Abstract Patients with respiratory infections (e.g. COVID-19, antimicrobial resistant bacteria) discharge pathogens to the environment, exposing healthcare workers and inpatients deleterious complications. This study tested performance of SPEAR-P1 (synchronized personal exhaled air removal system-prototype 1), which actively detects expiration removes using an open, non-sealing lightweight facemask connected a deep vacuum generating unit.

Abstract In this paper, a high‐performance composite nanofiber membrane with excellent air filtration and dye degradation properties was prepared by incorporating MIL‐53(Fe) nanoparticles into the electrospinning solution. The results showed that efficiency for PM2.5 of PP/PVDF‐HFP/MIL‐53(Fe) reached up to 99.3% addition 2 wt% MIL‐53(Fe). Moreover, exhibited steady across different parameters, including velocity, concentration, extended testing time. Furthermore, incorporation significantly enhanced removal toward Rh B, resulting in remarkable 91% rate. polymer/MOF membranes simple cheap technology have wide range practical applications field environmental protection. Highlights PPM via method. were introduced membrane. PM2.5. good performance RhB

Abstract In this study, we investigated the iodination process for preparation of water‐soluble polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)‐based carbon nanofibers (CNFs) and their electrochemical properties. Iodinated were carbonized at different temperatures (600°C, 800°C) under an argon (Ar) atmosphere. Morphology physical properties fiber mats characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), while electrical conductivity measurements done using four probes. As a freestanding anode in half‐cell lithium batteries, CNFs prepared electrospinning PVA PVA–CNT blend, which was exposed to iodine vapor various (60, 80, 100°C). Iodine treatment 80°C subsequent carbonization 800°C provided 29% yield. The resulting CNT‐containing optimized exhibited superior flexibility, (2.16 S/cm), handleability, making them promising, binder‐free environmentally friendly source lithium‐ion batteries with high capacity (672 mAh/g 50 mA/g). study clearly showed that might be alternative precursor production micro‐ nanofibers.

Abstract Scutellaria baicalensis extract (SBE), as a natural phenolic antioxidant, was added to poly(butylene adipate‐co‐terephthalate) (PBAT) matrix. With the addition of SBE, both short‐term and long‐term antioxidant activity PBAT samples noticeably improved. The results showed that oxidation onset temperature (OOT) value modified sample (PBAT‐SBE 2.5 sample) is increased by 62°C versus neat PBAT. Compared with decreased OOT after 240 days storage, values no significant change storage. excellent attributed high total content in which provides free radical scavenging efficiency. Additionally, introduction SBE could effectively enhance processing performance matrix, melt flow rate PBAT‐SBE ca. 42.6%. PBAT, has obvious effect on mechanical properties tensile strength remains unchanged elongation at break retains 74%.
