Li1+xAlxTi2–x(PO4)3 (LATP) is a NASICON-type solid electrolyte that presents stability in aqueous media and high ion conductivity. With these advantages, it is expected to be used as a cathode and separator coating material for lithium-ion batteries to improve battery performance. However, it also displays a high level of residual moisture introduction due to its strong water absorption. Meanwhile, LATP particle size is a key influential factor for the residual moisture level and thereby produces an impact on the battery performance. In this research, we prepared three different particle sizes of LATP (100, 500, and 1000 nm) to investigate their effects as separator coatings on residual moisture and NCM811 battery performance. The results indicate that the water absorption of LATP is much higher than that of Al2O3 with the same particle size; the use of nanoscale LATP keeps the residual moisture of the LATP/PE separator rather high. When the particle size is in the range of 100–1000 nm, the battery’s cycling performance gradually deteriorates with the decrease of the particle size, among which the degradation of rate performance is more noticeable. More importantly, the research finds that LATP particles coated with polydopamine (PDA) can effectively reduce the coating’s residual moisture. After being coated with PDA, LATP particles with a particle size of 1000 nm result in the residual moisture content within the composite separator decreasing from 2136 to 408 ppm, thereby contributing to the optimal performance of NCM811||Li and NMC811||C batteries.

Water residue and replacement difficulty cause insufficient adhesive infiltration in demineralized dentin matrix (DDM), which produces a defective hybrid layer and thus a bonding durability problem, severely plaguing adhesive dentistry for decades. In this study, we propose that the unique properties of a highly hydrated interface of the porous DDM can give rise to 1 new type of interface, confined liquid water, which accounts for most of the residue water and may be the main cause of insufficient infiltration. To prove our hypothesis, 3 metal ions with increasing binding affinity and complex stability (Na+, Ca2+, and Cu2+) were introduced respectively to coordinate negatively charged groups such as -PO43−, -COO− abundant in the DDM interface. Strong chelation of Ca2+ and Cu2+ rapidly released the confined water, significantly improving penetration of hydrophobic adhesive monomers, while Na+ had little effect. A significant decrease of defects in the hybrid layer and a much decreased modulus gap between the hybrid layer and the adhesive layer greatly optimized the microstructure and micromechanical properties of the tooth–resin bonding interface, thus improving the effectiveness and durability of dentin bonding substantially. This study paves the way for a solution to the core scientific issue of contemporary adhesive dentistry: water residue and replacement in dentin bonding, both theoretically and practically.

Pesticide residues may enter the human body through the food chain when livestock and poultry consume pesticide-contaminated feed. Therefore, monitoring and limiting pesticide residues in animal feed and animal-origin foods is necessary. Carbendazim is one of the most frequently detected pesticides in food and feed and has various toxic effects on non-target animals. This study investigated the effects of varying concentrations of carbendazim contamination in feed on broiler chicken growth performance, serum biochemical indicators, histopathology, and carbendazim residues in broiler muscles and livers. The results demonstrated that contamination of 5–100 mg/kg carbendazim in feed did not affect broiler growth performance or health. Carbendazim contamination in feed at 200–800 mg/kg slightly reduced growth performance. Broiler kidneys showed minor histopathological alterations after 400 mg/kg carbendazim exposure. Furthermore, when the carbendazim content in feed was less than 25 mg/kg, the residual carbendazim in the muscles and livers of broilers did not exceed the maximum residue level set by the European Union and China. Based on the above findings, carbendazim residues in the feed of less than 25 mg/kg can be considered safe for chicken products.

