Summary: Keratin-based nanofibers were fabricated using electrospinning and showed potential as scaffolds for tissue engineering. The nanofibers had a uniform and randomly oriented structure, with a diameter range of 100 to 250 nm. Functional groups and structural studies indicated interaction between poly(vinyl alcohol) and keratin. In vitro cell culture studies demonstrated non-toxicity and successful growth of various cell lines on the PK-NF scaffolds. The aligned or random fibril arrangement did not significantly affect cell growth and viability, highlighting the potential of PK-NFs as scaffolds for skin tissue engineering.

Summary: This study successfully prepared a TiO2/graphene (TiO2/G) composite photocatalytic material via the hydrothermal method. The TiO2/G nanocomposites showed a large specific surface area, small pore size, and low electron-hole pair complexation rate, resulting in efficient degradation of pollutants. By anchoring TiO2 on graphene oxide (GO), the photoresponse range of TiO2/G was broadened and its photocatalytic efficiency was significantly improved. This work is important for the development of photocatalytic systems for the treatment of mineral processing wastewater.

Summary: A microplastic sampling device was designed and developed to obtain a high recovery rate of microplastics and prevent contamination. The device was evaluated using microplastic reference materials and computational fluid dynamics analysis. It has the capability to process both large (100 μm) and easily contaminated microplastics (around 20 μm), achieving a recovery rate of 94.2% and separating particles through filtration. This method improves the accuracy and reproducibility of microplastic contamination results and facilitates consistent collection and management of microplastic data.
