Hyperbranched polymer with flexible long chains (Ɛ-CL) were synthesized based on hydroxyl terminated hyperbranched polyesters (HBPEs). The prepared HBP-CLs were used to toughen poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) by melt-blending. Comparing with pure PHBV, the crystallinity (X c ) of the PHBV/3.0phr HBP-CLs blends decreased by 10.2% (from 67.8 to 60.9%), the impact strength increased by 533.3% (from 5.1 kJ·m − 2 to 32.3 kJ·m − 2 ), and the elongation at break increased by 160.5% (from 1.62 to 4.22%). With the increase of HBP-CLs, the fracture surface of the PHBV/HBP-CLs blends became rough and a significant decrease in crystallization area can be seen from POM images. Even filamentous structures and tiny holes was formed, which further demonstrated that HBP-CLs acted as an excellent toughening effect on PHBV.

Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors (MLCCs) for energy storage applications require a large discharge energy density and high discharge/charge efficiency. Here, 0.87BaTiO 3 -0.13Bi(Zn 2/3 (Nb 0.85 Ta 0.15 ) 1/3 )O 3 (BTBZNT) powders were synthesized via solid-state reactions, and MLCCs with sub-micron grains were fabricated using a two-step sintering method. The BTBZNT MLCCs, which are well-defined relaxor ferroelectrics, possessed relatively high permittivity, dielectric sublinearity, and negligible hysteresis. An AC breakdown strength ( BDS ) enhancement from 511 to 1047 kV/cm was obtained as the dielectric thickness ( D ) decreased from 26 to 5 μm. The strong correlation between BDS and D , described as B D S ∝ D − 0.368 , agreed well with the general macroscopic theory of thermal breakdown in insulators. The enhanced BDS afforded the BTBZNT MLCCs ( D ∼9 μm) with excellent energy storage properties with a maximum discharge energy density of 10.5 J/cm 3 and discharge/charge efficiency of 93.7% under a maximum electric field of 1000 kV/cm. The MLCCs also exhibited excellent thermal stability with discharge energy density variation <±5% over a wide temperature range of −50 to 175 °C under an electric field of 400 kV/cm. These remarkable performances make BTBZNT MLCCs promising for energy storage applications.

A series of N , N -3-phenyl-3-benzylaminopropanamide derivatives were identified as novel CETP (cholesteryl ester transfer protein) inhibitors. In our previous study, lead compound L10 was discovered by pharmacophore-based virtual screening (Dong-Mei Zhao et al., 2014). Based on L10 (IC 50 8.06 μM), compound HL6 (IC 50 10.7 μM) was discovered following systematic structure variation and biological tests. Further optimization of the structure–activity relationship (SAR) resulted in N , N -3-phenyl-3-benzylaminopro panamides derivatives as novel CETP inhibitors. They were synthesized and evaluated against CETP by BODIPY-CE fluorescence assay . Among them, HL16 (IC 50 0.69 μM) was a highly potent CETP inhibitor in vitro. In addition, HL16 exhibited favorable HDL-C enhancement and LDL-C reduction in vivo by hamster. The molecular docking of HL16 into the CETP was performed. The binding mode demonstrated that HL16 occupied the CETP binding site and formed interactions with the key amino acid residues.

Preparing a polylactide (PLA)/plasticizer system has been regarded as an effective solution to improve the ductility of brittle PLA. In this reach, a novel type of alkyl phosphine oxides consisting of three aliphatic ester substituents was prepared from PH 3 tail gas, and its potential to be employed as a PLA plasticizer was studied. Differential scanning calorimeter tests confirmed that the newly-prepared plasticizer decreased the T g of PLA (28 wt% plasticizer) from 52°C (neat PLA) to 11°C, and increased the elongation at break from 11% (neat PLA) to 271% (plasticized PLA). X-ray diffraction results showed that the crystallization degree of PLA (28 wt% plasticizer) increased from 0.12% of neat PLA to 14.04%, while Young's modulus of PLA remained as high as 121.3 MPa, which was much higher than that of the PLA/citrate ester systems with same plasticizer content. These novel phosphorus-containing plasticizers exhibited excellent thermal stability and a weight-loss of the system no more than 2.5% at 180°C; therefore, no unpleasant volatiles were released during processing. In contrast, the weight loss of the PLA/citrate system was as high as 10.8% at 180°C, forming heavy fog with an unpleasant smell during thermal mixing. Scanning electron microscopy was employed to observe the microstructure of the PLA/plasticizer systems, which indicated that the carboxylic butyl ester-containing phosphine oxides was compatible with PLA matrix.

