Zero-Waste Recycling of Fiber/Epoxy from Scrap Wind Turbine Blades for Effective Resource Utilization. Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14245408.

Abstract
The number of scrap wind turbines is expanding globally as the wind power industry develops rapidly. Zero-waste recycling of scrap wind turbine blades (WTB) is the key for wind power firms to achieve green and sustainable development on the premise of satisfying environmental protection criteria. In this work, the pyrolysis of fiber/epoxy composites obtained from scrap WTB in oxidizing inert atmospheres was investigated. Various characterization methods were employed to characterize the microstructure and chemical characteristics of the heat-treated fiber/epoxy and to reveal the pyrolysis mechanism. In addition, the heat-treated fibers/epoxy were used as reinforcing agents to investigate their impact on the elastic deformation of butadiene styrene rubber-based flexible composites, and the reinforcing mechanism was revealed. The results revealed that the constituents of fiber/epoxy composites were mostly fiberglass (SiO2, CaCO3) and cured epoxy resin, with covalent bonding being the interaction between the fiberglass and epoxy resin. The total weight of the epoxy resin in the fiber/epoxy composites was 22%, and the 11% weight loss was achieved at around 350 °C, regardless of the presence of oxygen; however, the features of heat-treated fibers/epoxy were associated with the pyrolysis atmosphere at a higher temperature. The pyrolysis products in inert atmospheres, with water contact angles of 58.8°, can considerably improve the tensile properties of flexible composites at the elastic stage. Furthermore, the flexible composite granules were prepared to plug large channels in sand-filled pipes, and the plugging rate had the potential to reach 81.1% with an injection volume of 5.0 PV. The plugging performance was essentially unaffected by water salinity, owing to the high stability of flexible composite granules in mineralized water. The findings of this study present a realistic route to the industrial application of fiber/epoxy, as well as a novel approach for encouraging the efficient use of scrap wind turbines on a large scale.

Abstract
Developing and preparing novel protein-imprinted nanomaterials with high recognition ability remains challenging because it is difficult to controllably and orderly design and arrange functional groups on the imprinted polymer layers of protein-imprinted nanomaterials to improve their protein identification. Herein, we present a new technology using rationally designed polythiolactone-decorated magnetic nanospheres as the precursor of multifunctionalized imprinted materials. Moreover, the strategy of ring-opening the polythiolactione layers using primary amines with terminal alcohols, acids and pyrrolidines introduces abundant recognition sites, which enhance the recognition for template proteins through multiple hydrogen-bonding and hydrophobic interactions. Thiols generated in situ by the ring-opening reaction provide sufficient crosslinking sites proximate to each recognition site for the formation of imprinting cavities, endowing the imprinted nanospheres with promising regulation capabilities. Based on the rational design, the imprinted nanospheres can be prepared conveniently and present tunable rebinding capacity and specificity for bovine serum albumin (BSA). The maximum saturated rebinding capacity of imprinted materials for BSA is up to 285 ± 15 mg g-1 and the highest imprinting factor reaches 5.79. The simple and versatile strategy demonstrated in this study shows promise for the design of other protein-imprinted materials with high recognition ability.

The selective recognition mechanism of a novel highly hydrophobic ion-imprinted polymer towards Cd(ii) and its application in edible vegetable oil. RSC Adv 2021; 11:34487-34497.

Abstract
Edible vegetable oils are easily contaminated by heavy metals, resulting in the oxidative degradation of oils and various health effects on humans. Therefore, it is very important to develop a rapid and efficient method to extract trace heavy metals from vegetable oils. In this work, a highly hydrophobic ion-imprinted polymer (IIP) was synthesized on a novel raspberry (RS)-like particle surface. The synthesized IIP@RS was characterized and used in solid-phase extraction (SPE) for the selective and fast adsorption of Cd(ii) from vegetable oils. The results showed that IIP was successfully coated onto RS particles with a high specific surface area (458.7 m2 g−1) and uniform porous structure. The contact angle (θ) value (141.8°) of IIP@RS was close to the critical value of super-hydrophobic materials, which is beneficial to their adsorption in hydrophobic vegetable oils. The IIP@RS also exhibited excellent adsorption ability and selectivity to Cd(ii) with a maximum adsorption capacity of 36.62 mg g−1, imprinting factor of 4.31 and equilibrium adsorption rate of 30 min. According to isothermal titration calorimetry results, the recognition behavior of IIP@RS for Cd(ii) was mainly contributed by Cd(ii)-induced cavities during gel formation and coordination between Cd(ii) and –SH groups in imprinted cavities. Furthermore, the adsorption process driven by entropy and enthalpy was spontaneous at all temperatures. In real vegetable oil samples, IIP@RS-SPE adsorbed approximately 96.5–115.8% of Cd(ii) with a detection limit of 0.62 μg L−1. Therefore, IIP@RS has wide application prospects in enriching and detecting Cd(ii) from vegetable oil. Edible vegetable oils are easily contaminated by heavy metals, resulting in the oxidative degradation of oils and various health effects on humans.![]()

