Bio‐inspired hierarchical bamboo‐based air filters for efficient removal of particulate matter and toxic gases Open
Air pollution is caused by the perilous accumulation of particulate matter (PM) and harmful gas molecules of different sizes. There is an urgent need to develop highly efficient air filtration systems capable of removing particles with a w…
Monitoring CaCO<sub>3</sub> Content in Recycled Polypropylene with Raman Spectrometry Open
As a commonly used filler, CaCO3 frequently finds its way into recycled polypropylene (rPP) as a contaminant during the mechanical recycling process. Given the substantial impact of CaCO3 on the properties of PP materials, close monitoring…

Material properties of spray‐dried cellulose nanocrystal reinforced homopolymer polypropylene composites Open
Spray‐dried cellulose nanocrystal (SDCNC) particles have attracted intense interest as reinforcements in polymer composites because of their unique physical and mechanical properties. This work aims to develop homopolymer polypropylene (HP…
Reactive Blending of Recycled Poly(ethylene terephthalate)/Recycled Polypropylene: Kinetics Modeling of Non-Isothermal Crystallization Open
Plastics were developed to change our world for the better. However, plastic pollution has become a serious global environmental crisis. Thermoplastic polyesters and polyolefins are among the most abundant plastic waste. This work presents…
Synthesis and Characterization of Quercetin–Iron Complex Nanoparticles for Overcoming Drug Resistance Open
Quercetin, one of the major natural flavonoids, has demonstrated great pharmacological potential as an antioxidant and in overcoming drug resistance. However, its low aqueous solubility and poor stability limit its potential applications. …

ARTP mutagenesis promotes selenium accumulation in Saccharomyces boulardii Open
Atmospheric and room temperature plasma (ARTP) is a rapid method for strain to obtain desirable mutants. In this study, Saccharomyces boulardii was used for mutagenesis through ARTP mutagenesis and the medium for cultivation was further op…
Formulating Polypropylene with Desired Mechanical Properties through Melt Compounding of Homopolymer and Impact Copolymer Open
Many grades of homopolymer polypropylene (HPP) and impact copolymer PP (ICPP) with a wide range of mechanical properties have been developed for a variety of applications in different industrial sectors. Management of this wide range of ma…
Archives of Civil Engineering Open
Under eccentric load, a single column pier bridge often overturns. In order to study the anti overturning performance of a single column pier bridge, taking the accident bridge in Wuxi as an example, a finite element model is established b…
RRNPP-type quorum-sensing systems regulate solvent formation, sporulation and cell motility in Clostridium saccharoperbutylacetonicum Open
Background Clostridium saccharoperbutylacetonicum N1-4 (HMT) is a strictly anaerobic, spore-forming Gram-positive bacterium capable of hyper-butanol production through the well-known acetone–butanol–ethanol fermentation process. Recently, …
Renewable Fatty Acid Ester Production in<i>Clostridium</i> Open
Production of renewable chemicals through biological routes is considered as an urgent solution for fossil energy crisis. However, endproduct toxicity inhibits microbial performance and is a key bottleneck for biochemical production. To ad…
Bacteria co-colonizing with Clostridioides difficile in two asymptomatic patients Open
Background Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is the leading cause of nosocomial diarrhea. Co-colonization of key bacterial taxa may prevent the transition from asymptomatic C. difficile colonization to CDI. However, little is known abo…
Thermostable manganese (II) dependent α-glycosidase from Pseudothermotoga thermarum Open
Alpha-glycosidase degrades polysaccharides and oligosaccharides and participates in the synthesis of oligosaccharides through a process called transglycosylation. In this study, an α-glycosidase gene pthgly from Pseudothermotoga thermarum …
Fusion Endoglucanase Cel12B from Thermotoga maritima with Cellulose Binding Domain Open
Four fusion enzymes were expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3), and their properties against sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC-Na) and microcrystalline cellulose were characterized. When endoglucanase cel12B genes fused with the cellu…
Genome Editing in Clostridium saccharoperbutylacetonicum N1-4 with the CRISPR-Cas9 System Open
Clostridium saccharoperbutylacetonicum N1-4 is well known as a hyper-butanol-producing strain. However, the lack of genetic engineering tools hinders further elucidation of its solvent production mechanism and development of more robust st…
