Quickly discriminating different segmented Baijiu can directly control its grade and indirectly affect the quality of the finished Baijiu. A fluorescence sensor array was constructed based on PEI-terminated silver nanoparticles and lanthanide metal ions (PEI@Ag NPs@Ln). Ag NPs were stably dispersed in the PEI-woven network, initially accompanied by excellent fluorescence signals. Organic molecules disrupted the PEI structure and dragged the Ag NPs out. The free Ag NPs sintered or aggregated with the diffusion, resulting in fluorescence quenching. The three lanthanide ions speed up the process, allowing different organic molecules to exhibit more distinct signals. Thus, this sensor was used to map 11 organic molecules’ fingerprints and to discriminate segmented Baijiu. The whole process takes only 2 min. With the assistance of pattern recognition, segmented Baijiu from three cellars were successfully discriminated. Fast, effective and simple are highlights, which opens up its practical application potential in the detection field.

Dielectric film capacitors are a highly ubiquitous and indispensable electronic component, serving a crucial role in a wide array of electronic devices and power systems. Despite their extensive use, polymer film capacitors are often hampered by the conduction loss that ensues when they are subjected to high electric fields and temperatures. As a result, this leads to a significant reduction in energy density and charge-discharge efficiency. To solve this issue, magnetron sputtering technology was used to create a sandwich structure made of polyetherimide (PEI) thin films with lead zirconate titanate (PZT) inorganic layers coated on both sides. This remarkable innovation has successfully introduced the high dielectric PZT layer in the PEI film/metal electrode, substantially augmenting the barrier height at the dielectric/polymer interface. This has also resulted in a marked decrease in conduction loss, as conclusively validated by the experimental findings. At 150 °C and with charge-discharge efficiency above 90%, the maximum discharged energy density is 3.26 J/cm 3 , which is increased by 263% compared to the pristine PEI films (1.24 J/cm 3 at 290 MV/m and 150 °C). This study designed a unique inorganic barrier layer of PZT to increase the energy storage capability of polymer dielectric films in high-temperature environments.

To effectively separate Mg 2+ and Li + from high Mg 2+ /Li + ratio salt lake brine, positively charged thin film composite polyamide (TFC-PA) nanofiltration (NF) membranes were prepared by the interface polymerization involving polyethyleneimine (PEI) with benzenetricarbonyl chloride (TMC). In this work, the structures and performances of PEI based TFC-PA NF membrane prepared on polysulfone (PSF) ultrafiltration substrates from the normal interface polymerization process PSF(NIP), was compared with those on the same substrates from the reverse-phase interface polymerization (RIP) process PSF(RIP), and those on polyethylene substrates from RIP process PE(RIP). Results showed that PSF(RIP) showed improved Mg 2+ /Li + separation factor S Li/Mg from PSF(NIP) with an increased surface positive charge, but with greatly reduced water flux values due to reduced surface roughness , increased surface hydrophobicity , and decreased MWCO Stokes pore radius. PE(RIP) NF membrane showed not only higher Mg 2+ /Li + separation factor S Li/Mg , but also higher water flux values due to increased surface roughness, decreased PA cross-linking degree, reduced PA separation layer thickness, and increased MWCO Stokes pore radius. PE(RIP) NF membrane also showed high rejection rates to a variety of divalent metal salts with high separation factors S Li/Mg of 40–49, high brine permeability values of 10.5 L·m −2 ·h −1 ·bar −1 , and excellent chemical and operational stability.

Bone damage results from the imbalance of bone homeostasis maintained by osteoblast-regulated bone formation and osteoclast-mediated bone resorption. Conventional drug therapy and gene therapy may not optimally regulate the bone remodeling process due to the unitary pharmacological mechanism of drug and the safety and targeting of gene vectors. In the present study, multifunctional fluorescent alendronate-polyethyleneimine carbon dots (Alen-PEI CDs) are innovatively synthesized, which have excellent biocompatibility, selective bone targeting, gene carrying capacity, and anti-bone absorption effect. As gene vectors, bone morphogenic protein 2 (BMP2) gene-loaded Alen-PEI CDs greatly enhance osteoblast differentiation and bone regeneration. Notably, Alen-PEI CDs are found to directly inhibit the formation and function of osteoclasts, effectively attenuating the LPS-induced skull osteolysis in mice. Furthermore, their cumulative toxicity is lower than that of Alen, indicating their potential as an anti-bone resorptive nanodrug. These results show that the bone-targeting Alen-PEI CDs significantly reverse the imbalance of bone homeostasis through a dual-directional mechanism—directly suppressing bone resorption and indirectly inducing bone formation by transfection of osteogenic therapeutic genes. Overall, the study expands the application for carbon dots in biomedicine, providing new insights for the further development of novel selectively targeted multifunctional nanodrugs for the treatment of bone-destructive diseases.

