A newly synthesized poly(glycidyl methacrylate-co-3-thienylmethylmethacrylate) [poly(GMA-co-MTM)] was designed to fabricate various HRP electrodes for detection of phenol derivatives. The results showed that the poly(GMA-co-MTM)/polypyrrole composite film microarchitecture provided a good electroactivity as a result of pyrrole and thiophene interaction, and provided chemical bonds for enzyme immobilization via the epoxy groups of poly(GMA-co-MTM). The glassy carbon-based working electrode displayed significantly higher performance for the same composite film configuration comparing to the gold-based working electrode. Poly(GMA-co-MTM)/polypyrrole/HRP coated glassy carbon electrode exhibited a fast response less than 3s, a high sensitivity (200 nA microM(-1)for hydroquinone), a good operational stability (%RSD values ranged between 2 and 5.1 for all phenolics), a long-term stability (retained about 80% of initial activity at the end of 40th day) and a low detection limit ranging between 0.13 and 1.87 microM for the tested.

The mechanical properties of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are of high fundamental and practical relevance. A particularly intriguing technique for determining anisotropic elastic tensors is Brillouin scattering, which so far has rarely been used for highly complex materials like MOFs. In the present contribution, we apply this technique to study a newly synthesized MOF-type material, referred to as GUT2.

Industrial wastewater containing heavy metal ions presents serious economic risk to the environment. In this study, a novel compound of aminated cellulose with jeffamine EDR148 was prepared to improve cellulose's adsorptive behavior towards metal ions. This study undertook a straightforward and efficient cellulose modification through homogeneous chlorination in N,N'-butylmethylimidazolium chloride to produce 6-deoxychlorocellulose (Cell-Cl), followed by a reaction with jeffamine EDR148 and ultimately resulting in the formation of aminated cellulose (Cell-Jef148).

In organic synthesis, the solvent is the chemical compound that represents the largest proportion of the process. However, conventional solvents are often toxic and dangerous for the environment, and an interesting alternative is to replace them by water. In this context, catalyst surfactants allow both organic reagents in water to be solubilized and organic reactions to be catalyzed.

Manganese-based alloys with the composition MnFeZ (Z = Si, Al) have been extensively investigated in recent years due to their potential applications in spintronics. The MnFeSi alloy, prepared in the form of ingots, powders, or ribbons, exhibits either a cubic full-Heusler (2) structure, an inverse-Heusler (XA) structure, or a combination of both. In contrast, the MnFeAl alloy has so far been synthesized only in the form of ingots, featuring a primitive cubic (β-Mn type) structure.

2-arachnadoyl glycerol (2-AG) is one of the most common endocannabinoid molecules with anti-proliferative, cytotoxic, and pro-proliferative effects on different types of tumors. Typically, it induces cell death via cannabinoid receptor 1/2 (CB1/CB2)-linked ceramide production. In breast cancer, ceramide is counterbalanced by the sphingosine-1-phosphate, and thus the mechanisms of 2-AG influence on proliferation are poorly understood.
