Summary: This study prepared polystyrene-divinylbenzene mesoporous microspheres and their composite microspheres with silver nanoparticles using a two-step seed-swelling polymerization. The effects of different swelling agents on the morphology and structure of mesoporous microspheres were investigated, and the difference between sulfonic acid microspheres and silver nanoparticle composite microspheres during methylene blue (MB) dye degradation was discussed. The composite microspheres exhibited higher removal efficiency for MB due to the electrostatic interactions between sulfonic acid groups and MB, as well as the catalytic reduction of MB by loaded silver nanoparticles.

Summary: In this study, the sorption/desorption characteristics of Eu(III) ions onto halloysite and kaolinite were investigated. It was found that halloysite displayed a higher sorption capacity for Eu(III) than kaolinite in a weakly acidic environment, and the desorption efficiency increased with the increasing concentration of NH4+ ions. The desorption of Eu(III) ions from the two clay minerals is proposed to be governed by the attraction between the outer-sphere complexes and clay minerals when the NH4+ concentration is 0.002 mol/L.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between the morphology of PMMA monopolymers and PMMA-PHEMA copolymers with the expected nature of surfactant-free microemulsions (SFMEs) before polymerization. It is found that previously mesostructured, surfactant-free mixtures can produce porous polymers of different morphologies, while unstructured, oil-rich regions lead to solid, transparent polymers without nanostructured morphologies. Additionally, a surfactant-based reference system shows similar phase behavior and polymer morphologies as the comparable surfactant-free system, indicating the importance of the hydrotropic behavior of HEMA in this system.
