Adsorption isotherms of binary aqueous solutions of methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, 2-propanol, tert-butanol, and 1-butanol are demonstrated, being calculated by using the Gibbs adsorption equation with experimental data of surface tension and vapor pressure found in the literature. For all of the alcohol-water mixtures, the maximum value in the adsorption isotherm, namely, the maximum surface excess is about that expected for the formation of a monolayer. Furthermore, the composition of the mixture for the maximum surface excess coincides with that corresponding to the minimum in the excess partial molar volume of the solutes. These results indicate that the hydrophobic hydration in bulk induces the surface excess of the alcohols and after a monolayer is formed, the hydrophobic hydration itself is no longer retained.

Erbium oxide nanoparticles (ErO-NPs) have attracted significant attention for their unique physicochemical properties, including high surface area, biocompatibility, and stability. However, the impact of ErO-NPs on lymphoma cells (LCs) has not been explored, making this an innovative avenue for exploration. Therefore, the current study aimed to explore the influence of ErO-NPs on cell viability, genomic and mitochondrial DNA integrity, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and apoptosis induction in human U937 LCs.

Migration of implanted self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS) in the malignant or benign esophageal stricture is a common complication but not yet resolved. Herein, this research develops a hydrogel-impregnated robust interlocking nano connector (HiRINC) to ensure adhesion and reduce the mechanical mismatch between SEMSs and esophageal tissues. Featuring a network-like porous layer, HiRINC significantly enhances adhesion and energy dissipation during esophageal peristalsis by utilizing mechanical interlocking and increasing hydrogen bonding sites, thereby securing SEMS to tissues.

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.

In this study, a CeO/attapulgite (ATP) composite was synthesized via a straightforward hydrothermal method to efficiently remove excess fluoride from water. The structural and surface properties of the synthesized adsorbent were systematically characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The fluoride adsorption capacity of the CeO/ATP composite was systematically evaluated, reaching a maximum of 47.

Plasma surface treatment of ceramic particles has emerged as a promising approach for developing biocomposites intended for use in tissue engineering applications. Introducing functional groups on particle surfaces promotes changes in material surface properties, enhancing adhesion, biocompatibility, and reactivity. It can also mitigate degradation during the processing of polymer matrices in composite materials.
