In order to achieve batch production, we propose a simple and fast method to prepare leather-finished plywood. In this study, ethylene-vinyl acetate was selected as the intermediate layer to prepare EVA/polyurethane (PU) leather composites. ESEM, tensile property test and compressive property test were used to characterize the microstructure and physical-mechanical properties of the composites.

However, the mechanism of TBBPA-induced neurotoxicity has not been fully elucidated yet. In this study, using mouse hippocampal neuron cell HT22 as the in vitro model, the neuronal cytotoxicity of TBBPA and the mechanism by focusing on mitophagy have been studied.

- The text discusses the environmental impact of diclofenac sodium (DS) and highlights the need for effective removal strategies due to its toxicity in aquatic environments.
- It describes the development of triallyl isocyanurate-maleic anhydride copolymer microspheres (TMs), which have a high surface area and are functionalized to enhance their ability to adsorb DS effectively.
- The resulting cationic microspheres (Cat-TMs) exhibit rapid adsorption, excellent capacity, and good recyclability, making them a promising solution for removing anionic organic pollutants from wastewater.
Article Synopsis
- The study introduces a novel method to create protein microarrays using cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) with high protein immobilization density.
- Poly(maleic anhydride--vinyl acetate) (poly(MAH--VAc)) brushes are added to the COC surface via UV grafting, increasing surface roughness without significantly affecting transparency.
- The modified COC exhibits an impressive 88% immobilization efficiency for immunoglobulin G (IgG), enabling sensitive detection of target analytes in immunoassays.
Layered Co-Immobilization of β-Glucosidase and Cellulase on Polymer Film by Visible-Light-Induced Graft Polymerization.

Exploring a suitable immobilization strategy to improve catalytic efficiency and reusability of cellulase is of great importance to lowering the cost and promoting the industrialization of cellulose-derived bioethanol. In this work, a layered structure with a thin PEG hydrogel as the inner layer and sodium polyacrylate (PAANa) brush as the outer layer was fabricated on low density polyethylene (LDPE) film by visible-light-induced graft polymerization. Two enzymes, β-glucosidase (BG) and cellulase, were separately coimmobilized onto this hierarchical film.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate the infection levels of the parasitic nematode Angiostrongylus cantonensis in two types of snails, Achatina fulica and Pomacea canaliculata, from the Panyu region of Guangzhou City.
- Researchers analyzed snails by digesting them in artificial stomach fluid, examining the third-stage larvae of the parasite under a microscope, and infecting laboratory rats with these larvae.
- Findings showed that 22.62% of Achatina fulica and 3.08% of Pomacea canaliculata were infected, with notable variations in infection rates across different towns in the region, indicating a more serious infection in Achatina fulica compared to Pomacea canaliculata.
