Microwave-assisted potassium permanganate modification (MPPM) was used for the flotation separation of polycarbonate (PC) from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) waste plastics. The separation process was optimized by investigating the potassium permanganate concentration, treatment time, flotation time and frother concentration. MPPM selectively reduced the flotation recovery of PC. The optimum conditions were determined to be: potassium permanganate concentration, 2 mM/L; treatment time, 1 min; frother concentration, 17.57 g/L; and flotation time, 1 min. PC was efficiently separated from PVC and PMMA under the optimum conditions. The purity of the separated PC was 97.71%. The purity and recovery of PVC and PMMA were both >95%. The modification mechanism was investigated using the water contact angles, Fourier transform infrared spectrometry and scanning electron microscopy. This work provides technical insights into the industrial recycling of waste plastics.

We consider hostile conflicts between two multi-agent swarms. First, we investigate the complex nature of a single pursuer attempting to intercept a single evader (1P-1E), and establish some rudimentary rules of engagement. The stability repercussions of these rules are investigated using a Lyapunov-based stability analysis. Second, we extend the modeling and stability analysis to interactions between multi-agent swarms of pursuers and evaders. The present document considers only swarms with equal membership strengths for simplicity. This effort is based on a set of suggested momenta deployed on individual agents. The control of group pursuit is divided into two phases: the approach phase during which the two swarms act like individuals in the 1P-1E interaction, and the assigned pursuit phase, where each pursuer follows an assigned evader. A simple, single-step dissipative control strategy, which results in undesirable control chatter, is considered first. A distributed control logic is then introduced, in order to ameliorate the chatter problems. In this new logic, the dissipative control action is spread out over a time window. A wide range of case studies is tested in order to quantify the parametric effects of the new strategy.

Expired medicines are a burden to the environment. In this paper, a novel method is suggested to reutilize expired medicines in order to assess the possibilities of synthesizing a variety of nanomaterials. To this end, expired flouroquinolone (norfloxacin) and tinidazole combinations were used to synthesize metal (Au), oxide (ZrO<sub>2</sub>) and chalcognide (CdS) nanoparticles using for the first time a green chemistry approach. Au, ZrO<sub>2</sub> and CdS nanoparticles are available in convenient sizes of 6 nm, 26 nm and 18 nm, respectively, and remain stable for at least six months. This novel procedure is possible thanks to their molecular organization and elements. The inclusion of a fluorine atom in a drug molecule may influence both the disposition of the drug and its interaction with its pharmacological target; for example, the effects of fluorine substitution on the inter- and intra-molecular forces that affect binding of ligands. The presence of sulfur in the tinidazole molecules may also have contributed towards synthesis through proton withdrawal. The nanomaterials synthesized in this way were characterized using X-ray diffraction analysis and transmission electron microscopy to identify the formation of the desired nanoparticles. This single-step green approach is very convenient, simple and can be extended to synthesize a variety of nanomaterials that might find new technological and pharmaceutical applications.

A green approach: in a single-step coating process a mesoporous silica shell was tailored onto palladium-nanocubes. Along with a PEG-matrix this core–shell-nanocatalyst could be recovered after C–C-coupling reactions and reused without any significant decrease in product yield.
