Summary: The study proposes electrospun nanofibrous polyimides enhanced with ion exchange properties as adsorptive membranes for dye-loaded textile wastewater treatment. By synthesizing carboxyl-functionalized porous polyimides and further decorating them with strong cation and anion exchange side groups, the membranes show promising potential in environmental applications. The results suggest that these membranes are promising candidates for the treatment of dye-laden wastewater due to their facile syntheses and unique properties.

Summary: In this study, weak polyelectrolyte adsorption on a strong cationic surface was investigated using constant pH Monte Carlo simulations. The results showed a non-monotonic behavior of PE adsorbed amount with pH, and the apparent pKa(0) value of PE chains varied with pH and surface coverage. Additionally, the replacement of small anions with PE chains and small cations at higher pH values led to a significant charge reversion on the surface when pH was greater than pKa(0) + 1.

Summary: Artificial bionic nanochannels with asymmetric surface charge were proposed and investigated for their ion enrichment effect. The results showed excellent ion enrichment performance, with an enrichment ratio of up to 1500 at an ion concentration of 0.01 mM, surpassing previous researches. It was observed that forward voltage bias led to ion enrichment, while reverse voltage bias resulted in ion depletion. The ion enrichment ratio was higher with larger voltage bias, absolute surface charge density, and smaller nanochannel height. Additionally, the ion enrichment performance was more sensitive to changes in charged wall length and less sensitive to changes in uncharged wall length. This research report provides important information and guidance for the design and optimization of ion enrichment performance.

Summary: Single-entity electrochemistry is a powerful technique for studying the interactions of nanoparticles at the liquid-solid interface. In this study, Faradaic processes in electrolytes of moderate ionic strength were used to induce electrokinetic transport and investigate its influence on nanoparticle impacts. By using an electrode array, the global electrokinetic transport characteristics could be adjusted while recording silver nanoparticle impacts. The findings suggest a potential-dependent micropumping effect and highlight the importance of electrolyte composition in particle oxidation and transport.

Summary: In this study, computer simulation was used to study the adsorption and diffusion of polyelectrolyte macromolecules on oppositely charged surfaces. The relationship between the ionization degree of the macromolecules, surface charge, and the coverage and charge of the adsorbed layer was investigated. The polymer diffusion within the adsorbed layers was also examined, taking into account its dependency on the surface coverage and macromolecular ionization degree. The findings provide valuable insights for the development of functional coatings.

Summary: Ag/AgCl hydrogel electrodes, which are wet electrodes, are commonly used for non-invasive bio-signal acquisition. However, due to limitations such as skin irritation, poor adhesion, and high cost, research on dry electrodes is ongoing. This study manufactured textile-type dry electrodes in film, embroidery, and knit forms, and compared their performance with wet electrodes. The results showed that the conductive sheet type electrode had similar performance to the wet electrode, while the embroidery electrodes manufactured with Em_MS had more stable EMG signal acquisition. The knit electrode, on the other hand, generated considerable noise due to the stretch characteristics of the knit structure. The study confirmed the applicability of textile-type dry electrodes and suggested the need for more precise parameter control in the future.

Summary: Poly(N,N-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) samples were successfully synthesized by radical polymerization. No clear relationship was found between polymerization conditions and the molecular weight of the polymer, possibly due to the branched configuration of the synthesized polymer. Bactericidal interactions were observed in all samples against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, but the intensity of the effect varied depending on the bacterial type and sample type.

Summary: This study synthesized biochar based on sapropel and investigated the effects of chemical modification on its textural characteristics, acid-base properties, and adsorption properties. The results showed that the chemical modification increased the fraction of micropores, specific surface area, and changed the surface properties of biochar. The experiment also revealed that biochar pretreated with alkali exhibited the maximum adsorption capacity for copper ions. A conceptual model identifying the mechanisms of copper adsorption on sapropel-based biosorbent was proposed.

Summary: The corrosion inhibitory potency of two new pyrimidine-pyrazole derivatives, PPA and PPC, was evaluated for mild steel in 1 M HCl. The results showed enhanced inhibition activities with increased concentration, reaching maximal values of 91.15% and 92.39% for PPA and PPC, respectively. However, the mitigation potency decreased with increasing temperature. SEM and XPS analysis revealed that PPA and PPC adsorbed on the mild steel surface, forming a shielding layer that prevented the dissolution of the steel in the acidic solution.

Summary: This study aims to develop a nano-biofungicide comprising of volatile essential oil molecules to enhance its efficacy in the field of agriculture through easily scalable green synthesis technique. The nano biofungicide was prepared through one pot hot melt ultrasonication technique with easy water dispersibility and long term stability. The physico-chemical analysis revealed that, nano bio-fungicides were amorphous sphere-shaped nanoparticles with low melting point. The encapsulation efficiency of major components of essential oil was determined, and it was found that they followed Higuchi model of release kinetics. The essential oil loaded nanostructured lipid carrier showed significantly higher mycelial growth inhibition compared to pure essential oil, indicating enhanced bio-efficacy.
