TL;DR: In this paper, a poly(butylene furandicarboxylate-co-glycolate) (PBFGA) copolymers were synthesized via melt polycondensation.
Abstract: In an environment of high salinity, low temperature, and the presence of a few bacteria in seawater, improving the non-enzymatic hydrolysis of polyesters is one of the effective methods for developing seawater degradable materials. In this research, poly(butylene furandicarboxylate-co-glycolate) (PBFGA) copolyesters were synthesized via melt polycondensation. The PBFGA copolymer possessed excellent mechanical properties and thermal stability. Its tensile strength was 15–50 MPa and the elongation at break was more than 120% from the tensile tests. GA units improved the flexibility of PBF segments, and the PBFGA copolymer exhibited an amorphous structure. The PBFGA copolymer possessed good hydrolysis properties and the weight loss of PBFGA50 was more than 30% after 84 days of degradation in deionized water. Lipase catalyzed, and the salt inhibited the hydrolysis of the ester bond. PBFGA exhibited a bulk degradation mechanism, and sponge pores were formed on the surface due to preferential degradation of the PGA component, which was conducive to the further degradation of the internal groups. Some butanediol and glycolic acid terminated oligomers were produced during the degradation process, and rearrangement crystallization occurred in the chain segment. Thus, PBFGA copolyesters have the potential to serve as promising seawater degradable materials with excellent tensile and non-enzymatic degradable properties.

TL;DR: Two-dimensional (2D) selenium was synthesized successfully in 2017 and its advanced properties, including size-dependent bandgap, excellent environmental robustness, strong photoluminescence effect, anisotropic thermal conductivity, and high photoconductivity, render it and Selenium-based composites a promising candidate for various device applications as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: Two-dimensional (2D) selenium was synthesized successfully in 2017. Its advanced properties, including size-dependent bandgap, excellent environmental robustness, strong photoluminescence effect, anisotropic thermal conductivity, and high photoconductivity, render it and selenium-based composites a promising candidate for various device applications. These include batteries, modulators, photodetectors, and photothermal effects in medical applications. However, compared to other commonly used 2D materials, such as graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides, and black phosphorus, 2D Se is much less known. Motivated by the need to overcome this lack of knowledge, this article focuses on recent progress and elucidates the crystal structure, synthesis methods, physical properties, applications, challenges, and prospects of 2D Se nanoflakes.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that TOP-2 might be useful for alleviating the alcohol-induced hepatotoxicity via its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potential.
Abstract: Ultrasonic-microwave assisted extraction (UMAE) of Trametes orientalis polysaccharides was optimized by response surface methodology. Hepatoprotective effects of a purified T. orientalis polysaccharide (TOP-2) were evaluated by alcohol-induced liver injury model mice. The optimal UMAE parameters were indicated as below: ratio of water to raw material 28 mL/g, microwave power 114 W, extraction time 11 min. The polysaccharides yield was 7.52 ± 0.12%, which was well consistent with the predicted value of 7.54%. Pre-treatment with TOP-2 effectively increased the liver index and spleen index in alcohol-treated mice. The elevated serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels of mice after alcohol exposure were inhibited by TOP-2 administration. The liver tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β) levels have decreased significantly as a result of alcohol exposure, while pre-treatment with TOP-2 could mitigate these consequences. Furthermore, pre-treatment with TOP-2 could efficiently boost the superoxidase dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activities, and observably constrain the malondialdehyde (MDA) level. The findings suggest that TOP-2 might be useful for alleviating the alcohol-induced hepatotoxicity via its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potential.

TL;DR: ECOSAR software was used to assess the ecotoxicity of intermediates toward fish, daphnia, and green algae, showing that this novel EF oxidation process showed good toxicity reduction performance and a prolonged EF retention time was proposed to be necessary to obtain clean and safe water, even if the targeted compound was removed at an earlier time.

TL;DR: Combined treatments with Si and SAR improved the rice growth compared with the single treatment with SAR, and application of Si could be a better strategy for maintaining the crop productivity in acid rain regions.
Abstract: Silicon (Si) has been a modulator in plants under abiotic stresses, such as acid rain. To understand how silicon made an effect on rice (Oryza sativa L.) exposed to simulated acid rain (SAR) stress, the growth, physiologic activity, and mineral nutrient content in leaves of rice were investigated. The results showed that combined treatments with Si (1.0, 2.0, or 4.0 mM) and SAR (pH 4.0, 3.0, or 2.0) obviously improved the rice growth compared with the single treatment with SAR. Incorporation of Si into SAR treatment decreased malondialdehyde (MDA) content; increased soluble protein and proline contents; promoted CAT, POD, SOD, and APX activity; and maintained the K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Zn, Cu content balance in leaves of rice seedlings under SAR stress. The moderate concentration of Si (2.0 mM) was better than the low and high concentration of Si (1.0 and 4.0 mM). Therefore, application of Si could be a better strategy for maintaining the crop productivity in acid rain regions.
