Adsorption of copper (II) and cadmium (II) ions by in situ doped nano-calcium carbonate high-intensity chitin hydrogels

Detian Dou et al.

Summary: A novel in-situ-doped nano-calcium carbonate chitin hydrogel was synthesized as an efficient adsorbent for Cu (II) and Cd (II) ions, exhibiting superior mechanical properties and excellent adsorption effects. The maximum adsorption rate of the hydrogel was approximately 96%, and the material showed specific selectivity to Cu (II) adsorption. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy confirmed nitrogen and oxygen atoms were involved in chelation with the metal ions, while the composite material exhibited high stability and reproducibility in repeated adsorption cycles.

The first plastic produced, but the latest studied in microplastics research: The assessment of leaching, ecotoxicity and bioadhesion of Bakelite microplastics

Barbara Klun et al.

Summary: This study investigated the ecotoxicity of Bakelite microplastics and its leachates on aquatic organisms. The results showed that both the microplastics and leachates had significant effects on all tested organisms, although the degree varied. Leachates were more toxic to Daphnia magna, while particles had a greater impact on Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata. Bioadhesion of Bakelite microplastics to the surface of Daphnia magna and Lemna minor was confirmed.

Modification assisted Cu2O/MCM-41 nanoarchitecture toward efficient recovery of Au (III)

Chaopeng Liu et al.

Summary: A Cu2O and thiourea functionalized MCM-41 (CMTU) nanoarchitecture was prepared for selectively recovering Au (III) from an acidic solution. The material achieved this through electrostatic attraction and chelation, resulting in the binding of Au (III) to the CMTU surface. Cu (I) then readily reduced Au (III) to Au (I) and Au (0). This material displayed excellent adsorption capacity, followed specific models for adsorption, and exhibited a spontaneously endothermic recovery process, as well as high selectivity and reusability.

A PEGDA hydrogel nanocomposite to improve gold nanoparticles stability for novel plasmonic sensing platforms

B. Miranda et al.

Summary: A 3D plasmonic sensing platform utilizing citrate gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and poly-(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA) hydrogels is proposed for biosensing applications, with tunable optical properties and sensitivity predicted by the Mie theory. AuNPs embedded in the hydrogel network are found to be more stable than in colloidal solutions, with the PEGDA hydrogel physically retaining the gold nanoparticles even after full swelling in liquids. This property enables the development of a biorecognition hybrid device for optical detection of small molecules like biotin.

In Situ Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles on Amino-Grafted Polyacrylonitrile Fiber and Its Antibacterial Activity

Guangyu Zhang et al.

Summary: In this study, amino hyperbranched polymers (HBP)-grafted polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fiber was prepared and characterized, showing excellent antibacterial properties even after multiple home washes. The prepared PAN-G-HBP fiber can complex Ag+ through amino groups of amino HBP, and in a hot steaming condition, Ag+ can be converted to Ag0 through the reducibility of HBP, allowing for uniform coating of Ag NPs on the fiber. The antibacterial reduction of Ag NPs-coated PAN fiber can achieve more than 98.94% even after 20 times of home washing.
