Dietary Interventions May Mitigate Health Risks of Per‐ and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) Exposure Through Modulation of the Gut Microbiota: A Review

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 6, November 2026.
Dietary interventions, including probiotics, prebiotics, and synbiotics, may modulate gut microbiota to regulate PFAS accumulation and elimination. Specific microbial taxa facilitate PFAS removal through adsorption and bioaccumulation, potentially reducing internal PFAS burden and mitigating PFAS‐related health risks.

Phase-field modeling droplet dynamics with soluble surfactants [PDF]

, 2010
Using lattice Boltzmann approach, a phase-field model is proposed for simulating droplet motion with soluble surfactants. The model can recover the Langmuir and Frumkin adsorption isotherms in equilibrium.

Cononsolvency‐Assisted Fabrication of Hydrogels and Microgels With Tunable Porosity, Diffusivity and Stiffness

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, Volume 47, Issue 21, 6 November 2026.
The cononsolvency of poly(dimethyl acrylamide‐co‐hydroxyethyl acrylamide) copolymers in water‐acetonitrile mixtures enables the synthesis of hydrogels with finely tuned porosity. Optimized for droplet‐based microfluidics, this approach facilitates the fabrication of porous microgels with tunable mechanical and diffusion properties, offering precise ...

Balancing Hydrophobicity and Hydrophilicity: Dual Filler‐Engineered Proton Exchange Membranes for Durable, High‐Power Fuel Cells

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 83, 15 October 2026.
Polarity‐matched Zr–MOFs program Nafion's nanoscale morphology during solution casting. Hydrophilic UiO‐66 preserves hydrated pathways, while hydrophobic UiO‐67 increases the proton hopping sites by densifying ionic clusters. Combining both fillers yields a membrane that delivers 176 mS cm−1 conductivity, reaches 1.46 W cm−2 under 200 kPa, and triples ...

Hydrophilic Polymers Enable Gastrointestinal Transit Monitoring by Fluorine‐19 Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 37, 9 October 2026.
Hydrophilic fluorinated copolymers dissolve in chyme and give a strong, single 19F signal, unlike phase‐separating perfluorocarbons. Combined 1H‐19F MRI tracks their whole‐gut transit non‐invasively and without ionizing radiation. In rats, the tracers move through the gastrointestinal tract, resist resorption, and are well tolerated, a proof‐of‐concept

Electrochemical Detection of Perfluorooctanoic Acid by a Zn–Terpyridine and Nafion‐Modified Glassy Carbon Electrode

ChemPlusChem, Volume 91, Issue 10, October 2026.
PFOA can substitute acetate ligands in zinc terpyridine complexes to elicit spectroscopic changes. This phenomenon in solution is exploited for electrochemical sensing using discontinuous Nafion overlayer as a preconcentrating membrane to provide detection limits of 0.407 pM and a linear range of 0.5–10 pM.
