Summary: A sandwich-like structured nanocoating system was developed in this study to provide natural polymer fabrics with flame retardancy and wash durability through various interactions. The concentration of bPEI in the coating system affects the wash durability of the fabrics, with higher concentrations leading to better wash durability but also potentially sacrificing flame retardant performance. The systematic evaluations post washing demonstrate that the coating system can maintain a balance between wash durability and flame retardancy.

Summary: The treatment of real or synthetic industrial effluents and the study of photocatalysts have attracted a lot of attention from scientists. Among various metal oxide photocatalytic materials, narrow bandgap compounds are particularly significant for their suitable efficiency in optical applications. In this study, pristine ErVO4 was synthesized using the microwave-assisted method, with different solvents and power intensities employed for size and shape control. The properties of the samples, including phase purity, surface area, magnetic and optical features, were analyzed. Microwaves with a power of 900W and ethylene glycol solvent were found to be optimal conditions for generating uniform nanosized particles. The nanostructured ErVO4 was used as a catalyst for the decolorization of colored pollutants, showing high photocatalytic efficiency in experiments with different dye concentrations and catalyst loadings.

Summary: Recent years have witnessed the growing prominence of implants in the health field and the revival of damaged organs. Planktonic bacteria on the surface of implants pose risks of infections and biofilm formation, which can lead to severe pain and even death. The risk of infection after orthopedic surgery remains high. Biofilm infections destroy adjacent tissues and hinder antibiotic delivery, making treatment difficult. Topical drug delivery, using antibiotic-loaded implants, metallic and metal oxide nanoparticles, polymers, and antimicrobial peptides, offers promising solutions to reduce these risks.

Summary: In this study, a green chemistry method was used to synthesize ErFeO3/Fe3O4/rGO nanocomposite using sucrose as an active capping and reducing agent. Characterization techniques such as TEM, SEM, XRD, BET-BJH, VSM, and HRTEM were employed to analyze the nanocomposite. The results indicated that the nanocomposite exhibited pure particles with a size range of 37 +/- 2 nm, as validated by TEM examination. Furthermore, the synthesized nanocomposite showed significant anti-proliferative effects on T98 and SH-SY5Y cancer cell lines, suggesting its potential for inducing cancer cell death in vitro. However, further research is required to elucidate the underlying mechanisms.

Summary: With increased development and electricity generation, it is crucial to consider energy storage systems to overcome the discontinuity in renewable production. Hydrogen is an ideal energy carrier for future mobility, such as automotive applications. However, current hydrogen storage materials do not meet all requirements in terms of storage capacity and commercialization. Developing new materials with large surface area, homogeneous texture, active-conductive profiles, large oxygen vacancies, and low cost is crucial. Multiphase materials composed of these materials can meet the requirements in this field.

Summary: In this study, a type-I DyVO4/AgBr heterojunction was prepared using a simple and cost-effective co-precipitation method, exhibiting excellent performance as a photocatalyst for water treatment. The reaction temperature and molar ratios of H2Salen to dysprosium were found to significantly impact the morphology of the synthesized products. Comparative photodegradation experiments demonstrated that DyVO4/AgBr outperformed pure DyVO4 and AgBr under both UV and visible light, degrading 79.8% and 72.0% methylene blue, respectively, after 90 minutes of exposure. The kinetics study revealed that DyVO4/AgBr exhibited the highest rate constant (k = 0.0187 min-1) for photodegradation.
