To enhance the mechanical properties of hydrogels, this study prepared a composite hydrogel (P-D<sub>30</sub>-DIOH<sub>1</sub>) composed of covalently crosslinked polyacrylamide (PAM), diacetone acrylamide (DAAM), and expanded dickite (DIOH). The results indicated that PAM and DAAM could form a dual crosslinked network structure through hydrogen bonding and molecular chain entanglement, thereby improving the mechanical properties of the hydrogel. Furthermore, the surface of dickite, which is rich in -OH and Si<img>O groups, could simultaneously form hydrogen bonds with PAM and DAAM, thus acting as an inorganic crosslinking agent.

Two different sizes (fine and coarse) and three percentages (10, 20, and 30 % by weight) of volcanic ash were added to a clayey sediment from Viznar (Granada, Spain) to produce bricks that were fired at 800, 950, and 1100 °C in an electric oven with an oxidising atmosphere.

Results indicate that indigo monomers can penetrate the channels of both palygorskite and sepiolite, conferring a greenish-blue hue and high stability. However, the diffusion of indigo is determined by the size match between the channel and indigo monomers. In palygorskite, indigo monomers can diffuse only upon heating because the channel size is only a little bit larger than the indigo molecule, while in sepiolite, lager channels allow easy diffusion, even without heating. However, sepiolite's larger channels make indigo molecules more prone to chemical degradation or migration. Under vacuum conditions, indigo molecules more easily diffuse into the channels of both clay minerals, yielding pigments with higher saturation and enhanced stability.

The currently available methods are, however, laborious, costly, and time-consuming. Also, the accuracy of many of these methods is debatable. We propose a novel method for the detection and quantification of coronavirus based on the clay–virus–electrolyte interaction using the sedimentation method. Newcastle disease virus (NDV), a Coronavirus surrogate (CS), and Infectious bronchitis virus (IBV), an avian coronavirus, were used in this study. Due to changes in inter-particle forces of clay in the presence of the virus, the sedimentation rate of the clay-electrolyte system changed. A protocol was thus developed based on the changes in the sedimentation rate to predict the presence and quantity of the given virus. The sedimentation rates were recorded by mixing the bentonite clay with the CS or IBV and 0.1 M NaCl electrolyte solution at a solid-to-liquid ratio of 1:50. The sedimentation rates were varied with different CS concentrations due to different particle-particle associations due to the sorption of virus particles on the clay surface. The proposed method was successfully validated for using the plaque assay techniques for CS virus and RT-PCR for the IBV. The proposed method is simple, cost-effective, and very useful for the detection of coronavirus and other viruses' presence and quantification. Moreover, the methodology is useful to diagnose the Newcastle disease virus (NDV), which causes infection among several avian species during avian outbreaks.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":245,"journal":{"name":"Applied Clay Science","volume":"265 ","pages":"Article 107680"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143155823","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
