This paper presents a one-step procedure for the facile synthesis of monodisperse raspberry-like polymer colloidal particles by soap-free emulsion polymerization of styrene (S), acrylic acid (AA), and 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate (MPS). In this method, when S, AA, and MPS are mixed with water and stirred at a certain temperature, raspberry-like P(S–MPS–AA) colloidal particles with uniform shapes and sizes could be obtained in a reliable manner. Both the core particles and the smaller corona particles of core surfaces were formed in situ. A mechanism of formation based on the second nucleation induced by MPS-enriched segments on the core surfaces is proposed.

Rapid development of diffusion dialysis based on anion exchange membranes (AEMs) established its prominent significance as a leading candidate in the field of separation science and technology. AEM-based diffusion dialysis (DD) processes intended to acid recovery have generated much interest due to their exclusive selectivity. Here, we report the effects of novel Poly(DMAEM-co-γ-MPS)-based AEMs for DD applications (acid recovery). Free radical polymerization was successfully done with the initiator azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) to achieve the desired polymer Poly(DMAEM-co-γ-MPS). Finally, quaternization with EPTAC and methyl iodide was done to make the membrane matrix charged. The dosage of Poly(DMAEM-co-γ-MPS) inside membrane matrix plays a crucial role to determine the physiochemical and electrochemical properties of the prepared membranes. The influence of Poly(DMAEM-co-γ-MPS) on the acid recovery behavior of the membranes was explored in detail. The prepared membranes displayed high thermo-mechanical stability. At 25 °C, the acid dialysis coefficient (U H ) values were between 0.016–0.029 m/h, while the separation factors (S) ranged from 23.3 to 87.7. Both the acid recovery (7.25 times) and separation factors (~3.6 times) are much higher than the commercial fiber supported anion exchange membrane DF-120B (U H and S=0.004 m/h and 24.3, respectively). Prepared AEMs are the potent candidate for acid recovery via diffusion dialysis. The highlight of this work is the fabrication of new AEMs, which shows high acid dialysis performance and selectivity.

In this work, functionalized cellulose nanocrystal (fCNC) was obtained by the grafting of 3-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane coupling agent (γ-MPS) onto CNC. Then acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) incorporated with various contents of CNC or fCNC was successfully synthesized by an in-situ emulsion polymerization , and the effects of CNC or fCNC on the sol molecular weight, latex properties, thermal properties, viscoelastic properties, and adhesive performance of the acrylic PSA were investigated. The results illustrated a coinstantaneous improvement of tack, shear strength and peel strength with increasing the loading of both CNC and fCNC. Interestingly, fCNC showed much more improvement than CNC on adhesive performance of acrylic PSA. The fCNC-1/acrylic PSA showed tack of 27#, shear strength of 70 h, and peel strength of 13.4 N/25mm, which were 12.5%, 4%, and 106% higher than those of CNC-1/acrylic PSA and 35%, 100%, and 163% higher than those of neat acrylic PSA, respectively. The superior adhesive performance of the fCNC/acrylic PSA films was supposed to be attributed to better compatibility and dispersion of fCNC in the acrylic copolymer. Thus, this work presents a feasible strategy for utilization of CNC in adhesives and coatings.

A novel magnetic fluorescent nanoprobe (Fe3O4@ZnS@MPS(MFNPs)) was synthesized, which recognized and cooperated with Ag+ions, and a rapid method for detecting Ag+was established in solution. It was found by fluorescence spectroscopy analysis that the MFNPs could detect Ag+in PBS solution and, upon addition of Ag+ions, the fluorescence (FL) of MFNPs could be quenched significantly. The sensor has a low limit of detection (LOD) of 7.04 µM for Ag+. The results showed that MFNPs were extremely specific and sensitive for the quantitative detection of Ag+over a wide pH range. Then, the recognition mechanism between MFNPs and guest Ag+was explored via measures of infrared spectroscopy and electron microscopy. It was speculated that the oxygen atoms in the sulfonic acid group cooperated with Ag+to form a synergistic complexation. The assay was successfully used to determine the content of Ag+ in real samples.Keywords:magnetic fluorescent nanosensor;selective recognition;silver ion;3-sulfhydryl-1-propane sodium (MPS)

