Summary: This study investigated the adsorption process and mechanism of heavy metal ion lead using a magnetic ash/graphene oxide nanocomposite through artificial intelligence simulation and molecular dynamics calculations. The adsorption was found to occur through electrostatic interactions and van der Waals bonding, with the lead-water-GO configuration showing the highest adsorption affinity. An artificial neural network model was developed to predict the adsorption capacity, and the initial ion concentration was found to have a significant effect on the equilibrium concentration.

Summary: Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) can adsorb fibrinogen in a two-step process at neutral pH, leading to improved mechanical stability and alignment under flow. Composite hydrogels with CNCs show higher storage moduli and promote muscle cell differentiation. These findings offer new perspectives for injectable fibrin-based formulations.

Summary: Dispersion of nanofillers in a polymer matrix is essential in preparing polymer nanocomposites. This study introduces a simple method called the swelling-based particle adsorption (SPA) for dispersing cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) in incompatible polypropylene (PP) matrix without surface functionalization of CNFs. The SPA method allows CNFs to adsorb onto the surface of PP particles using a small amount of solvent. The resulting PP/CNFs composite films exhibit significantly improved Young's modulus and further enhancement can be achieved by adding polypropylene-graft-maleic anhydride.

Summary: This study investigates the removal of Cu2+ from polluted water using modified lobster shell biochar. The results show that the modified biochar has a higher Cu2+ adsorption capacity due to the increased number of nitrogen-containing groups. The initial concentration of Cu2+ has the greatest impact on its removal, while the interaction between pH and initial concentration is also significant.

Summary: Humic acid residue (HAS) was utilized to prepare an NH4H2PO4 modified material (NH4H2PO4-HAS) for the efficient adsorption of Pb2+ in aqueous solutions. The adsorption equilibrium was well fitted with the Langmuir isotherm model and the kinetic adsorption data followed the pseudo-second-order model. The thermodynamic parameters indicated that the adsorption process was spontaneous and more favorable at high temperatures. The adsorption mechanism involved physical adsorption, surface complexation adsorption, and precipitation of Pb2+ by NH4H2PO4-HAS.

Summary: A new lanthanum sulfide nanoparticle was synthesized and incorporated onto magnetic graphene oxide sheets to create a potential adsorbent for efficient removal of lead ions from wastewater. The synthesized adsorbent was characterized and parameters such as pH, dosage, contact time, concentration, and temperature were studied. The Langmuir isotherm model showed the best fit with a maximum adsorption capacity of 123.46 mg/g, indicating a monolayer adsorption pattern. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model best described the adsorption rate, while the thermodynamic model suggested a chemisorption and physisorption adsorption mechanism at different temperatures.

Summary: Crosslinking affects the mechanical behavior and tissue metabolism of collagen-based tissues. Aging and diabetes alter the crosslinking type and density, thus changing tissue properties. High-connectivity enzymatic crosslinking and advanced-glycation end-products result in uniform deformation under daily activity, while low-connectivity enzymatic crosslinking does not. High-connectivity model displays more sliding, while AGEs induce instability in structures near the binding sites.

Summary: The potential of multi-layer nanoemulsions for improving the cellular uptake, antioxidant activity, and in vitro bioaccessibility of alpha-tocopherol was examined. The results showed that the multi-layer nanoemulsions significantly enhanced the cellular uptake and antioxidant activity of alpha-tocopherol compared to free coumarin 6. Furthermore, the use of chitosan and dextran sulfate as wall materials in the multi-layer nanoemulsions led to even higher cellular uptake, in vitro bioaccessibility, and antioxidant activity of alpha-tocopherol.
