Hydrolytically stable foamed HKUST-1@CMC composites realize high-efficient separation of U(VI).

ABSTRACT: HKUST-1@CMC (HK@CMC) composites that show good acid and alkali resistance and radiation resistance were successfully synthesized by introducing carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) onto the surface of HKUST-1 using a foaming strategy. For the first time, the composites were explored as efficient adsorbents for U(VI) trapping from aqueous solution, with encouraging results of large adsorption capacity, fast adsorption kinetics, and desirable selectivity toward U(VI) over a series of competing ions. More importantly, a hybrid derivative film was successfully prepared for the dynamic adsorption of U(VI). The results show that ∼90% U(VI) can be removed when 45 mg L^-1 U(VI) was passed through the film one time, and the removal percentage is still more than 80% even after four adsorption-desorption cycles, ranking one of the most practical U(VI) scavengers. This work offers new clues for application of the Metal-organic-framework-based materials in the separation of radionuclides from wastewater.

Identification of hydrolytically stable and selective P2Y(1) receptor agonists.

Project description:P2Y nucleotide receptors (P2YRs) are attractive pharmaceutical targets. Most P2YR agonists proposed as drugs consist of a nucleotide scaffold, but their use is limited due to their chemical and enzymatic instabilities. To identify drug candidates, we developed non-hydrolyzable P2YR agonists. We synthesized ATP-beta,gamma-CH(2) analogues 2-4, and evaluated their chemical and metabolic stabilities and activities at P2Y(1,2,4,6) receptors. Analogues 2-4 exhibited t(1/2) values of 14.5-65 h in gastric juice pH. They were completely resistant to alkaline phosphatase for 30 min at 37 degrees C and slowly hydrolyzed in human blood serum (t(1/2) 12.7-71.9 h). In comparison to ATP, analogues 2-4 were barely hydrolyzed by nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolases, NTPDase1,2,3,8 (< 8% hydrolysis), and nucleotide pyrophosphatases, NPP1,3 (< or = 10% hydrolysis). Analogues 2 and 4B were selective agonists of the P2Y(1)R with EC(50)s of 0.08 and 17.2 microM, respectively. These features make analogues 2 and 4B potential therapeutic agents for health disorders involving the P2Y(1)R.

Nonswelling and Hydrolytically Stable Hydrogels Uncover Cellular Mechanosensing in 3D.

Project description:While matrix stiffness regulates cell behavior on 2D substrates, recent studies using synthetic hydrogels have suggested that in 3D environments, cell behavior is primarily impacted by matrix degradability, independent of stiffness. However, these studies did not consider the potential impact of other confounding matrix parameters that typically covary with changes in stiffness, particularly, hydrogel swelling and hydrolytic stability, which may explain the previously observed distinctions in cell response in 2D versus 3D settings. To investigate how cells sense matrix stiffness in 3D environments, a nonswelling, hydrolytically stable, linearly elastic synthetic hydrogel model is developed in which matrix stiffness and degradability can be tuned independently. It is found that matrix degradability regulates cell spreading kinetics, while matrix stiffness dictates the final spread area once cells achieve equilibrium spreading. Importantly, the differentiation of human mesenchymal stromal cells toward adipocytes or osteoblasts is regulated by the spread state of progenitor cells upon initiating differentiation. These studies uncover matrix stiffness as a major regulator of cell function not just in 2D, but also in 3D environments, and identify matrix degradability as a critical microenvironmental feature in 3D that in conjunction with matrix stiffness dictates cell spreading, cytoskeletal state, and stem cell differentiation outcomes.

Improve Dentin Bonding Performance Using a Hydrolytically Stable, Ether-Based Primer.

Project description:The objective of this study is to replace a traditional methacrylate-based primer (glycine, N-(2-hydroxy-3-(2-methyl-1-oxo-2-propenyl)propyl)-N-(4-methylphenyl) monosodium salt, NTG-GMA) with a hydrolytically stable ether-based primer (glycine, N-2-hydroxy-3-(4-vinylbenzyloxy)-propyl-N-(4-methylphenyl), monosodium salt, NTG-VBGE). The performance and durability of bonding composites to detin of two primers combined with methacrylate-based or ether-based adhesives were evaluated using shear bond strength (SBS) and micro-tensile bond strength (μTBS) combined with thermal cycling. The hydrolysis resistance of NTG-VBGE against hydrolysis was tested by challenging primed hydroxyapatite crystals with an esterase. The hydrophilicity of the primers and the resin spreading kinetics of adhesives on primed dentin were characterized by water contact angle measurements. The new primer NTG-VBGE was found to be compatible with both methacrylate-based adhesives and ether-based adhesives. The highest μTBS values were found in the test group of NTG-VBGE and ether-based adhesive, which was consistent with the resin spreading kinetics results. The more hydrophobic and hydrolytically stable primer/adhesive achieved improved dentin infiltration and bonding strength, suggesting significant potential for further developing dental restorative materials with extended service life.

