In this study, thermo-sensitive poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide) (PNP) was polymerized with pH-sensitive poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) to prepare a PAA-b-PNP block copolymer. Above its cloud point, the block copolymer self-assembled into nanoparticles (NPs), encapsulating the anticancer drug camptothecin (CPT) in situ. Chitosan (CS) and fucoidan (Fu) further modified these NPs, forming Fu-CPT-NPs to enhance biocompatibility, drug encapsulation efficiency (EE), and loading content (LC), crucially facilitating P-selectin targeting of lung cancer cells through a drug delivery system. The EE and LC reached 82 % and 3.5 %, respectively. According to transmission electron microscope observation, these Fu-CPT-NPs had uniform spherical shapes with an average diameter of ca. 250 nm. They could maintain their stability in a pH range of 5.0–6.8. In vitro experimental results revealed that the Fu-CPT-NPs exhibited good biocompatibility and had anticancer activity after encapsulating CPT. It could deliver CPT to cancer cells by targeting P-selectin, effectively increasing cell uptake and inducing cell apoptosis. Animal study results showed that the Fu-CPT-NPs inhibited lung tumor growth by increasing tumor cell apoptosis without causing significant tissue damage related to generating reactive oxygen species in lung cancer cells. This system can effectively improve drug-delivery efficiency and treatment effects and has great potential for treating lung cancer. © 2024 Elsevier B.V.

The microalgal-based production of fucoxanthin has emerged as an imperative research endeavor due to its antioxidant, and anticancer properties. In this study, three brown marine microalgae, namely Skeletonema costatum, Chaetoceros gracilis, and Pavlova sp., were screened for fucoxanthin production. All strains displayed promising results, with Pavlova sp. exhibiting the highest fucoxanthin content (27.91 mg/g) and productivity (1.16 mg/L·day). Moreover, the influence of various cultivation parameters, such as culture media, salinity, sodium nitrate concentration, inoculum size, light intensity, and iron concentration, were investigated and optimized, resulting in a maximum fucoxanthin productivity of 7.89 mg/L·day. The investigation was further expanded to large-scale outdoor cultivation using 50 L tubular photobioreactors, illustrating the potential of Pavlova sp. and the cultivation process for future commercialization. The biomass and fucoxanthin productivity for the large-scale cultivation were 70.7 mg/L·day and 4.78 mg/L·day, respectively. Overall, the findings demonstrated considerable opportunities for fucoxanthin synthesis via microalgae cultivation and processing. © 2024 Elsevier Ltd

Cobalt-chromium and nickel-chromium metal alloys have been widely used as biomaterials in the dental field due to their excellent physical-mechanical properties and biocompatibility, as well as the low cost of the material. However, in unfavorable environments, such as the oral cavity, these dental prostheses composed of these alloys can suffer alterations in their structure where they can undergo rapid changes with the surface corrosion process, which can vary with pH and temperature, typically related to changes in the patient's diet. The aim of this work is to carry out a comparative study between the cathodic cage (CC) and hollow cathode (HC) methods, in which a plasma deposition treatment of titanium nitride (TiN) thin films was carried out on CoCr and NiCr samples, in order to subsequently evaluate their surface characteristics and tribological properties in relation to each method. The samples were characterized using X-ray diffractometry (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM/EDS) and micro abrasive wear tests on each sample from the three groups of alloys mentioned. It was observed that the TiN films provided greater resistance to the wear mechanism of all the samples, where through the characterizations, it can be inferred that the two types of treatments carried out on the samples are suitable for dental applications. © 2024, The Authors.

In this work, the influence of the solidification process on the microstructure, thermodynamic parameters and mechanical properties of CuAlBeNbNi shape memory alloy (SMA) was investigated. While directional solidification has been used to improve functional properties in Cu-based SMAs, the squeeze casting process has not yet been explored. The results indicate that the processes of unidirectional solidification and squeeze casting offer an alternative method to modify the thermodynamic parameters, mechanical properties, and microstructural properties of the CuAlBeNbNi SMA while keeping the composition constant. This study aims to fill the knowledge gap regarding the impact of solidification processes on the properties of Cu-based SMAs, specifically investigating CuAlBeNbNi SMAs. © 2023, The Authors.

