PSGMA latex was modified with <i>N</i>-methyl-<span>d</span>-glucamine (NMDG), 1,2-bis(3-aminopropylamino)ethane (BAPE), <i>N</i>-(2-hydroxyethyl)ethylenediamine (HEA), and <i>N</i>,<i>N</i>'-dimethylethylenediamine (NMEA). The presence of<i> N</i> amount varying between 2.1 and 4.4% in the results of elemental analysis showed that the modification was successful. Boron adsorption studies were carried out using these modified latexes. The study was carried out using the curcumin method by UV–vis spectrophotometry. For the most effective adsorption process, at pH value of 9, the boron concentration was 10 ppm and the contact time was 60 min. It was found that latex modified with NMDG had a higher adsorption capacity (0.195 mmol/g) than other modified latexes. Particle sizes were determined by dynamic light scattering spectrometry and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses. The particle diameter of PSGMA latex was found to be approximately 140 nm in SEM analysis and the particles were almost monodisperse. After PSGMA latex was modified with NMDG, BAPE, HEA, and NMEA agents and boron adsorption was performed, it was observed that the particle diameters increased to approximately 170, 270, 220, and 260 nm, respectively. An elemental analyzer was used to determine the %N of the structures. The %B<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> of the structures was determined with a thermogravimetric analyzer. While thermal analysis studies showed that organic components were completely removed from the structure at 700 °C, residues ranging from 4.8 to 10.4% (%B<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>) were found in boron adsorption polymers. The %B amounts were determined with an inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy device. It was observed that the amount of adsorbed boron varied between 0.42 and 0.95%, and the highest amount of %B belonged to latex modified with NMDG due to its very simple structure and the location of the –OH groups.</p><h3>Graphical Abstract</h3>\u0000<div><figure><div><div><picture><img></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":601,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Polymer Journal","volume":"33 11","pages":"1597 - 1608"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s13726-024-01342-5.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141385335","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

NPs are gaining attention as a cutting-edge technology in the fields of pharmaceuticals, medicine, food, agriculture processing, and packaging. Pullulan biopolymers provide an environmentally friendly solution that effectively addresses the world's waste disposal issue by removing untreated waste from the agro-food industries and using this waste as a potential substrate for pullulan biosynthesis. Nowadays, pullulan in the form of NPs, nanocomposites, and nanoformulation has become increasingly popular because of their specific application needs with enhanced molecular properties like strength, durability, electrical conductivity, and catalytic activity. This approach offers a valuable product called pullulan-based nanopolymer, which holds promise in various industries. Pullulan with the highest yield capacity to date has the potential to significantly decrease production costs and increase applicability range. This review provides detailed insights into the latest methods for extracting pullulan biopolymers from agricultural and food waste materials in the form of polysaccharides.

This work aimed at using mild and green conditions for incorporating high silica content in natural rubber (NR) without using a silane coupling agent. The NR latex was modified into a low degree (5%) of epoxide-functionalized NR, symbolized as ENR5 by epoxidation reaction. The silica (40 phr) was pre-dispersed in water using ultrasonication to break down the silica particles, symbolized as USiP before mixing in the obtained ENR5 latex. After water evaporation, no silica flocculation at the bottom of the container was observed, meaning that silica was well infiltrated in the rubber matrix without coagulating agents. The interaction of hydroxyl groups of silica with epoxide groups of ENR5 could support the stable dispersion of the silica in the rubber matrix. Then, the dried ENR5-USiP was further mixed with curing agents in a two-roll mill. The cure characteristic, morphology and mechanical properties of ENR5-USiP were compared with silica-filled NR using a conventional mixing process (NR-SiC) and NR filled with silica treated by a silane coupling agent (NR-SSiC). As a result, ENR5-USiP exhibited higher mechanical properties than NR-SiC and NR-SSiC. The SEM micrograph revealed the good dispersion of nano-size silica in the rubber matrix of ENR5-USiP composites. It can be highlighted that the breakage of silica particles by ultrasonication is a facile method and mixing of the obtained silica in the ENR5 latex is a green condition.

The cooling process in injection molding takes up a significant portion of an overall cycle time. In this study, a thermal analysis of conventional and threaded cooling channels in injection mold cavity was conducted using infrared thermal imaging. The experiments measured the temperature distributions in the mold cavity as they reached steady states during both heating and cooling phases. The temperature–time dynamics within the injection mold cavity revealed that the threaded design was significantly more efficient, heating up 23.4 s faster and cooling down 33.3 s quicker than the conventional cooling channel. Additionally, the threaded cooling channel maintained a more uniform temperature distribution of 1.64 °C lower than that in conventional cooling. The threaded configuration achieved peak temperatures 5.88% more rapidly and returned faster to near-ambient levels by 5.55%, highlighting its enhanced efficiency. Findings showed a higher quality of mold products and a reduction in cooling time, with the threaded cooling channel producing parts characterized by a high-gloss and refined surface finish. This enhanced performance of the threaded cooling channel could lead to significant energy savings and productivity gains in industrial applications.</p><h3>Graphical abstract</h3><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":601,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Polymer Journal","volume":"33 11","pages":"1539 - 1552"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141123096","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