Nonspecific adsorption (NSA) seems to be an impregnable obstacle to the progress of the biomedical, diagnostic, microelectronic, and material fields. The reaction path of bioconjugation can alter the surface charge distribution on products and the interaction of bioconjugates, an ignored factor causing NSA. We monitored exacerbated NSA introduced by a 1-ethyl-3-(3-(dimethylamino)propyl) carbodiimide (EDC) addition reaction, which cannot be resistant to bovine serum albumin (BSA) or polyethylene glycol (PEG) antifouling coating and Tween-20. And the negative effects can be minimized by adding as low as 7.5 × 10–6 M N-hydroxysulfosuccinimide (sulfo-NHS). We applied ordered porous layer interferometry (OPLI) to sensitively evaluate the NSA that is difficult to measure on individual particles. Using the silica colloidal crystal (SCC) film with Fabry–Perot fringes as in situ and real-time monitoring for the NSA, we optimized the surface chemistry to yield a conjugate surface without variational charge distribution. In this work, we propose a novel approach from the perspective of the reaction pathway to minimize the NSA of solely EDC-induced chemistry.

Ultraviolet (UV)-absorbing chemicals (UV filters) are used in personal care products for the protection of human skin and hair from damage by UV radiation. Although these substances are released into the environment in the production and consumption processes, little is known about their ecotoxicology effects. The acute toxicity and potential ecological risk of UV filters benzophenone-3 (BP-3) and benzophenone-4 (BP-4) onChlorella vulgaris,Daphnia magna, andBrachydanio reriowere analyzed in the present study. The EC50values (96 h) of BP-3 and BP-4 onC. vulgariswere 2.98 and 201.00 mg/L, respectively. The 48 h-LC50of BP-3 and BP-4 onD. magnawere 1.09 and 47.47 mg/L, respectively. The 96 h-LC50of BP-3 and BP-4 onB. reriowere 3.89 and 633.00 mg/L, respectively. The toxicity of a mixture of BP-3 and BP-4 onC. vulgaris,D. magna, andB. rerioall showed antagonistic effects. The induced predicted no-effect concentrations of BP-3 and BP-4 by the assessment factor method were 1.80 × 10−3and 0.47 mg/L, respectively, by assessment factor (AF) method, which were both lower than the concentrations detected in the environment at present, verifying that BP-3 and BP-4 remain low-risk chemicals to the aquatic ecosystem.Keywords:benzophenone-3;benzophenone-4;UV filters;acute toxicity;ecological risk assessment

Biodegradable materials provide protective properties comparable to conventional plastics while diminishing reliance on nonrenewable resources. Environmentally friendly polymer blends were prepared by melting poly(R)-3-hydroxybutyrate-co-(R)-3-hydroxyhexanoate) (PHBHHx) with poly (butylene succinate) (PBS). PBS was synthesized through esterification and polycondensation using 1,4-butanediol and succinic acid, with tetrabutyltitanate as the catalyst. The PHBHHx is supplied by Bulepha®PHA Company of China, model number BP330. The effects of PHBHHx content on thermal behavior, compatibility, and thermal stability of PBS/PHBHHx blends were systematically investigated. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) results indicated that the addition of PHBHHx influenced the crystallization behavior, the crystallization temperature ( T c ) of PBS decreased meanwhile, the crystallization half-time of PBS is reduced to 1.5 min compared with neat PBS (5 min) after isothermal is crystallized at 95°C. Polarized Optical Microscopy (POM) images also revealed that crystallization rate accelerated in the blend with increasing PHBHHx content. Rheological and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis demonstrated that incorporating a significant content of PHBHHx reduced compatibility between PBS and PHBHHx. Mechanical property testing indicates that the addition of PHBHHx reduced the toughness of blends. Additionally, the addition of a small amount of PHBHHx imparts a higher crystallinity (56%) and heat resistance of the PBS/PHBHHx blends (78°C) was higher than neat PBS (74°C). Highlights Laboratory synthesis of high molecular weight PBS. Optimal ratios improved crystallinity and thermal stability of blends. A systematic study of the crystallization properties of blends.

