Iron and magnesium are being considered as promising candidates for biodegradable materials in medical applications, both materials having their specific advantages and challenges. A hybrid of metallic iron and magnesium in a layered composite is studied in the present work, to combine the merits of both metals. A single-step dip-coating method was employed to prepare the layered composite material. Morphology, composition, crystal structure and corrosion behavior of the Mg/Fe sheet were assessed by SEM, EDX, XRD, and electrochemical measurements. The Mg/Fe layered composite sheet is composed of the magnesium substrate, a 1–2 µm metallic iron coating, and a pompon-like Mg(OH)2/MgO top layer. Long-term open-circuit potential measurements revealed that the Mg/Fe sheet samples exhibit a “self-healing” effect in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium.

In order to improve the adsorption efficiency of biochar in water treatment, biochar–graphene (BG) composites were prepared by the one-step dip coating method and applied to remove phthalates from water. Firstly, the materials and equipment needed for the experiment are introduced. The steps of preparing graphene oxide (GO) by the improved Hummers method and BG composites by one-step dip coating are discussed. Then, the morphology characterization, adsorption performance measurement, and isothermal model of BG composites are introduced. Finally, the structure characterization, adsorption kinetics, and adsorption isotherms of BG composites are analyzed. The results show that the properties of biochar could be changed by one-step dip coating, and the biochar could form composites with graphene. Compared with biochar, biochar–graphene composites have greater surface area and porosity. When the pyrolysis temperature was 600 °C, the specific surface area of biochar was 8.4 m2g−1, and the specific surface area of the biochar–graphene composite was 221.3 m2g−1. When the temperature was 300 °C, the specific surface area of biochar was 11.01 m2g−1, and the specific surface area of biochar–graphene composite was 251.82 m2g−1. The formation of graphene on the surface of biochar can increase the stability of the composite and acts as a very high potential active site. The porous structure and surface properties of biochar–graphene composites regulate the adsorption rate of pollutant molecules, thereby improving the adsorption performance. When the adsorption equilibrium was reached, the adsorption effect of phthalate esters on the biochar/graphene composite at the pyrolysis temperature of 600 °C was the best, and the adsorption capacity of Dimethyl phthalate (DMP)was 35.2 mg/g, that of Diethyl phthalate (DEP) was 26.4 mg/g, and that of Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) was 25.1 mg/g. The adsorption effect of DMP was the best. The results of the isotherm study indicate that the adsorption of phthalates by BG composites has great potential, which provides a good theoretical basis for the application of BG composites in environmental protection in China.

ABSTRACTMacroporous silicate thick films were prepared by a sol-gel dip-coating method accompanied by the phase separation using methyl-trimethoxysilane (MTMS), nitric acid and dimethylformamide (DMF) as starting components. The morphology of the film varied to a large extent depending on the time elapsed after the hydrolysis until the dipping of the coating solution. On a glass substrate, the films prepared by early dipping had inhomogeneous submicrometer-sized pores on the surface of the film. At increased reaction times, relatively narrow sized isolated macropores were observed and their size gradually decreased with the increase of reaction time. On a polyester substrate, in contrast, micrometer-sized isolated spherical gel domains were homogeneously deposited by earlier dippings. With an increase of reaction time, the volume fraction of the gel phase increased, then the morphology of the coating transformed into co-continuous gel domains and macropores, and finally inverted into the continuous gel domains with isolated macropores. The overall morphological variation with the reaction time was explained in terms of the phase separation and the structure freezing by the forced gelation, both of which were induced by the evaporation of methanol during the dipping operation.

Steady-state fluorescence (SSF) technique in conjunction with UV-visible (UVV) technique and atomic force microscope (AFM) was used for studying film formation from TiO2covered nanosized polystyrene (PS) latex particles (320 nm). The effects of film thickness and TiO2content on the film formation and structure properties of PS/TiO2composites were studied. For this purpose, two different sets of PS films with thicknesses of 5 and 20 μm were prepared from pyrene-(P-) labeled PS particles and covered with various layers of TiO2using dip-coating method. These films were then annealed at elevated temperatures above glass transition temperature () of PS in the range of 100–280°C. Fluorescence emission intensity, from P and transmitted light intensity, were measured after each annealing step to monitor the stages of film formation. The results showed that film formation from PS latexes occurs on the top surface of PS/TiO2composites and thus developed independent of TiO2content for both film sets. But the surface morphology of the films was found to vary with both TiO2content and film thickness. After removal of PS, thin films provide a quite ordered porous structure while thick films showed nonporous structure.
