This paper describes the synthesis and use of multifunctional methacrylic monomers, which contain basic (amine) functional groups, including an example in which an acid-labile -butylcarbamate-protected glycine is used to form a novel methacrylic monomer. The "protected" amino acid-derived functional monomer (BOC-Gly-MA) is copolymerized with an epoxide functional methacrylic monomer (GMA), to deliver novel multifunctional polymers, which are processed into powder coatings and used to study filiform corrosion at the surface of an aluminum substrate. The BOC-Gly-MA-containing copolymers were shown to improve a coating's anticorrosion performance, presenting the lowest average filiform corrosion (FFC) track length, total FFC number, and total corroded surface area (CSA) of the coatings investigated. Further to this, a mode of action for the role of BOC-Gly functional polymers in corrosion protection is proposed, supported by both solution and polymer-aluminum interface studies, delivering new insights into the mode of action of pH-responsive polymer coatings.

This paper explores the use of large core declad optical fibers coated with molecularly imprinted polymers for chlorpyrifos detection, a key marker of organophosphate pesticides. The performance of sensor is evaluated using artificial neural networks and principal component analysis. By varying the declad length, the performance of molecularly imprinted polymer-coated fibers is compared to uncoated fibers, and both are used to identify commercial and pure samples of chlorpyrifos pesticides.

Functional fibrous membranes with high mechanical properties are intensively developed for different application fields. In this study, to enhance moisture and air permeability without compromising mechanical strength, a facile float-surface modification strategy is employed to fabricate Janus fibrous membranes with distinct hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity using the high-density polyethylene (HDPE) fibrous membranes. By coating one side of the HDPE fibrous membranes with polydopamine (PDA) and a superhydrophilic polyelectrolyte, the obtained Janus HDPE fibrous membranes demonstrate an excellent water transmission rate (577.

This study evaluated the influence of six resin composite coating agents on color stability and surface roughness after toothbrushing abrasion. Discs (Ø6 mm x 2 mm) of nanofilled resin composite (Filtek Z350XT) were prepared for application of coating agents (n=10): control (absence), two surface sealants (PermaSeal and BisCover LV), two adhesive systems (Scotchbond Multi-Purpose Adhesive/3M Oral Care and Single Bond Universal), and two modeling liquids (Modeling Resin and Composite Wetting Resin). CIELab*, WID, and color change (ΔEab, ΔE00, and ΔWID) were analyzed at baseline, after finishing and polishing, after application of coating agents, after coffee staining (simulating 30 days and one year of staining), and after toothbrushing abrasion.

MSN particles, neither uncoated nor coated with calcium alginate, induced spontaneous platelet aggregation when added to platelet-rich plasma, but significantly enhanced ADP-induced platelet aggregation. Subcutaneous administration of uncoated and calcium alginate-coated MSN resulted in increased maximum size and rate of platelet aggregate formation 1 day post-injection.
