Herein, novel polymer composite is fabricated by hybridizing poly (acrylic acid-co-methyl methacrylate) filaments with carboxymethyl cellulose, which efficiently reorients and strictly ties the fibrous chains to form polymeric units of plate-like morphology. This innovative hybrid polymer composite is analyzed using XRD, FT-IR, swelling and contact angle studies, DLS, AFM, and SEM. Removal efficiency of such polymer composite is scrutinized in colored wastewater treatment. Langmuir and pseudo-first-order kinetic models best describe safranine dye removal from wastewater, adopting exothermic adsorption progression with elevated capacity (~ 59.47 mg/g) and accelerated rate (~ 1.06 h). Such polymer composite exhibits persistent removal efficiency of ~ 90% within 10 min for five consecutive cycles. Hybrid polymer composite is good candidate platform for hosting Ag particles to heighten their antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, far exceeding 75% reduction. Future studies on applicability of oxygen-rich polymer composites in wastewater treatment and disinfection are optimistic and extremely competent.

Monoliths are versatile materials with diverse applications, and their performance can be enhanced through modifications, including the use of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Modified monoliths improve separation and analytical processes in various fields, with different modification methods offering distinct benefits and challenges. Directly adding MOF crystals to the polymerization mixture is straightforward and time effective, but it often results in poor dispersion and compositional heterogeneity, which compromises consistency and reproducibility, particularly in bioanalytical applications.

Photocatalytic hydrogen production through water splitting represents a promising strategy to store solar energy as chemical energy. Current photocatalysts primarily focus on traditional semiconductor materials, such as metal oxides, sulfides, nitrides, g-CN, etc. However, these materials often suffer from large bandgap and fast charge recombination, which limit sunlight utilization and result in unsatisfactory photon conversion efficiency.

In this work, a promising material of polyaniline (PANI) and two-dimensional molybdenum diselenides consisting of a PANI@2D-MoSe binary composite was prepared by an electrochemical polymerization ethod. The as-prepared PANI@2D-MoSe, the polymer covered in the sheet-like structure of 2D-MoSe surface morphologies, was observed through FE-SEM and HR-TEM studies. The SAED pattern of PANI@2D-MoSe was observed to be in an octahedral phase.

In recent years, halide perovskite materials have been extensively studied by researchers due to their excellent optoelectronic characteristics. Unlike traditional semiconductors, halide perovskites possess unique ionic crystal structures, which makes it easier to perform facile composition engineering to tailor their physical and chemical properties. Ion exchange is a popular post-treatment strategy to achieve composition engineering in perovskites, and various ion exchange processes have been used to modify the structural and functional features of prefabricated perovskites to meet the requirements of desired applications.

The integration of two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials into polymer-based packaging presents a promising avenue for sustainable, high-performance materials. This perspective explores the roles of colloidal interactions in the assembly of 2D materials into thin films for packaging applications. We begin by analyzing the types of colloidal forces present in 2D nanomaterials and their impact on dispersion and stability.
