Medical devices-related infections pose a great threat to patients and cause an increased morbidity and mortality. Herein, we prepare an antibacterial composite (TPU- x ) through blending medical grade thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) and the complex (PL-DOSS) of ε -polylysine ( ε -PL) and docusate sodium (DOSS). >99% reduction of colony forming unit (CFU) can be obtained in TPU- x composite films even at relatively low content of PL-DOSS, e.g. 0.13% for Methicillin resistant S. aureus (MRSA) and 0.5% for E. coli . The excellent antibacterial activity is mainly attributed to the formation of PL-DOSS nanoparticles that are uniformly dispersed in the TPU matrix with a size of ∼100 nm. TPU- x composite films exhibit long-term stability in saline and good biocompatibility, and retain mechanical properties of TPU.

Membrane-based gas separation exhibits many advantages over other conventional techniques; however, the construction of membranes with simultaneous high selectivity and permeability remains a major challenge. Herein, (LDH/FAS) n -PDMS hybrid membranes, containing two-dimensional sub-nanometre channels were fabricated via self-assembly of unilamellar layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanosheets and formamidine sulfinic acid (FAS), followed by spray-coating with a poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) layer. A CO 2 transmission rate for (LDH/FAS) 25 -PDMS of 7748 GPU together with CO 2 selectivity factors (SF) for SF(CO 2 /H 2 ), SF(CO 2 /N 2 ) and SF(CO 2 /CH 4 ) mixtures as high as 43, 86 and 62 respectively are observed. The CO 2 permselectivity outperforms most reported systems and is higher than the Robeson or Freeman upper bound limits. These (LDH/FAS) n -PDMS membranes are both thermally and mechanically robust maintaining their highly selective CO 2 separation performance during long-term operational testing. We believe this highly-efficient CO 2 separation performance is based on the synergy of enhanced solubility, diffusivity and chemical affinity for CO 2 in the sub-nanometre channels.

Polymer solution has extremely extensive applications in many natural and industrial processes, especially in oilfield development field, such as polymer flooding, fracturing and water shut-off. Thus, the study of flow behaviors of polymer in formation pores is significantly important. In this paper, the flow behaviors of the polymer droplets in the 3-D pore throat structure were systematically studied. Additionally, the influencing factors (polymer concentration, molecular weight and pore throat ratio, for instance) were investigated. As the increasing of polymer concentration and molecular weight, the polymer droplets were more difficult to break, which means the critical flow rate decreased and the average sizes of the first daughter droplets (FDD) were longer synchronously. Moreover, with the increase in pore throat ratio, the critical flow rate increased and the length of the FDD decreased. In addition, the prediction models of the length of the FDD with polymer concentration and pore throat ratio were established, respectively. The prediction model revealed that the length of the FDD satisfied an exponential relationship with the polymer concentration and a linear relationship with the pore throat ratio. Finally, the average size of droplets after macroscopic core flooding experiment was 8 μm and 17 μm when the polymer concentration was 0.01% and 0.1%, respectively. The results were consistent with the breakup behaviors of polymer droplets in the microscopic pore throat structure.

Heavy metal copper ion pollution has enormously threatened ecosystem and public health. So, materials for detecting and adsorbing copper ions (Cu 2+ ) still remains challenging. Electrospinning nanomaterials have good application prospects in the field of water treatment because of its high specific surface area, high porosity and three-dimensional structure. Here, a visualized chitosan/polyacrylonitrile (CS/PAN) nanofiber membrane (NFM) was prepared via the amination modification of the electrospinning membrane and the doping of Cu 2+ fluorescent probe to adsorb Cu 2+ . The effect of membrane absorbs Cu 2+ in water was studied from the aspects of initial Cu 2+ concentration, PH and adsorption time. It was found that when the pH value of the Cu 2+ environment is 5–6, the weight gain rate of aminated nanofiber membrane is 46 %, and the adsorption time is 90 minutes, the adsorption capacity of the NFM can reach 164.3 mg/g. Then, rhodamine hydrazide derivatives were used as fluorescent Cu 2+ probes, which were added to the spinning solution to prepare new NFM to achieve selective recognition of Cu 2+ . The membrane can be used multiple times and can achieve gradient color development of different concentrations of Cu 2+ , and the detection limit can reach 10 −8 M.

