These materials were characterized using XRD, FESEM, EDS, FTIR and N 2 adsorption‐desorption techniques. The experimental results revealed that increasing the Cu 2+ concentration in the synthesis solution significantly enhanced the Cu 2 O content on the perlite surface, as well as the roughness and specific surface area of the catalysts. These improvements in structure and surface properties led to a marked increase in catalytic activity, enabling the complete conversion of 4‐nitroaniline to p ‐phenylenediamine within just 2 min.

A thorough exploration of the mechanisms underlying compounds with potential antidiabetic properties serves as an essential prerequisite for subsequent research endeavors. However, the mechanism of action regarding them has not been fully verified, and the present study identified one of the antidiabetic mechanisms of action of bile acid analogs at the protein and molecular levels. The results suggested that structural differences due to differences in the position of the hydroxyl substituent alter the antidiabetic capacity. The application of machine learning methods for pharmacokinetic prediction contributes to a better understanding of the nature and in vivo behavior of bile acid analogs.

This study addresses this limitation by introducing an innovative modification through the integration of epoxy‐oligoester (EOS), derived as a byproduct of unsaturated polyester resin synthesis. EOS, with an epoxy group content of 7.5% and an acid value of 0.25 mg KOH/g, functions as an effective internal toughening agent for epoxy resin. At 15 wt%, EOS significantly augments impact strength (67.7%) and fracture toughness (92.1%), achieved by reducing network density from 0.792 × 10 −3 to 0.678 × 10 −3 mol cm −3 , resulting in lower storage modulus ( E ′) and glass transition temperature. Additionally, the addition of 15 wt% EOS retards delamination and amplifies delamination energy. Mode I critical strain energy release rate (GIC) increases by 51.2%, from 608.1 to 911.5 J/m 2 , and Mode II critical strain energy release rate (GIP) rises by 51.7%, from 664.0 to 1007.6 J/m 2 .

Second, cross‐linking polymer network of chitosan‐glutaraldehyde (CGA) was formed by reaction of CTS with glutaraldehyde (GA). The obtained IPN hydrogel (CAB/CGA) was characterized by Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and its swelling degree and PZC value were also measured. These results demonstrate that copolymerized graft reaction was occurred between CTS, AA and bentonite forming CAB, and CGA presented as a cross‐linker in CAB/CGA polymer network. CAB/CGA has a moderate swelling degree of 7.8. CAB/CGA exhibits high adsorption capacity and fast adsorption rate for ammonium. Adsorption process reaches equilibrium in 30 min and fits well to Langmuir adsorption model with a fairly high maximum adsorption capacity of 41.06 mg g −1 . The material has a good regeneration ability. After five times of adsorption–desorption, there was almost no decrease in ammonium adsorption capacity.
