Herein hyperbranched polyethyleneimine (hPEI) cryogels are reported for the selective and reversible adsorption of elemental chlorine. The cryogels are prepared in an aqueous solution by crosslinking with glutaraldehyde at subzero temperatures. The final macroporous composites bearing ammonium chloride groups are obtained after freeze-drying.

Background And Purpose: In the Netherlands, the 2022 Quality Standard 'Youth in transition from paediatric to adult care' underscores the importance of structured transitional care for young adults with chronic health conditions. Despite this emphasis, detailed knowledge about transition programs and their successful elements remains sparse. This study aims to bridge this gap by exploring nurse-led transition clinics that had successfully implemented core interventions such as a transition coordinator, warm handover, and individual transition plans.

However, the prediction of the chemical stability of materials in hydrogen is not fully understood. In this study, we show that the work function is a key parameter determining the reducibility (i.

Hydrogen is a crucial element in the green energy transition. However, its tendency to react with and diffuse into surrounding materials poses a significant challenge. Therefore, developing coatings to protect system components in hydrogen environments (molecular, radicals (H*), and plasma) is essential.
