Porous silica materials can serve as hemostats, offering a promising approach to promote the coagulation speed. The pore structure of porous silica is a critical property, which may influence the hemostatic effectiveness, though its exact role in the hemostasis process remains unclear. Given that the key structural parameters of porous silica, including pore size, surface area, and pore volume, exhibited strong interrelationships that significantly influence each other, we prepared porous silica with pore sizes ranging from 2.5 to 50 nm to study their hemostatic effects by both in vitro and in vivo assessments. The results demonstrated that the mesoporous material MCM-41 with small pore size (2.5 nm) and high specific surface area exhibited superior contact activation capability to the coagulation pathway. In contrast, the macroporous siliceous foam (MSF) with large pore size (50 nm) and large pore volume showed enhanced absorption of blood cells and proteins. The mesoporous SBA-15 with pore size of 5.3 nm displayed intermediate properties between the two materials. The in vivo experiments showed that among the three kinds of porous silica, the MCM-41 provided the highest pro-coagulant capacity in the tail transection rat model with minor bleeding, and the MSF performed the best hemostatic effect in the femoral artery injury rat model with spurting hemorrhage. Our study elucidates the role of pore structure of porous silica as hemostats, which may give hint to the design of such materials.

Purpose The aim of this study was to improve the oral bioavailability and anti-inflammatory activity of the poorly soluble drug ibuprofen (IBU) by employing a new kind of poly(ethyleneimine)s (PEIs)-based mesocellular siliceous foam (MSF) called B-BMSF@PEI as drug carrier.Methods B-BMSF@PEI was biomimetically synthesized by using PEIs as templates, catalysts and scaffolds under ambient conditions, and the structural characteristics, including size, morphology, mesoscopic structure and pore properties, were estimated by TEM, SEM, FTIR and N2 desorption/adsorption measurement. Then, IBU was incorporated into B-BMSF@PEI at the drug:carrier weight ratio of 1:1. The structural features of IBU before and after drug loading were systemically characterized. IBU and B-BMSF@PEI were then subject to in vitro drug release study and wettability analysis. Finally, in vivo pharmacokinetics and anti-inflammatory pharmacodynamics studies were carried out to evaluate the efficacy of B-BMSF@PEI on improving the oral adsorption of IBU.Results The results demonstrated that B-BMSF@PEI was a meso–meso porous silica material with foam appearance. It consisted of uniform spherical cells (40 nm) with interconnected pore networks. IBU can be successfully loaded into B-BMSF@PEI with high efficiency (as high as 39.53%), and crystal IBU was effectively converted to an amorphous state during this process. Benefiting from the great architectures of B-BMSF@PEI, IBU/B-BMSF@PEI performed good wetting property and significantly improved the dissolution rate in both simulated gastric fluid (SGF) and simulated intestinal fluid (SIF). Notably, IBU exhibited very satisfactory relative bioavailability (681.4%) and anti-inflammatory effects (the inhibition rates were between the ranges of 113.5% to 1504.3%).Conclusion B-BMSF@PEI with bimodal mesoporous system and interconnected nanopores was obtained owing to the dynamic self-assembly functions of PEIs. It had superiority in drug loading and could improve the oral adsorption of ibuprofen to a satisfactory level.

The structure of basic lanthanum orotate (LaOr) were characterized by elemental analysis and infrared spectroscopy. The thermal stability of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) was further studied by Congo red method, oven discoloration method and thermogravimetric analysis. The results showed that LaOr could prolong the oven discoloration time of PVC, and the color was not completely blackened until 120 min. It has a good synergetic effect with dibenzoyl methane (DBM), and the best effect is achieved when LaOr/DBM ratio is 1.8/1.2. The thermal decomposition kinetics experiment showed that adding DBM can effectively improve the activation energy of PVC/LaOr. The stabilization mechanism of PVC was studied by absorbing HCl method and infrared spectroscopy. The results showed that LaOr could not only replace the unstable chlorine atoms on PVC, but also promote the long-term thermal stability of PVC by absorbing HCl.

(Sr1-xBax) 2(Nb0.9Ta0.1) 2O7 (SBNT) ceramics were prepared by solid state reaction. The crystal structure of SBNT ceramics, surface morphology and dielectric properties were studied using XRD, SEM and LCR instrument analyzer, respectively. The results show that the grain size decreases with increasing Ba concentration, and all samples show single phase, no second phase can been observed. Addition of Ba ion can improve the dielectric properties of SBN ceramics. The dielectric constant increases first, then decreases; the maximum value (εr=97) can be obtained at x=0.1, the dielectric constant changes slightly with increasing wide frequency.

