The last 50 years have been fundamental for the development of technologies that currently allow human beings to make safe journeys in the orbit of the planet, study and accurately analyze the universe, build smart cities, propose more sustainable production processes, etc. The technological leap of the last decades has influenced practically all sectors, from engineering to medicine. There are many factors that allowed for technological evolution, and one of them refers to the development of new materials. Herein, polymers stand out. The versatility of these materials reinforced their relevance during the SARS-CoV-2 period. In the period when many medical and hospital supplies were exhausted, polymers were useful for manufacturing items such as face shields, general purpose masks, and swabs, helping to counter the spread of the virus. Two years after the pandemic peak, the challenge is to fight the viral variants and make the methods of diagnosis and treatment more effective. In this regard, nanotechnology and nanoscience seem to be promising for this purpose. Through a review study, the present work aims to identify technologies already available or under development that allow for the use of polymeric nanomaterials against the spread of the new coronavirus and its variants.","PeriodicalId":16998,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Research Updates in Polymer Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139237620","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The effects of AZ61 content at different percentage on the final properties of the composite were investigated. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) were employed to verify the uniformity of the mixing process and to confirm the composition of both the raw materials and the composite. The result, relative to pristine PA6, the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) demonstrated a substantial increment of 48.3%, reaching 58 MPa. Whereas the yield strength (YS) exhibited a notable surge to 49.38 MPa, constituting a 52.9% enhancement. Additionally, the PA6-5AZ61 composition achieved the highest microhardness value at 21.162 HV, signifying a remarkable 66.3% augmentation compared to the unalloyed PA6 material.

Industrial hardwood kraft black liquor was used to extract the THKL utilized by acidification. Chemical and thermal properties of the THKL with and without crosslinking were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, solid-state 13C cross-polarization/magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (13C CP/MAS NMR) spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), gel permeation chromatography (GPC), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). FTIR results revealed a new peak corresponding to the ether bond and hemiacetal formation due to crosslinking at 1075 cm-1 and 1324 cm-1. 13C CP/MAS NMR spectra revealed the presence of a higher number of ether bonds due to the reduced aromatic and aliphatic hydroxyl groups in THKL and new bonds formed at 62-64 ppm and 168-191 ppm due to crosslinking. XPS results revealed that new bonds were formed between glycolic acid and THKL, leading to increased atomic oxygen percentage and carbon–oxygen bonds in crosslinked THKL detected by peak intensity changes at 287.7 and 288.8 related to O–C–O and O–C=O. Also, the oxygen content increased from 14.88% to 31.76% due to bond formation. GPC confirmed a higher molecular weight and broader molecular-weight distribution of THKL. DSC and TGA curves of crosslinked THKL revealed exothermic behavior, high thermal stability, and low thermal degradation rate. Owing to a significant amount of kraft black liquor being generated by wood pulp industries and attractive chemical properties of THKL, THKL demonstrates promise as a raw material to produce green, sustainable bio-adhesives via the crosslinking of its different hydroxyl groups using glycolic acid.","PeriodicalId":16998,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Research Updates in Polymer Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139254741","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Soy protein isolate (SPI) is a plant derived protein that holds fair film forming abilities. It demonstrates evenness of film surface, decent tensile strength and interacts easily with a wide range of additives. Additives are generally added to improve the material properties and antibacterial nature of the film. In this study, we have explored the effect of camphor incorporation on the material properties and overall performance of the film. SPI based films (having 7% SPI (w/v)) were prepared by solution casting method. The concentration of camphor was varied from 0.5 to 3% w/w of 7% SPI. The films prepared by camphor addition were characterized for their transmittance, Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and mechanical properties. The FTIR spectra confirm the incorporation of camphor as a major change in the band intensity was seen compared to neat films. However, camphor addition made the films hydrophilic and a noticeable decrease in the tensile strength was seen. The water vapour transmission rate increased upon camphor addition as compared to neat SPI films. Nevertheless, camphor- SPI film was stable as very minimum leaching occurred during the study. Unlike the neat camphor solution (1-3% w/v), the camphor modified SPI films didn’t exhibit antibacterial activity against Listeria monocytogenes and Escherichia coli. Camphor was seen to significantly increase the antioxidant properties of SPI films.","PeriodicalId":16998,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Research Updates in Polymer Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139258811","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Similarly, to address the biofouling in the aquatic environment, hybrid nanocomposites of organic-inorganic materials, photocatalytic nanomaterials, metal and metal oxide nanomaterials (nanoparticles, nanowires, nanorods), etc. are employed as viable agents to create non-toxic or low-toxic antifouling coatings.

Such a wonderful technology is being totally disturbed by a troublesome problem and a predominant barrier called membrane fouling, which drastically limits the commercialization of the membranes and the whole membrane industrial technology as well.

The micro-structures and -morphologies of the porous materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) respectively, and the photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB) dye was tested under visible-light irradiation. It is found that the thermal decomposition of NH4HCO3 promoted destruction of the layer-structured g-C3N4 and increment of the specific surface area, producing more porous structures on the material surfaces, which is considered to be vital for the improvement of photocatalytic performance. Compared with the photocatalyst calcined by pure DCDA, the pg-C3N4 photocatalysts obtained by mixing the two raw materials performed better on MB dye degradation. Moreover, photocatalytic efficiency of the catalysts improved significantly with increasing NH4HCO3 contents in the raw materials. The degradation rate photocatalyzed by pg-C3N4 materials can reach more than 90% within 1.5 h, 6.5 times higher than that of the control material. It comes up to 99% at 2 h, basically achieving the complete degradation and decolorization of MB dye.","PeriodicalId":16998,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Research Updates in Polymer Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75884766","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
