Electrospun biodegradable fiber mesh is a promising alternative scaffold for delivering progenitor cells for repairing damaged or diseased tissue, but its cripple mechanical stability has not met the requirement of tissue engineering yet. In this work, the well-defined poly(ε-caprolactone)-branched poly(methyl methacrylate- co -hydroxyethylmethacrylate) (PCL-PMH) has been successfully synthesized to toughen electrospun poly( l -lactide) (PLLA) fiber membrane. Characterization of the obtained nanofibrous meshes indicates that PCL-PMH and PLLA can be well blended to make smooth fibers, and fibrous diameter vary little with blending PCL-PMH. The aggregation state of two macromolecules is closely correlated with blend ratio, molecular structure, and molecular weight of PCL-PMH, and only when PCL-PMH and PLLA form good interfacial adhesion can PMH give full play to its potential for toughening the fiber membrane. The tensile strength and elongation at break of the blend are 6.20 MPa and 63.40% under the optimal conditions, respectively, and it also exhibits the representative feature of toughness materials. The blending fiber membrane is as no cytotoxic as original PLLA. This work will provide a new way for toughness of electrospun fiber membrane in practice.

Eggshell membranes were used as biotemplate to fabricate a 3D hierarchical porous Co 3 O 4 /ZnO p-n junction film. Multiple catalysis and accelerated electron transfer were achieved on the Co 3 O 4 /ZnO-GOx electrode by introducing the p-n junction interface into enzyme loading matrix. A stable and well-defined oxidation peak of glucose was obtained with a largely decreased detection potential of 0.25 V. Furthermore, an enhanced sensitivity (116.64 μA·mM −1 ·cm −2 ) was also achieved comparing with the simple biotemplate-synthesized Co 3 O 4 and ZnO film. The results demonstrated it is a novel strategy to improve the biosensing performance by introducing p-n junction interface into enzyme loading matrix.

Ag/TiO 2 nanocomposites comprising of Ag clusters on TiO 2 nanocrystal surfaces are of great significance in catalysts and advanced functional materials. Herein a novel method to synthesize Ag/TiO 2 nanocomposites with Ag clusters under 2 nm on TiO 2 nanocrystal surfaces have been developed. The success of this method relies on a silver mirror reaction in toluene, which refers to the reduction of silver-dodecylamine complexes by acetaldehyde in the presence of mono-dispersed TiO 2 nanocrystals. The prepared Ag/TiO 2 nanocomposites have been characterized by FT-IR spectra, UV–vis absorption spectra, X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, ultra high resolution scanning electron microscope (Ultra-HRSEM), high resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS). Catalytic activity of Ag/TiO 2 nanocomposites is evaluated for the reduction of p -nitrophenol (4-NP) into p -aminophenol (4-AP) by NaBH 4 . Results demonstrate that Ag/TiO 2 nanocomposites have shown an outstanding catalytic activity as well as a good stability in successive reduction of 4-NP. Noticeably, TOF of Ag/TiO 2 -0.75 nanocomposites obtained in this work is the highest among Ag based catalysts previously reported.

This study aimed to investigate the degradation of triclosan (TCS) in the presence of p -aminobenzoic acid (PABA) under simulated sunlight irradiation ( λ ≥ 290 nm). The effect of PABA concentration, pH, dissolved organic matter (DOM), and DOM-hydrolytic Fe(III) species complexes on the photodegradation of TCS in the presence of PABA (TCS -PABA ) was also studied. The photolysis of TCS -PABA obeyed pseudo-first-order kinetics well, and the degradation of TCS -PABA enhanced with increasing solution pH (from 3.0 to 11.0). The presence of PABA inhibited the degradation of TCS -PABA , and the weakest inhibitory effect was observed while the concentration of PABA was 5 mg L −1 . The addition of DOM (Suwannee River fulvic acid standard I [SRFA], Suwannee River HA standard II [SRHA], and Suwannee River natural organic matter [SRNOM]) showed different inhibition effects on TCS -PABA degradation. However, higher Fe(III) concentration at the DOM concentration of 5 mg L −1 could favor the formation of DOM-hydrolytic Fe(III) species complexes, further accelerating the degradation of TCS -PABA . In comparison with deionized water (DI water), TCS -PABA could be better photodegraded in river water nearby the effluent of a wastewater treatment plant. This study provides useful information for understanding the natural behavior of TCS in the presence of other organic contaminants.