Sensitive and rapid identification of pathogenic microorganisms is of great importance for clinical diagnosis and treatment. In this study, we developed an ultrasensitive colorimetric sensor array (CSA) based on the interactions between aminoglycoside antibiotics (AMGs) and Ag nanoparticles decorated with β-cyclodextrin (AgNPs@β-CD) to discriminate microorganisms quickly and accurately. Microorganisms can absorb different amounts of AMGs after incubation. Upon the addition of AgNPs@β-CD, the corresponding extracellular AMG residues will bind to AgNPs@β-CD, leading to color changes due to the modifications in localized surface plasmon resonance. The array was developed using 4 AMGs as sensing elements and AgNPs@β-CD as the colorimetric probe to generate a unique colorimetric response pattern for each microorganism. Standard chemometric methods indicated excellent discrimination among 20 microorganisms at low concentrations of 2 × 10 6 CFU/mL. Therefore, this ultrasensitive CSA can be used for microbial discrimination portably and efficiently. Importantly, the concentration of microbial discrimination by our array is much lower than that of prior CSAs. This method of extracellular residue sensing also provided a new strategy to improve the sensitivity of conventional CSA in the discrimination of microorganisms, to measure the amount of intercellular uptake of AMGs by microorganisms, and to screen drugs that can easily be accumulated by the pathogenic microorganisms.

Heavy metals may coexist with pesticides in farmland through wastewater irrigation, application of pesticides and chemical fertilizers, or unappropriated waste disposal. Heavy metals are toxic to soil microorganism, which may influence the environmental behavior of pesticides subsequently. In this study, the influence of Cd 2+ and Pb 2+ on the degradation of α-cypermethrin and its metabolites, 3-phenoxphenoxybenzoic acid (3-PBA) and 3-(2’,2’-dichlorovinyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropane carboxylic acid (DCCA), were investigated through soil incubation experiment. It was found heavy metals like Cd 2+ and Pb 2+ will inhibit the degradation of α-cypermethrin, especially at high concentrations. Pb 2+ has a stronger inhibitory effect on the degradation of α-cypermethrin than Cd 2+ in the same concentration. With the presence of 10 mg/kg Pb 2+ , the half-life of α-cypermethrin increased from 41.1 to 99.9 days, even the half-life was 129.3 days with 50 mg/kg of Pb 2+ . Besides, heavy metals influenced the chiral selective degradation of α-cypermethrin. The enantiomer fraction was near 0.5 when 10 mg/kg of heavy metals existed. Furthermore, the adverse effects of heavy metals on soil urease, catalase, and sucrase activity were assayed. In tested concentrations (10 and 50 mg kg -1 ), the heavy metals result in strong inhibition of the activity of the enzymes present on soil, jeopardizing the biodegradation by the microbiome and which may inhibit the degradation of α-cypermethrin.

A rapid and sensitive colorimetric detection of ascorbic acid (AA) through the morphology transformation of silver triangular nanoplates (Ag TNPs) is developed. By virtue of the redox reaction among silver nitrate and AA, the newly formed Ag atoms deposited on the surfaces of Ag TNPs. Subsequently, the morphology of Ag TNPs transforms from triangle to circle, resulting in a more than 160 nm blue shift of localized surface plasmon resonance absorption peak. The corresponding color of the solution converting from blue to yellow with the concentration of AA can be observed by naked eyes within 15 min. A linear relationship between the blue shift of absorption peak and the concentration of AA ranging from 0.2 to 6 μM is obtained with a limit of detection (LOD) of 100 nM (3 σ ). Some potential species (e.g., glucose, urea and various amino acids) coexisting in the system showed little or no interference. The proposed assay is successfully employed to determine the amount of AA in pharmaceutical products with recoveries from 96.9 to 106.5% and offers a sensitive, low-cost, rapid and simple assay of visual analysis of ascorbic acid.

