Improving the service life of oxygen lance is a key assignment in electronic scrap smelting process. The degradation mechanism of 304, 310S, 316L, and 321 stainless steels in FeO x -SiO 2 -CaO-Al 2 O 3 slag were experimentally studied at the range of 1300–1400 °C, in the air and at p O2 = 10 -7 atm. The oxidation and dissolution of steel components, and the formation of (Ni,Fe)(Fe,Cr,Al) 2 O 4 spinel phases caused steel degradation. The chrome oxide layers protected the stainless steel from further corrosion at high p O2 . 310S stainless steel had the best performance in the experimental conditions, and 321 stainless steel was also stable at low temperatures.

The use of piezoelectric materials has been increased due to the growing demand for wearable devices. Herein, we report the development of new copolymer poly (vinylidene fluoride-co-trifluoroethylene) (PVDF-TrFE)-based reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MCNTs) loaded electrospun (E-Spun) nanofibers. The rGO-MCNTs loaded PVDF-TrFE nanofibrous mat led to the fabrication of ultra-sensitive piezoelectric pressure sensors for potential wearable health monitoring applications. The doped PVDF-TrFE solution of different weight percentages of rGO-MCNTs as fillers was prepared and used to fabricate an e-spun nanofibrous mat. Complete characterization of resultant materials were carried through diverse instruments which reveals the successful integration of rGO-MCNTs (3.2%) as a dopant that improved the β-phase up to 92%. The DSC analysis further exposes the high thermal stability of the PVDF-TrFE nanofibers mat due to the enhanced crystallinity with the addition of nanofillers. The newly developed sensor’s overall output (based on sensitivity) was calculated under a variable applied pressure range of 0.25 ~ 300 cN at 50 HZ. Results show that the pressure sensor response has improved from 16.125 ~ 0.430 kPa −1 , corresponding to a higher sensitivity under static and dynamic forces in the applied pressure range. These results are of a fundamental study and open new prospects for the hybrid nanofibrous mat as alternative electrode material in the piezoelectric pressure sensor.

The bio-based epoxy nanocomposite (GAER/DOPO-POSS) was prepared from gallic epoxy resin (GAER) and polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (which containing 9,10-dihydrogen-9-oxo-10-phosphorus-phenanthrene-10-oxide groups, called DOPO-POSS). The polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane containing epoxy groups (E-POSS) was grafted onto aminated graphene oxide (E-GO), then the novel POSS-E-GO was obtained. The POSS-E-GO was used as modifier for GAER/DOPO-POSS nanocomposite. The influences of POSS-E-GO content on mechanical properties, dynamic mechanical properties and thermal stability of GAER/DOPO-POSS nanocomposites were determined. The experimental results show that POSS-E-GO can significantly improve the toughness of the GAER/DOPO-POSS nanocomposite. When 0.5wt% POSS-E-GO was added in GAER/DOPO-POSS nanocomposite, the impact strength of the nanocomposite was 4.74 kJ/m 2 higher than that in the absence of POSS-E-GO, meantime the initial thermal degradation temperature was 277 °C.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are highly toxic and persistent organic pollutions that can accumulate in the environment. In this study, an aromatic ring cleavage module, a salicylic acid synthesis module, and a catechol metabolism module were respectively constructed in three Escherichia coli BL21 strains. Subsequently, the engineered strains were cocultured as an artificial consortium for the biodegradation of phenanthrene, a typical PHA. Single factor experiments and response surface methodology were used to identify the optimal degradation conditions, including an inoculation interval of 6 h, inoculation ratio of 1:1:1, and IPTG concentration of 2 mM. Under these conditions, the 7-day degradation ratio of 100 mg/L phenanthrene reached 72.67%. Moreover, the engineered Escherichia coli BL21 strains showed good phenanthrene degradation ability at substrate concentrations 10 mg/L up to 500 mg/L. Enzyme activity assays combined with gas chromatography–mass spectrometry measurements confirmed that the three engineered strains behaved as a synergistic consortium in the phenanthrene degradation process. Based on the analysis of the key metabolites, the engineered bacteria were supplemented at 7-day intervals in batches so that each engineered strain maintained its optimal degradation ability. The 21-day degradation ratio finally reached 90.66%, which was much higher than what was observed with simultaneous inoculation. These findings suggest that the three engineered strains with separate modules constructed in this study offer an attractive solution for removing PAHs from the environment.

Background The Fenton-like reaction is a highly potential advanced oxidation process. The photo-Fenton-like reaction formed by the combination of photocatalytic advanced oxidation process, which combines their advantages, breaks the original Fenton-like reaction rate bottleneck. Methods In this study, an ultra-thin MOF (Cu-TCPP(BA)-MOF) with porphyrin as the ligand and copper as the metal node was synthesized via a simple one-pot method for the first time. Significant Findings It activates Peroxymonosulfate (PMS) under visible light to degrade 10 mg/L Rhodamine B which can be completely degraded within 40 min. The pseudo-first-order rate constant of RhB is 0.9011 min −1 , being 5 folds larger than this for CuO as catalysts. ESR analysis shows that Cu-TCPP(BA)-MOF/PMS/vis system produces a large amount of non-radical 1 O 2 . Also under visible light, with E. coli concentration of 10 7 cfu/mL, it can be completely inactivated within 50 min. Dilution spreading plate method and Fluorescence spectroscopy confirmed the complete death of bacteria. In terms of mechanism, the ultra-thin MOF provides a large number of Cu 2+ active sites. Under visible light, the cycle between Cu 2+ and Cu + is accelerated and the pathways that produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) is changed, thereby improving the performance of contaminant treatment and sterilization.

