The results showed that the maximum adsorption capacity reached 141.09 mg g-1 when the initial concentration of metal ions was 50 mg L-1 at pH 6 and 20 °C. The adsorption process followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir adsorption isotherm model. The IIZMS-G exhibits an efficient selective adsorption of U(vi) ions from aqueous solutions with competing ions. In addition, the IIZMS-G exhibited excellent inhibitory effects on Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, and the inhibitory rate was 99.99% and 98.96% respectively. These results suggest that the prepared IIZMS-G adsorbent may promote the development strategy of novel high selectivity and antifouling adsorbents for uranium recovery from seawater.This study explored the structural, electrical, and magnetic properties of diamagnetic aluminium (Al3+) substituted nickel-zinc-cobalt (Ni-Zn-Co) mixed spinel ferrites, though the research on this area is in the infancy stage. Single-phase cubic spinel structures with the Fd3̄m space group of the synthesized Ni0.4Zn0.35Co0.25Fe(2-x)Al x O4 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.12) ferrite samples were confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The average particle size ranged from 0.67 to 0.39 μm. Selected area electron diffraction (SAED) patterns were indexed according to the space group Fd3m, representing the particle's crystallinity. The optical band gaps ranged from 4.784 eV to 4.766 eV. Frequency-dependent dielectric constants and ac conductivity measurement suggested that the prepared ferrites were highly resistive. Relaxation times were reduced to a low value from 45.45 μs to 1.54 μs with the composition x. The Curie temperatures (T c) were 615-623 K for all samples. Real part permeabilities (μ /) were relatively stable up to an extended frequency range of 106 Hz with relative quality factors (RQF) of around 103. Tuning of the properties indicates that the fabricated ferrites may be promising for high-frequency electronic devices.The nitrogen-bearing heterocycle pyridine in its several analogous forms occupies an important position as a precious source of clinically useful agents in the field of medicinal chemistry research. This privileged scaffold has been consistently incorporated in a diverse range of drug candidates approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration). This moiety has attracted increasing attention from several disease states owing to its ease of parallelization and testing potential pertaining to the chemical space. In the next few years, a larger share of novel pyridine-based drug candidates is expected. This review unifies the current advances in novel pyridine-based molecular frameworks and their unique clinical relevance as reported over the last two decades. It highlights an inclination to the use of pyridine-based molecules in drug crafting and the subsequent emergence of several potent and eligible candidates against a range of diversified diseases.MnCsPbBr3 PQDs are achieved by hot injection method. As the amount of Mn doping is gradually increased, the photoluminescence (PL) spectra shows a slight blue shift. Mn-doped PQDs exhibit higher quantum efficiency of 83.9% and longer lifetimes of 267 ns. The stability test was performed to assess the susceptibility of the PQDs to polar solutions. It was figured out that although the stabilities of CsPbBr3 PQDs and Mn-doped PQDs decreased as the polarity of solution increased, Mn-doped PQDs still maintained higher PL intensity than undoped PQD. Notably, 73% PL intensity of MnPQDs was maintained which is nearly three times as much as undoped PQDs in water. We found polarity would induce drastic degradation of CsPbBr3 QDs. The steady-state spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) verified that CsPbBr3 QDs tend to aggregate to form larger particles under continuous light soaking. Our work reveals the main origin of instability in CsPbBr3 QDs and provides reference to engineering such QDs towards optimal device application.Shape memory hydrogels have attracted extensive attention in fields such as artificial tissues, biomimetic devices and diagnostics, and intelligent biosensors. However, the practical applications were hindered by the absence of self-healing capability and multi-stimuli-responsiveness. To address these issues, we developed a shape memory hydrogel with self-healing and dual stimuli-response performance. The hydrogel system was constructed via an interpenetrating network consisting of in situ radical polymerization and host-guest interaction. The hydrogel exhibited rapid self-healing property, which can be stretched after self-healing for 1 min at 25 °C. Besides, the hydrogel displayed varied swelling performance in different light or solvent conditions. Moreover, the hydrogel showed a dual stimuli-responsive shape memory effect to ultraviolet (UV) light and ionic strength in 1 min. Such a shape memory hydrogel with self-healing ability and multi-stimuli-responsive properties will offer an option toward intelligent soft materials for biomedical and bionic research.This study assessed the effect of kaolinite edge surfaces on solid-state reactions. Specifically, Tb3+-doped metastable CaAl2Si2O8 showing green phosphorescence was prepared via a solid-state reaction between expanded kaolinite, a methoxy-modified kaolinite, having Tb3+ ions adsorbed on its edge surfaces and CaCO3. This material cannot be obtained by the conventional grinding of kaolinite, CaCO3 and Tb2O3, indicating that the use of kaolinite edge surfaces is advantageous as a means of achieving certain solid-state reactions.Copolymerization of ethylene (E) with 5-vinyl-2-norbornene (VNB) catalyzed by ansa-metallocenes allows the