Published: June 2017

Waste polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) could be easily decomposed by co-grinding with inorganic additive such as strontium oxide (SrO), strontium peroxide (SrO) and calcium oxide (CaO) by using a planetary ball mill, in which the fluorine was transformed into nontoxic inorganic fluoride salts such as strontium fluoride (SrF) or calcium fluoride (CaF). Depending on the kind of additive as well as the added molar ratio, however, the reaction mechanism of the decomposition was found to change, with different compositions of carbon compounds formed. CO gas, the mixture of strontium carbonate (SrCO) and carbon, only SrCO were obtained as reaction products respectively with equimolar SrO, excess SrO and excess SrO to the monomer unit CF of PTFE were used. Excess amount of CaO was needed to effectively decompose PTFE because of its lower reactivity compared with strontium oxide, but it promised practical applications due to its low cost.

Lanthanum strontium ferrite (LaSrAgFeO = 0; LSFO) and its silver-doped derivative (LaSrAgFeO = 0.05; LASFO) are synthesized using mild conditions by a sol-gel method. Both oxides present a perovskite-like structure with orthorhombic symmetry due to octahedral tilting; thus, the incorporation of silver in the A-site does not significantly modify the perovskite structure.

The Topological Hall effect (THE) is a fascinating physical phenomenon related to topological spin textures, serving as a powerful electrical probe for detecting and understanding these unconventional magnetic orders and skyrmions. Recently, the THE has been observed in strontium ruthenate (SrRuO, SRO) thin films and its heterostructures, which originates from the disruption of interfacial inversion symmetry and Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI). Here, we demonstrate a practically pure proton doping effect for controlling the DMI and THE in the SRO epitaxial films using the Pt electrode-assisted hydrogenation method.

The development of injectable, dual-component formulations based on natural-based polysaccharides is a promising strategy for the localized treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In the present study, biomimetic formulations consisting of aldehyde-functionalized hyaluronic acid (AHA) and O-carboxymethyl chitosan (OCC) were developed, presenting rapid in situ gelation rates and finely tunable physicochemical properties. These two properties allowed for the controlled delivery of anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and pro-regenerative agents (i.

Effluents of the dying and printing industries are a significant contributor to water pollution. Since synthetic dyes are primarily resistant to natural degradation, they remain in water bodies for an exceptionally long time if discharged untreated. Oxygen dark activation is a promising candidate for the degradation of azo dyes as it does not require the use of additional reagents or even the presence of light.