To utilize carbon source and decompose the petroleum hydrocarbon substances simultaneously, adding the electrolysis to ozonation (E + -Ozonation) was employed to deal with hazardous activated petroleum waste sludge (P-sludge). It was found that E + -Ozonation could accelerate the ozone utilization and hydroxyl radical (·OH) generation rate. Soluble chemical oxygen demand (SCOD) increased around 16.3 times than the control one (from 471 to 7700 mg/L). The potential carbon source, such as the short-chain carbon of acetate and propionate, increased from 50 to 1088 mg/L and from 27 to 614 mg/L respectively, and approximately accounted for a quarter of total SCOD. Total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) decomposition was observed with a much higher removal rate of 84.3% simultaneously, and the substances with the function group of C=C and C–C bonds decomposed greatly. The long- and medium-chain substances in TPH were converted into the short-chain substances (90% of C 28 –C 40 of hydrocarbons was removed, while C 10 –C 18 increased by 13.8%). E + -Ozonation process could be one of the promising methods for P-sludge decomposition through carbon source releasing and TPH removal. Graphical abstract

Hydrogel nanocomposites (HGNCs), with a hydrophobic inner hollows structure and a hydrophilic exterior, is often used to encapsulate the broadest range of guest molecules. Herein, we established a three-dimensional, nanocomposites, superabsorbent, malleable, and bioadhesive HGNCs via chemical crosslinker poly (ethylene glycol) diglycidyl ether (PEGDGE) to enhance the controlled release and bioavailability of Vitamin E (VE). β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) are integrated as multi-core units in the soy soluble polysaccharide (SSPS) polymer network in which the β-CD cavities act as carriers for (VE) by host-guest interaction. We have examined the detailed structures and morphology by FTIR, DSC , XRD, SEM, TEM , AFM , and CLSM. Overall, increasing the β-CD than SSPS in the reaction mixture (from 10 to 25%) led to enhance the crosslinking degree, improve the elastic behavior (G′>G″), increase the particle size (from 114.2 to 202.9 nm), and the hardness. Besides, decreasing the adhesiveness, pore size, and swelling. Our (HGNCs) did not rupture under compression up to 90% strain with (1.8 MPa) strength. The nanocomposites (1:1) exhibited less nanosized after pectinase and α-amylase hydrolysis (75 and 124 nm, respectively). Also, the (HGNCs) exhibited outstanding swelling-adsorption and sustained release (over 230 h) towards VE in vitro. It showed high encapsulation efficiency and loading capacity (79.10 and 16.04%, respectively). Additionally, the oral administration of VE-loaded HGNCs in rats resulted in a sustained increase of plasma VE levels over 12 h post-administration. The relative pharmacological bioavailability of VE was larger for VE-loaded HGNCs (reached to 7.5-fold increase) compared to free VE suspension. Keywords : Nanohydrogel; β-cyclodextrin; Soy soluble polysaccharide; Vitamin E; swelling; control release.

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the metabolism of α -tocopherol derived from vitamin E-enriched transgenic maize (VER) and its effects on antioxidant and immune functions in broilers aged 1–42 days. A total of 360 1-day-old male broilers were randomly divided into three groups containing six replicates with 20 broilers per replicate. The negative control (NC) group and the positive control (PC) group were given non-GM maize and non-GM maize plus exogenous vitamin E (VE), respectively, and the VER group was given VER, replacing the non-GM maize given to the NC group. Between days 1 and 21 and days 22 and 42, VE levels were 4.38 and 4.63 mg kg −1 in the NC group, and 14.11 and 14.91 mg kg −1 in the PC and VER group, respectively. RESULTS The results showed that α -tocopherol from both VER and additives increased α -tocopherol transfer protein and cytochrome P450 concentrations. Serum α -tocopherol and α -tocopherylquinone levels of broilers in the PC and VER groups were also significantly higher than those in the NC group ( P < 0.05). Compared with the NC group, broilers in both groups that received α -tocopherol had reduced NF- κ B p65 concentrations, significantly decreased serum prostaglandin E 2 , interleukin-6, malondialdehyde, and hydrogen peroxide levels ( P < 0.05), and significantly increased glutathione, glutathione peroxidase, and total antioxidant capacity ( P < 0.05). CONCLUSION In summary, both VER and non-GM maize fortified with exogenous VE showed similar effects on broilers, indicating that the α -tocopherol in VER has sufficient biological activity. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry

