In such macromolecular systems, the extraction chemistry is a critical factor as it governs the molecular functionality, polarity balance, and subsequent compatibility with polymer matrices. This study demonstrates a solvent-controlled Soxhlet extraction strategy using mixed hexane–ethanol systems (4:6, 6:4, and 7:3 ratios) to tailor the chemical characteristics of <i>Ziziphus mauritiana</i> essential oils for materials-oriented applications. A hexane–ethanol ratio of 6:4 produced a markedly enhanced oil yield of 39.8%, attributed to optimized solvent–matrix interactions enabling the simultaneous recovery of nonpolar lipid components and polar oxygenated compounds. FT-IR analysis revealed a balanced distribution of functional groups, indicating strong potential for intermolecular interactions relevant to polymer compatibility and dispersion stability. Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC‑MS) analysis identified the presence of major plant-derived constituents such as phytol, squalene, fatty acid ethyl esters, and minor oxygenated terpenoids. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and optical microscopy provided mechanistic insights into mass transport, revealing solvent-dependent disruption of the plant matrix that facilitates the release of active species. The optimized bio-additive exhibited superior antibacterial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, alongside concentration-dependent antifungal performance. These findings highlight the role of solvent engineering as a robust materials design strategy for tailoring bio-derived additives, supporting their integration into sustainable and high-performance antimicrobial polymer systems.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":684,"journal":{"name":"Korean Journal of Chemical Engineering","volume":"43 10","pages":"2721 - 2733"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2026-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148695155","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work, a statistically equivalent three-dimensional microstructure of LiCoO₂ cathodes was reconstructed using a stochastic method, and a random-walk simulation was employed to evaluate the effective diffusivity and tortuosity. The influences of porosity, CBD content, AM particle size, and particle size distribution were systematically investigated. The results show that increasing porosity from 0.20 to 0.60 significantly enhances ion transport, with the effective diffusivity increasing from 0.109 to 0.465 and tortuosity decreasing from 2.148 to 1.278. In contrast, higher CBD content compresses pore channels and increases transport resistance. Enlarging AM particle size improves pore connectivity, leading to increased diffusivity and reduced tortuosity. Moreover, a broader particle size distribution further enlarges characteristic pore size and slightly enhances ion transport.

We introduce an enzyme-linked electrochemical sensor for the detection of the chemical marker of abrin poisoning, known as N-methyl-L-tryptophan (MT) or more commonly referred to as L-abrine. Indium tin oxide (ITO) was employed as the electrode substrate for immobilization of the enzyme methyl tryptophan oxidase (MTOX), which is selective for the MT substrate.

Each of the electrode modification steps were verified by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy. The approximate amount of MTOX immobilized on a 1 cm² ITO substrate was determined by cyclic voltammetry in a phosphate buffered saline solution at neutral conditions, revealing 3.3 ± 0.46 µC which is equivalent to 11.4 pmole of MTOX.