Various biological barriers hinder the effective use of administered nanoparticles, with the mononuclear phagocyte system (MPS) being a major obstacle to their in vivo efficacy. Glucose metabolism is an important factor for macrophages to perform MPS clearance in vivo. In this study, energy metabolism-blocking nanoparticles PEG-S-S-PLA@RGD @Dox@BAY876 (RPDB NPs) were developed to change drug distribution in the body, improving the efficacy of chemotherapy. First, BAY876 showed an excellent inhibition effects on macrophage energy metabolism in vitro. This inhibitory behavior of energy metabolism reduced the aggregation of nanoparticles in macrophages. Similarly, the migration capacity of macrophages was also limited by reduced energy metabolism. Second, the fluorescence distribution in the mice also showed that the fluorescence intensity of RPDB NPs in the liver was about 40% of that of RPD NPs, suggesting that reducing energy metabolism helps to downregulate the uptake of mononuclear phagocytic cell (MPS), and change the distribution of the drug in vivo. Furthermore, anti-tumor effects of RPDB NPs were evaluated both in vivo and in vitro. In vivo, RPDB nanomicelles inhibited breast cancer by up to 68.3%, higher than other administration groups. Moreover, the pathological section of tumor exhibited a significantly greater increase in cell apoptosis in RPDB NPs group. Hence, inhibition of macrophage energy metabolism is a promising approach to eliminate MPS effects, while also opening up a new window for the effective inhibition of tumors development and metastasis.

Raspberry-like polymer/inorganic compound hybrid colloidal spheres have attracted tremendous interest owing to their many potential applications, but most of them are concentrated on synthesis methods, controlling structures and morphologies. Herein, we synthesize raspberry-like poly(ethyl methacrylate)/SiO 2 colloidal spheres and further graft a hydrophilic diblock copolymer on the SiO 2 nanoparticles. The obtained copolymer-grafted hybrid sphere-based coatings are robust and display excellent underwater superoleophobic and anti-biofouling performances as well as self-repairing ability.

Microplastics (MPs) and chromium (Cr) are common pollutants in wastewater treatment plants, where ultraviolet disinfection processes may degrade MPs and photooxidize Cr(III) into more hazardous Cr(VI). In this study, the effects of MPs on the phototransformation of coexisting Cr, as well as the role and ecological effects of MPs-derived dissolved organic matter (MPs-DOM), were investigated. The photooxidation of MPs and Cr(III) was radical-driven reaction. The addition of MPs inhibited the photooxidation of Cr(III) and induced the photoreduction of Cr(VI) through surface adsorption. Both MPs and MPs-DOM generated comparable ROS at different irradiation moments, which can affect the photodegradation of MPs and MPs-DOM, as well as the phototransformation of Cr. The 56-day incubation showed a higher mineralization ratio of MPs-DOMs than riverine humic acid, indicating the vital contribution of MPs-DOMs to carbon emissions. In general, MPs-DOM lowered microbial abundance and diversity compared to the original inoculum. Bacterial and fungal succession was affected by both MPs-DOM and the original inoculum, with polyvinyl chloride-derived DOM possessing a stronger filtration impact on microbial communities than the other three MPs-DOMs. In this study, a win–win solution for Cr(VI) reduction and MPs treatment through photoirradiation was proposed, and the potential significant role of MPs-DOM in the transformation of coexisting contaminants, the carbon cycle, and microbial succession was highlighted.

The serious environmental issue caused by the rising levels of microplastics (MPs) pollution has aroused much more attention globally, therefore, an effective strategy needs to be established to eliminate MPs from the water. Herein, we first report the preparation of membranes based on holey reduced graphene oxide (h-rGO) nanosheets for efficient removal of MPs in wastewater. Compared with those untreated rGO, the h-rGO nanosheets show a porous structure with an average size of 27.3 nm, which is a benefit for construction membrane for separation of MPs with better water flux (37.19 L m −2 h −1 kPa −1 ). Employing the fluorescent polystyrene (FP) microspheres and PS beads as model MPs, the as-resulted h-rGO membranes exhibit extremely high MPs removal efficiency of 99.9%. In the case of treatment of the industrial MPs containing wastewater, almost all MPs could be captured by the h-rGO membranes which were confirmed by stereomicroscope. Taking advantage of their physicochemical stability and exceptional MPs removal efficiency, the h-rGO membranes may have great potentials for the removal of MPs in wastewater.

MPs can adsorb antibiotics to coexist and accumulate in the aquatic environment in the form of complexes, resulting in unforeseeable adverse consequences. The adsorption behavior and mechanism of three antibiotics amoxicillin (AMX), ciprofloxacin (CIP), and tetracycline (TC) by four MPs Polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polystyrene (PS), polypropylene (PP), and polyethylene (PE) were studied. Results showed that the adsorption of antibiotics onto MPs follows the pseudo-second-order kinetic and the Freundlich isotherm model, indicating a multilayer chemical adsorption. Combined with FTIR , XRD, and SEM analyses, the adsorption behavior was simultaneously governed by physical processes. Additionally, the equilibrium adsorption capacity was inhibited in the research concentration range of NaCl from 10 mg/L to 10 g/L. The higher the salt concentration, the more pronounced the inhibition phenomenon was. The high (9) and low (3) pH also inhibited the adsorption of antibiotics to MPs. The humic acid (HA) concentration in the range of 0–20 mg/L generally inhibited the MPs-antibiotics adsorption, but the higher HA concentration showed less inhabitation than the lower one. The adsorption inhibition of TC on the four MPs by SA also followed the above rule. However, the adsorption inhibition of sodium alginate (SA) on AMX and CIP on the four MPs was enhanced with its concentration (0–50 mg/L).

