A donor–acceptor–donor (D–A–D) type monomer (3,6-bis(2-(3,4-ethylenedioxy thiophene))pyridazine, EPE) with pyridazine as an intermediate unit (acceptor) and 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) as a sealing unit (donor) was prepared. The monomer was then polymerized by adjusting various ratios of FeCl3/monomer to prepare a donor–acceptor–donor (D–A–D) type conjugated polymer: poly(EPE). The result...

BACKGROUND Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω3 PUFAs) suppress inflammation through activation of free fatty acid receptor 4 (FFAR4), but this pathway has not been explored in the context of cardiovascular disease. We aimed to elucidate the involvement of FFAR4 activation by ω3 PUFAs in the process of vascular inflammation and neointimal hyperplasia in mice. METHODS AND RESULTS We used mi...

This study aims at evaluating the impacts of flocculant addition to a submerged membrane bioreactor (SMBR). Three types of common flocculants (FeCl3, PACl and chitosan) were tested based on the performance of organic and nutrients removal, respiration test and fouling control. The data showed that all of the flocculants not only could keep high removal efficiencies of DOC and COD (>90%) compare...

Precipitations of iron oxides from FeCl3 solutions in the presence of urotropin at 90 oC were monitored using the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Mössbauer spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. Urotropin was used as a generator of OH– ions. The precipitation processes depended on the concentrations of FeCl3 and urotropin and the time of aging. After 1 da...

Binding phosphate at participation of alginate/FeCl3 capsules was studied with laboratory experiments. The hydrogel microcapsules were obtained with the dropping-in method, by gelation of sodium alginate water solution by iron (III) chloride solution. Phosphate adsorption characteristics were studied in a static batch system with respect to changes in contact time, initial phosphates concentrat...

Sulphate removal from mine water is a problem because traditional chemical precipitation does not remove all sulphates. In addition, it creates lime sediment as a secondary waste. Therefore, an inexpensive and environmental-friendly sulphate removal method is needed in addition to precipitation. In this study, carbon residues from a wood gasification process were repurposed as precursors to a s...

Abstract Hemolytic disorders characterized by complement-mediated intravascular hemolysis, such as autoimmune hemolytic anemia and paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria, are often complicated life-threatening thromboembolic complications. Severe episodes result in the release of red blood cell (RBC)-derived proinflammatory oxidatively reactive mediators (e.g., extracellular hemoglobin, heme, iron...

Here, we report the fabrication of high-performance printable WSe2 transistors via doping p-type FeCl3 molecules (hole mobility: ∼1.5 cm2 V−1 s−1; on/off ratio: ∼106). A complementary inverter is demonstrated with p-WSe2 and n-MoS2 transistors, which highlights its potential for application in future two-dimensional material-based electronics.
