The hydride gas of phosphine (PH3) is commonly used for semiconductor and optoelectronic industries. The local scrubbers must immediately abate it because of its high toxicity. In this study, copper (Cu) loaded on the sol-gel-derived gamma-alumina (Al2O3) adsorbents are prepared and tested to investigate the possibility of PH3 removal and sorbent regeneration. Test results showed that during the breakthrough time of over 99% PH3 removal efficiency, the maximum adsorption capacity of Cu loaded on the sol-gel-derived gamma-Al2O3 adsorbent is 18 mg-PH3/g-adsorbent. This is much higher than that of Cu loaded on the commercial gamma-Al2O3 adsorbent--8.6 mg-PH3/g-adsorbent. The high specific surface area, narrow pore size distribution, and well dispersion of Cu loaded on the sol-gel-derived gamma-Al2O3 could be the reasons for its high PH3 adsorption capacity. The regeneration test shows that Cu loaded on the sol-gel-derived gamma-Al2O3 adsorbent can be regenerated after a simple air purging procedure. The cumulative adsorption capacity for five regeneration cycles is 65 mg-PH3/g-adsorbent, which is approximately double that of the Cu/zeolite adsorbent demonstrated in the literature.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers created injectable pastes using bioactive compounds and natural polymers for non-invasive bone surgeries, specifically using quercetin-loaded bioactive glass along with sodium alginate and hyaluronic acid.
- The study confirmed that these pastes could release quercetin in a sustained manner over 200 hours, with optimal release modeled by the Weibull equation.
- Testing on human-derived stem cells showed that the pastes enhanced alkaline phosphatase activity and the expression of bone-related proteins, indicating the potential of this combination to promote bone formation (osteogenesis) and warrant further in vivo studies.

The clinical management of wounds is known to be a significant challenge: not only does the dressing need to ensure and provide the appropriate barrier and healing characteristics, but consideration of patient compliance concerning comfort, functionality, and practicality also needs to be included. The poly(3-hydroxybutyrate--4-hydroxubutyrate) (P(3HB--4HB)) copolymer, isolated from USM1020 ( USM1020), was produced in the presence of excess carbon sources (1,4-butanediol and 1,6-hexanediol) using either a shake flask cultivation process or a bioreactor fermentation system. P(3HB--4HB) is widely known to be biodegradable and highly biocompatible and contains a tuneable 4HB monomer molar fraction, which is known to affect the final physicochemical properties of the intracellular copolymer.

Guided bone regeneration (GBR) is an effective strategy to promote periodontal tissue repair. The current study aimed to develop an injectable gel for GBR, composed of photo-cross-linkable hyaluronic acid and mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles (MBGNs) loaded with antibacterial minocycline hydrochloride (MNCl). Hyaluronic acid modified with methacrylic anhydride (MHA) that could be cross-linked under UV irradiation was first synthesized.

Uniformly distributed silica/epoxy nanocomposites (2 and 6 wt.% silica content) were obtained through a "solvent-free one-pot" process. The inorganic phases were obtained through "in situ" sol-gel chemistry from two precursors, tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and (3-aminopropyl)-triethoxysilane (APTES).
