Summary: Coatings with bioactive and biodegradable properties were fabricated using electrophoretic deposition with composite collagen, chitosan, and copper-doped phosphate glass. Variations in the coating composition were achieved by altering the concentrations of collagen and chitosan in the solutions, as well as by depositing phosphate glass with different levels of copper dopant. The ability to deposit these polymer-phosphate glass coatings offers potential for tailored orthopaedic implants with enhanced bioactivity and reduced risk of rejection.

Summary: In this study, a PTFE/Al/CuO organic-inorganic hybrid energetic film was successfully prepared for the first time using electrophoretic deposition. The addition of lithocholic acid as a surfactant enabled PTFE to be charged. The combustion process and energy release of PTFE/Al/CuO were found to be superior to Al/CuO due to the oxidability of PTFE accelerating the redox reaction between Al and CuO. This research sheds light on the preparation of fluoropolymer-containing organic-inorganic hybrid energetic films by one-step electrophoretic deposition.

Summary: This research studied the adsorption removal of the pesticide chlorpyriphos (CPE) from water using a novel adsorbent made of gamma-Fe2O3/Al-ZnO nanocomposite. The adsorption process was influenced by parameters such as pH, pesticide concentration, %Fe2O3 of the adsorbent, and adsorption time. The study found that the maximum removal of CPE occurred at neutral pH and the Freundlich model best fit the adsorption isotherm. The results suggest that the gamma-Fe2O3/Al-ZnO nanocomposite is effective for the removal of chlorpyriphos and could be a promising material for the removal of emerging pollutants in wastewater.

Summary: Recently, there has been a lot of interest in using fluoropolymers as oxidative binders and modifiers in Al-based metastable intermixed composites (MICs) due to their high heat of reaction and gas production characteristics. This study incorporated Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) into three typical Al-based MICs independently using different oxidizers. The experimental results showed that the addition of fluoropolymers significantly improved combustion heat, reduced the onset temperature of exothermic reaction, increased maximum pressure and pressurization rate, and decreased burn rates under confinement. The combustion products also exhibited smaller and more uniform particles.

Summary: The lack of water resources and the urgent need for oily wastewater treatment have caused catastrophic damage to ecosystems and the environment. However, the construction of a universal oil/water separator is challenging due to complex processes and difficulties in achieving large-scale production. To address this issue, this study designed two types of oil/water separators using low-cost metal meshes as raw materials. The newly synthesized stainless steel or copper mesh displayed excellent anti-wetting properties and maintained high oily wastewater remediation efficiency even after repeated separation cycles, making them economically viable for widespread application.

Summary: PTFE coatings were successfully prepared by electrophoretic deposition (EPD) strategy using a dispersion system of ethanol containing 0.05 g/L PEI + 0.1 mM nitric acid. The morphology of the PTFE coating was improved through a sintering post-treatment. The electrophoretic-sintered PTFE coating significantly enhanced the corrosion resistance of AZ31 alloys by reducing the corrosion current density and increasing the charge transfer resistance. Moreover, it may serve as a general anti-corrosion strategy for various metal materials.
