Thermosensitive molecularly imprinted polymers (T-MIPs) on porous carriers were prepared via the synergy of dual functional monomers of 4-vinylpyridine (VP) and N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM), for selective recognition and controlled adsorption and release of bisphenol A (BPA) by the temperature regulation. The porous polymer supporter was synthesized by multistep swelling of polystyrene and the...

This work revealed that β-cyclodextrin was attached onto the surface of TiO(2) predominately by its secondary ring side, which caused paradoxical functions of β-cyclodextrin in the photodegradation of the four bisphenols. The equilibrium between the guest adsorbed through β-cyclodextrin onto TiO(2) and the one locked in β-CD in water could also change the role of β-cyclodextrin in the degradati...

Sphingobium fuliginis OMI is a bacterium that can degrade a variety of recalcitrant alkylphenols and bisphenols. This study reports the draft genome sequence of S. fuliginis OMI.

In this work, the dynamics of the primary and the Johari-Goldstein (JG) processes are studied with dielectric spectroscopy. We found the relaxations at glass transition temperature in polyphenylglycidylether and diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A to be strongly correlated over a wide temperature T and pressure P range. Analysing the temperature and pressure behaviour of the and (JG) -processes...

BACKGROUND Bisphenol A (BPA) is a high-production-volume chemical associated with a wide range of health outcomes in animal and human studies. BPA is used as a developer in thermal paper products, including cash register receipt paper; however, little is known about exposure of cashiers to BPA and alternative compounds in receipt paper. OBJECTIVE We determined whether handling receipt paper r...

Heat of polymerization of Bis-GMA-TEDMA monomer mixtures, corresponding to the conceivable constituents of composite resins, was evaluated from the area of exothermic peak in DSC curves, and also the conversions of polymerization were calculated from the ratio of the heat of polymerization for each monomer mixture to an assumed one at 100% conversion. The effects of composition of monomers and ...

Bisphenol A (BPA), a well-known endocrine disruptor, is metabolized and eliminated rapidly from the body in adult animals. However, many authors have reported that perinatal BPA exposure alters development of the brain, reproductive system and behavior in the next generation. Recently, BPA substitutes, especially bisphenol F (BPF), have been used because of concerns about the influence of BPA o...

The extensive global use of bisphenols (bisphenol A (BPA) and its analogs) is serious concern to human health aquatic ecosystems. Aquatic plants rhizosphere microorganisms can largely affect the environmental fate bisphenols. In this study, association between common reed, which distributed widely in environment, existing surrounding area roots was studied illustrate capabilities possible mecha...