Abstract
The surface functionality of biomaterial plays a primary role in determining its application in biorecognition and drug delivery. In our work, three types of synthetic tailoring polymer nanospheres with hierarchical architecture were constructed to obtain functional polymer layer with disparate chemical motifs for protein adsorption via surface imprinting and grafting copolymerization. In this polymerization system, the structure stability of template protein bovine serum albumin (BSA) is well maintained within a certain range, which facilitated the accurate imprinting and precise identification. A comprehensive protocol for screening different functional layer is proposed through comparing the adsorption behavior, selectivity, identification and responsiveness to medium pH of three functional layers. Our study demonstrates that surface functionality greatly influences the adsorption capacity and selectivity of adsorption material. The functional layer with ionic liquid structure that could only provide multiple non-covalent binding sites is beneficial to the proteins aggregation and extraction, while the anti-nonspecific binding functional layer of biomaterial with zwitterionic structure for specific protein capture is promising to serve as a preferable antigen-antibody communication network, which shows great potential for protein recognition and separation. In summary, our proposed strategy provides a systematic selection criterion of biomaterials for effective application in biosensors.

Abstract
The Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB), a unique structure in the central nervous system (CNS), protects the brain from bloodborne pathogens by its excellent barrier properties. Nevertheless, this barrier limits therapeutic efficacy and becomes one of the biggest challenges in new drug development for neurodegenerative disease and brain cancer. Recent breakthroughs in nanotechnology have resulted in various nanoparticles (NPs) as drug carriers to cross the BBB by different methods. This review presents the current understanding of advanced NP-mediated non-invasive drug delivery for the treatment of neurological disorders. Herein, the complex compositions and special characteristics of BBB are elucidated exhaustively. Moreover, versatile drug nanocarriers with their recent applications and their pathways on different drug delivery strategies to overcome the formidable BBB obstacle are briefly discussed. In terms of significance, this paper provides a general understanding of how various properties of nanoparticles aid in drug delivery through BBB and usher the development of novel nanotechnology-based nanomaterials for cerebral disease therapies.

Abstract
As promising alternatives to natural receptors, artificial molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) have received great attention in biotechnology. Nevertheless, some bottlenecks limit their further development, including low adsorption capacity, poor recognition efficiency, slow response, and insipid aqueous compatibility. Ionic liquids (ILs) show the features of tailored structures and properties, high conductivity, good solubility, and excellent stability. Because of these advantages, they have found intensive use in MIPs by remedying the latter's shortcomings. In this review, we summarize the integration of ILs and MIPs for biorecognition and biosensing. The versatile roles of ILs in improving the performance of MIPs are firstly summarized, including serving as solvents, porogens, functional monomers, organic surface modifiers, dummy templates, and cross-linkers. Then, specific applications of IL-based MIPs in peptide recognition, protein sensing, and food safety analysis are discussed. Finally, future trends and challenges for the design and development of IL-based MIPs and their applications in the biorecognition and biosensing are proposed.

Abstract
Emulsions stabilized by particles (i.e., Pickering emulsions) are complementary to those stabilized by small molecules or polymers and most commonly consist of oil droplets dispersed in a continuous water phase, with particles assembled at the fluid-fluid interface. New particle surfactants and different fluid-fluid interfaces are critical for developing next-generation systems for a number of advanced applications. Herein we report the preparation of IL-containing emulsions stabilized by graphene oxide (GO)-based nanoparticles using the IL [Bmim][PF6]: GO nanosheets stabilize IL-in-water emulsions, and alkylated GO nanosheets (C18-GO) stabilize IL-in-oil emulsions. The impact of particle concentration, fluid-fluid ratio, and addition of acid or base on emulsion formation and stability is studied, with distinct effects for the water and oil systems observed. We then illustrate the broad applicability of GO-based particle surfactants by preparing emulsions with different ILs and preparing inverted emulsions (water-in-IL and oil-in-IL emulsions). The latter systems were accessed by tuning the polarity of GO nanosheets by functionalization with a perfluorinated alkyl chain such that they were dispersible in IL. This work provides insight into the preparation of different IL-containing emulsions and lays a foundation for the architecture of dissimilar materials into composite systems.
