Nano-sized polystyrene plastics toxicity: Necroptosis pathway caused by autophagy blockade and lysosomal dysfunction.

The persistent detection of nano-sized plastic particles in humans, animals, and animal-derived products underscores the potential impact of these particles on living organisms. Consequently, the toxicology of such particles has emerged as a pivotal research interests in recent years. In this study, NP was synthesized successfully with an average particle size of 100 nm using a emulsion polymerization method as model particles.

Isolation and Identification of Non- Yeast Producing 2-Phenylethanol and Study of the Ehrlich Pathway and Shikimate Pathway.

2-phenylethanol (2-PE) has been widely utilized as an aromatic additive in various industries, including cosmetics, beer, olive oil, tea, and coffee, due to its rose-honey-like aroma. However, no reports have investigated the production of 2-PE by . Here, (syn.

Synthesis of zinc hydroxystannate/reduced graphene oxide composites using chitosan to improve poly(vinyl chloride) performance.

Chitosan-modified zinc hydroxystannate (ZHS-CS) was synthesized using the cations of the biomaterial chitosan (CS) and ion replacement strategy. A ZHS-CS and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) hybrid flame retardant (ZHS-CS/rGO) was synthesized for use in flexible poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC). Scanning electron microscopy images indicated that ZHS-CS and rGO were evenly dispersed in ZHS-CS/rGO without agglomeration.
