Nanocomposite hydrogel from grafting of acrylamide onto HPMC using sodium montmorillonite nanoclay and removal of crystal violet dye

Hydrogel nanocomposites were synthesized from grafting of acrylamide onto hydroxypropyl methylcellulose using methylenebisacrylamide crosslinker and sodium montmorillonite (Na-MMt) nanoclay. The effect of nanoclay content on the swelling of nanocomposites was investigated and an optimum swelling capacity was obtained at 12.7 wt% of Na-MMt. The effect of salt solutions on the swelling of nanocomposites revealed that the degree of swelling of samples depends only slightly on the salinity. The structure of nanocomposites was characterized by XRD, SEM, FTIR, and TEM techniques. The XRD and TEM results confirmed the exfoliation of Na-MMt nanoclay in nanocomposite matrix. The morphology of the nanocomposites was characterized by SEM technique and according to the results a loose surface was observed. The nanocomposite hydrogels were evaluated to remove cationic crystal violet dye from water. The investigation of the dye adsorption capacity and rate of nanocomposite hydrogels as a function of Na-MMt content revealed that the both adsorption capacity and rate is enhanced as the nanoclay content is increased in nanocomposite composition. The experimental equilibrated adsorption capacity of nanocomposites was analyzed using Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm models. The best fit to the experimental data was obtained with the Langmuir model.     

Preparation and characterisation of core-shell CNTs@MIPs nanocomposites and selective removal of estrone from water samples

This paper reports the preparation of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) functionalized with molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) for advanced removal of estrone. CNTs@Est-MIPs nanocomposites with a well-defined core-shell structure were obtained using a semi-covalent imprinting strategy, which employed a thermally reversible covalent bond at the surface of silica-coated CNTs for a large-scale production. The morphology and structure of the products were characterised by transmission electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The adsorption properties were demonstrated by equilibrium rebinding experiments and Scatchard analysis. The results demonstrate that the imprinted nanocomposites possess favourable selectivity, high capacity and fast kinetics for template molecule uptake, yielding an adsorption capacity of 113.5 μmol/g. The synthetic process is quite simple, and the different batches of synthesized CNTs@Est-MIPs nanocomposites showed good reproducibility in template binding. The feasibility of removing estrogenic compounds from environmental water using the CNTs@Est-MIPs nanocomposites was demonstrated using water samples spiked with estrone.     

Investigation the Effects of Green-Synthesized Copper Nanoparticles on the Performance of Activated Carbon-Chitosan-Alginate for the Removal of Cr(VI) from Aqueous Solution

In the present investigation, green nano-zerovalent copper (GnZVCu), activated carbon (AC), chitosan (CS) and alginate (ALG) nanocomposites were produced and used for the elimination of chromium (VI) from a polluted solution. The nanocomposites GnZVCu/AC-CS-alginate and AC-CS-alginate were prepared. Analysis and characterization were performed by the following techniques: X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The SEM analysis revealed that the nanocomposites are extremely mesoporous, which leads to the greatest adsorption of Cr⁺⁶ (i.e., 97.5% and 95%) for GnZVCu/AC-CS-alginate and AC-CS-alginate, respectively. The adsorption efficiency was enhanced by coupling GnZVCu with AC-CS-alginate with a contact time of 40 min. The maximum elimination of Cr⁺⁶ with the two nanocomposites was achieved at pH 2. The isotherm model, Freundlich adsorption isotherm and kinetics model and P.S.O.R kinetic models were discovered to be better suited to describe the exclusion of Cr⁺⁶ by the nanocomposites. The results suggested that the synthesized nanocomposites are promising for the segregation of Cr⁺⁶ from polluted solutions, specially the GnZVCu/AC-CS-alginate nanocomposite.     

Synthesis of polyamidoamine dendrimer (PAMAM/CuS/AA) nanocomposite and its application in the removal of Isma acid fast yellow G Dye

The adsorption of Isma acid fast yellow G dye was studied using polyamidoamine (PAMAM)/Copper sulfide (CuS)/AA nanocomposite containing different amounts of CuS by batch technique.

