Arecanut organic residue-enhanced polymer films: An efficient catalyst for amidation reactions
This research introduces an innovative approach to repurpose agricultural by-products as catalysts in chemical synthesis, addressing waste disposal challenges. Composite films were developed using arecanut organic residue, an underexploited by-product, blended with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and chitosan. The films were synthesized through solvent casting and thermal curing, with experimental parameters systematically optimized. Physicochemical characterization confirmed successful integration of components and revealed structural properties. The catalytic efficiency of the films was evaluated in amide synthesis, a key reaction in pharmaceuticals. A blend of 1.5 g PVA, 0.3 g chitosan, and 1 mL arecanut residue achieved a 95 % yield in ester-amine reactions, attributed to synergistic interactions between the polymer matrix and reactive sites. The films exhibited excellent reusability, maintaining catalytic efficiency over three cycles. This study highlights the potential of arecanut residue-based composites as sustainable, efficient catalysts for industrially relevant transformations.
期刊介绍:
Current Applied Physics (Curr. Appl. Phys.) is a monthly published international journal covering all the fields of applied science investigating the physics of the advanced materials for future applications.
Other areas covered: Experimental and theoretical aspects of advanced materials and devices dealing with synthesis or structural chemistry, physical and electronic properties, photonics, engineering applications, and uniquely pertinent measurement or analytical techniques.
Current Applied Physics, published since 2001, covers physics, chemistry and materials science, including bio-materials, with their engineering aspects. It is a truly interdisciplinary journal opening a forum for scientists of all related fields, a unique point of the journal discriminating it from other worldwide and/or Pacific Rim applied physics journals.
Regular research papers, letters and review articles with contents meeting the scope of the journal will be considered for publication after peer review.
The Journal is owned by the Korean Physical Society.