Improving the mechanical properties and ultraviolet resistant properties of epoxy resin (EP) is attracting the scientists’ increasing interest in engineering industries at present. For this reason, novel Vi-POSS-TiO2/EPnanocomposites were prepared by incorporating nanotitanium dioxide (TiO2) and PSS-Octavinyl substituted (Vi-POSS) organic-inorganic hybridparticles into the epoxy resin. Filling up with TiO2 and Vi-POSS may create an inherent ultraviolet (UV) absorption property and mechanical property, respectively. The obtained composites were characterized by some standard analytical techniques such as UV-vis spectroscopy, Scanning electron microscope (SEM), and Thermal gravity analysis (TGA). When the content of TiO2was 1.5wt%, UV-vis absorption spectra showed that the excellent absorption properties of EP composites can be achieved. When the content of Vi-POSS was 6wt%, the values of bend strength and impact strength were improved 14.75%and37.94%, respectively. The TGA result showed that the thermal stability of EP composites varied in a small range before and after adding 6wt% Vi-POSS.

In this paper, low-temperature preparation of rice husk char/TiO2 composite was developed by utilizing agriculture waste. nanosized TiO2 particles were successfully loaded to rice husk char by in-situ thermal treatment of impregnated rice husk. The structural characteristics and photocatalytic activities of obtained composites were investigated. The specific surface area of rice husk char was enlarged due to the catalytic effect of loaded TiO2 during thermal treatment. The porous rice husk char matrix combined with nanosized TiO2 particles offered large specific surface area and good photocatalytic property. This low-temperature preparation method provided a promising way to reuse the waste biomass and extended the applications of charcoal.

Elimination of microorganisms from the root canal system and the prevention of subsequent reinfection are of importance for long-term endodontic treatment. The application of a sealer with antibacterial properties may reduce the reinfection and improve the success rate of the root filling treatment. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the antibacterial properties of a novel root canal sealer based on injectable self-curing polyurethane with silver phosphate (PU/Ag3PO4). The antibacterial abilities were assessed by direct contact test, anti-bacterial adhesion assay and bacteriostatic rate test. The results show that the fabricated PU/Ag3PO4 sealer can completely inhibit the bacterial growth and prevent bacterial adhension effectively. The bacteriostatic rate is 93.6% and 98.1% when the bacteria incubated with PU/Ag3PO4 sealer for 7 and 24h respectively. The strong antibacterial abilities suggest that PU/Ag3PO4 sealer has great application potential in the field of root canal filling.Key words: Root canal sealer, polyurethane, silver phosphate, antibacterial properties, direct contact test

Amine-modified solid sorbents have attracted extensive interests in post-combustion carbon capture for power plants. Among various amines, polyethyleneiemine (PEI) is likely to be the most effective and promising candidate. However, previous studies have mainly focused on examining various supports to increase PEI loading and then enhance CO2 adsorption capacity. In this study, one rare earth element (Ce) and 6 first-row transition metals (from V to Cu) in the oxidation states impregnated on PEI incorporated γ-Al2O3 were prepared and investigated as potential catalyst/promotor for base-catalyzed reaction. Thermodynamic analysis, including isothermal and quasi-static CO2 adsorption tests, were implemented to evaluate the performances amongst the 7 metal oxides. The results showed that MnO2, CeO2 and Fe2O3 showed a better performance in isothermal CO2 adsorption at 75°C. Upon quasi-static tests, the results also indicates that the peak adsorption temperatures (Tpeak, a) of V2O5 and Cr2O3 shifted to high temperature region, whilst opposite behavior of MnO2 was observed. In preliminary study, density functional theory (DFT) was also adopted to assist the screening of metal oxide in terms of bond length and adsorption energies.

A simple route has been developed for the synthesis of Ag2O/ZnO heterostructures and the samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy analysis. Considering the porous structure of Ag2O/ZnO, the photocatalytic degradation for the organic dyes, such as eosin red (ER), methyl orange (MO), methylene blue (MB) and rhodamine B (RhB), under visible light irradiation was investigated in detail. Noticeably, Ag2O/ZnO just took 40 min to degrade 96 % MB. The rate of degradation using the Ag2O/ZnO heterostructures was 2.3 times faster than that of the bare porous ZnO nanospheres under visible light irradiation due to that the recombination of the photogenerated charge was inhibited greatly in the p-type Ag2O and n-type ZnO semiconductor. So the Ag2O/ZnO heterostuctures showed the potential application on environmental remediation.

Wood plastic composite (WPC) has been rapidly developed because of its environmental friendliness and sustainability. In order to improve the interfacial compatibility between plant fiber and polypropylene (PP) matrix, three different cross-linking modification methods were used to treat corn straw fiber (CSF). These methods were glutaraldehyde/chitosan (GA/CS) crosslinking modification, KH560/chitosan crosslinking modification and glutaraldehyde/polyvinyl alcohol (GA/PVA) crosslinking modification. The characterization and the mechanical analysis of WPC showed that different cross-linking methods have different morphology on the surface of CSF. Compared with CSF-PP, the bending strength of GA/CS-CSF-PP and GA/PVA-CSF-PP were increased by 11.1% and 16.7%, respectively. This study provided appropriate methods to improve the interface compatibility between plant fiber and resin matrix.