A silicon dioxide/polytetrafluoroethylene/polyethyleneimine/polyphenylene sulfide (SiO2/PTFE/PEI/PPS) composite filter medium with three-dimensional network structures was fabricated by using PPS nonwoven as the substrate which was widely employed as a cleanable filter medium. The PTFE/PEI bilayers were firstly coated on the surfaces of the PPS fibers through the layer-by-layer self-assembly technique ten times, followed by the deposition of SiO2nanoparticles, yielding the SiO2/(PTFE/PEI)10/PPS composite material. The contents of the PTFE component were easily controlled by adjusting the number of self-assembled PTFE/PEI bilayers. As compared with the pure PPS nonwoven, the obtained SiO2/(PTFE/PEI)10/PPS composite material exhibits better mechanical properties and enhanced wear, oxidation and heat resistance. When employed as a filter material, the SiO2/(PTFE/PEI)10/PPS composite filter medium exhibited excellent filtration performance for fine particulate. The PM2.5 (particulate matter less than 2.5 μm) filtration efficiency reached up to 99.55%. The superior filtration efficiency possessed by the SiO2/(PTFE/PEI)10/PPS composite filter medium was due to the uniformly modified PTFE layers, which played a dual role in fine particulate filtration. On the one hand, the PTFE layers not only increase the specific surface area and pore volume of the composite filter material but also narrow the spaces between the fibers, which were conducive to forming the dust cake quickly, resulting in intercepting the fine particles more efficiently than the pure PPS filter medium. On the other hand, the PTFE layers have low surface energy, which is in favor of the detachment of dust cake during pulse-jet cleaning, showing superior reusability. Thanks to the three-dimensional network structures of the SiO2/(PTFE/PEI)10/PPS composite filter medium, the pressure drop during filtration was low.Keywords:polytetrafluoroethylene;polyphenylene sulfide;filter medium;PM2.5;layer-by-layer self-assembly

In order to improve both pure water flux and retention rate of the cross-linked ultrafiltration membranes based on phenolphthalein-based poly(ether ether ketone) (PEEKWC) and polyethyleneimine (PEI), poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) were used as polymeric additives in non-solvent-induced phase separation process. The characterizations, separation effectiveness, and anti-fouling performance of membranes were investigated. Compared with n-butanol additive, the PEG and PVP could accelerate the phase separation rate and form thinner and denser skin layer, and then that led to an increase in the fluxes of pure water and better dye retention performance. In addition, the impact of variable additive dosage on the pure water flux and retention for dye solutions was investigated, and the pure water flux of membranes could reach 3270.8 L·m −2 ·h −1 and 2494.5 L·m −2 ·h −1 at a PEG or PVP concentration of 0.5 wt%, respectively. These membranes also exhibited excellent retention performance for Coomassie brilliant blue and Congo red greater than 98%. The simultaneous improvement of pure water flux and retention performance also could be related to the more efficient water transmission channel forming which was investigated by atomic force microscope phase images. In anti-fouling performance tests , the membranes demonstrated effective anti-fouling properties with a high flux recovery ratio after external cleaning with water only.

Herein, a sensitive and selective electrochemical sensor based on aptamer folding was constructed to detect aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) in peanuts. Specifically, polyethylenimine-functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes modified with molybdenum disulfide (MoS2@MWCNTs–PEI) were used as the electrode matrix to enable a large specific surface area, which were characterized by the Randles–Sevcik equation. Additionally, AuNPs were used to immobilize the aptamer via the Au–S covalent bond and provide a favorable microenvironment for signal enhancement. Methylene blue (MB) was modified at the proximal 3′ termini of the aptamer as the capture probe, while the signal transduction of the sensor was obtained through changes in conformation and position of MB induced by the binding between AFB1 and the probe. Changes in spatial conformation could be recorded by electrochemical methods more readily. This electrochemical aptasensor demonstrated remarkable sensitivity to AFB1 with an extensive detection range (1 pg/mL to 100 ng/mL) and a lower limit detection (1.0 × 10–3 ng/mL). Moreover, using the constructed aptasensor, AFB1 was identified successfully in peanut samples, with recoveries ranging from 95.83 to 107.53%, illustrating its potential use in determining AFB1 in food.

The trace acetone determination in breath can be regarded as a noninvasive method for diagnostic of diabetes. There is an urgent demand to develop a simple method for acetone detection which can be easily performed at home. Here, UiO-66-NH 2 @PEI with the appropriate aperture size combined with the hand-held sensor was used to construct the adsorption–desorption sensing platform for separation and enrichment of acetone in exhaled breath (EB). UiO-66-NH 2 @PEI can realize the selective adsorption, desorption and separation for acetone in EB. The flameless combustion hand-held sensor can sensitively respond to acetone in the range of 0.2–12.0 ppm and it can achieve the accurate determination of acetone content in EB of diabetic patients. The hand-held sensor is inexpensive, lightweight and easy to operate, which has great application prospects for the widespread use for diabetic patients in family life.

