In this study, pigments extracted from grouper root were utilized for dyeing modified cotton fabrics, and various properties were investigated. First, the optimal parameters for extracting dyes from the grouper root using ultrasound were investigated. The extracted dyes were analyzed by UV/Vis, FTIR, and liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry. Subsequently, the extracts were applied to dye specially modified cotton fabrics, and potential mechanisms were proposed. The color fastness, UV resistance, antioxidant properties, and antibacterial efficacy were evaluated post-dyeing. The results indicated that the primary constituents of grouper pigments are anthocyanins. After modifying the cotton fabrics with 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride (CHPTAC) and chitosan, the dyeing performance of the fabrics with root extracts was significantly enhanced. Furthermore, the samples exhibited improved dyeing performance and functionality following the CHPTAC modification treatment. The dyed fabric achieved a K/S value of 9.1564, wash and rubbing fastness above 4.0, a ultraviolet protection factor of 204.17, over 80% antioxidant activity, and &gt;95% antimicrobial efficacy against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Excellent performance persisted after 20 washes, demonstrating the potential of natural dyes in developing durable, functional textiles.","PeriodicalId":11537,"journal":{"name":"Emerging Materials Research","volume":"1 1","pages":"1-15"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147898646","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigates eco-friendly alkali-activated materials using hemihydrate phosphogypsum and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS), combining basic properties and durability with microstructure. The basic properties were evaluated, including fluidity and consistency, mechanical strength under different cured times, and drying shrinkage. The durability included freeze-thaw cycles, sulfate corrosion, and chloride-ion permeation tests. Furthermore, the microstructure and mechanism of modified alkali-activated materials were analysed using X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy techniques. The results showed that the binary system created better properties including the enhanced mechanical strength, the compensatory fluidity and consistency, and the optimised durability. The incorporation of GGBFS led to a reduction in fluidity and consistency. Due to the suitable contents of GGBFS, the hydration products in the binary system were dominated by C-S-H, and gypsum, which influenced changes in the properties of the binary system. A 40% slag contents facilitated process of the hydration gels of the system. The use of those solid wastes, such as hemihydrate phosphogypsum and slag, provided a sustainable development for cementitious materials and environmental conservation.","PeriodicalId":11537,"journal":{"name":"Emerging Materials Research","volume":"14 3","pages":"292-303"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147382061","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Glass fiber filters, known for their resistance to chemical corrosion, radiation and thermal stability, were used as the base material for separation and enrichment. However, the number of active groups on the surface of the matrix material was limited, resulting in poor chemical grafting efficiency. To address this, a new method is proposed involving deposition and chemical grafting. A polydopamine coating was formed on the filter surface through the oxidation and self-polymerization reaction of dopamine. Subsequently, the coupling agent chloromethyltrimethoxysilane and the extraction agent trioctylamine were employed to quaternize the glass fiber filter, resulting in the synthesis of a novel pretreatment material. Various characterization techniques were employed to investigate the morphology and surface functional group structure. Finally, the material was applied in the adsorption of trace plutonium, and the adsorption performance and mechanism for plutonium (IV) (Pu 4+ ) were explored. The adsorption results indicated that when the nitrate acidity was 4 mol/l, the adsorption capacity of the material reached its maximum value. The adsorption capacity reached equilibrium within 360 s. The maximum adsorption capacity of GF-PD-CTS-TOA for plutonium (IV) was 20.35 mg/g (0.085 mmol/g). Complex anions Pu(NO 3 ) 6 2− and Pu(NO 3 ) 5 − were the main forms of plutonium (IV) adsorption. This is the first time that this method was used to modify glass fiber filters, and this study represents the first application of functionalized glass fiber filters in the analysis and separation of radioactive elements during reprocessing.","PeriodicalId":11537,"journal":{"name":"Emerging Materials Research","volume":"13 3","pages":"249-261"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147892550","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The impact of two individual ETLs – namely, indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) and n-type zinc oxide (n-ZnO) – was analyzed, and it was found out that n-ZnO was best for the ETL. The n-ZnO, antimony (III) selenide and Indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) layers in the newly proposed structure have respective thicknesses of 50, 300 and 20 nm. To achieve the optimum performance of this prototype, the acceptor concentration of copper (II) oxide is taken as 1018 cm−2 and the donor concentration of n-ZnO is taken as 1020 cm−2. The defect densities at antimony (III) selenide and antimony (III) selenide/n-ZnO are taken as 1013 and 1010 cm−2, respectively. They play a crucial part in device performance. With the optimized structure, a maximum power conversion efficiency of up to 31.72% (V OC = 1.148 V, J SC = 48.30 mA/cm2 and fill factor = 88.50%) is obtained with n-ZnO as the ETL. For effective results, the defect densities at both interfaces are taken as 109 cm−2, and maximum efficiency is achieved.

Loading porous materials onto phase-change materials is an effective approach to addressing this issue. In this study, porous expanded dickite as a carrier was utilized to load decanoic acid and create a composite phase-change material. The loading content of decanoic acid was varied to obtain different composite phase-change materials. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis confirmed the formation of hydrogen bonds between the expanded dickite carrier and decanoic acid. Scanning electron microscopy images and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy mapping results demonstrated that decanoic acid was evenly dispersed on the expanded dickite carrier without any agglomeration. The expanded dickite carrier effectively immobilized decanoic acid through hydrogen bonding, thereby preventing leakage, as long as the loading content of decanoic acid did not exceed 60%. The higher thermal conductivity of the expanded dickite carrier promoted the thermal conductivity of the expanded dickite/decanoic acid composite phase-change materials, enhancing the responsiveness of the composite phase-change materials to ambient temperature. The composite phase-change material containing 60 wt% decanoic acid exhibited excellent endothermic/exothermic cycle stability, and after six cycles, its latent heat remained stable.","PeriodicalId":11537,"journal":{"name":"Emerging Materials Research","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140838377","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is critical to study the effect of the microstructure, e.g., the shape and the size of AgNPs on their performance. Herein, AgNPs with varying shapes and sizes were synthesized by varying the manner of the reducing agent NaBH4 added (i.e., multi-step and one-step reduction methods), and then were studied for photocatalytic of dyes and electrocatalytic oxidation of glucose. The results showed that triangular, spherical, or the mixture of triangular/spherical shaped AgNPs were obtained from multi-step reduction method, whereas only spherical shaped AgNPs were yielded from the one-step reduction method. The sizes could be manipulated by changing the concentrations of the reagents or the reaction temperature. The triangular shaped and smaller-sized AgNPs were more effective for photocatalytic of dyes, and the degradation percent of methylene blue was enhanced to 95% for the Ag-TiO2 complex from 50% for pure TiO2. Moreover, the spherical shaped AgNPs with smaller size could effectively detect glucose at a very low concentration of 5 to 10 mM with an excellent glucose tolerance.","PeriodicalId":11537,"journal":{"name":"Emerging Materials Research","volume":"331 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138625674","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