precise control of essential polymeric properties such as comonomer incorporation, molecular weight (M w), and polydispersity (Đ). Significant efforts have been devoted to synthesizing and developing novel catalysts, cocatalysts, and activators, although the fundamental elements of catalytic processes remain unclear. For example, it is questionable how polymeric catalysts are divided across dormant and active sites and how this distribution affects the order of monomers for the propagation rate, which widely vary in the literature. Furthermore, although the empirical correlation between the monomers and average M w has been established in many systems, the fundamental processes of chain termination remain unknown. Furthermore, the involvement of ion-pairing in metallocene-catalyzed polymerization and the termination mechanisms are also contentious issues. In this study, we describe the use of a quenched-erimentally, such as the E/VNB co-polymer activity and VNB mol%, propagation rate decrease in the polymerization time (t p) of 120 s to 1800 s, crystalline properties, and significant increase in molecular weight. The active center [Zr]/[*C] fraction considerably increased in the initial (t p) 840 s, and subsequently tended to the steady stage of 33%, which is lower than previously reported E homo- and E/P copolymerization. The lower [C*]/[Zr] in both the early and stable stages, decrease in VNB mol%, and R p with t p can be associated with the more significant fraction of Cp2Zr-CH2CH3-type dormant site by the β-agostic hydrogen interaction with the Cp2Zr metal. The t p versus R pE, R pVNB, k pE, k pVNB, and [Zr]/[C*] count could be fitted to a model that invokes deactivation of the growing polymer chains. In the case of the thermal behavior of the copolymers (melting temperature (T m) and crystalline temperature (ΔH m)), T m varied from 101 °C to 121 °C, while ΔH m varied from 9 to 16 (J g-1).Fructose is widely used in the food industry. However, it may be involved in diseases by generating harmful advanced glycation end-products. We have designed and synthesized a novel fluorescent probe for fructose detection by combining a phenylboronic acid group with a BODIPY-based hydrophobicity probe. This probe showed a linear fluorescence response to d-fructose concentration in the range of 100-1000 μM, with a detection limit of 32 μM, which is advantageous for the simple and sensitive determination of fructose.It is of practical interest to obtain polymers with complex material properties in a simplified synthetic manner for a broader range of practical applications. In this work, we constructed a dynamic reversible adhesive based on branched polyamine (PA) and p-formylphenyl acrylate (FPA) by simultaneously performing Michael addition reaction and Schiff base reaction. Branched polyamines provide a large number of amino groups as reaction sites that can react with both carbon-carbon double bonds and aldehyde groups. This enables the branched polymeric adhesive system to have a large number of Schiff base bonds within it, an important property of Schiff base bonds is that they are dynamically reversible. This allows us to prepare adhesives with hyperbranched crosslinking networks and recycling properties, and we have verified that FPA-PA adhesives do not exhibit significant fatigue after multiple recycling through the gluing-destruction-gluing process. The resulting FPA-PA adhesives produce tough bonding on multi-substrates such as steel, aluminum, glass, PVC, PTFE, birch and moso bamboo, which exhibited by lap shear strength of 2.4 MPa, 1.7 MPa, 1.4 MPa, 1.3 MPa, 0.4 MPa, 1.6 MPa, and 1.8 MPa, respectively. The feasibility of the synthesis idea of simultaneous Michael addition reaction and Schiff base reaction was demonstrated, as well as the excellent performance and great application potential of FPA-PA adhesives to be recyclable on multi-substrates.Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections are attributed to its ability to form biofilms and are difficult to eliminate with antibiotic treatment. Biofilm formation is regulated by quorum sensing (QS), an intracellular bacterial communication mechanism that allows the activation of numerous virulence factors and secondary metabolites. Targeting the QS pathway is a potential approach that prevents QS-controlled phenotypes and biofilm formation. For the first time, the current work has identified antiquorum sensing activity in the partially purified four fractions from the hot ethyl acetate extract of Cassia fistula fruit pods. Of the four fractions, only fraction-1 gave decreased AHL activity; the phytoconstituents in this fraction were identified as rhein, 3-aminodibenzofuran, 5-(hydroxymethyl)-2-(dimethoxymethyl)furan, and dihydrorhodamine. Fraction-1 (1 mg ml-1) and rhein (0.15 mg ml-1) showed 63% and 42.7% reduction in short-chain AHL production, respectively, without hindering the bacterial growth. Fraction-1 inhnovel phytotherapeutics in controlling emerging infections of antibiotic-resistant bacterial pathogens like Pseudomonas aeruginosa.Traditional matrices for matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) are usually crystalline small molecules. Cytosporone B The heterogeneous co-crystallization of the analyte and the matrix creates a sweet spot effect and reduces point-to-point reproducibility. In this study, an amorphous poly-N-vinylcarbazole polymer (PVK) was studied as a novel matrix for MALDI-TOF MS to detect various low molecular weight compounds (LMWCs) in the negative ion mode. The PVK achieved excellent matrix action and showed high sensitivity, good salt tolerance, and reproducibility. These results significantly broaden the design rules for new and efficient polymeric MALDI matrices.
