Polymers provide a wide range of properties, and these properties can be greatly enhanced and modified through polymer blending. Polymer blending combines the properties and advantages of their original polymers. is paper showcases hydrophobic polymers prepared through polymer blending; these blends are characterized and evaluated for their efficiency in the removal of crude oil spills from aqueous media. e application of these blends holds a great deal of importance in preserving the environment and the recovery of lost oil in spills. e blends are produced using polystyrene (PS) as the matrix polymer and individually blending poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) and polyethylene (PE) with the PS consisting of proportions of 5-20 wt.% each. e blends are then electrospun into bead-free microfibers with interconnected porosities as shown by their respective scanned electron micrographs. All fibrous sorbents showed a high affinity towards the removal of crude oil, motor oil, and diesel spills. e highly viscous motor spill showed a different pattern of sorption onto fibers than that of crude oil and diesel spills. Upon comparing all the studied electrospun fibers to commercially available polypropylene fibrous sorbents, results show that the sorption efficiency of the electrospun fibers is superior. Most notably, both PS-PE5 and PS-PVC5 fibers showed to be highly more effective than commercially available polypropylene (PP) sorbents towards all types of oil spills.

“…The first stage was the rapid resolution phase (1 to 30 s). During this stage, the oil absorbency of RWS, PWS, and AWS decreased from the original 15.50, 31.15, and 39.01 g/g sharply down to 9.17, 18.75, and 28.23 g/g, respectively, because of the escape of excess oil, which had adhered superficially to the surface of fiber bundles (Wang et al 2015). The second stage was the slow resolution phase (30-600 s).…”

“…The draining of oil in the extra-lumen occurs when the capillary pressure is insufficient to hold the weight of the oil (Singh et al 2013). The oil bridges formed among the bundles of PWS and RWS would have been easier to destabilize (Wang et al 2015). After acetylation, the sliding of absorbed oil on the single fiber surface was prevented by the hydrophobicity of the fiber surface, which enhanced the stability of the capillary pressure within the AWS material, and thus, a drastic improvement in the oil-retention capacity was achieved.…”

“…In recent years, natural fibers have been shown to have many advantageous properties for oil remediation work; in particular, such materials are biodegradable, renewable, and low in cost (Alemdar and Sain 2008). Natural fibers have attracted a broad interest in current research on hydrophobic treatments, and exemplary studies have focused on oil-adsorption materials such as kapok filters (Huang and Lim 2006), corn stalk (Husseien et al 2009), cotton (Wang et al 2015), pomelo peel , rice husk (Kumagai et al 2007), sugarcane bagasse (Boni et al 2016), and sisal (Robinson et al 2002). Natural fibers show commendable oil-absorbing performance, with potentially wide applications.…”

OIC-A006 (BMPs osteogenesis compounds), can stimulate bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells ALP, OPN, OC, Cbfal expression. To stimulate new bone formation in the body. We postulate different amounts of drug microspheres on the PLGA/β-CPT scaffold can produce the effects on performance and sustained release characteristics. In this paper, through adding different amount of carrier drug microsphere, three concentrations scaffolds which are 12.5, 18.75 and 25 μmol/L are prepared by adding different amounts of drug-loaded microspheres. Hereafter called OICM/CPT-200, OICM/CPT-300, OICM/CPT-400. We implant them in rat femur diameter 3 mm depth of 3 mm hole for eight weeks. The degradation, microsphere, delivery properties, with X-ray, micro-CT and histology are tested. Results show that the contain carrier drug microsphere scaffolds become radiopaque, and the gaps between the scaffold and radial cut ends are often invisible. This preliminary study reveals that different carrier drug microsphere has a corresponding effect the performance of stent body, OICM/CPT – 200 scaffolds induction effect is best. Illustrates that the low concentration load OIC-A006 microspheres can promote bone healing, and high concentration of OIC-A006 micro ball is played a inhibitory effect on bone healing process.
