The aim of the study was to develop an efficient sorbent for the separation of dopamine. 4-(2-Aminoethyl)aniline was chosen as a pseudo-template to produce the imprinted polymers from seven different functional monomers in the presence of ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as a cross-linker. The binding capacity showed that the highest binding specificity towards dopamine was achieved when methacrylic acid was used as the monomer in methanol solution to form a polymer matrix. The imprinting factor value was equal to 22.96. Other biogenic amines were bound much more weakly. A simple theoretical model was used to give an insight into the imprinting process and the selectivity of polymer matrix. Two artificial urine samples were used as the complex matrices to show the usefulness of the new sorbent for bioanalysis.

In complex networks and fluids such as the extracellular matrix, the mechanical properties are substantially affected by the movement of polymers both part of and entrapped in the network. As many cells are sensitive to the mechanical remodeling of their surroundings, it is important to appreciate how entrapped polymers may inhibit or facilitate remodeling in the network. Here, we explore a molecular-level understanding of network remodeling in a complex hydrogel environment through successive compressive loading and the role that noninteracting polymers may play in a dynamic network.

This work explores the enhancement of EMI shielding efficiency of polyurethane (PU) foam by loading multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNTs)-decorated hollow glass microspheres (HGMs). MWCNT was coated onto the HGM surface by a simple solution casting technique. The coated HGM particles were loaded in PU foams, resulting in an even dispersion of MWCNT in the foam struts, thereby forming an interconnected conductive network in the polymer matrix.

Polymers have been ruling the packaging industry for decades due to their versatility, easy manufacturability, and low cost. The overuse of non-biodegradable plastics in food packaging has become a serious environmental concern. Multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) reinforced nanocomposites have exceptional electrical, thermal, and mechanical properties.

This paper explores the electrical conductivity interphase of Ag/Epoxy composite using modified McLachlan theory and 3D finite element composite model through experimental verification. The model characteristic presents conductivity as a dynamic function influenced by particle content, particle electrical properties, electrical properties transition, and an exponent. This model was meticulously crafted, considering the intricate interplay between the polymer matrix and silver particles, the tunnelling distance between adjacent silver particles, and the interphase regions around particles.
