The organic solvent-based nitrocellulose (NC) coatings exhibit a high volatile solvent content, leading to significant environmental pollution. Whereas, existing waterborne NC-based coating have demonstrated poor water resistance and complex application methods. Therefore, this study aims to develop a green and highly water-resistant waterborne NC-based coating system utilizing a simple anti-solvent method with two environmentally friendly plasticizers , namely acetyl tributyl citrate (ATBC) and triethyl citrate (TEC), as film-forming additives. The dynamic light scattering (DLS) studies revealed that the particle size of NC-based nanoparticles increased with an increase in ATBC content, while it remained relatively constant with an increase in TEC content. Moreover, the particle size results demonstrated that the storage stability of aqueous dispersions containing NC/ATBC (NA) was superior to those containing NC/TEC (NT). Additionally, the physicochemical properties of aqueous dispersions-based films (N dis ), including film formation, hygroscopicity , water resistance, transparency, thermal stability, and mechanical properties were evaluated using solvent-based films (N sol ) as control samples. The results demonstrated that the N dis films exhibited a dense and uniform structure, with physical and chemical properties that were essentially comparable to those of N sol films. However, the mechanical properties of N dis films were somewhat influenced by the nanoparticle size, leading to reduced mechanical performance when the particle size of nanoparticles in the aqueous dispersion was excessively large. The equilibrium moisture content for NA and NT films were reduced to 1.119% and 1.872%, respectively, at a relative humidity of 95%, in comparison to pure NC films (3.975%). Simultaneously, water contact angle measurements indicated an increase from 77° for pure NC film to 89° for NA film and 82° for NT film. All films exhibited superior transparency characteristics. Overall, NA films display excellent water resistance and transparency as well as good mechanical properties.

The existence of an oxide (B 2 O 3 ) film covering the boron (B) surface affects its energy release during combustion. Fluoropolymer modification can help to solve the problem. The electrospinning and solvent anti-solvent methods were utilized to modify boron nanoparticles (n-B) using polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) as a modified material, which can effectively coat B particles. The thermal behavior, combustion characteristics, and condensed combustion products of the B/PVDF composites were investigated and evaluated. The agglomeration size of B particles can be decreased while its reaction heat and combustion intensity are increased. Significantly, the combustion performance of the B/PVDF composites prepared by the electrospinning method is better than that of the B/PVDF composite prepared by the solvent anti-solvent method. These results can be helpful in promoting the practical application of B.

H 2 TiO 3 is the most promising and highly selective lithium-ion sieve. In this study, HTO-PVC- x ( x = 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30) lithium-ion sieves were prepared via an antisolvent method using PVC as the matrix. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results showed that Li 2 TiO 3 was preferentially indexed to a C 2/ c monoclinic structure. LTO-PVC- x had a spherical size of 300 μm and an enormous specific surface area. The morphology and size of HTO-PVC- x obtained by HCl elution were consistent with those of LTO-PVC- x , indicating good separation and recycling properties. HTO-PVC-15 had a higher adsorption performance and adsorption capacity at a lower initial Li + concentration. The adsorption behaviour of HTO-PVC-15 is in accordance with the Langmuir isothermal model and pseudo-second-order model, which belongs to the chemical adsorption process . It reached 96% of its equilibrium adsorption capacity within 2 h. Simultaneously, it maintained high adsorption selectivity and cycling performance and a low Ti 4+ dissolution rate. Thus, HTO-PVC-15 has immense potential to be used for salt lake brine adsorption applications.

In this study, in order to solve the application problems of poor water solubility and low bioavailability of quercetin, we prepared a nano-delivery system with core-shell structure by anti-solvent method, including a hydrophilic shell composed of tea saponin and a hydrophobic core composed of Zein, which was used to improve the delivery efficiency and biological activity of quercetin. Through the optimal experiments, the loading rate and encapsulation rate of nanoparticles reached 89.41 % and 7.94 % respectively. And the water solubility of quercetin is improved by 30.16 times. At the same time, the quercetin acted with Zein through non-covalent interaction and destroyed its spatial network through structural characterization, while tea saponin covered the surface of Zein through electrostatic interaction, making it change into amorphous state. In addition, the addition of tea saponin makes the nanoparticles remain stable under the changes of external environment. During simulating gastrointestinal digestion procedure, ZQTNPs has higher release rate and bioavailability than free quercetin. Importantly, ZQTNPs can overcome the limitations of a single substance through synergy. These results will promote the innovative development of quercetin precision nutrition delivery system.
