Article Abstract
A sulfonated polystyrene resin-supported tungsten oxide (SO-PSWO) was synthesized and evaluated for its efficiency in removing lead (Pb) from aqueous solutions. Morphology, phase purity, structural properties, thermal stability, and elemental composition of SO-PSWO, are evaluated using SEM, XRD, FTIR, TGA, and CHNS analyzers. The ICP-OES technique was utilized for quantitative measurements of the Pb ions. The influence of key parameters such as pH, adsorbent dose, contact time, metal ion concentration, temperature, and interference of competing ions on Pb removal is systematically investigated. Under optimum conditions (pH 3.5-5.5), SO-PSWO achieved a maximum Pb removal efficiency of 99.7% within one hour and demonstrated an exceptional adsorption capacity of 386 mg g, as described by the Langmuir isotherm model. Kinetic analysis revealed a pseudo-second-order mechanism, highlighting chemisorption as the predominant process. Thermodynamic studies indicated an exothermic and spontaneous adsorption behavior. With its easy synthesis, cost-effectiveness, rapid kinetics, high adsorption capacity, and superior efficiency, SO-PSWO emerges as a promising material for the remediation of Pb contamination in water treatment applications.

Hyperkalemia is a common and serious complication in dialysis patients, with increased incidence and severity over time. Newer potassium binders, patiromer and sodium zirconium cyclosilicate (SZC), offer improved tolerability compared to older agents. This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of these newer binders in dialysis patients.

This study investigates a multifunctional hydrogel system integrating carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) in a 3D-printed limonene (LIM) scaffold coated with poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS). The system allows to enhance wound healing, prevent infections, and monitor the healing progress. CMC is crosslinked with citric acid (CA) to form the hydrogel matrix (CMC-CA), while the 3D-printed limonene (LIM) scaffold is embedded within the hydrogel to provide mechanical support.

Polymers with multifunctional capabilities are increasingly important for emerging technologies, particularly in applications requiring electro-responsive behavior. Polyelectrolytes, which are charged polymers, are promising candidates for electrically triggered actuators, artificial muscles, biomedicine, and flexible electronics, where modulation of mechanical properties is crucial for maintaining structural integrity and performance. This study employs molecular dynamics simulations to explore how electric fields influence the mechanical behavior of polyelectrolytes.

A 63-year-old woman underwent living-donor kidney transplantation three years earlier for end-stage renal disease due to diabetic nephropathy, with her younger sister as the donor. She was prescribed calcium polystyrene sulfonate for the management of hyperkalemia, which had been discontinued two years earlier. At this time, she developed recurrent abdominal and urinary symptoms, which were managed empirically with antibiotics.

Background: Thermoelectric (TE) materials can directly convert heat into electricity, which is beneficial for energy sustainability. Organic conducting polymers are TE materials that have drawn significant attention owing to different favorable properties, such as good processability, availability, flexibility, and intrinsically low thermal conductivity. Among the organic TEs, poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) is the most extensively investigated material because of its stability and high electrical conductivity.
