Jute as a fiber has many applications. It is also used in polymers as reinforcement due to its good tensile properties. However, when it is used in polymer matrices, there is a lack of adhesion between the polymer and jute fiber. Surface treatment of fiber using chemicals has been found to improve the properties. However, the use of chemicals causes environmental pollution, when these chemicals are discharged into the environment. In this paper, an attempt has been made to study the effect of the biological route to surface treat the jute fiber. The effect of surface treatment on the morphology of jute was examined. A comparative study was on the crystalline, thermal, and tensile fracture morphology of the composites to understand the effect of the incorporation of untreated and treated jute fibers in polypropylene (PP).

Interfacial solar vapor generation (ISVG) technology has been considered a promising and sustainable strategy for seawater desalination and wastewater treatment. However, its practical application is greatly limited due to severe salt accumulation and poor long-term evaporation stability. Herein, an all-cellulose-based wicking fabric (CB@CA/CF) is fabricated via a breath figure template (BFT) method for high-performance and stable desalination.

Extracellular proteins are supposed to play crucial roles in the formation and structure of biofilms and aggregates. However, often little is known about these proteins, in particular for microbial communities. Here, we use two advanced metaproteomic approaches to study the extracellular proteome in a granular Candidatus Accumulibacter enrichment as a proxy for microbial communities that form solid microbial granules, such as those used in biological wastewater treatment.

Introduction: Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) frequently invades the jaw, and surgical treatment often leads to bone defects requiring reconstruction with titanium plates. To enhance the anti-tumor and bone regeneration properties of titanium, a selenium-modified hydroxyapatite coating was developed on titanium surfaces.
Methods: Selenium-modified hydroxyapatite coatings was fabricated using micro-arc oxidation (MAO).

Purpose: Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) are delivered by transducer arrays applied to scalp or body surface for treatment of multiple malignancies. Dermatologic complications are thought to be related to hydrogel situated between the electrodes and scalp or skin to facilitate electric field penetration. High intensity of TTFields on these surfaces may also be a contributing factor.