In recent years, heterogeneous photocatalysis has emerged as a promising alternative for the treatment of organic pollutants. This technique offers several advantages, such as low cost and ease of operation. However, finding a semiconductor material that is both operationally viable and highly active under solar irradiation remains a challenge, often requiring materials of nanometric size. Furthermore, in many processes, photocatalysts are suspended in the solution, requiring additional steps to remove them. This can render the technique economically unviable, especially for nanosized catalysts. This work demonstrated the feasibility of using a structured photocatalyst (ZnO, g-C3N4, and carbon xerogel) optimized for this photodegradation process. The synthesized materials were characterized by nitrogen adsorption and desorption, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). Adhesion testing demonstrated the efficiency of the deposition technique, with film adhesion exceeding 90%. The photocatalytic evaluation was performed using a mixture of three textile dyes in a recycle photoreactor, varying pH (4.7 and 10), recycle flow rate (2, 4, and 6 L h−1), immobilized mass (1, 2, and 3 mg cm−2), monolith height (1.5, 3.0, and 4.5 cm), and type of radiation (solar and visible artificials;and natural solar). The structured photocatalyst degraded over 99% of the dye mixture under artificial radiation. The solar energy results are highly promising, achieving a degradation efficiency of approximately 74%. Furthermore, it was possible to regenerate the structured photocatalyst up to seven consecutive times using exclusively natural solar light and maintain a degradation rate of around 70%. These results reinforce the feasibility and potential application of this system in photocatalytic reactions, highlighting its effectiveness and sustainability. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2024.

Developing biodegradable oil absorption fibrous materials is essential because discarding conventional separation materials could cause secondary pollution due to their nondegradable properties. In this study, highly hydrophobic and superoleophilic porous polylactic acid (PLA) fibers were prepared using centrifugal spinning combined with nonsolvent-induced phase separation. The porous structure of PLA fibers was controlled by the ratio between good solvent and nonsolvent in the spinning solutions. The morphology and physical properties of the obtained PLA fibers were investigated using various measurement techniques. The PLA fibrous membrane prepared from a PLA solution containing chloroform/dimethylformamide (80/20 w/w) indicated not only a high water contact angle but also a high oil sorption value. The porous PLA fibers are a potential candidate for use as green materials for environmental applications. © 2024, The Authors. All rights reserved.

Microplastics are a growing environmental concern, with a large body of evidence documenting substantial distribution of plastic material in virtually all environmental compartments. Countermeasures that help to bind, aggregate, or coalesce these distributed particles might result in lower human and animal exposures. Pressure sensitive adhesives (PSAs) have been identified as a viable microplastic (MP) capture mechanism with a range of potential use conditions. As with any countermeasure, there is a need to evaluate their collection efficiency, cost, ease of installation, etc. Expanding on previous work, submerged, spray-coated PSAs were investigated as a quick and low-cost quantitative method to assess MP binding in water. Two molecular weights of poly(2-ethylhexyl acrylate) PSA (92k, 950k, and 50:50 bimodal distribution) were applied as spray-coated substrates to compare MP-adhesive interactions. Thin films of PSA (92k 6 ± 1 μm, 950k 4 ± 2 μm, 50:50 BD 6.5 ± 1 μm) were sprayed on borosilicate glass slides using a commercial air brush. Polydisperse nylon-12 particles varying in size from 15-30 µm in diameter were dispersed in aqueous solution between 0.01 and 5 mg mL -1 and agitated under ambient conditions as quantitative comparisons of adhesive wettability and net capture. Mixed assays were also performed comparing binding of common MP species including polyethylene, polystyrene, and polyester particles and fibers to understand how varying composition, size, and form factor affect adsorption. The glass slide method demonstrated linear trends associated with the MP binding to glass slides with respect both to exposure time and MP concentration. The adhesive wettability demonstrates bounding parameters under which high wettability adhesives excel at MP capture but may compromise the integrity of the adhesive film. © 2022, The Authors.

