Summary: This study aimed to improve the properties of soy protein isolate (SPI)-based films by blending nano-TiO2 particles with SPI. The addition of nano-TiO2 (3% w/w SPI) significantly enhanced the color and ultraviolet-shielding properties, hydrophobicity, tensile strength, and reduced water vapor permeability of the SPI film. Additionally, nano-TiO2 exhibited concentration- and time-dependent bacteriostatic effects on Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Bacillus cereus (B. cereus).

Summary: This study designs ZnO nanoparticles by coating them with hydroxyapatite (HA) and (3-aminopropyl) triethoxysilane (KH550) and then compounding them with polyvinyl chloride (PVC). The microstructure and properties are analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), and UV spectrophotometer. The results show that the composite films have good UV-shielding abilities and help reduce the damage of PVC upon exposure or heat. This work provides new means to make PVC composites with superior UV-shielding properties.

Summary: The study evaluated the effect of crosslinking density of an acrylic-melamine clearcoat on water vapor transmission rate. It was found that factors such as surface hydrophilicity and molecular homogeneity also had a crucial impact on the clearcoat water vapor transmission rate. Surprisingly, samples with acrylic resin with less OH content and lower melamine-formaldehyde crosslinker had the lowest water vapor transmission rate.

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.
