We report the fundamental chromatographic retention properties of spongy monolith that was previously reported as a novel separation medium for the effective pretreatment of environmental pollutants. According to the detailed examination on liquid chromatographic evaluations using hydrophobic, hydrophilic, and polyaromatic compounds as solutes, the spongy monolith consisted of poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate) and having macroporous co-continuous structures showed the selective retention ability for polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), especially coplanar compounds, whereas lower selectivity was observed for typical hydrophobic and hydrophilic compounds compared with the commonly used C18 medium. Moreover, we demonstrate the effective preconcentration of benzo[a]pyrene using a spongy monolith as a pretreatment column of an online column switching HPLC system.

Background: Choosing implant crown materials for restoration remains challenging in clinical practice. This study assesses the impact of all-ceramic restoration instead of porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) restoration on the stress distribution within implant components and the surrounding bone.

Methods: Four 3D models of a mandibular second premolar were meticulously prepared.

Rapid and Highly Efficient Purification of Extracellular Vesicles Enabled by a TiO Hybridized Spongy-like Polymer.

We developed a novel purification medium of extracellular vesicles (EVs) by constructing a spongy-like monolithic polymer kneaded with TiO microparticles (TiO-hybridized spongy monolith, TiO-SPM). TiO-SPM was applied in a solid-phase extraction format and enabled simple, rapid, and highly efficient purification of EVs. This is due to the high permeability caused by the continuous large flow-through pores of the monolithic skeleton (median pore size; 5.

Hierarchical Porous Magnetite Structures: From Nanoparticle Assembly to Monolithic Aerogels.

The development of universal methods to synthesize materials with different structures is always in the researchers' focus. Despite the fact that various structures based on magnetite have already been obtained, synthetic approaches that allow to synthesize materials with a wide range of texture and functional properties are still very poorly presented. In this work, we demonstrate that a stable magnetite hydrosol can be easily converted into monolithic structures of xero-, cryo- and aerogel by careful varying concentrations and drying conditions.