Cr (VI) accumulates in an aqueous environment and exhibits huge harm to human health and the ecological system. Developed lignin biomass materials are complicated to prepare and have limited properties, and advances in lignin phenolic modification are lacking. Herein, an aminated poplar lignin-pyrogallol (PLP-PEI) with a simple design and adjustable phenolic hydroxyl content was developed using the acid hydrolysis-phase separation (AH-PS) method, and modified by the atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) strategy. Through diverse characterization analysis, the structural changes of PLP-PEI in the step-by-step synthesis process were monitored. An effective biomass capture system (Bio-Cap) was shown via systematically investigating the adsorption behaviors of Cr (VI) on PLP-PEI under various environmental conditions. Benefiting from introducing phenolic hydroxyl and amino groups, PLP-PEI demonstrated efficient adsorption capacity (598.80 mg/g for Cr (VI)). Additionally, the material also exhibited advantages, including monomeric chemisorption properties, strong reduction capability, and stable regeneration properties. Multiple driving forces were involved in the capture and removal process of Cr (VI), including complexation and electrostatic interaction. The low-cost natural biomass resources supported the industrial-scale synthesis and practical application of advanced aminated lignin polyphenol material, which showed outstanding advantages and enormous potential in the field of water environmental restoration.

Nanofiltration membrane with good separation performance can effectively remove dyes from wastewater. A new type of composite membrane (TiO 2 /PEI/PDA-SMA/PES), which possesses excellent dye/salt separation property, was facilely manufactured by a combined strategy of mixing styrene-maleic anhydride (SMA) with polyethersulfone (PES), polydopamine (PDA) coating, titanium dioxide (TiO 2 )/polyethylenimine (PEI) co-deposition and cross-linking. The as-prepared membranes were characterized using SEM, AFM , FTIR , surface zeta potential , water permeability and contact angle measurement. The effect of TiO 2 content on permeability and retention of membrane was discussed. Results demonstrate that TiO 2 /PEI/PDA-SMA/PES membrane is hydrophilic and positively charged, and it exhibits high permeability for pure water (73.2 L·m −2 ·h −1 ·bar −1 ), reasonable retention to dyes (98.6%, 92.3% and 90.4% for Congo Red, Rhodamine B and Crystal violet, respectively) and satisfactory transport to salts (39.5, 36.4, 30.6 and 29.4 L·m −2 ·h −1 ·bar −1 for Na 2 SO 4 , NaCl, MgSO 4 and MgCl 2 , respectively). In addition, the membrane shows a great antifouling performance and long-term stability during the filtration of dye/salt simulated wastewaters. Further, the membrane is used to treat actual textile wastewater. It also shows good separation performance (permeability 10.6 L·m −2 ·h −1 ·bar −1 , COD retention 98.2%, and color retention 99.7%). Perhaps it is fit for potential treatment of textile wastewater.

The development of molecularly imprinted membranes (MIMs) has promoted applications of membrane-based separation technology, which has shown considerable advantages in water treatment, chemical separation and drug purification. Herein, imitated core–shell PEI@SiO2-based enoxacin-imprinted nanocomposite membranes (SPEIMs) were developed by mixing polyethylenimene-modified silica nanoparticles with polyvinylidene fluoride powder under freezing operation. As a typical and hazardous water pollutant, enoxacin was selected as the template molecule. Morphology and chemical characterizations were explored for an insightful analysis of the obtained membranes. Based on the organic–inorganic hybrid strategy, the as-prepared SPEIMs exhibited superior selectivity towards the target (enoxacin). Satisfactory adsorption performance (55.94 mg g−1), permeability (3.22 for norfloxacin/enoxacin and 7.07 for ciprofloxacin/enoxacin) and regeneration performance (90.31%) were achieved onto SPEIMs. The products and methods obtained in this work would potentially enrich the applications of MIMs in pollution control and biochemical separation.

A novel electrochemical platform composed of water soluble polyethylene imine-reduced graphene oxide (PEI-rGO) composites and cholesterol oxidase (ChOx) based on layer-by-layer (LBL) technique has been triumphantly developed. The PEI-rGO composites could effectively improve the electron transfer ability between the assembled enzyme and the surface of electrode. Furthermore, LBL technique could immobilize more enzyme under mild conditions, which was benefit to keep the bioactivity of redox enzyme. TEM, UV–vis and FT-IR showed that the PEI-rGO composites behaved as individual nanosheet structure and were successfully prepared. The self-assembly process of (ChOx/PEI-rGO) n film was monitored by UV–vis spectroscopy, demonstrating that the ChOx had been immobilized orderly without denaturation. Owing to the good conductivity of the PEI-rGO composites, the electron transfer ability of the immobilized ChOx was greatly improved on glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The PEI/(ChOx/PEI-rGO) 3 /GCE showed excellent electrochemical performances toward the detection of cholesterol. Under optimized conditions, the fabricated electrode exhibited a wide linear range in the cholesterol concentration from 0.10 × 10 −6 to 9.331 × 10 −3 mol L −1 with a detection limit of 0.021 μmol L −1 estimated at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3. The apparent Michaelis-Menten constant ( K m ) was 0.0431 mmol L −1 . This result indicated that a good affinity between the immobilized ChOx and the cholesterol. Meanwhile, the biosensor presented good stability, reproducibility and anti-interference ability with good recoveries for real sample detection.