We developed a sensitive and selective method for detection of 4-Nitrophenol (PNP) using Ag nanoclusters (NCs) as fluorescence probe. Bovine serum albumin (BSA) was used as the template for preparing Ag NCs via wet chemistry. The fluorescence of as-prepared Ag NCs was significantly quenched in the presence of PNP, showing excellent linear relationships between the quenching degree of the fluorescence intensity and the concentrations of PNP in the range of 0.5 μM to 60 μM. The fluorescence quenching mechanism was also investigated. Furthermore, this method was applied for the recognition of PNP in environmental samples.

The corrosion behavior of Ni-P coating deposited on 3003 aluminum alloy in flue gas condensate was investigated by electrochemical approaches. The results indicated that nitrite acted as a corrosion inhibitor. The inhibiting effect of nitrite was reduced in solutions containing sulfate or nitrate. Chloride and sulfate accelerated the corrosion of Ni-P coatings greatly. This can provide important information for the researchers to develop special Ni-P coatings with high corrosion resistance in the flue gas condensate.Keywords:electroless Ni-P coating;anion;3003 aluminum alloy;flue gas condensate;pitting corrosion

In order to obtain high performance bioplastics and thermoplastic elastomers, P(LLA-mb-BSA) multi-block copolymers containing 30 wt % and 70 wt % soft segment (PLBSA30 and PLBSA70 for short) were synthesized via chain extension and coupling of poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) and poly(butylene succinate -co- adipate) (PBSA) prepolymers in the presence of 1% nucleating agent (NA). They were characterized with proton nuclear magnetic resonance ( 1 H NMR), gel permeation chromatography (GPC), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), polarizing optical microscopy (POM), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), transmission electron microscope (TEM), and tensile and impact test. The relatively high molecular weights of ( M n 8200 g/mol and 3100 g/mol for PLLA and PBSA, respectively) the polyester sequences are helpful to improve the PLLA crystallization and the flexibility of the PBSA soft segment. Nucleation effect further accelerates the crystallization of PLLA segment. The synergistic effect of these factors results in good balance between stiffness and toughness. PLBSA30s containing 1% zinc citrate (ZnCC) or talc behave as ultra-tough bioplastics with ultrahigh impact strength over 50 kJ/m 2 and excellent tensile properties. PLBSA70 containing 1% ZnCC possesses elongation at break of 600% and retains high modulus (56 MPa) and strength (16 MPa) and therefore behaves as an excellent thermoplastic elastomer. The excellent and balanced properties would extend the end applications of these PLLA-based materials. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2017 , 134 , 44777.

The comprehensive separation and utilization of whole components of lignocellulosic materials has received extensive attention in present research. This study focused on the efficacy of alkali treatment for enzymatic saccharification of cellulose based on p-toluenesulfonic acid (p-TsOH) pretreated bamboo substrate. The results showed that the cellulose to glucose conversion yield was 94.69 % under optimized conditions of 0.4 g NaOH/g, 160 °C and 4 h (soaked), which after only 6 h enzymatic hydrolysis time. Alkali lignin recovery was 88.51 %, with potential for conversion to lignin derivatives. The yield of hemicellulose in the pretreated filtrate was 51.85 % after the 4th cycling reuse of p-TsOH. This work has borrowed the advantages of p-TsOH pretreatment of depolymerized hemicellulose from bamboo, combined with a low-priced weak alkali secondary treatment method, which can be effectively applied to the co-production of lignin, xylooligosaccharide, xylose and glucose, and the whole process is green and economically sustainable.