A new type of low gloss waterborne self-matting acrylate polymer with core-shell structure was successfully synthesized. The organosilane ϒ-methacryloxy propyl trimethoxyl silane (ϒ-MPS) was used as a crosslinking agent, which can control and modulate the surface micro-roughness of acrylate polymer films. The self-matting acrylate polymer has good latex stability containing no external powdery matting agent. In particular, the gloss value can reach as low as 6.3 units at an incident of 60° when the amount of ϒ-MPS is 7% based on the total mass of the shell monomer. Moreover, the main factors affecting glossiness, such as crosslinking degree, surface roughness, migration of organosilicon moieties to the surface and phase separation, were studied in detail. The observation by scanning electron microscope and atomic force microscope indicated that the surface roughness was elevated with the increase of the ϒ-MPS content. Besides, the transmission electron microscope observation and differential scanning calorimeter analysis revealed that the acrylate polymers displayed microphase separation behavior, which combined with the surface roughness could increase the scattered and diffused lights, thereby endowing the coating with the matte effect. In addition, due to the incorporation of ϒ-MPS, the crosslinking density and hydrophobicity increased, and thereby thermal stability, tensile strength and water resistance of the films were also improved. Therefore, this work provides practical prospects for the industrial application of organosilicon modified acrylate polymer in the field of matte coatings.

Isolation of high-quality DNA is one of the essential steps in the field of molecular biology. Before DNA isolation, ribonuclease A (RNase) has to be introduced to degrade RNA. However, RNase needs to be stored at low temperature, and the conditions for the degradation of RNA need to be strictly controlled. In the study, graphene oxide functionalized magnetic particles (GO-MPs) were prepared and used for RNA removal. GO-MPs demonstrate good environmental stability. The RNA removing process by GO-MPs can be finished in 10 min at room temperature. Also, GO-MPs exhibit good selectivity toward RNA over double-stranded DNA. Next, the spherical and core–shell structure poly(3,4-dihydroxy-L-phenylalanine) functionalized MPs (polyDOPA-MPs) were prepared and used for the purification of DNA. The DNA adsorption and release can be realized by adjusting the pH value of solutions. It is worth emphasizing that the condition for RNA removal by GO-MPs is the same as that for DNA adsorption by polyDOPA-MPs, which ensures the effective connection between the two steps. The feasibility of the MPs-based protocol was verified by the successful extraction of genomic DNA from Escherichia coli DH5α and genetically modified corn. The results suggest that the protocol would provide a promising platform for RNase-free RNA removal and DNA purification from bacteria and plant seeds.

Microplastics (MPs) that accumulate in natural water bodies through various pathways inevitably undergo aging and biofilm attachment. These variations can alter the physicochemical properties of the MPs and thus affect their abilities to adsorb other pollutants. In this study, we chose virgin polyethylene (V-PE) as the experimental MP and generated aged, biofilm-developed and biofilm-developed with aged polyethylene (A-PE, B-PE and B-A-PE) via Fenton advanced oxidation and lake water incubation methods. Then, the adsorption of tetracycline hydrochloride (TC-HCl) and cefalexin (CFX) on V-PE, A-PE, B-PE and B-A-PE was investigated. The results showed that the capacities for adsorption of TC-HCl or CFX on the four polyethylene MPs (PEMPs) increased in the order V-PE < A-PE < B-PE < B-A-PE. The order was attributed to differences in the surface roughnesses , crystallinities , surface functional groups and biofilm biomass of the four PEMPs. Kinetic experiments and isotherms indicated that nonlinear multilayer adsorption occurred via physicochemical actions, such as diffusion, hydrophobic interactions, hydrogen bonding interactions, electrostatic interactions and biodegradation. Specifically, the adsorption of TC-HCl or CFX by V-PE and A-PE was predominantly controlled by diffusion, whereas B-PE and B-A-PE were chemically active. In addition, it is worth noting that biofilms may shield antibiotics from electrostatic interactions with the B-PE and B-A-PE surfaces, and an increase in ionic strength inhibited the adsorption of TC-HCl and CFX by the four PEMPs. Our study provides an important reference for determining the adsorption of antibiotics by MPs in natural waters.
