The mutagenic potential of glycidol and 7 alkyl glycidyl ethers having straight alkyl chains of 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14 carbon atoms were examined in a battery of in vitro assays. The battery consisted of the Salmonella/mammalian microsome assay, the L5178Y mouse lymphoma assay, and unscheduled DNA synthesis using W138 cells. The mutagenic potential of the compounds ranged from strongly mutagenic to non-mutagenic; glycidol exhibited the greatest activity. All the ethers through C-4 showed a definite response whole the C-8 or higher ethers showed very weak or no responses. Dose-response curves were obtained by all 3 assays for those compounds that exhibited mutagenic activity. The sensitivity of each assay is discussed, as are the effects of the liver microsome systems used for metabolic activation.

Controllable macromolecular architecture formation via polysaccharide integrated ternary copolymerization was explored in the design of amino-functionalized n-alkyl methacrylate ester-based biohybrids. Ternary poly(dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate-co-glycidyl methacrylate-co-hydroxypropyl methacrylate)/sodium-alginate, PDGH/ALG, hybrids were designed using anionic polysaccharide through in-situ radical polymerization. An insight into the effect of ALG on physicochemical structure of ternary hybrids, particularly the interactions between polymeric chains, was created.

Studying the mechanisms and effects of rejuvenators on SBS-modified bitumen is crucial for repairing degraded SBS and recycling aged SBS-modified bitumen (ASMB), thereby contributing to the sustainable development of bitumen pavements. This research examines the roles of mono-epoxy Alkyl (C12-C14) glycidyl ether (AGE) and di-epoxy 1,6-Hexanediol diglycidyl ether (HDE) under the catalysis of N,N-dimethyl benzyl amine (BDMA) in repairing degraded SBS chains. Aromatic oil (ORSMB)-, AGE-aromatic oil (ARSMB)-, and HDE-aromatic oil (HRSMB)-rejuvenated bitumen are analyzed for their chemical structures, physical properties, and rheological properties.

Moisture exposure during polyester processing can lead to degradation, resulting in the formation of carboxyl and hydroxyl end-groups. To preserve mechanical properties, thorough drying and the use of chain extenders like epoxy acrylates and isocyanates during extrusion are crucial for maintaining or enhancing molecular weight through in-situ reactions. Our study introduced epoxidized cardanol oleate (ECD-OA), containing epoxy and long-chain alkyl groups, as a potential chain extender, and compared its effectiveness with commercially available epoxidized cardanol glycidyl ether (cardolite NC514).

Article Synopsis
- Scientists studied how to mix crude oil from the Jurassic formation in the Sichuan Basin to make it less thick.
- They created a special nano-emulsifier called GOPH using graphene oxide, which helped to mix oil and water better.
- By using GOPH, they found a way to make the oil much less thick (91.6% thinner) while keeping it stable when mixed with water.

Article Synopsis
- The article discusses a new method using a ruthenium catalyst for converting epoxides into branched alcohols while preserving the product's enantiomeric purity.
- The catalyst, a PNN-pincer-ruthenium complex, operates effectively at room temperature with various types of epoxides, including aryl and alkyl variants.
- Detailed studies explore the catalyst's behavior, reaction kinetics, and mechanisms, highlighting how it selectively cleaves the epoxide ring to yield the desired alcohols.
