Thermosensitive conducting composite particles were synthesized using the unsulfonated P(St-NIPAm) as a thermosensitive substrate. A series of characterizations have been performed to study the effects of thermosensitive PANI@poly (St-NIPAm) conductivity performance. Aniline diffused into P(St-NIPAm) particles in solution, and then polyaniline (PANI) was in-situ produced in P(St-NIPAm) particles through oxidation polymerization. The samples showed different particle sizes at different temperatures. The content of conducting polyaniline is dependent on NIPAm feed ratios. The particle electrical conductivity was improved with the increasing NIPAM feed ratios and exhibited thermal responsive electrical conductivity. The thermosensitive conducting composite particles will have wide applications in sensors, for example, they could be used to fabricate smart conductive gel responsive to temperature and moisture.

In this article, magnetic P (St-DVB)/Fe 3 O 4 microspheres with hollow and porous structure were successfully fabricated by a seed swelling polymerization process for fast and selective absorption of oils from water surface. These microspheres, with unsinkable, magnetic, hydrophobic and oleophilic properties, were used to absorb different oils up to 8.42 times of the particles’ weight while repelling water completely. More importantly, the oil-absorbed microspheres could be removed from water surface efficiently via introducing an external magnetic field. This material also shows excellent reusability after washing with ethanol and the oil-absorption capacity of the material was not sharply reduced even after the 10th cycle. The discoveries presented in this study might provide a low-cost, effective, and environmental-friendly approach for the clean-up of oils and organic solvents on the water.

The composite particles (St/Fe3O4) of starch and Fe3O4 were prepared by a co-precipitation method. Then AA and HEMA were grafted and cross-linked on St/Fe3O4 by a one-step method to obtain St/Fe3O4-g-p(AA-r-HEMA). The effects of the adsorbent dosage, pH value, initial Cu(II) concentration, time and temperature on adsorption were studied. Experiments showed that St/Fe3O4-g-p(AA-r-HEMA) showed a good adsorption performance for Cu(II), with a unit adsorption capacity of 75.5 mg g−1 and a maximum removal rate of 95.0%. The adsorption process followed the Langmuir model and the pseudo-second-order kinetic model, was dominated by chemical adsorption, and belonged to single-layer adsorption. Renewable performance studies showed that after 8 adsorption cycles, 91.2% of the first adsorption effect was still retained.

Patterned photonic crystals with structural colors on textile substrates have attracted a special attention due to the great advantages in application, which currently become a research hot-spot. This study utilized an ink-jet printing technology to prepare high-quality photonic crystal patterns with structural colors on polyester substrates. The self-assembly temperature of poly(styrene-N-methylol acrylamide) (P(St-NMA)) microspheres set to construct photonic crystals were deeply optimized. Moreover, the structural colors of prepared photonic crystal patterns were characterized and evaluated. When the mass fraction of P(St-NMA) microspheres was 1.0 wt.%, the pH value ranged from 5 to 7, and the surface tension was in the range of 63.79 to 71.20 mN/m, inks could present the best print performance. At 60 °C, prepared P(St-NMA) microsphere inks were good for printing to obtain patterned photonic crystals with regular arrangement and beautiful structural colors. Specifically, photonic crystals with different colors could be constructed by regulating the diameter of microspheres in inks, and prepared structural colors exhibited distinct iridescent phenomenon. The present results could provide a theoretical basis for the industrial realization of patterned photonic crystals by ink-jet printing technology.

Alginate microcapsule is widely used to encapsulate and protect lactic acid bacteria (LAB). This study aims to design microcapsules with different mechanical strength and clarify their protecting mechanism for Lactobacillus plantarum ST-III under simulated digestive conditions through physical and physiological analysis. By controlling viscosity and gelling ability of alginate solution, a series of microcapsules with the same particle size (ca. 400 μm) and varying mechanical strength (5.4–51.9 N) were prepared. Cell survivals in simulated gastric juice (SGJ) and bile salts (BS) were found to be positively correlated with the mechanical strength of microcapsules. Diffusion experiments using different probes showed that the permeability coefficients of the microcapsules decreased with increasing mechanical strength. Moreover, membrane integrity and membrane fluidity of encapsulated LAB in SGJ were reduced to a less extent and tended to maintain at normal physiological values, with increasing mechanical strength. In contrast, cell membrane integrity was much more reduced (<4.0%) and membrane fluidity was markedly augmented in BS, regardless of the mechanical strength of microcapsules, indicating seriously damaged cells with abnormal physiological properties. These physical and physiological indexes together manifested the protection mechanism of alginate microcapsules with different mechanical strength for LAB.

In the global energy landscape, the development of desert oil in Africa has increased the diversity of world oil supply and helped maintain the balance of the global energy market. However, wax precipitation and asphaltene deposition cause numerous challenges during the recovery and pipeline transportation of African crude oil. Traditional linear polymer additives often have limited wax-modifying and asphaltene-dispersing efficiency. In this work, linear poly(octadecyl acrylate-styrene) (POA-St) and a series of star POA-St copolymers with different arm numbers (3, 4, and 6) were synthesized through reversibly additive fragment chain transfer polymerization. The effects of the linear and star POA-St on the wax precipitating properties, pour point, rheology, and asphaltene stability of African waxy crude oil were studied in detail. The star POA-St copolymers show superior performance compared with linear polymers in inhibiting wax crystal formation, improving crude oil rheology, and stabilizing asphaltene. Increasing the arm number of star POA-St greatly improves its performance. Star POA-St-6 reduces the wax appearance temperature of the crude oil from 53.7°C to 51.1°C. At 20°C, the addition of the star POA-St-6 reduces the pour point of crude oil from 30°C to 21°C, and the viscosity and yield stress decrease by 74% and 55.2%, respectively. In addition, star POA-St-6 increases the initial precipitation points of asphaltene from 44.3% to 57.1%, showing a splendid asphaltene inhibiting efficiency. We speculate that the star POA-St stabilizes asphaltene aggregates among its arms and changes the wax crystal morphology through co-crystallization and nucleation effects, thereby exhibiting good performance. These findings provide prospective insights and avenues for the structural optimization and innovation of a new type of pour point depressant.