Silica/PEG200 shear thickening fluids (STFs) are widely used smart fluids. There is often residual water during the STF preparation process because of the strong water adsorbability due to the abundant hydroxyl group on the silica surface. Residual water usually influences the shear-thickening behavior of STFs. How much influence the residual water has during the preparation processes on the properties of STFs is still a problem. In this paper, six preparation processes were designed, and the influence of residual water content on the shear thickening behavior due to different preparation processes is analyzed. Firstly, three drying processes were used to prepare STFs, i.e., three kinds of silica powder, which were obtained from spray, freeze, or oven drying of the silica dispersion, were dispersed in PEG200 to obtain STFs. Secondly, three wet processes were used to prepare STFs, i.e., three kinds of silica slurry, which were obtained by centrifuging and washing through water, ethanol, or tetrahydrofuran of the silica dispersion, were directly dispersed into PEG200 and dried to obtain STFs. All the silica dispersion used in these six preparation processes was prepared using the Stöber method. The properties, microstructure, and residual water content of the STFs prepared by the six preparation processes were explored. The results showed that the preparation processes have a big influence on the properties of related STFs. The silica’s residual water content derived from different preparation processes is the critical factor that affects STFs’ shear thickening performance. The drying process using silica powder from spray drying of the silica dispersion resulted in the lowest water content and led to the best shear-thickening performance of the corresponding STFs. Meanwhile, the wet process using a slurry obtained by centrifuging and washing through tetrahydrofuran of the silica dispersion could also prepare STFs with good shear thickening behavior.

Diethylstilbestrol (DES) is used as a kind of animal feed additive and affects people’s health through the food chain. The purpose of this study is to detect the residue level of DES in 576 human urine samples directly. DES-BSA was used to immunize Balb/c mice. The monoclonal antibody was produced by hybridoma that was screened through cell fusion techniques. Finally, we developed the indirect competitive ELISA method to analyze 576 human urine samples from Zhejiang Province, China. The IC 50 of this method was 3.33 ng/mL. The LOD and LOQ were 0.16 and 0.54 ng/mL. Linear range of the standard curve was from LOD to 12.50 ng/mL. There was no cross-reactivity with two kinds of estrogens and two structural analogs with DES. Five hundred seventy-six urine samples were analyzed by the indirect competitive ELISA method, and the detection rate was 98.78%. The mean concentration and geometric mean were 4.70 and 3.50 ng/mL. The indirect competitive ELISA method based on monoclonal antibody was sensitive and reliable for the detection of DES in human urine samples. The results warned us to pay more attention to human health and food safety.

BACKGROUND Alternaria can infest pears to produce metabolites, which can contaminate pears and their processed products. Pear paste, one of the most important pear-based products, is popular among Chinese consumers especially for its cough relieving and phlegm removal properties. Although people are concerned about the risk of Alternaria toxins in many agro-foods and their products, little is known about the toxins in pear paste. RESULTS A method was developed for the determination of tenuazonic acid, alternariol, alternariol menomethyl ether, altenuene and tentoxin in pear paste by ultra-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry with saturated sodium sulphate dissolution and acidified acetonitrile extraction. The mean recoveries of the five toxins were 75.3–113.8% with relative standard deviations of 2.8–12.2% at spiked levels of 1.0–100 μg kg −1 . Alternaria toxins were detected in 53 out of 76 samples, with a detection rate of 71.4%. Tenuazonic acid (67.1%), alternariol (35.5%), tentoxin (23.7%) and alternariol monomethyl ether (7.9%) were detected in all samples at concentrations of < limit of quantification (LOQ)–105.0 μg kg −1 , < LOQ–32.1 μg kg −1 , < LOQ–74.2 μg kg −1 and < LOQ–15.1 μg kg −1 , respectively. Altenuene was never found in pear paste samples. Tenuazonic acid, alternariol, tentoxin and alternariol menomethyl ether should be focused on due to their toxicity and detection rates. CONCLUSION To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the detection method and residue levels of Alternaria toxins in pear paste. The proposed method and research data can provide technical support for the Chinese government to continuously monitor and control Alternaria toxins in pear paste, especially tenuazonic acid. It can also provide a useful reference for related researchers. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Dissipative behavior and final residue levels of difenoconazole, prochloraz, propiconazole, and pyraclostrobin in figs were investigated using field trials and laboratory assays. A three-factor, three-level orthogonal test was designed to optimize the pretreatment conditions of the method. A method was established using high-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry for the determination of difenoconazole, prochloraz, propiconazole, and pyraclostrobin residues in figs. The limit of quantification for all four targets in figs was 0.002 mg/kg. Difenoconazole, prochloraz, propiconazole, and pyraclostrobin are readily digestible pesticides in figs with half-lives of 6.4, 6.2, 4.8, and 7.9 days, respectively. Residues of difenoconazole, prochloraz, propiconazole, and pyraclostrobin in figs were below the European Union established residue levels of 0.1, 0.03, 0.01, and 0.02 mg/kg, respectively, at day 7 after application. Pyraclostrobin, propiconazole, difenoconazole, and prochloraz were applied twice at doses of 75, 125, 150, and 200 mg a.i./kg at 7-day intervals, and the residues of the four fungicides in figs were acceptable 7 days after the last application. Therefore, the safety interval can be set at 7 days for 70% difenoconazole-prochloraz wettable powder and 40% pyraclostrobin-propiconazole aqueous emulsion according to the protocol.

