This article investigates the precipitation behavior of the phases in metastable β-type titanium alloys (Ti-38644) and their significant impact on the mechanical properties. By manipulating various solid solution aging parameters, the morphology, quantity, and distribution of the αs phase can be optimized. After one hour of solid solution treatment at 760 °C, the alloy is predominantly composed of the β phase, with a higher concentration of aluminum at the grain boundaries compared to the interior of the grains. Subsequently, after ten hours of aging treatment at 450 °C and 470 °C, the needle-shaped αs phase preferentially precipitated at the grain boundaries. As the aging temperature increased to 470 °C, the area percentage of the αs phase rose from 42.36% to 57.34%, while its yield strength (σs) increased from 967 MPa at 450 °C to 1211 MPa at 470 °C. This increase in σs results from the combined effects of dislocation strengthening (σρ) and precipitation hardening. This article provides a comprehensive theoretical analysis of the various factors that influence σs, offering valuable theoretical support for the development of heat treatment processes for the Ti-38644 titanium alloy.

Introduction: Heavy metal pollution poses significant food safety risks. To address this, a composite hydrogel composed of hydrotalcite and alginic acid was developed for adsorbing cationic heavy metal pollutants prevalent in food-related wastewater.
Methods: The composite hydrogel was synthesized via hydrothermal methods and chemically crosslinked with calcium ions.

Geopolymers are an environmentally sustainable class of low-calcium alkali-activated materials (AAMs), distinct from high-calcium C-A-S-H gel systems. Synthesized from aluminosilicate-rich precursors such as fly ash, metakaolin, slag, waste glass, and coal gasification fly ash (CGFA), geopolymers offer a significantly lower carbon footprint, valorize industrial by-products, and demonstrate superior durability in aggressive environments compared to Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC). Recent advances in thermodynamic modeling and phase chemistry, particularly in CaO-SiO-AlO systems, are improving precursor selection and mix design optimization, while Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and hybrid ML-thermodynamic approaches show promise for predictive performance assessment.

Chiral amino acids (AAs) are important components in tea, contributing to its flavor and potential bioactivity. However, their analysis in complex tea matrices remains challenging due to the presence of enantiomers. In this study, a sensitive and green method was developed using supercritical fluid chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (SFC-QQQ/MS) for the simultaneous separation and quantification of 20 pairs of chiral AAs in six types of Chinese tea.

Background: Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have attracted much attention in the field of sample pretreatment due to their high specific surface area, designable pore structures, and excellent stability. However, their weak polarity and low electron cloud density characteristics limit their efficient enrichment of polar and hydrophilic pollutants.
Results: This study focused on the trace detection requirements of polar aromatic amines (AAs), which are typical hydrophilic pollutants in foods, and proposed a new carbamide functionalization strategy to modify COFs, aiming to achieve efficient extraction of AAs.

This story began half a century ago with the discovery of an unusually high presence of tryptophan (Trp, W) in transthyretin (TTR), one of the three carrier proteins of thyroid hormones. With the Trp-rich retinol-binding protein (RBP), TTR forms a plasma complex implicated in the delivery of retinoid compounds to body tissues. W has the lowest concentration among all AAs involved in the sequencing of human body proteins.
