Red blood cells the most abundant cellular component in whole blood are an important health indicator and the morphology and behavior of RBCs on porous paper substrates plays a key role in the interpretation of the diagnostic results of paper based blood analysis . The wetting of paper by a blood sample containing dispersed RBCs drives the allocation of RBCs through the fibre network .

Decabromodiphenyl ether is a major brominated flame retardant released from plastics in thermal processing of e waste and there is a significant need for developing effective technologies for its destruction . This study reports a novel treatment for complete debromination and destruction of BDE 209 by adsorbing it onto porous minerals followed by microwave irradiation . Being highly hydrophobic BDE 209 could be sorbed efficiently by porous mineral sorbents with the density and type of surface cations of the sorbents apparently playing little role . Microwave irradiation caused rapid degradation of the BDE 209 sorbed on the porous minerals and the fastest degradation occurred on the microporous minerals with the density and type of surface cations present in the mineral micropores had significant impact on the degradation rate . Evolution of the degradation intermediates during the course of microwave irradiation indicates that the sorbed BDE 209 underwent pyrolytic decomposition involving a series of reactions including cleavage of the ether bond debromination hydroxylation ring cleavage and oxidation . Microwave induced degradation could cause full mineralization of the sorbed BDE 209 without producing lower brominated congeners which is supported by the results of density functional theory calculations and infrared spectra . Together these findings demonstrate that microporous mineral sorption coupled with microwave irradiation could be a rapid and efficient technology for destruction of BDE 209 and other polybrominated diphenyl ethers .

Disc donut strippers are widely equipped in fluid catalytic cracking units of petroleum refineries . In this study circumferential gas solids flow heterogeneity in a disc donut catalyst stripper was investigated using both experimental and CFD simulation approaches . A four channel fiber optical densitometry was used to measure the radial gas solids profiles synchronously from four different circumferential angles . Computational particle fluid dynamics model was used to simulate the experimental stripper section . It was found in experiment that the circumferential gas solids distribution is highly heterogeneous throughout the disc donut stripper . Local gas bypassing existed under all the experimental conditions . The CPFD model successfully predicted gas bypassing and circumferential flow heterogeneity in the disc donut stripper .

Black phosphorus is a new two dimensional material with attractive nanoscale chemical and physical properties . Herein black phosphorus dotted with silver nanoparticles was synthesized via a facile and in suit chemical reduction approach without reductant . The tribological properties of as prepared Ag BP nanocomposite as lubricant additive in poly alpha olefin based oil were investigated by a ball on disc tribometer .

The friction coefficient and wear rate of the oil dispersed with 0.075wt Ag BP nanoadditives are reduced by 73.4 and 92.0 respectively as compared to the based PAO6 oil . The possible friction reducing and anti wear mechanisms of Ag BP nanoadditives in oil are illustrated by analyzing the wear scar surfaces . During scratching the Ag BP nanomaterials serves not only as a friction reducing and anti wear additive but also as a catalyst to decompose the based PAO oil for forming a carbon based tribofilm under ambient condition that further reduces the friction and wear . The findings here provide a novel insight into the design of lubricant additive incorporated in base oil and suggests a new potential application of black phosphorus in lubrication and tribology .

Humic acid can affect the adsorption modes of CLDHs and change the form of pollutants making it a key factor when considering CLDHs for practical applications . However the complicated and uncertain structures of HA make it difficult to explore how they will influence the mechanism so using simple compounds to simulate the role of different reactive groups in HA necessary to understand how they will interact with the application of CLDHs . It was found that both CLDHs strongly adsorb phthalic acid and catechol . All hydroxyl and carboxyl compounds had a similar promoting effect on the adsorption rate and regeneration rate of Mg CLDH which were not affected by the number of functional groups the length of the aliphatic chain or the number of the aromatic ring . However their effects were more significant than that of the HA . While they could make the structure of Mg LDH stacked and incomplete just like the HA they did not damage the crystallinity . In particular catechol inhibited the regeneration of Mg CLDH to a certain degree . Since the regeneration process was different from Mg CLDH different types of hydroxyl or carboxyl compounds degraded the removal of borate by Ca CLDH but promoted the formation of ettringite to some extent especially benzoic acid and 4 phenylbutyric acid . However catechol severely inhibited the structural transformation of Ca CLDH into ettringite . Due to the strong interaction of the HA with the surface of Ca LDH the formation of ettringite was hindered which deteriorated the removal of borate . HA did change the adsorption rate and the regeneration process of CLDHs via different reactive groups and their effects on various CLDHs were different .
Seven compounds were selected to simulate the effect of HA on CLDHs adsorption. Models promote the adsorption and regeneration of Mg CLDH but destroy the morphology. Models inhibit the sorption of Ca CLDH but no inhibition of structural transformation. The effect of model is different from HA the inhibition of HA is stronger.

Improving the conductivity stability of flexible conductors has a positive impact on the working performance and service life of portable electronic devices . However designing a conductor material with both conductivity stable and flexible performance is still not an easy task because of the conductive network damage under large deformation or high humidity conditions . Here we surmount this challenge by developing an interfacial assembly encapsulation integration strategy for the construction of flexible transparent and conductivity stable film . Under the synergistic effect of coordination complexation and hydrogen bonding silver nanowires are sandwiched encapsulated by regenerated cellulose film and poly poly nanosheets . The resulting hybrid film has a robust interfacial structure and prominently stable properties . Even when subjected to harsh condition such as a high moisture environment of 90 relative humidity and 65C temperature for up to 60days repeated bending for 500 times peeling over 400 times or soaking in water for 30days the film still exhibits a high and stable conductivity better than most previously reported values for AgNWs based films . With this strategy as base we demonstrate a flexible transparent and biocompatible strain to electricity sensor with high working stability and performance .
Flexible and transparent conductor film was assembled via an integration strategy. The CRC film exhibited super stable conductivity even in harsh environments. The CRC film based strain sensor was demonstrated.

In the framework of thermochemical energy storage in concentrating solar power plants the calcium looping process carried out in fluidized bed reactors is receiving increasing research interest due to the high energy density and the extremely low price nontoxicity and wide availability of natural CaO precursors . One of the main open challenges in CaL is represented by finding solutions to the progressive decline in the CaO carbonation conversion with the number of cycles which is due to the sorbent deactivation caused by sintering and pore plugging . In this framework the reduction of the CaO particles size has been reported to improve the carbonation conversion and therefore the achievable energy density by maximizing the availability of the sorbent surface exposed to the gaseous phase and hindering the natural loss of CaO mutlicyclic activity . However the use of fine particles in fluidized bed reactors is challenging due to agglomeration channeling and plugging phenomena .