The conventional dyeing process requires a substantial amount of auxiliaries and water, which leaches hazardous colored effluents to the environment. Herein, a newly developed sustainable spray dyeing system has been proposed for cotton fabric in the presence of reactive dyes, which has the potential to minimize the textile dyeing industries environmental impact in terms of water consumption and save significant energy. The results suggest that fresh dye solution can be mixed with an alkali solution before spray dyeing to avoid the reactive dye hydrolysis phenomenon. After that, drying at 60–100 °C, wet fixation treating for 1–6 min, and combined treatments (wet fixation + drying) were sequentially investigated and then dye fixation percentages were around 63–65%, 52–70%, and above 80%, respectively. Following this, fixation conditions were optimized using L 16 orthogonal designs, including wet fixation time, temperature, dye concentration, and pH with four levels where the “larger-the-better” function was selected to maximize the dye fixation rate. Additionally, the color uniformity and wash and rubbing fastnesses were at an acceptable level when both treatments were applied. Finally, the dyes were hydrolyzed after wet fixation, and the hydrolysis percentages were enhanced after the drying process.

Background Trichoderma reesei is currently the main strain for the commercial production of cellulase. Cellulose induced protein 1 (Cip1) is one of the most abundant proteins in extracellular proteins of T. reesei. Reported literatures about Cip1 mainly focused on the regulation of Cip1 and its possible enzyme activities, but the effect of Cip1 on the enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulose and possible mechanism have not still been reported.Results In this study, Cip1 from T. reesei was cloned, expressed and purified, and its effects on enzymatic hydrolysis of several different pretreated lignocellulose were investigated. It was found that Cip1 could promote the enzymatic hydrolysis of pretreated lignocellulose, and the promoting effect was significantly better than that of bovine serum albumin (BSA). And especially for the lignocellulosic substrate with high lignin content such as liquid hot water pretreated corn stover and corncob residue, the promoting effect of Cip1 was even better than that of the commercial cellulase when adding equal amount protein. It was also showed that the metal ions Zn2+ and Cu2+ influenced the promoting effect on enzymatic hydrolysis. The Cip1 protein had no lyase activity, but it could destroy the crystal structure of cellulose and reduce the non-productive adsorption of cellulase on lignin, which partly interpreted the promoting effect of Cip1 on enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulose.Conclusion The Cip1 from T. reesei could significantly promote the enzymatic hydrolysis of pretreated lignocellulose, and the promotion of Cip1 was even higher than that of commercial cellulase in the enzymatic hydrolysis of the substrates with high lignin content. This study will help us to better optimize cellulase to improve its ability to degrade lignocellulose, thereby reducing the cost of enzymes required for enzymatic hydrolysis.

Nowadays, metal oxide-based electromagnetic wave absorbing materials have aroused widely attentions in the application of telecommunication and electronics due to their selectable mechanical and outstanding dielectric properties. Herein, the binary ZnO/NiCo 2 O 4 nanoparticles were successfully synthesized via hydrothermal reaction and the electromagnetic wave absorption properties of the composites were investigated in detail. As a result, benefiting from the dielectric loss, the as-obtained ZnO/NiCo 2 O 4 -7 samples possessed a minimum reflection loss value of −33.49 dB at 18.0 GHz with the thickness of 4.99 mm. This work indicates that ZnO/NiCo 2 O 4 composites have the promising candidate applications in electromagnetic wave absorption materials in the future.

As a paper-based analytical platform, lateral flow assay (LFA) gets benefit from the rapid analysis, low cost, high selectivity, good stability, and user-friendliness, and thus has been widely used in rapid screening or assisted diagnosis. Nevertheless, LFA still suffers from low detection sensitivity via the naked eye, limiting its applications to qualitative and semi-quantitative tests. To enhance the signal readout, various nanoparticle signal tags have been employed to replace traditional colloidal gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), such as fluorescent nanoparticles (FNPs), magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), and Raman reporter-labeled nanoparticles. In particular, Raman reporter-labeled nanoparticles are extremely sensitive due to remarkable signal enhancement effect on metal surface. However, the application of LFA is still hampered by the poor stability of Raman reporter-labeled nanoparticles. Herein, we developed an in situ Raman enhancement strategy to create a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) signal on the AuNPs, shortened as “i-SERS,” which not only preserves the original advantages of the colloidal gold strip (AuNPs-LFA), but also realizes highly sensitive and quantitative detection. We applied the i-SERS for procalcitonin (PCT) detection. The experimental process takes only 16 min, and the limit of detection (LOD) is 0.03 ng mL −1 , far below the value using AuNPs-LFA. These results indicate that i-SERS assay was highly sensitive and suitable for the rapid detection of PCT. Graphical abstract
