Recent Paradigms in Nanomaterial‐Assisted Electrochemical (Bio) Sensing for Food Quality and Safety Analysis: A Critical Review

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rising global demand for safe and unadulterated foods has accelerated the need for rapid, low‐cost, and portable analytical technologies. Traditional laboratory methods, although accurate, are often labor‐intensive and unsuitable for decentralized, real‐time monitoring. In response, nanomaterial‐assisted electrochemical sensors have emerged as

CO2‐Responsive Dual‐Charge‐Switchable Membranes for Protein Foulant Cleaning

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
CO2‐responsive poly(ether sulfone) ultrafiltration membranes with dual‐charge‐switchable surfaces are prepared by incorporating an amphoteric diblock copolymer additive using the nonsolvent‐induced phase separation method. Alternating CO2 and N2 bubbling changes the solution pH around the copolymer isoelectric point and hence reversibly switches the ...

RAFT Copolymerization of DMAEA and AETAC Toward Charge‐Shifting Copolymers With Tunable Heparin Complexation

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Copolymers based on charge‐shifting (DMAEA) and permanently charged (AETAC) cationic acrylates were copolymerized via the RAFT process to achieve polycations with well‐defined composition. Moderate content of AETAC did not affect hydrolysis rates but significantly enhanced heparin binding.