Background Salmonella pullorum ( S. pullorum ) is an enteric pathogen that impairs growth performance, leading to substantial economic losses. Evidence demonstrates that the natural flavonoid phloretin can modulate intestinal microbiota functionality, and which underpins its therapeutic efficacy in ameliorating gastrointestinal disorders. However, the protective effects of phloretin against S. pullorum infections and underlying mechanisms remain unelucidated. Purpose This study aimed to elucidate the protective effects and mechanisms of phloretin in improving defense against S. pullorum infection by modulating gut microbiota in chicks. Methods H&E staining, RT-qPCR and ELISA assays were used to assess the protective potentials of phloretin in S. pullorum -infected chicks. Then, 16S rRNA gene sequencing and untargeted metabolomics were employed to identify key microbiota and metabolites regulating the intestinal microenvironment. Moreover, fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) and dietary metabolite supplementation were conducted to reshape the gut microbiota, elucidate the interaction between the microbiota and S. pullorum infection. Results Phloretin treatment alleviated intestinal injury and enhanced growth performance in S. pullorum -infected chicks via improved intestinal barrier integrity, suppression of inflammatory responses, and restructuring of gut microbial composition. Additionally, these beneficial effects were also observed following FMT from phloretin-treated donors. Subsequent microbial and untargeted metabolomic analysis revealed that phloretin significantly enriched abundance of the functional bacterium Faecalibacterium , and the microbiota-derived phenylalanine metabolites 3-phenylpropionic acid (3-PPA). Importantly, 3-PPA supplementation attenuates S. pullorum -induced intestinal barrier damaged and inflammation in chicks through modulation of the AhR/IL-22/STAT-3 signalling axis. Conclusion These findings provide new insights into the therapeutic potentials of phloretin for S. pullorum -infected chicks.

In this work, we proposed a naked-eye colorimetric strategy for simultaneous detection of cysteine and lysine based on 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) system in a neutral condition (pH 7.0). Based of the fact that Ag + could oxidize 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to oxidized TMB (oxTMB) and induce a blue color solution corresponding to an absorption peak centered at 652 nm, thus the adding of cysteine or lysine to formation of different product results in the blue color fading to colorless quickly or change to scarlet, respectively. With this strategy, the limit of detection in experimental measurement for cysteine and lysine is 2.46 μM and 3.87 μM, respectively. And the selectivity can also be guaranteed among the other amino acid. The cost is quite low since the use of TMB and Ag + . More importantly, the colorimetric detection operation is very simple without any further modification process and the reaction under physiological conditions is more meaningful for detection of amino acid.

Due to the acidity and the limited applications of 3,4-dinitropyrazole (DNP), two types of nitrogen-rich energetic cocrystals (DD1 and DD2) based on DNP and 3,4-diaminofurazan (DAF) were synthesized. The magnificently grown cocrystals were thoroughly examined by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis, and nuclear magnetic resonance. A differential scanning calorimetry analysis revealed that both cocrystals have different endothermic peaks and remarkably similar exothermic peaks. Moreover, thermogravimetric analysis demonstrates that the thermal decomposition of DD1 and DD2 seems to be three mass loss stages. Hirshfeld surface analysis suggests that O···H (hydrogen bonding) close contacts contribute the most to the stabilization of DD1 and DD2. Subsequently, the pH values of DD1 and DD2 indicate that cocrystals reduce the acidity of DNP; additionally, the inclusion of hydrogen peroxide can improve the oxygen balance of the cocrystal to a certain degree. The obtained cocrystals have high nitrogen contents and acceptable sensitivities to external stimuli (friction and impact) that prove them as promising candidates for expanding the applications of DNP in the field of energetic materials after overcoming an acidity problem.

The densities of the binary aqueous solutions of 1-carboxymethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([HOOCMMIm]Cl), 1-carboxymethyl-3-propylimidazolium chloride ([HOOCMPIm]Cl), 1-(2-hydroxylethyl)-3-propylimidazolium chloride ([HOEtPIm]Cl), and the ternary solutions [HOOCMMIm]Cl + [HOOCMPIm]Cl + H2O, [HOEtPIm]Cl + [HOOCMPIm]Cl + H2O, and [HOEtPIm]Cl + [HOOCMMIm]Cl + H2O have been measured at (293.15, 298.15, and 303.15) K, respectively. The densities of the examined ternary solutions have been predicted by the equation of Patwardhan and Kumar established for the density of aqueous electrolyte solutions. The predictions were not very satisfactory probably due to the presence of the functional group −COOH. The coupling of the Patwardhan and Kumar’s equation and the rule of Young and Smith considerably improves the predictions, and the predicted results show excellent agreements with the experimental results.

NASICON-type LiZr 2 (PO 4 ) 3 (LZP) has a high bulk ionic conductivity (∼10 −4 S cm −1 ) and a wide electrochemical stability window between 0 and 5.5 V. However, LZP suffers from a problem in which its desirable rhombohedral phase transforms to the triclinic phase (∼10 −8 S cm −1 ) below 50 °C. In this work, we reported a rhombohedral-structured LiZr 2 (PO 4 ) 3 (α-LZP) at room temperature with a high total Li-ion conductivity (2.8 × 10 −6 S cm −1 ) by a microwave sintering process. Moreover, this approach realized a drastic reduction in the sintering temperature from the typical 1200 °C–900 °C with only a 4 h holding time. Using this approach, we also demonstrated the successful synthesis of Ca-incorporated Li 1.2 Ca 0.1 Zr 1.9 (PO 4 ) 3 (LCZP) with an ionic conductivity of 1.7 × 10 −5 S cm −1 .
