ABSTRACT Biodegradable polymeric membranes can reduce the environmental impact of polymer waste from discarded used in water treatment and desalination. Poly(ε‐caprolactone) (PCL), a promising biodegradable material, faces limitations due to its hydrophobicity, affecting salt contaminant adsorption. To overcome this, PCL was blended with oligomeric PCL‐diol (PCL‐D) ratios 90:10, 80:20, 70:30. Additionally, 12 wt% laponite (Lap), an anionic synthetic clay, incorporated enhance mechanical strength functionality. The addition PCL‐D improved porosity, hydrophilicity, antifouling properties, while Lap enhanced performance. pure flux (PWF) increased ~188 Lm −2 h −1 for neat 1124 70:30 blend (P7D3‐L12), contact angle (WCA) decreased ~96° ~49°. P7D3‐L12 membrane exhibited excellent adsorption heavy metals (Pb 2+ ~84.9 Cd ~90.6 mg/g) dyes (MB ~45 NR ~57 mg/g). It also showed ~36%–40% retention after multiple cycles fouling recovery rate (FRR) ~82% five cycles. demonstrated 78% weight loss compost over 54 days, indicating biodegradability. These modified offer solution sustainable treatment.

Oxidative stress induced by reactive oxygen species (ROS) can adversely affect tissue repair, whereas endowing biomaterials with antioxidant activity improve the in vivo microenvironment, thereby promoting angiogenesis and osteogenesis. Accordingly, this study utilized epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), a material known for its reducing properties, oxidative self-polymerization capability, strong binding characteristics, to modify bioactive core–shell fibrous membrane (10RP-PG). Compared 10RP-PG membrane, EGCG-modified (E/10RP-PG) exhibited superior hydrophilicity, excellent cell adhesion, compatibility. Moreover, effectively scavenge free radicals, ameliorate local foster (enhancing expression of angiogenic genes human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) 1.58 times vascular generation area upon subcutaneous implantation 4.47 times). The enhancement E/10RP-PG further promoted cartilage degeneration absorption, as well new bone formation, thus facilitating repair defects. This provides strategy defect through surface modification an agent, fabricated membranes show promise guiding vascularized regeneration.

The effect of polyphosphate (polyP) adsorption on the colloidal properties disc-shaped laponite (LRD) particles was examined in aqueous dispersions with a focus elucidating interparticle forces that govern stability systems. charge and aggregation rate data bare LRD exhibited an ionic strength-dependent trend, confirming presence double-layer repulsion van der Waals attraction as major surface interactions. significantly increased magnitude at elevated polyP concentrations result subsequent overcharging positively charged sites edges discs. A transition from stable to unstable colloids observed increasing doses indicating formation aggregates latter systems due depletion and/or bridging interactions induced by dissolved or adsorbed polyP, respectively. degree phosphate polymerization influenced neither nor mechanism. findings clearly confirm driving phenomenon induce particle contrast other clay types, where derivatives act dispersion stabilizing agents. This study provides valuable insights into early stages involving polyPs, which have crucial role predicting further material are important designing LRD-polyP composites for applications such potential sources chemical fertilizers.