Nano-fillers integrated into mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) present promising alternatives for organic solvent nanofiltration (OSN). In this work, our objective is to enhance OSN performance by incorporating terephthalate metal-organic frameworks (M-BDC, where M = Zr or Cu) into a P84 matrix to fabricate M-BDC/P84 composite MMMs. This work focuses on the influence of metal cluster variation on particle size, pore size distribution, and specific surface area of M-BDC, while systematically investigating the impact of M-BDC addition on OSN performance and underlying separation mechanisms. The synthesized membranes underwent comprehensive characterization using SEM, XRD, ATR-FTIR, contact angle, zeta potential, and thermogravimetric analysis. Significantly, all MMMs exhibited superior permeance and methyl blue (MB) rejection compared to P84 membranes. This enhancement is attributed to the improved interfacial contact between M-BDC and P84, as well as their effective dispersion within the membrane matrix. Interestingly, comparative analysis between Cu-BDC/P84 and Zr-BDC/P84 MMMs revealed the latter's superior permeance, attributed to its larger pore size and surface area. The resulting MMMs demonstrated outstanding MB rejection (>96.7%) with ethanol permeance of 21.5 and 19.0 LMH/Bar for Zr-BDC/P84 and Cu-BDC/P84 MMMs, respectively. Furthermore, the stable performance of M-BDC-based MMMs during prolonged MB/ethanol operation underscores their potential significance in the field of OSN, providing valuable insights for future membrane design and application. © 2024 Elsevier B.V.

arXiv 2024年

作者： Callahan, William A. Egbo, Kingsley Lee, Cheng-Wei Ginley, David O'Hayre, Ryan Zakutayev, Andriy Materials Science Center National Renewable Energy Laboratory GoldenCO80401 United States Advanced Energy Systems Graduate Program Colorado School of Mines GoldenCO80401 United States Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering Colorado School of Mines GoldenCO80401 United States

β-Ga2O3-based semiconductor heterojunctions have recently demonstrated improved performance at high voltages and elevated temperatures and are thus promising for applications in power electronic devices and harsh-environment sensors. However, the long-term reliability of these ultra-wide band gap (UWBG) semiconductor devices remains barely addressed and may be strongly influenced by chemical reactions at the p-n heterojunction interface. Here, we experimentally demonstrate operation and evaluate the reliability of Cr2O3:Mg/β-Ga2O3 p-n heterojunction diodes at during extended operation at 600◦C, as well as after 30 repeated cycles between 25-550◦C. The calculated pO3-temperature phase stability diagram of the Ga-Cr-O material system predicts that Ga2O3 and Cr2O3 should remain thermodynamically stable in contact with each other over a wide range of oxygen pressures and operating temperatures. The fabricated Cr2O3:Mg/β-Ga2O3 p-n heterojunction diodes show room-temperature on/off ratios >104 at ±5V and a breakdown voltage (VBr) of -390V. The leakage current increases with increasing temperature up to 600◦C, which is attributed to Poole-Frenkel emission with a trap barrier height of 0.19 eV. Over the course of a 140-hour thermal soak at 600◦C, both the device turn-on voltage and on-state resistance increase from 1.08V and 5.34 mΩ-cm2 to 1.59V and 7.1 mΩ-cm2 respectively. This increase is attributed to the accumulation of Mg and MgO at the Cr2O3/Ga2O3 interface as observed from TOF-SIMS analysis. These findings inform future design strategies of UWBG semiconductor devices for harsh environment operation and underscore the need for further reliability assessments for β-Ga2O3 based devices. © 2024, CC BY.
