The natural high molecular polysaccharide Artemisia sphaerocephala Krasch gum (ASKG) was introduced into Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and Sodium alginate (SA), and the hydrogels with excellent absorbent properties were prepared by crosslinking method. The hydrogel form porous network structures through esterification of CA with PVA and ASKG, and chelation of Ca and SA. The water absorption, water retention, porosity and thermal stability of hydrogels are improved by ASKG. The higher the concentration and addition of cross-linking agent, the lower the water absorption rate of the hydrogels and the denser pore structure. When PVA is more than SA, the hydrogel has the best mechanical properties, and when SA is more than PVA, the hydrogel has porous network structure. The water absorption kinetics of the hydrogels conform Schott second-order kinetic model, indicating that the water absorption is a simple diffusion behavior. The 5P-5S-6 A-1C-0.025Cahydrogel pad effectively adsorb fish fillet exudates, maintain the cleanliness of the fish fillets, inhibit the growth of microorganisms and protein oxidation due to wonderful water absorption, so the shelf life of the fillets is extended from 6.8 days to 9.1 days. Therefore, this study can provide technical guidance and theoretical support for the development of fresh food packaging materials.

The efficient removal of CO from exhaust streams and even directly from air is necessary to forestall climate change, lending urgency to the search for new materials that can rapidly capture CO at high capacity. The recent discovery that diamine-appended metal-organic frameworks can exhibit cooperative CO uptake via the formation of ammonium carbamate chains begs the question of whether simple organic polyamine molecules could be designed to achieve a similar switch-like behavior with even higher separation capacities. Here, we present a solid molecular triamine, 1,3,5-tris(aminomethyl)benzene (TriH), that rapidly captures large quantities of CO upon exposure to humid air to form the porous, crystalline, ammonium carbamate network solid TriH(CO)·HO (TriHCO).

Developing high-performance photothermal materials and unraveling the underlying mechanism are essential for photothermal applications. Here, photothermal performance improved by strong interaction between plasmon and topological surface state (TSS) is demonstrated in BiSe/CuS nanowires. This hybrid, which CuS nanosheets were grown on BiSe nanowires, leverages the plasmon resonance and TSS-induced optical property, generating wide and efficient light absorption.

The adsorption technique has opened a new frontier in the field of purification through hemodialysis. This technique has proved to be effective in removing uremic toxins previously deemed inaccessible due to their size or charge, as well as to their molecular interactions with blood proteins. In this context, this review provides a detailed explanation of the role of Polyester-polymer alloy (PEPA®) membranes and hemodiafiltration with endogenous reinfusion.

While the prolonged consumption of sucrose-containing beverages is known to impact many organs, their specific effects on the small intestine remain elusive. This study aimed to evaluate how regular intake of sucrose, in amounts typically consumed, affects goblet cells, which play a critical role in regulating the mucosal barrier and innate immune defenses in the small intestine. Ten-week-old male ddY mice, a model of diet-induced obesity, were given a regular diet with either plain water or 7% sucrose water.