Salbutamol (SAL) is used to promote animal growth, because it increases feeding efficiency and carcass lean percentage. SAL has been banned in many countries because of the potential hazard to human health. To investigate the SAL residue level in humans, a sensitive direct competitive ELISA was developed. Under the optimal experimental conditions, the limit of detection (LOD) for the assay was 0.01 ng mL−1, and the standard curve was constructed at concentrations of 0.01–100 ng mL−1. We used the developed assay to detect the urinary concentration of SAL in 1648 participants. SAL was detected in 96% of participants with a concentration ranging from the LOD to 30.83 ng mL−1. Pregnant women were found to have a lower SAL concentration than non-pregnant women. Sources of exposure, risk assessment and measures for reducing the exposure level require further investigation.

To determine furaltadone metabolites 5-methylmorpholino-3-amino-2-oxazolidinone (AMOZ) residual levels in ctenopharyngodon idellus, direct competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (dcELISA) was developed based on a single-chain variable fragment (scFv)-alkaline phosphatase (AP) fusion protein. Firstly, VH and VL gene sequences were cloned from hybridoma cell lines secreting monoclonal antibody against AMOZ derivative, and then the productive VH and VL genes were assembled to a scFv gene and engineered to produce scFv-AP fusion protein. The fusion protein was further identified as a bifunctional reagent for immunoassay, then a sensitive one-step dcELISA against AMOZ derivative was developed with a half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) and limit of detection (LOD) of 10.62 and 4.83 ng/mL, respectively. The recovery values of AMOZ from spiked fish samples determined by dcELISA were in 71.31%∼82.88%. The results suggested that the prepared scFv-AP fusion protein in this work can be used for rapid and convenient immunoassays to detect AMOZ residues in fish samples.

TPU and flame-retardant TPU (FR-TPU) were prepared through a polyaddition reaction with polytetramethylene ether glycol (PTMEG) and 4,4′-methylene-bisphenyl-isocyanate (MDI) by reactive extruding. 1,4-Butanediol (BDO) and diethyl bis(2-hydroxyethyl) amino methyl phosphonate (DBAMP) were used as the chain extender in different ratios, respectively, to obtain TPU and flame-retardant TPU (FR-TPU)with adjusted molecular weight and mechanical properties. The resulting TPU and FR-TPU were characterized by FTIR, DSC, TGA, and NMR. A kinetic model based on the data from extrusion process was used to depict the polymerization of TPU. These reactions carried out without any solvent and the residual water showed that the polymerization with BDO could be achieved in 20 minutes, instead, that with DBAMP in 55 minutes while with a similar molecular weight. These results point out that Twin Screw Extrusion Reaction (TSER) is a suitable and convenient way to produce a variety of polymers.
