Enhancement of mechanical properties in reactive polyurethane film via in-situ assembly of embedded cellulose nanocrystals.

Comparing to the solvent-based and waterborne polyurethanes (PU), the solvent-free reactive PU (RPU) is prepared via in-situ polymerization and film-formation of isocyanate-capped prepolymers and macromolecular polyols in solvent-free system. Thus, the carbon emissions and environmental pollutions are significantly reduced. However, the rapid polymerization also challenges the well control of structure and properties, especially the ordered microstructures.

Robust dioxin-linked metallophthalocyanine tbo topology covalent organic frameworks and their photocatalytic properties.

Constructing 3D functional covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with both robust linkage and planar macrocycle building blocks still remains a challenge due to the difficulty in adjusting both the crystallinity and the dominant 2D structures. In addition, it is also challenging to selectively convert inert C(sp)-H bonds into value-added chemicals. Herein, robust 3D COFs, USTB-28-M (M=Co, Ni, Cu), have been polymerized from the nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction of -symmetric 2,3,6,7,14,15-hexahydroxyltriptycene with -symmetric hexadecafluorophthalocyanine (MPcF) under solvothermal conditions.

The impact of industrial synergistic agglomeration on residents' health levels.

Introduction: This study investigates the impact of industrial synergistic agglomeration on residents' health levels in China. It explores how green and traditional industry agglomeration models influence residents' health levels outcomes and identifies the underlying mechanisms driving these effects.

Methods: Using panel data from 283 prefecture-level cities and above in China from 2003 to 2020, the study applies the Generalized Spatial Two-Stage Least Squares (GS2SLS) method.

Salt stress-related function of the oil body-associated protein gene LcOBAP2B in Leymus chinensis.

Oil bodies are dynamic organelles in plant seeds. Oil body-associated protein (OBAP) is involved in regulating the size and vitality of oil bodies in overwintering seeds, and affects lipid mobilization and stress resistance during seed germination. In this study, we cloned an oil body associated protein gene LcOBAP2B (Leymus chinensis oil body associated protein 2B).

Trichoderma virens XZ11-1 producing siderophores inhibits the infection of Fusarium oxysporum and promotes plant growth in banana plants.

Background: Banana Fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense is a soil-borne fungal disease.