Core–shell Fe3O4/P(St-AA) (Fe3O4/polystyrene–poly acrylic acid) nanoparticles modified with carboxylic acid groups were synthesized and employed as magnetic carriers for Candida rugosa lipase (CRL) and porcine pancreas lipase (PPL) immobilization. The loading amount of CRL on the Fe3O4/P(St-AA) nanoparticles was calculated to be 87.7 mg protein per g particles. Effects of solution pH and reaction temperature on the relative activity of immobilized CRL were measured and compared with the free CRL. The hydrolytic kinetics of the free and immobilized CRL was also investigated. Hydrolytic activity tests indicated that the stability of the immobilized CRL was strengthened. It should be mentioned that the immobilized CRL retained more than 56.1% of its initial activity after reuse 10 times. Most importantly, the immobilized PPL can tolerate organic media and maintain high esterification activity in n-hexane solution. This work provided a facile and general approach to synthesize magnetic functional nanocomposites for applications in biological and biocatalytic fields.

BNT-6BT-based lead-free ceramics have gained significant attention due to their relatively large piezoelectric coefficients and tunable morphotropic phase boundary conditions. In this investigation, SrTiO 3 (ST) was added to BNT-6BT ceramics to fabricate the BNT-6BT- x ST (BNBT- x ST) composition. The impact of ST content on the phase structure and dielectric permittivity of the BNBT- x ST ceramics was studied. The XRD refinement data show that with increasing ST content, the crystal structure of BNBT- x ST ceramics was transformed from the morphotropic phase structure (coexisting tetragonal (P4/mmm) and pseudo-cubic (Pmm) phase) to the pseudo-cubic phase. The dielectric permittivity data of the BNBT-80ST showed that the T m (the maximum permittivity temperature) moved to −61.9 °C, which caused the room temperature to fall within the range of T m < T < T B (the Burns temperature). This makes the BNBT-80ST a superparaelectric state in relaxor ferroelectrics (RFE). Furthermore, the maximum energy density and the charge-discharge efficiency of the BNBT-80ST achieved 5.48 J/cm 3 and 87% at 495 kV/cm, respectively. The energy density of the BNBT-80ST was improved by 2.97-fold and 49% compared with that of the BNBT-30ST and BNBT-70ST. This is mostly attributed to weakened ferroelectricity and improved paraelectricity in the BNBT-80ST. This investigation demonstrates that BNBT- x ST ceramics can be adjusted to a superparaelectric state with an ST content of 80%. This makes the material to possess both a large polarization and a high breakdown field. This material holds great promise for high energy density capacitor applications.

Novel superhydrophobic antistatic coatings were prepared from the branched alternating copolymers P(St- alt -MAn) and carbon nanotubes through a facile method. Pristine multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were non-covalently modified by an organic–inorganic hybrid of the branched copolymers P(St- alt -MAn) and silica with the existence of γ-aminopropyl-triethoxysilane. The modified MWCNTs were mixed with tetraethyl orthosilicate in ethanol, coated with a fluoroalkylsilane, and then heat treated to obtain the superhydrophobic antistatic coatings. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed that the coatings have a micrometer- and nanometer-scale hierarchical structure similar to that of lotus leaves with high water contact angles (>170°). In addition, the relationship between content of MWCNTs and the properties of the coatings, as well as the effect of cure temperature on contact angle values were investigated systematically.

Novel Gemini quaternary ammonium salts (GQASs) with ester groups were synthesized. Cationic poly(styrene- co -butyl acrylate) (P(St- co -BA)) nanolatex was synthesized in the presence of GQASs as emulsifier. The structures of GQASs were characterized with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy; the property of P(St- co -BA) nanolatex was characterized with dynamic light scattering. The results indicated that GQASs and P(St- co -BA) nanolatex with GQASs were successfully synthesized. GQASs, nanolatex, and the polymer films exhibited excellent antibacterial activities against Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus and Gram-negative Escherichia coli . The GQASs performed even better than the corresponding single-stranded quaternary ammoniums. The antibacterial mechanism was also preliminarily studied, and longer, softer hydrophobic chains of GQAS had stronger antibacterial activity. The work provided a novel, simple approach for developing high-efficiency antibacterial polymer material with a low cost, which has broad biomaterial applications.

The novel phage ST-3, capable of infecting the foodborne pathogen Salmonella Typhimurium, was isolated from wastewater. The Biological characters and genome information of ST-3 were analyzed. In the in vitro assay, the phage ST-3 with a MOI of 10 effectively inhibited the growth of Salmonella Typhimurium CGMCC 1.1174 in 6 h. The inhibitory effect of combination phage ST-3 and antibiotics was also studied, the removal rate of planktonic host exposed to ST-3 and levofloxacin hydrochloride at the same time, or to ciprofloxacin followed by ST-3, is higher than that exposed to antibiotic dosing group alone and antibiotic + phage dosing group. The phage ST-3 combined with 0.5 µg/mL levofloxacin hydrochloride resulted in the largest decrease in biofilm biomass at 54%. The phage ST-3 could be a potential agent to control Salmonella Typhimurium growth and provide instruction for use it and antibiotics together.
