We propose a surface modification of poorly dispersive polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) particles via bioinspired polydopamine–polyethyleneimine (PDA–PEI) which conferred PTFE particles a uniform dispersion in aqueous medium. With increasing dopamine concentration in the reaction solution, dispersity of PTFE particles improved and the surface charges of particles changed from negative to positive due to an increase of surface coverage of PDA–PEI layers. Simplicity of the method here outlines an attractive route for surface modification of inert surfaces useful for large-scale applications.

Surface modification of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) films was carried out via a novel photografting polymerization technique with acrylamide (AAm) as the monomer. The photografting polymerization can be achieved via one-step method and two-step method. The photografting polymerization reactivity of AAm was examined with benzophenone (BP) as the photoinitiator and low-density polyethylene (LDPE) film as the substrate with “sandwich” assembly. Moreover, the occurrence and evolution of grafting polymerization of AAm on the substrate was demonstrated XPS analysis and SEM pictures.

Fructan sucrase is a kind of biological enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of fructan, and fructan is a polysaccharide product with important industrial application value. In this study, the Fructan sucrase gene of Bacillus subtilis was cloned to plasmid PET-28A-ACMA-Z, and three clones were obtained after the transformation of Escherichia coli BL21, namely BS-FF, BSO, and BS. The clones BS-FF and BSO secreted the recombinant enzymes outside the cells, while the clone BS expressed them inside the cells. The induction experiment results showed that the optimum IPTG concentration in the medium was 0.5 mM and 1.0 mM for clones BS-FF and BSO, respectively, while the incubation conditions were at 28 °C for 8 h. The recombinant fructan sucrase was purified one step using a material called GEM particles. The results indicated that 95.25% of fructan sucrase expressed by the clone BS-FF could be secreted into the extracellular area, and even 98.78% by the clone BSO. With the above purification system, the receiving rate of the recombinant enzyme for clones BS-FF and BSO was 97.70% and 84.99%, respectively. As for the bioactivity of recombinant fructan sucrase, the optimum temperature and pH were 50 °C and 5.6, respectively. The Km and Vmax of it were 33.96 g/L and 0.63 g/(L·min), respectively. The engineered strains with the high extracellular secretion of fructan sucrase were constructed, and a one-step method for the purification of the recombinant enzyme was established. The results might provide a novel selection for the enzymatic production of fructan on a large scale.

Abstract Conductive elastomer materials based on carbon black (CB) filled bromo-isobutylene-isoprene rubber (BIIR)/polypropylene (PP) thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV) were prepared by two step method and one step method. The microstructure, mechanical properties, electrical resistivity, thermal stability, electromagnetic interference shielding performance, and fracture surface morphology of composite materials were studied. The result shows the serious aggregation of CB in one-step TPV, but the uniform dispersion of CB in two-step TPV. In addition, the two-step TPV shows a higher electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding performance and lower conductivity penetration threshold. The penetration threshold of the two-step TPV is 9.1%, and the maximum reflection loss of the two-step TPV16 is −29.5 dB. Therefore, this research offers an uncomplicated and scalable melt mixing approach method to manufacture conductive thermoplastic vulcanizates with excellent EMI shielding.

A novel one-step method to synthesize large-scale uniform dumbbell-shaped ZnO nanorods is presented here. The structural morphology was investigated by using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy analyses. The prepared dumbbells with diameter of 300 nm and length of 1.5 μm possess hexagonal structure with preferable [001] growth direction. The UV–vis absorption spectra show blueshift for smaller nanoparticles and redshift for bigger dumbbell-shaped ZnO nanorods.

AbstractLysate-based cell-free systems have become a major platform to study gene expression but batch-to-batch variation makes protein production difficult to predict. Here we describe an active learning approach to explore a combinatorial space of ~4,000,000 cell-free compositions, maximizing protein production and identifying critical parameters involved in cell-free productivity. We also provide a one-step-method to achieve high quality predictions for protein production using minimal experimental effort regardless of the lysate quality.
