BACKGROUND/AIM: Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra of nitroxide spin probes are useful for studying biological membranes, and chemical-membrane interaction. The objective of this study was to assess the fluidity of stripped stratum corneum (SC) of normal human skin with EPR. METHODS: We quantified the fluidity of stripped SC (S-SC) by a single stripping with cyanoacrylate onto quartz glass, cover glass or transparent film. Spectra were compared with those of the SC of cadaver skin (C-SC). RESULTS: All S-SC spectra were similar to those of C-SC. There were no statistical differences in the order parameters S between C-SC and those on quartz cell and cover glass, but those of transparent film were significantly higher. Spectra after a month storage at room temperature at 5 degrees C and at -20 degrees C were unchanged. The order parameter S had decreased after a 3-month storage in all conditions. CONCLUSION: This method is useful for the evaluation of the fluidity measurement utilizing EPR spectra of S-SC.

Engineering active sites on catalyst surface to enhance selective oxidation pathways in advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) is key to the efficient removal of pollutants. In this work, a method of loading bimetallic ions and simultaneously activating the surface of swine manure biochar using cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) was developed. By applying SiO templating method to increase the surface area and pore size of the catalyst, this study prepared a copper-iron-loaded layered porous catalyst (CFBC-0.

The electric control of magnetism has been considered to be promising for molecular spintronics and quantum information. However, the spin-electric coupling strength appears to be insufficient for application in most cases. Two major factors capable of amplifying the relative effect are spin-orbit coupling and ferroelectricity.

The excessive utilization and emission of waste plastics have caused serious damage to the environment, and it is of great significance to explore high-value utilization methods for these waste plastics. To address this challenge, functional nano cobalt-loaded porous carbon materials (CoPC) with excellent antibiotic wastewater removal properties were prepared by one-step pyrolysis using waste PET plastics as a carbon source, a process described in this paper. Characterization revealed that the obtained CoPC-2 catalysts had a high degree of defects, a large specific surface area (343.

This work reports a rare radical-doped metal-organic framework (MOF) crystal with one-dimensional open channels achieved by coordination-driven self-assembly. X-ray single-crystal diffraction, solid-state UV-vis-NIR diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, and electron paramagnetic resonance analysis were used to clarify its unique structure and why many organic radicals stably exist in the crystal lattice. The study shows that this crystal has strong intermolecular cofacial π-π interactions, a narrow optical bandgap (only 1.
