The EAS FHSC is an international initiative involving a network of investigators interested in FH from around 70 countries.• Information on FH prevalence is lacking in most countries; where available, data tend to align with contemporary estimates.• FH diagnosis and management varies widely across countries, with overall suboptimal identification and under-treatment.• In most countries diagnosis primarily relies on DLCN criteria, and less frequently on Simon Broom or MEDPED.• Therapy for FH is not universally reimbursed, and criteria vary across countries. Access to PCSK9i and apheresis is limited.
Spontaneously-dissolved, negatively-charged SWCNTs were cross-linked using p-diiodobenzene to produce ultralight, high surface area cryogels with high conductivity, suitable for supercapacitors application.

Graphene oxide (GO) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) have been previously used 10 independently as active supports for Layered Double Hydroxides (LDH), and found to enhance the 11 intrinsic CO 2 sorption capacity of the adsorbents. However, the long-term stability of the materials 12 subjected to temperature-swing adsorption (TSA) cycles still requires improvement. In this contribution,
13GO and MWCNT are hybridized to produce mixed substrates with improved surface area and
Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (SWCNTs) are materials with an array of remarkable physical properties determined by their geometries, however, SWCNTs are typically produced as a mixture of different lengths and electronic types. Consequently, many methods have been developed to sort the as-produced SWCNT samples by their physical cha-racteristics, often requiring aggressive and unscalable techniques to overcome the strong bundling forces between the nanotubes. Previously, it has been shown that negatively charging SWCNTs can lead to their thermodynamically-driven dissolution in polar solvents, and moreover that this process can selectively dissolve different SWNCT species, albeit with contrasting claims of selectivity. Here we carefully investigate dissolution as a function of charge added to the SWCNT starting material, using a range of complementary techniques. We uncover a far richer dependence on charge of SWCNT dissolution than previously reported. At low charge added, amorphous carbons preferentially dissolve, followed sequentially by metallic, larger diameter semiconducting SWCNTs, and finally smaller diameter semiconducting SWCNTs. At an optimal value, the dissolution yield is maximized across all species, however at higher charge than this we find the larger diameter and metallic SWCNTs are so charged they are no longer soluble, leaving smaller diameter SWCNTs in solution. Our results therefore clearly demonstrate two interconnected mechanisms for dissolution: on one hand charging of the SWNCTs based on their respective electron affinities on the other the solution thermodynamics. This work reconciles contrasting reports in the literature, provides a blueprint for scalable SWCNT separation and more generally demonstrates the.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
