Response surface methodology (RSM) with central composite design (CCD) optimized the main constituent ratio (template, functional monomer, and crosslinker), yielding a synthesis ratio of 1:4:20 mmol and a highest binding capacity of 8.899 mg/g. The model’s robustness was supported by a high F-value (54.05) and low p-value (&lt; 0.001). At the same time, analysis of variance (ANOVA) indicated that the template and functional monomer significantly influenced binding capacity compared to the crosslinker. Characterization of DES-MIP included analyses of functional groups, molecular structure morphology, thermogravimetric properties and porosity analysis. Selectivity tests demonstrated a superior binding capacity (8.89 mg/g) and imprinting factor (3.85) for paracetamol relative to salicylic acid ( 4.42 mg/g, 3.05) and aspirin (4.08 mg/g, 3.85). The absorption kinetics and isotherm were best described by pseudo-second-order kinetics and the Langmuir model, respectively, at an optimum pH of 7 using 5 mg of DES-MIP as adsorbent. DES-MIP showed good stability, retaining 19.5% efficiency after 20 reusability cycles. Application to real samples of herbal drinks, medicine, and health Supplements achieved recoveries of 96.46%, 88.80%, and 86.20%, with relative standard deviations (RSD) of 1.25%, 2.42%, and 2.56%. These findings highlight DES-MIP as a promising alternative for paracetamol removal or extraction with high selectivity, good reusability, and reliable analytical performance.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":658,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Polymer Research","volume":"32 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10965-025-04547-1.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145028234","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For such applications, the most popular technique has been Brownian dynamics (BD), even though the formulation of the same may be complicated for flow in complex geometries, which is straightforward for DPD. This is partly due to the flexibility of BD simulations to mimic any dynamic regime for polymer solutions by independently tuning hydrodynamic interactions (HI) and excluded volume (EV). In this study with highly resolved polymer chains, we reveal that DPD also offers a similar flexibility and the regimes with respect to dominant EV and HI can be selected as conveniently as BD. This flexibility is achieved by tuning the repulsive interaction parameter of polymer beads and the spring length. Any rheological regime of certain level of EV and HI can be attained by appropriately tuning only these two parameters, providing a flexibility of similar levels as BD simulations. We further highlight the suitability of DPD by comparing predictions with equivalent models in BD, for highly resolved chains in flow fields. For this, we imposed startup uniaxial extensional flows and steady shear flows on the system. Our results indicate the consistency of DPD with BD simulations, which is known to agree well with experiments. Finally, we provide a simple analytical estimate of the level of HI in any DPD simulation, as a function of relevant DPD parameters.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":658,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Polymer Research","volume":"32 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145011519","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

LDPE-CS composites with varying CS contents (5–30%) were prepared via melt blending and compression molding. Mechanical testing demonstrated that the addition of 15% CS enhanced the tensile strength by approximately 5.1% compared to neat LDPE, attributed to the uniform dispersion of CS fibers and the formation of an effective reinforcing network. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that CS incorporation disrupted the crystallinity of LDPE, with the most stable crystalline structure observed at 15% CS content. Differential scanning calorimetry confirmed that moderate CS loading only slightly reduced the crystallinity, while thermogravimetric analysis showed that excessive CS addition lowered thermal stability, with 15% CS exhibiting better stability than 5% CS Due to improved dispersion. Contact angle measurements indicated that moderate CS addition could improve surface compactness, whereas excessive CS loading led to increased hydrophilicity and structural defects. Water absorption and moisture content tests showed that higher CS contents compromised the moisture resistance of the composites. Water vapor permeability and oxygen permeability tests demonstrated that a 10% CS loading yielded the best overall barrier performance, attributed to the tortuous diffusion path created by well-dispersed fibers, whereas higher CS contents reduced barrier efficiency. Vegetable preservation tests confirmed that LDPE-CS (15%) films exhibited superior preservation performance, achieving the lowest weight loss compared to neat LDPE and the control group after four days of storage.

The present study claims an innovative combination of vapor phase polymerization and electrochemical polymerization processes to grow micro-rods of polypyrrole onto the surface of a polyester fabric. The results of physicochemical parameters revealed that the vapor phase polymerization brought down the electrical resistance of the fabric from 200 × 10⁹ Ω to 220 Ω in just 3 min. Interestingly, the integration of electrochemical polymerization to the vapor phase polymerization helped in lowering the resistance of electro-conductive fabric along with the development of polypyrrole micro-rods simultaneously. FTIR and FE-SEM analyses confirmed the existence of active functional sites and the building up the micro-rods of 0.42 μm thickness onto the fabric surface. The V-I characteristics of the polypyrrole-coated electro-conductive fabric exhibited an almost linear increase in current while the resistance to rinsing showed high physical adherence of the polypyrrole coating to the fabric surface. Moreover, the interactive mechanism established the formation and the interaction of pyrrole’s hair-like micro-rods onto the polyester fabric surface. The as prepared electrochemical polymerized fabic was tested for the sensing of ammonia gas which showed significant sensing bahavior of ammonia at ppm level. Thus, the obtained significant surface resistance value (70 Ω) of pyrrole-polymerized polyester fabric makes it an outstanding candidate for sensing application on an industrial scale.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":658,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Polymer Research","volume":"32 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145011822","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Successful synthesis of the aerogels was confirmed by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Yielding relatively homogeneous honeycomb and porous surfaces, with 3.4326 m² g⁻¹ surface area and high thermal stability. The MB removal followed monolayer adsorption on the homogeneous surfaces of the GG-PVA, thus defined by the Langmuir Isotherm model, with a maximum adsorption capacity (q_max) of 121.95 mg g⁻¹. Maximum adsorption of the MB was favored by near neutral to alkaline conditions, reaching 88.4% efficiency and equilibrium reached in the first 30 min of the adsorption process. The kinetics of the MB removal followed the pseudo-second order model. Furthermore, thermodynamic studies revealed endothermic (ΔH^o = 80.598 kJ mol⁻¹) and spontaneous (ΔG^o = -8.219 kJ mol⁻¹) nature of the adsorption process. The overall adsorption process was principally influenced by the charge and size of the MB molecule, as well as the surface-active sites, porosity, and charge of aerogels among other factors.
