Due to the excellent mechanical, thermal and electrical properties, graphene/polymer composite is expected to have a variety of applications in analytical chemistry. In this study, a new poly(ethylene glycol dimethacrylate)/graphene composite was prepared by in situ polymerization. The new composite was used for the first time as the extraction coating of stir rod sorptive extraction for the preconcentration of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from water samples. Because of the high specific surface area and π-π electrostatic stacking properties of graphene, the graphene-polymer composite showed higher extraction efficiencies towards most target PAHs from water samples than the neat polymer. Under the optimal conditions, a method for the determination of PAHs in water samples was proposed based on the combination of stir rod sorptive extraction (SRSE) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The limit of detection (LODs) of the developed method for 16 PAHs ranged from 0.005 to 0.429 ng mL-1, depending on the compound. Good reproducibility of method was obtained as intra- and inter-day precisions, the relative standard deviations (RSDs) were less than 12.5% and 12.6%, respectively.

Article Synopsis
- Sample preparation is still a major challenge in analytical processes, despite improvements in instruments, with solid-phase extraction becoming favored over traditional methods due to its simplicity and reduced solvent needs.
- Various microextraction techniques, particularly in-tube solid-phase microextraction (IT-SPME), have been developed for more efficient sample handling and automation, offering a "green extraction technique" option that minimizes solvent use.
- Innovative materials like molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are enhancing extraction efficiency; MIPs are custom-designed adsorbents that are created through a specific fabrication process to recognize and selectively bind target molecules.
Objective: To develop a method which is used for rapid determination of 16 kinds of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs) and 16 kinds of phthalates(PAEs) in tap water by stirring rod adsorption extraction(SBSE) combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(GC-MS).
Methods: The twister mixing rod coated with polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS) and ethylene glycol-polydimethylsiloxane(EG-silicone) was used to enrich analyte from 50 mL tap water. The twister mixing rod coated with EG-silicone was directly placed into the sample bottle containing 50 mL of tap water, while fixing the PDMS stir bar on the inner wall of the sample bottle and immersing it in the liquid.

The current work investigates the possibility of fabricating additive manufacturing products in solid-state form, from AA2011-T6 of 40 mm diameter rods as a feedstock, using an additive friction stir deposition (A-FSD) technique. The use of large diameter feedstocks, especially high-strength aluminum alloys (2XXX series), is a challenge, as it necessitates high power and the critical selection of the optimal A-FSD parameters, such as feed rate and spindle rotation speed. The study included applying a wide range of spindle rotation speeds, ranging from 400 to 1200 rpm, at three levels of feeding rates of 1, 3, and 5 mm/min.

Orbital friction stir welding (FSW) has been applied to clad pipes, which is certainly of interest to the oil and gas industry. In this context, an FSW system capable of performing sound joints in one pass with full tool penetration was developed. Orbital FSW was executed in 6 mm thick API X65 PSL2 steel clad pipes with 3 mm thick Inconel 625 using a polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (pcBN) tool.
