“…Diatomite has excellent characteristics, such as porosity, low density, large specific surface area, relative incompressibility, chemical stability, and low price. 11 These characteristics are also crucial issues to consider when preparing composite materials. For instance, Li et al 12 have used a batch method to study the effects of surface coating on the adsorption performance of DM.…”

Developing green composites has received intense attention among the scientific community because of their ability to help alleviate the global environmental pollution challenges. This current work focused on preparing a bio‐based composite material with desirable performance using renewable materials like diatomaceous earth, and polylactic acid (PLA) with poly(butanediol adipate ester) prepolymer (PBAPU) as a compatibilizer. The composites were prepared by reactive mixing using an intensive mixer. Subsequently, the effects of the PBAPU content on the structure and properties of the composites were studied. From the test results, it was revealed that increasing the PBAPU content resulted in an increasing trend in the properties of the composites. For instance, the thermal stability of the composites was improved as the PBAPU content was increased, and the best thermal stability was obtained when 20 wt% PBAPU was added. In addition, the mechanical properties test results showed that the elongation at break and impact strength of the composites increased with increasing PBAPU content. On the contrary, the tensile strength of the composites decreased with increasing PBAPU content. The scanning electron microscope images showed that the compatibility between the PLA matrix and PBAPU in the composites was improved significantly. Based on the analysis of the test results for the material's structure, morphology, thermal stability, fluidity, and other properties, it can be concluded that a bio‐based composite material with desirable performance was successfully prepared.

“…Interest in continental diatoms of China extends beyond biodiversity discovery to a rich array of work related to water quality and bioassessment (e.g. Ouyang et al 2015 ), impacts of eutrophication and the creation of dams ( Wang and Zhang 2004 ; Shen et al 2018 ), paleoenvironmental reconstructions ( Rioual and Wang 2009 ) and the development of many products with diatoms ( Zhang et al 2012 ; Wang and Seibert 2017 ; Zhang 2019 ).…”

In this paper we inventory the continental diatom taxa described from inland waters in China, from the first species descriptions dating back to 1848 through 2019. China’s geography and hydrography are complex, including the world’s highest mountains, many large rivers, salty lakes, and large karst regions. From this area, a total of 1128 taxa have been described from China over this time period. We examine the number of taxa described in ca. 20-year intervals and note the periods of time of no to few descriptions, versus time intervals with many taxon descriptions. Early on, taxon descriptions of freshwater diatoms from China were done by mostly by Europeans working alone, and the time frame of 1948 to 1967 had few descriptions, as a devasting famine and the cultural revolution impacted scientific work and productivity. B.V. Skvortzov produced a large number of taxon descriptions, during his time in residence in Harbin, later while in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and even posthumously. More recently, a wide range of labs and collaborations across China, and with a diverse array of international partners, is ushering in a new, robust era of research on the biodiversity of continental diatoms. A few areas of research and work for the future are discussed.