The low tolerance of lipases in organic solvents limits the industrial applications of enzymatic synthesis of Vitamin E succinate (VES). In this study, the deep eutectic solvents (DESs) were adopted as mediums to achieve the high efficiency and low-cost enzymatic synthesis of VES. Several kinds of commonly used DESs, including hydrophilic and hydrophobic DESs were screened firstly and fortunately found that the decanoic acid: lidocaine (DecA: Lid 2:1) performed best in the enzymatic synthesis of VES with a yield of 98.21 ± 0.63 % at 50 ℃ in only 6 h, which was significantly improved compared to previous studies. Interestingly, a synergistic effect of lipase and DESs was found in the enzymatic synthesis of VES, and the results of molecular simulations and density functional calculation suggested that it can be attributed to that 1) the hydrogen bonds interaction between DecA:Lid (2:1) and succinic anhydride enhances the electrophilicity of succinic anhydride and promotes the esterification reaction, 2) DecA:Lid (2:1) causes conformational changes of CRL via hydrogen bonds, which improves its capacity to capture and locate substrate molecules and thus enhancing its catalytic efficiency.

Microbial transglutaminase (MTG) is a usable enzyme for biomacromolecule modification. In the present study, a “molecular chaperonin” strategy was developed to produce MTG in E. coli cytoplasm with high expression level and a “small molecule-mediated chemical modification” strategy was adopted to strip propeptide chaperonin efficiently during purification . Propeptide (Pro) was expressed separately as a chaperonin to facilitate MTG expression in E. coli cytoplasm with a yield up to 300 mg or about 9 kU from 1 L fed-batch culture. Furthermore, small molecular chemicals were applied to interfere the interaction between MTG and Pro. Chemical acetylation was identified as a suitable method to strip Pro resulting in pure MTG with high specific activity up to 49.6 U/mg. The purified acetylated MTG was characterized by MS analysis. The deconvoluted mass and Peptide Sequence Tags analysis confirmed acetylation on amino groups of MTG protein. Finally, the applications of obtained MTG were demonstrated via protein polymerization of bovine serum albumin and PEGylation of human interferon-α2b. Our method provides MTG with high purity and specific activity as well as unique merit with masked amino groups thus avoiding self-polymerization and cross-linking between MTG and substrates.

Electronic skin (E-skin) is increasingly utilized in modern society, yet current E-skin technology suffers from issues, such as opacity, hardness, and fragility. To address these challenges, a novel E-skin was developed using polyurethane (PU) as the matrix material and silver nanowires (AgNWs) as the sensing material. By leveraging the small degree of microphase separation and lack of crystallization in the PU, combined with the appropriate length–diameter ratio of the AgNWs, the resulting E-skin exhibited a visible light transmittance of 75%. The E-skin also showed excellent self-healing properties (83.63% efficiency in the third repair) and mechanical properties (with almost no degradation after 60 tensile cycles) due to the reversible dynamic cross-linking network within the PU. The synergistic effect of PU and AgNWs resulted in exceptional sensing performance for the E-skin, with a gauge factor of 46 (when ε = 10%). Moreover, the E-skin demonstrated signal stability during human joint motion monitoring and successfully identified different movement states, highlighting its potential for diverse applications. This research presents a simple yet effective approach for producing transparent, durable, and stable E-skin.Keywords:electronic-skin (E-skin);strain-sensor;self-healing;polyurethane;AgNWs;spraying;transparent;UV blocking

Purpose: We developed a contrast agent for targeting E-selectin expression. We detected the agent using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in vivo in nude mice that had undergone nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) metastasis.Methods: Sialyl Lewis X (sLeX) was conjugated with ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide (USPIO) nanoparticles. Hydrodynamic size, polydispersity index, and ζ-potential of USPIO–polyethylene glycol (PEG) nanoparticles and USPIO-PEG-sLeX nanoparticles were measured. Component changes in nanoparticles of USPIO, USPIO-PEG, and USPIO-PEG-sLeX were analyzed by thermogravimetric analysis and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. A model of NPC metastasis to inguinal lymph nodes in nude mice was used to investigate characteristics of the USPIO-PEG-sLeX nanoparticles in vivo. We investigated the ability of the T2* value, change in T2* value (ΔT2* value), and enhancement rate (ER) to assess accumulation of USPIO-PEG-sLeX nanoparticles quantitatively in mice of a metastasis group and control group. Four MRI scans were undertaken for each mouse. The first scan (t0) was done before administration of USPIO-PEG-sLeX nanoparticles (0.1 mL) via the tail vein. The other scans were carried out at 0 (t1), 1 (t2), and 2 hours (t3) postinjection. The mean optical density was used to reflect E-selectin expression.Results: sLeX was labeled onto USPIO successfully. In vivo, there were significant interactions between the groups and time for T2* values after administration of USPIO-PEG-sLeX nanoparticles. Six parameters (T2* at t2, ΔT2* at t1, ΔT2* at t2, ER at t1, ER at t2, and ER at t3) were correlated with the mean optical density.Conclusion: USPIO-PEG-sLeX nanoparticles can be used to assess E-selectin expression quantitatively. Use of such molecular probes could enable detection of early metastasis of NPC, more accurate staging, and treatment monitoring.
