This study focused on the application of mesoporous silica monoliths for the removal of organic pollutants. The physico-chemical textural and surface properties of the monoliths were investigated. The homogeneity of the textural properties along the entire length of the monoliths was assessed, as well as the reproducibility of the synthesis method. The adsorption properties of the monoliths for gaseous toluene, as a model of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), were evaluated and compared to those of a reference meso-structured silica powder (MCM-41) of commercial origin. Silica monoliths adsorbed comparable amounts of toluene with respect to MCM-41, with better performances at low pressure. Finally, considering their potential application in water phase, the adsorption properties of monoliths toward Rhodamine B, selected as a model molecule of water soluble pollutants, were studied together with their stability in water. After 24 h of contact, the silica monoliths were able to adsorb up to the 70% of 1.5 × 10−2 mM Rhodamine B in water solution.

L-α-(Dihexanoyl)cephalin has been synthesized by the phosphorylation of D-α,β-dihexanoylglycerol with phenylphosphoryl dichloride and pyridine, esterification of the reaction product, viz. dihexanoyl-L-α-glycerylphenylphosphoryl chloride, with N-carbobenzoxyethanolamine, and simultaneous removal of the protective groups of dihexanoyl-L-α-glycerylphenylphosphoryl-N-carbobenzoxyethanolamine by catalytic hydrogenolysis. The L-α-(dihexanoyl)cephalin is soluble in water.Infrared evidence supports the inner-salt structure of cephalins in chloroform solution.

The properties of metakaolin-based materials were investigated. The studied materials were prepared by mixing metakaolin and aluminum oxide in alkaline solution. The obtained samples were cast into plastic molds and then left at 27°C for 24 h. The properties of the materials were investigated using XRD, FTIR, and SEM. The obtained results suggested that reaction of the mixed materials occurred. The adsorption properties of the materials, including removal efficiency, distribution coefficient, and uptake capacity were determined. The obtained results revealed that the studied materials exhibited high adsorption capacity, which is good for the adsorbent applications.

An aloe vera mucilage (AVM) derived highly tolerant and stretchable fish-scale-mimicked coating is introduced by the strategic use of Michael addition reaction. The naturally derived and nature-inspired coating is capable of sustaining various challenging exposures—without compromising the embedded underwater superoleophobicity.

Short DNA represents an important class of biomacromolecules that are widely applied in gene therapy, editing, and modulation. However, the development of simple and reliable methods for their intracellular delivery remains a challenge. Herein, we describe that seven water-soluble, homogeneous supramolecular organic frameworks (SOFs) with a well-defined pore size and high stability in water that can accomplish in situ inclusion of single-stranded (ss) and double-stranded (ds) DNA (21, 23, and 58 nt) and effective intracellular delivery (including two noncancerous and six cancerous cell lines). Fluorescence quenching experiments for single and double end-labeled ss- and ds-DNA support that the DNA sequences can be completely enveloped by the SOFs. Confocal laser scanning microscopy and flow cytometry reveal that five of the SOFs exhibit excellent delivery efficiencies that, in most of the studied cases, outperform the commercial standard Lipo2000, even at low SOF–nucleic acid ratios. In addition to high delivery efficiencies, the water-soluble, self-assembled SOF carriers have a variety of advantages, including convenient preparation, high stability, and in situ DNA inclusion, which are all critical for practical applications in nucleic acid delivery.

The aim of research: comparative study of adsorption capacity and selectivity of enterosorbents of different generations. Material and methods. The subject of the study is enterosorbents widely applied in clinical practice. They belong to different generations and exhibit different adsorption capacities and different doses of daily application. Results. It was found out that enterosorbents differed from one another and the latest generation had more perfect and diverse adsorption properties. The experimental data confirmed that enterosorbents of the fourth generation, in particular white carbon, whose main component is silicon dioxide exhibited a highly developed active surface and high adsorption capacity relative to highly toxic heavy metals, while its ability to bind and remove useful components (biometals and vitamin C) in organism was negligibly low. Conclusions. The enterosorbent of the fourth generation «White coal» possess high adsorption capacity toward heavy metals and simultaneously are characterized by negligibly low capacity to bind and remove bioactive compounds such as biometals and vitamin C.
