Surface modification using zwitterionic 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) polymers is commonly performed to fabricate interfaces that reduce nonspecific fouling by biomolecules and cells. Accordingly, several clinically used devices, such as guide wires, stents, oxygenators, left ventricular assist devices, and microcatheters have been...

Nonspherical gold nanoparticles (GNPs) are increasingly used to enhance sensitivity and selectivity in analytical methods such as surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) for detecting trace biomarkers. However, there is limited research on the adsorption properties of aromatic thiols onto gold nanoparticles of different morphologies, where surfa...

A series of 2D M(Cu, Zn, Co, and Mn)-TCPP MOFs/TiO2 binary nanocomposites (TCPP = tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin) were constructed by solvothermal in situ loading of flaky TiO2 on the surface of 2D metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). The influence of different coordination metals on the catalytic activity was studied, and it was found that the 2D ...

Ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) is a powerful method to graft various types of polymer chains to a given surface. While surface-initiated ROMP (SI-ROMP) serves as an efficient tool for surface modification and is therefore widely reported, the method requires grafting (1) the olefin substrate and (2) the metathesis catalyst to the sur...

Hydrophilicity is a requisite attribute for the 2D cell culture substrate's surface, facilitating cell adhesion and spreading. Conventional poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) microfluidic chips necessitate protein coatings to enhance hydrophilicity; however, this approach is afflicted by issues of transient efficacy, interference with cell analysis, and...

Chemical separations play a vital role in refinery and reprocessing of critical materials, such as platinum group metals, rare earths, and actinides. The choice of separation system─whether it is liquid-liquid extraction (LLE), sorbents, or membranes─depends on specific needs and applications. In almost all separation processes, the desired metal i...

This paper investigates the effectiveness of two commercial micron zero-valent irons (mZVIs) in removing Sb(V) from antimony mine wastewater. The wastewater contains a range of complex components and heavy metal ions, including As(V), which can impact the removal efficiency of mZVI. The study aims to provide insights into actual working conditions ...

Compared with a single semiconductor, the heterojunction formed by two different semiconductors usually has higher light utilization and better photoelectric performance. By using stable TiO2 nanotubes as the main subject, CdSe/TiO2NTs heterojunctions were synthesized by a hydrothermal method. XRD, TEM, SEM, PL, UV-vis, and EIS were used to charact...

Pillaring MXene with organic molecules is an effective approach to expand the interlayer spacing and increase the accessible surface area for enhanced performance in energy storage applications. Herein, molecular dynamics simulations are employed to explore the pillaring effect of six organic molecules on Ti3C2O2. The interlayer spacing and structu...

Polymer flooding is a cheap and efficient method for tertiary oil recovery. However, the failure of partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM) molecules reduces the oil displacement efficiency under high salinity conditions. In this study, we modified HPAM molecules by sulfonic acid groups with different branched chain lengths, and we characterized...
