Article Abstract
Crosslinked polymeric materials based on a quaternary trimethylammonium compound were developed and evaluated as potential antifouling coatings. For this purpose, two water-soluble random copolymers, poly(4-vinylbenzyltrimethylammonium chloride-co-acrylic acid) P(VBCTMAM-co-AAx) and poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide-co-glycidylmethacrylate) P(DMAm-co-GMAx), were synthesized via free radical polymerization. A water based approach for the synthesis of P(VBCTMAM-co-AAx) copolymer was used. Coatings of the complementary reactive copolymers in different compositions were obtained by curing at 120 °C for one day and were used to coat aquaculture nets. These nets were evaluated in respect to their release rate using Total Organic Carbon (TOC) and Total Nitrogen (TN) measurements. Finally, the antifouling efficacy of these newly-composed durable coatings was investigated for 14 days in accelerated conditions. The results showed that this novel polymeric material provides contact-killing antifouling activity for a short time period, whereas it functions efficiently in biofouling removal after high-pressure cleaning.

Room-temperature crystallization of a cobalt-aminoterephthalate framework (CoBDC-NH) directly on 3D-printed polylactic acid (PLA) yields a super-wetting membrane that reconciles permeability and selectivity in oil-water separation. The ambient-pressure route dispenses with conventional hydrothermal steps and preserves the PLA architecture. Molecular dynamics (MD) combined with density-functional (DFT) calculations reveal that NaOH activation exposes carboxylate sites, while trace polyvinylpyrrolidone amplifies van der Waals forces, uniformly dispersing Co nuclei and anchoring the metal-organic framework (MOF) layer.

Marine biofouling poses significant economic and environmental challenges, highlighting the need for effective antifouling coatings. We report amphiphilic poly(SBMA--EGDEA) copolymer coatings that resist both marine diatom adhesion and sediment adsorption. The coatings were synthesized via surface-initiated ATRP and RAFT polymerization using hydrophilic sulfobetaine methacrylate (SBMA) and hydrophobic ethylene glycol dicyclopentenyl ether acrylate (EGDEA).

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by persistent hyperglycemia with multiple clinical manifestations and complications, such as cardiovascular disease, kidney dysfunction, retinal impairment, and peripheral neuropathy. Continuous and minimally invasive glucose monitoring is essential for effective DM management. Microneedles (MNs)-based sensing platforms offer a promising solution; however, conventional polymeric MNs suffer from limited electrochemical sensitivity due to their insufficient electroactive surface area and inefficient loading of catalytic and enzymatic components.

ConspectusHydroaminoalkylation, the catalytic addition of amines to alkenes, has evolved as a powerful tool in modern synthetic chemistry, offering an atom-economic and green approach to the construction of C-C bonds. This reaction enables the direct amine functionalization of alkenes and alkynes without the need for protecting groups, directing groups, or prefunctionalization, thereby eliminating stoichiometric waste and minimizing synthetic steps. Over the past two decades, significant advances in catalyst development and mechanistic understanding have expanded the scope of hydroaminoalkylation, allowing for control over regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselectivity.
