In the presented research, two trialkoxysilanes were used to investigate their reactivity with microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) applied as a model material. As a continuation of the previous study, the research aimed at evaluation of the durability and potential reversibility of the silane treatment. Two different solvents and a mixture thereof were used for cellulose modification. The influence of amino group/pH, an excess of silanes and re-soaking with water on binding with cellulose was examined. The results obtained confirm that both selected silanes can effectively modify MCC. However, the treatment with 3-(2-aminoethylamino)propyltrimethoxysilane occurred more effective than with Methyltrimethoxysilane due to the presence of amino groups. Among the three tested solvents, the most effective was pure water. In contrast, the use of ethanol and a mixture of ethanol and water gave significantly worse results. Summarising, the presented research clearly shows how important the type of the functional group in alkoxysilanes is for its chemical reactivity with natural polymers, which is crucial for their application in waterlogged wood conservation.

In the present study, we conducted a 10-week culture experiment to investigate the effects of taurine on the growth performance, antioxidant properties, and muscle quality of the common carp fed an oxidized lipid diet. There were five experimental groups with three replicates each. Based on the fresh fish oil group (FO), equal amounts of oxidized fish oil (with a thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances value of 49.

This study focuses on comparing the efficiency of commercially available TiO (P25) with synthesized TiO nanoparticles (TiONP) impregnated in nonmodified cellulose membranes, specifically targeting the degradation of Indigo Carmine (IC) dye. We developed a novel method to enhance the interaction between cellulose and TiO, thereby improving efficiency and reusability. This involves dissolving microcrystalline cellulose in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (BMImCl) and dispersing the TiO samples within this solution.

Article Synopsis
- The use of bio-based materials like polylactic acid (PLA) can help conserve fossil resources and cut carbon emissions, but PLA's limited toughness has hindered its industrial use.
- Researchers synthesized a hyperbranched polyester (MCC-EHBP) to enhance the compatibility and toughness of PLA when blended with bio-based polyamide 11 (PA11).
- The resulting PLA/PA11/MCC-EHBP blend significantly improved mechanical properties with tensile and impact strength increases of 36.9% and 241.7%, and also raised the decomposition temperature and activation energy of PLA, indicating better heat resistance.

Article Synopsis
- Blending poly(4-hydroxybutyrate) (P4HB) with polylactide (PLLA) helps to reduce the brittleness of PLLA, but their low compatibility requires the use of compatibilizers to enhance performance.
- Reactive compatibilizers like poly(methyl methacrylate-co-styrene-glycidyl methacrylate) (MSG) and non-reactive polyformaldehyde (POM) significantly improve the compatibility between the two polymers, achieving over 300% elongation at break at specific concentrations.
- Analysis techniques such as small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS) reveal that MSG and POM

Article Synopsis
- The main non-traumatic causes of acute single-joint pain include microcrystalline, degenerative, reactive, and septic arthritis, with septic arthritis needing quick exclusion through joint effusion puncture.
- If there’s no sepsis, surgical drainage should be done within 24 hours of admission.
- For conditions like gout and reactive arthritis, imaging and urate-lowering treatments are recommended, while osteoarthritis management emphasizes self-care strategies for pain relief.
