Summary: This study presents a new strategy to achieve antibacterial and anti-biofouling behavior on commercial UF membranes without compromising their size selectivity and pure water permeance. By codepositing a strong antibacterial agent (CTAB) with dopamine onto the membrane surface in the presence of nitrogen gas backflow, the pore size and pure water permeance of the membrane remained unchanged. The results demonstrate that the membrane functionalized with CTAB at the critical micelle concentration exhibited the best anti-biofouling activity and retained its surface zeta potential even after being stored in a saline solution for 3 months.

Summary: Pure culture studies have shown that biofilm dispersal can be triggered by stopping the nutrient supply, providing a sustainable way to control unwanted biofilm growth in industrial settings. The response of multispecies biofilms to nutrient limitation has not been thoroughly studied. Flushing the biofilm after a stop-period can result in biomass removal, with flow velocity during flushing impacting the rate of removal.

Summary: The presence of high concentrations of heavy metals in water bodies poses serious environmental and health problems, leading to increased wastewater treatment costs. Low-cost and efficient technologies are needed to remove these contaminants. Ultrafiltration membranes (UF) have advantages in water treatment, but their performance in removing potentially toxic elements and fouling is not satisfactory. This review provides an overview of UF membrane application in removing potentially toxic elements and discusses different techniques to control fouling. Incorporating various nano-materials into polymers showed promising results in removing potentially toxic elements. The review also evaluates and compares materials based on their efficiency, toxicity, simplicity, popularity, and cost efficiency, and identifies challenges and limitations in the use of UF membranes.

Summary: The study developed a pH-triggered releasable and regenerable anti-biofouling system by self-assembling smart enzymatic nanomaterials onto a commercial membrane, which effectively reduced membrane biofouling for at least 45 days. The smart enzymatic particles exhibited strong noncovalent affinity-interactions with the membrane, generating an anti-biofouling layer without affecting membrane permeance. Furthermore, regeneration of the anti-biofouling layer was achieved by reloading fresh particles on the membrane in a simple manner, showcasing potential for long-term practical applications in the water industry.

Summary: Nanoplastics exposed to freeze-thaw cycles in cold climates tend to aggregate and have reduced mobility, especially at low ionic strengths, despite the presence of natural organic matter. While NOM can enhance nanoplastic mobility, it cannot prevent aggregation under freeze-thaw conditions.

Summary: Borate-based glasses have attracted great interest for wound healing applications due to their ability to incorporate therapeutic ions and release them at the repair site. Silver-doped borate glasses showed dose-dependent antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and were non-toxic to keratinocytes, promoting their growth and migration. Compositions containing 0.3 and 0.5 mol.% Ag significantly accelerated keratinocyte migration in an in vitro wound healing model.

Summary: An effective methodology is required to detect unlabeled microplastics in environmental samples in order to understand the biological impacts of plastic pollution. Current methods rely on digestion protocols which can result in the loss of spatial information and smaller plastics. The use of fluorescence microscopy for visualization is limited by nonspecific labeling strategies. A new method of nonspecific labeling with tissue-clearing technique is developed, allowing clear visualization of internalized microplastics. The method is demonstrated in living aquatic organisms and a model vertebrate.

Summary: In this study, we investigated the changes in physicochemical properties of polystyrene microplastics generated from a disposable cup due to UV-weathering, and their impact on microplastic transport potential and contaminant sorption ability in simulated freshwaters. UV exposure led to a decrease in microplastic hydrophobicity, increase in density, carbonyl index, and microscale roughness. Settling velocity also increased, indicating enhanced deposition to sediments. Weathered microplastics showed reduced sorption capacity for a hydrophobic contaminant compared to unaged ones. These findings provide new insights into the risks and behavior of microplastics in aquatic environments.

Summary: New iron grafted cellulose fibers were developed for wastewater treatment to improve removal of contaminants. These fibers increased floc size and allowed for compact screening technology instead of settling tanks. When combined with a coagulant and flocculant, the fibers significantly increased nanoplastics removal and removed a high percentage of BTEX contaminants. Additionally, the fibers were washable and reusable, reducing operational costs and providing environmental benefits.

Summary: In this study, the influence of transition metal doping on the electronic and mechanical properties and electrochemical performance of 2HMoS2/NC was investigated using Cobalt (Co) as an example. Co doping was found to effectively improve the electronic conductivity and active site areas of 2H-MoS2/NC at different positions, optimizing the adsorption and diffusion capability of potassium ions. Furthermore, the study revealed the optimal roles of different types of nitrogen atoms in kinetic adsorption, diffusion, and interfacial stability of potassium ions. These findings provide guidance for the experimental design of high rate 2H-MoS2/NC electrode materials and the optimal design of other functional composite materials.

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.