The nanocomposites were characterized by Fourier‐transform infrared, X‐ray diffraction, transmission electron microscope, energy dispersive spectroscopy X‐ray, thermal gravimetric analysis, ultraviolet‐visible, and fluorescence spectroscopy. The size of the CuS nanoparticles was formed in the range of 12–19 nm. The adsorption capacity of the nanocomposites was evaluated as a function of initial dye concentration, pH, adsorbent dosage, and time. It was verified that the adsorption rate fits a pseudo‐second‐order kinetics for initial Isma acid fast yellow G dye concentrations. Results indicated that the adsorption of Isma acid fast yellow G dye fitted well to the Langmuir model. Our results demonstrate that the PAMAM dendrimer/CuS/AA nanocomposite is very promising for removing organic dyes from wastewater. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Synthesis of multiresponsive β‐cyclodextrin nanocomposite through surface RAFT polymerization for controlled drug delivery

In this study, a unique magnetic, pH, and thermo‐responsive hydrogel nanocomposite was synthesized via surface reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) copolymerization of acrylic acid (AA) and N‐isopropyl acrylamide (NIPAM) in the presence of magnetic β‐cyclodextrin (β‐CD). The nanocomposite demonstrated a pH‐responsiveness behavior at pHs 3 and 9. Moreover, swelling behaviors of nanocomposite were measured in solutions with various temperatures. Furthermore, the nanocomposites exhibited high swelling capacity by applying an external magnetic field because of the presence of Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles in the polymer structure. Besides, the doxorubicin (DOX) loading and releasing behaviors of the hydrogel nanocomposites were studied because of the stimuli‐responsive properties of the synthesized carriers. The adsorption of DOX obeyed a pseudo‐second‐order model and fitted well to the Langmuir isotherm model with the maximum adsorption capacity uptake of 291 mg g^?1. In conclusion, the hydrogel nanocomposites were found to be as potential nanocarriers for use in controlled release applications.

Hybrid Nanocomposite Prepared by Graft Copolymerization of 4-Acryloyl morpholine onto Chitosan in the Presence of Organophilic Montmorillonite

Organophilic montmorillonite (OMMT) was synthesized by cationic exchange between Na-MMT and Vinyl benzyl triphenyl phosphonium chloride in an aqueous solution. A new nanocomposite consisting of 4-acryloyl morpholine-chitosan and OMMT was prepared by γ -ray irradiation polymerization.

The most interesting application of the nanocomposite is its ability for adsorption purification of waste water containing acid dyes. One of the objectives in this study was to develop new and active prepared copolymers which can be examined for their antimicrobial activities. It was found that the copolymer nanocomposite based on phosphonium group and some heavy metal ions in its structure having broad spectrum against pathogenic bacteria such as Staphylococcus aurius, Escherichia coli and Aspergillus flavus fungi.     

Tough nanocomposite hydrogels from cellulose nanocrystals/poly(acrylamide) clusters: influence of the charge density,aspect ratio and surface coating with PEG

Cellulose-derived materials are usually characterized by sophisticated structures, leading to unique and multiple functions, which have been a source of inspiration for the fabrication of a wide variety of nanocomposites. Cellulose nanocrystals/poly(acrylamide) (CNCs/PAM) nanocomposite hydrogels were synthesized via in situ polymerization in the CNC suspension. The cellulose from pulp fiber under different sulfuric acid hydrolysis conditions, examined by conductometric titration and transmission electron microscopy, was applied to study how the effects of the surface charge and aspect ratio affect CNCs’ mechanical reinforcement in nanocomposites. The results indicated that the higher surface charge concentration resulted in better dispersibility in aqueous suspension, leading to a more efficient energy dissipation process. The CNC reinforcement behavior followed the percolation model where the greater aspect ratio of CNC contributed to higher mechanical properties. The preferential adsorption of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) on the CNC surface was characterized by zeta potential measurements where the fracture strength and fracture elongation of nanocomposites decreased with increasing PEG concentration. The adsorption of PEG on the CNC surface occupied the active sites for polymer chain propagation, which hindered the PAM cross-linking effect on the CNC surface and decreased the cross-linking density of the network.
