AI Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to create one-dimensional fibers made of PbI₂ and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) using an electrospinning process with N,N-dimethylformamide as the solvent.
- Dipping these fibers into a CH₃NH₃I solution resulted in a color change, indicating the successful formation of CH₃NH₃PbI₃, leading to the production of CH₃NH₃PbI₃/PVP composite fibers.
- The researchers analyzed the structure, shape, and composition of the fibers using X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy techniques.
Article Abstract
In our study, one-dimensional PbI₂/polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) composition fibers have been prepared by using PbI₂ and PVP as precursors dissolved in N,N-dimethylformamide via a electrospinning process. Dipping the fibers into CH₃NH₃I solution changed its color, indicating the formation of CH₃NH₃PbI₃, to obtain CH₃NH₃PbI₃/PVP composite fibers. The structure, morphology and composition of the all as-prepared fibers were characterized by using X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy.

This study focuses on the development of an efficient membrane-based clarification process to enhance the performance of subsequent ultrafiltration and produce high-quality sweet lime juice. A range of casting solutions were prepared using a blend of pore-forming polymers, including polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), and cellulose acetate (CA), dissolved in dimethylformamide (DMF) solvent through the phase inversion technique. To further enhance the membrane's performance, four biopolymers poly (lactic acid) (PLA), xanthan gum, chitosan, and gelatin were incorporated, with and without clay, to refine its structure, porosity, and surface properties.

This study explores the development of electrospun nanofibers incorporating bioactive compounds from (Ashwagandha) root extract, focusing on optimizing extraction conditions and nanofiber composition to maximize biological activity and application potential. Using the Design of Experiment (DoE) approach, optimal extraction parameters were identified as 80% methanol, 70 °C, and 60 min, yielding high levels of phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity. Methanol concentration emerged as the critical factor influencing phytochemical properties.

Congestive symptoms are the primary cause of hospitalizations in heart failure (HF), and diuretics remain the cornerstone of their management. However, clinical practice varies widely due to a lack of a reliable measure of congestion guiding diuretic use. Consequently, many HF patients are discharged prematurely without adequate decongestion, leading to increased readmissions and mortality.

Researchers have been investigating the physical and morphological properties of biodegradable polymer and copolymer films, blending them with other chemicals to solve challenges in medical, industrial, and eco-environmental fields. The present study introduces a novel, straightforward method for preparing biodegradable hydrogels based on polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) for medical applications. The resulting PVA/PVP-based hydrogel uniquely combines the water absorbency, biocompatibility, and biodegradability of the polymer composite.

Advancements in printing techniques are essential for fabricating next-generation displays. Lead halide perovskites demonstrate great potential as light emitters of solution-processed light-emitting diodes (LEDs). In particular, the perovskite/polymer composite emitters exhibit exceptional luminescent characteristics, mechanical flexibility, and environmental stability due to the improved film morphologies and defect passivation achieved through the introduction of polymer additives.