In this study, a cobalt-doped nickel disulfide (Co-Ni 3 S 2 ) catalyst was prepared by a one-step hydrothermal method, which was grown on the surface of firm and dense three-dimensional porous nickel foam (NF). Although researchers have conducted extensive research on heterogeneous catalytic ozonation (HCO) over the past decades, the development of highly efficient, easily separable, stable, and recyclable HCO catalysts is still a bottleneck for practical applications. Taking p-nitrophenol (PNP) as the targeted pollutant, the synergistic effect of Co-Ni 3 S 2 /NF composites and ozone was studied. The results show that Co-Ni 3 S 2 /NF with different doping ratios can degrade PNP by more than 99% within 40 minutes, showing high activity. At the same time, in the cycle experiment, Co-Ni 3 S 2 /NF showed good stability and recyclability compared with the powder catalyst and therefore, the former could reduce water treatment cost. We also found that in the Co-Ni 3 S 2 /NF/O 3 system, the production rates of 1 O 2 , •OH and O 2 •- can be greatly improved, and the process of degradation is synergistic with both non-radicals and free radicals.

Si-based heterojunctions have been intensively employed to reduce the large overpotential of Si single-absorber photoelectrodes in the field of photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting, but achievement of high-quality heterojunctions with an appropriate bandgap on the Si nanostructure host remains a great challenge. Herein, the p-Si/n-CdS core/shell nanowire heterojunction photocathode has been achieved by a combination of nanosphere lithography, metal-assisted chemical etching, atomic layer deposition , and chemical bath deposition. Compared to the bare Si nanowire photocathode , the overpotential maintaining a photocurrent density of 10 mA cm −2 for the optimized p-Si/n-CdS core/shell nanowire heterojunction photocathode under AM 1.5G illumination is reduced by 0.93 V, and simultaneously the saturated photocurrent density is increased by 4.4 mA cm −2 . Analyses indicate that the introduced CdS shell can greatly facilitate the separation and transfer of the photogenerated carriers , as well as partly enhancing the optical absorption .

Recently, bimetallic nanocomposites have been prepared and used in the fields of sensing, catalysis, energy and medicine. However, there are few reports on the preparation and application of new antimony-metal nanocomposites based on two-dimensional antimonene (AM). Herein, Sb 2 O 3 -CuO nanocomposites were facilely synthesized by using microwave-assisted heating the mixture solution of AM and Cu 2+ ions and utilized for catalytic degradation of p-nitrophenol (PNP). Interestingly, in the mixed solution of AM and various metal ions (Cu 2+ , Co 2+ , Mn 2+ ), only the mixture of AM and Cu 2+ ions showed efficient fading and absorption reduction effects on PNP after being heated. A series of characterization on morphology and elemental composition confirmed that the nanocomposites obtained after microwave heating was composed of Sb, Cu, O elements (namely Sb 2 O 3 -CuO), and was a layered structure loaded with numerous irregular particles. Compared with other catalysts, the nanocomposite has higher catalytic efficiency (the rate constant of 1.07 s −1 ), and was capable of degrading 96 % of PNP with only 3 s reaction. Electron spin resonance spectroscopy and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis demonstrated that the copper-mediated Fenton-like reaction in the nanocomposites induced hydroxyl radicals which can efficiently attack and degrade PNP. This study presents a novel approach to the synthesis of antimony-metal nanocomposites and provides a potential solution for the treatment of organic pollutants.

To investigate the specific performance enhancement of oilfield surfactants by using sodium p-aminobenzenesulfonate as a connecting group, cationic surfactant N,N-dimethyl-N-(oxiran-2-ylmethyl)dodecan-1-aminium (DDPA) and zwitterionic gemini surfactant sodium 4-[bis(3-(dodecyldimethylamino)-2-hydroxypropyl)amino]benzenesulfonate (DDBS) were synthesized. The oil recovery performance of these surfactants was compared, revealing that DDBS outperforms DDPA in thermal stability, wettability, adsorption, and resistance to temperature and salinity variations, as well as surface/interface activity, except for emulsification. Core flooding experiments, simulating the conditions of the Xinjiang oilfield, demonstrated that DDBS can achieve the same enhanced oil recovery effect at a concentration that is 1/15 of that of DDPA. Compared with water, DDBS and DDPA can incrementally enhance recovery rates by 7.9% and 8.5%. Furthermore, the synergistic formulation of DDBS with sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (SDS) significantly optimized performance, achieving a reduction in interfacial tension to 0.0301 mN m−1. This study provides a research and data foundation for the application of new surfactants in petroleum extraction.