Leveraging Nanocrystal HKUST-1 in Mixed-Matrix Membranes for Ethylene/Ethane Separation.

Project description:The energy-intensive ethylene/ethane separation process is a key challenge to the petrochemical industry. HKUST-1, a metal-organic framework (MOF) which possesses high accessible surface area and porosity, is utilized in mixed-matrix membrane fabrication to investigate its potential for improving the performance for C2H4/C2H6 separation. Prior to membrane fabrication and gas permeation analysis, nanocrystal HKUST-1 was first synthesized. This step is critical in order to ensure that defect-free mixed-matrix membranes can be formed. Then, polyimide-based polymers, ODPA-TMPDA and 6FDA-TMPDA, were chosen as the matrices. Our findings revealed that 20 wt% loading of HKUST-1 was capable of improving C2H4 permeability (155% for ODPA-TMPDA and 69% for 6FDA-TMPDA) without excessively sacrificing the C2H4/C2H6 selectivity. The C2H4 and C2H6 diffusivity, as well as solubility, were also improved substantially as compared to the pure polymeric membranes. Overall, our results edge near the upper bound, confirming the effectiveness of leveraging nanocrystal HKUST-1 filler for performance enhancements in mixed-matrix membranes for C2H4/C2H6 separation.

Efficient and Stable CsPb(Br/I)3@Anthracene Composites for White Light-Emitting Devices.

Project description:Inorganic perovskite quantum dots bear many unique properties that make them potential candidates for optoelectronic applications, including color display and lighting. However, the white emission with inorganic perovskite quantum dots has rarely been realized due to the anion-exchange reaction. Here, we proposed a one-pot preparation to fabricate inorganic perovskite quantum dot-based white light-emitting composites by introducing anthracene as a blue emission component. The as-prepared white light-emitting composite exhibited a photoluminescence quantum yield of 41.9%. By combining CsPb(Br/I)3@anthracene composites with UV light-emitting device (LED) chips, white light-emitting devices with a color rendering index of 90 were realized with tunable color temperature from warm white to cool white. These results can promote the application of inorganic perovskite quantum dots in the field of white LEDs.

Rapid and Stable Plasma Transformation of Polyester Fabrics for Highly Efficient Oil-Water Separation.

Project description:Fabrics with special wettability have drawn growing attention in recent years in the area of oil-water separation due to their low cost, good flexibility, and ease of handling. However, an efficient and fast method to enable the required wetting state on fabrics still remains a challenge. In this work, a one-step, rapid, and chemical-free hydrogen plasma treatment is reported to prepare a superhydrophobic and oleophilic polyester fabric. The as-prepared fabrics display a static water contact angle of 153.2° with excellent oil-water separation capability. The mechanism of surface transformation is discussed through chemical analyses, which indicate a significant removal of carboxyl group from the pristine hydrophilic surface. This developed method is envisaged to be used for on-demand large-scale production of materials for emergency oil cleanup through either separation or selective adsorption.

Molecular dynamics simulation of adsorption and separation of xylene isomers by Cu-HKUST-1.

Project description:Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are widely used in the adsorption separation of various gases. A fundamental understanding of the effective separation of xylene isomers helps improve aromatic products' separation efficiency and reduce industrial separation costs. Grand Canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulations combined with Molecular Science is widely used to predict gas adsorption and diffusion in single crystals with metal-organic frameworks. We performed a GCMC + MD combined approach to study xylene isomers' adsorption and separation in Cu-HKUST-1 to predict the permeability and selectivity of the ternary gas mixture in the MOF with the adsorption and diffusion usage data. Most current studies take into account the computational cost and difficulty. Most recent research models are limited to the adsorption of a single or specific molecule, such as hydrogen, methane, carbon dioxide, etc. For this reason, we report an attempt to study the adsorption separation of aromatic gases (p-xylene/o-xylene/m-xylene) based on Cu-HKUST-1 single-crystal materials based on some previous research methods with an appropriate increase in computational cost. To predict the adsorption selectivity and permeability of the ternary mixture of xylene isomers on the MOF surface, the model simulation calculates key parameters of gas adsorption, including gas adsorption volume (N), the heat of adsorption (Q st), Henry coefficient (K), and diffusion coefficient (D).

Morphology and properties of foamed high crystallinity PEEK prepared by high temperature thermally induced phase separation.

Project description:Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is a high-performance semi-crystalline thermoplastic polymer with outstanding mechanical properties, high thermal stability, resistance to most common solvents, and good biocompatibility. A high temperature thermally induced phase separation technique was used to produce PEEK foams with controlled foam density from PEEK in 4-phenylphenol (4PPH) solutions. Physical and mechanical properties, foam and bulk density, surface area, and pore morphology of foamed PEEK were characterized and the role of PEEK concentration and cooling rate was investigated. Porous PEEK with densities ranging from 110 to 360 kg/m3 with elastic moduli and crush strength ranging from 13 to 125 MPa and 0.8 to 7 MPa, respectively, was produced.
