study, molecular dynamics simulations were used to investigate the structure and dynamics of random poly(dimethyl-co-diphenyl)siloxane. Results showed that increasing the ratio of diphenyl component led to the expansion of the copolymer chain and significantly slowed down its diffusivity, indicating a complex interplay between phenyl substitution-induced structural and dynamic changes.

Summary: In this study, native PG nanoparticles were chemically modified to obtain mPG nanoparticles with different hydrophobicity, which showed a more compact structure and homogeneous size distribution. The viscosity of mPG at low shear rate increased with the degree of substitution. A pH-driven loading method for curcumin showed significantly higher encapsulation efficiency and greater antioxidant activity compared to traditional methods. This study demonstrates the potential of hydrophobically modified PG nanostructures as food-grade nanocarriers for lipophilic bioactive compounds with improved bioactivity.

Summary: Chitosan (CS)/carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) porous hydrogels crosslinked by epichlorohydrin and with polyethylene glycol (PEG) as a pore-forming agent were synthesized for removal of anionic (Congo red, CR) and cationic (methylene blue, MB) dyes from aqueous solutions. The addition of PEG significantly increased the adsorption of CR and MB, with optimal performance observed for hydrogels prepared with 2% CS and 2% CMC (CS2/CMC2). The adsorption processes followed pseudosecond-order and pseudo-first-order kinetics models for CR and MB, respectively. Freundlich and Langmuir models were suitable for describing the adsorption isotherms of CR and MB, respectively. The thermodynamic study confirmed that the adsorption of CR and MB by the hydrogels was spontaneous, with CR adsorption being endothermic and MB adsorption being exothermic.

Summary: This paper describes a strategy to catalyze in situ C-H oxidation by combining cobalt (Co) single-atom catalysts (SACs) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP). The Co SACs were synthesized using a Co phthalocyanine complex and were found to be strongly correlated to their reactivity. Increasing the calcination temperature improved catalytic activity, with the Co SACs obtained at 800°C showing superior activity in producing H2O2. The in situ production of H2O2 was further coupled with HRP for selective C-H bond oxidation.

Summary: We used polymer N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) to control the microenvironment surrounding metal nanocatalysts, enhancing their catalytic performance in CO2 electroreduction. Three polymer NHC ligands were designed with different hydrophobicity: hydrophilic poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO-NHC), hydrophobic polystyrene (PS-NHC), and amphiphilic block copolymer (PEO-b-PS-NHC). The introduction of hydrophobic PS segments led to a twofold increase in the partial current density for CO formation. The hydrophobic polymers altered the hydrogen bonding structures of water, improving CO2 diffusion and subsequent reduction.

Summary: Passive daytime radiative cooling (PDRC) technology, while promising for global spacing cooling, faces limitations in practical application due to reduced cooling effectiveness caused by wear and dirt contamination. Researchers have developed a renewable armor structure using fluorinated hollow glass microspheres to enhance the anti-fouling and cooling properties of PDRC coatings. The coatings exhibit high solar reflectance and thermal emittance, leading to significant temperature reduction below ambient temperature.
