A novel method for the fabrication of tetrasulfanilamide cobalt(II) phthalocyanine (CoTSPC) was developed and the synthesized product was characterized using various techniques namely UV-visible, infrared and X-ray diffraction spectroscopic and thermal gravimetric analysis. An electrode with glassy carbon was modified on CoTSPC with an rGO composite. The effect of experimental parameters, such as precipitation agent, precursor concentration, reaction time and stabilizing agent, was systematically studied to investigate possible CoTSPC formation. The electrochemical properties of prepared CoTSPC/rGO/GCE were explored through cyclic voltammetry (CV) by using a three-electrode system. The results showed that the specific capacitances and sizes of the fabricated compounds are related. Due to a large surface area, within an operated voltage range of −0.2 to 0.4 V, synthesized CoTSPC/rGO/GCE exhibited an excellent long-cycle life and the highest capacitance (157 F g−1), thereby indicating that fabricated CoTSPC/rGO/GCE can be used as an outstanding electrode material in supercapacitors.

A new type of EVA-g-PU/OMMT nanocomposites was synthesized through the method of chemical modification and melt intercalation. FTIR testing showed that the PU prepolymer was grafted on EVA main chains successfully. The structures of EVA-g-PU/OMMT nanocomposites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The enhanced storage modulus of EVA-g-PU/OMMT nanocomposites was characterized by dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). The thermal stabilities of EVA/clay nanocomposites were also studied by thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). Mechanical testing showed that the tensile strength and tear strength of EVA-g-PU/OMMT nanocomposites were far superior to pure EVA.

Ciprofloxacin Removal

N,S-TiO2 deposited on three kinds of pre-treated sugarcane bagasse was synthesized via a sol–gel method. The obtained composites were characterized by various techniques, including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL). UV-visible induced degradation of ciprofloxacin was investigated. The influence of some experimental parameters such as contact time, pH, dosage, and initial concentration on the efficiency of ciprofloxacin elimination was also evaluated. The highest efficiency was observed for the alkaline pre-treated sugarcane bagasse combined with N,S-TiO2, about 86% under optimal conditions (contact time 150-min irradiation, pH 5.5–6, dosage 0.5 g L−1, and the initial concentration CIP 30 ppm). There may be a rapid ciprofloxacin transition from the adsorption site to the photocatalytic site, and the alkaline pre-treated sugarcane bagasse/N,S-TiO2 prevented the recombining of holes and electrons of the photocatalyst. Furthermore, the alkaline pretreatment sugarcane bagasse/N,S-TiO2 composite material was sustainable, with only a 10% reduction after reusing the material three times. The presence of sugarcane bagasse made the material easy to recover from the liquid phase.

Abstract This study was carried out to investigate the extraction of cellulose acetate (CA) from cajuput (Melaleuca leucadendron) twigs and sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) bagasse using an environmentally friendly method. At first, cellulose was extracted from cajuput twigs (CT) and sugarcane bagasse (SB) through prehydrolysis followed by soda (NaOH) pulping and elementary chlorine-free (ECF) bleaching. Later, the extracted cellulose was acetylated using iodine (I) as a catalyst. The obtained CA was characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction. FTIR and NMR analysis proved the replacement of free OH (hydroxyl) groups by acetyl groups. The degree of substitution (DS) showed the acetylation capability of cellulose extracted from CT and SB as well. The cellulose diameter and its crystallinity index were measured by SEM and X-ray diffraction, respectively. Furthermore, the thermal gravimetric analysis showed that CA extracted from CT and SB was thermal resistance. Therefore, CT and SB could be potential alternative resources for CA production using the mentioned method.

Materials Used

Stability of microstructure and heat resistant ability at high temperature is one of the important properties in ceramics or silicate materials which are normally exposed with fire such as refractories and insulation or other materials used in furnaces. This study used a ternary-blended geopolymer which was synthesized from an optimized mixture of red mud (RM), rice husk ash (RHA), diatomaceous earth (DE), and water glass solution (WGS) with silica modulus of 2.5. The geopolymer samples were tested thermal properties of heat resistance (%), volumetric shrinkage (%), mass loss (%) at 1000°C to evaluate thermal resistant ability. Changes of microstructure of the ternary-blended geopolymer samples were also characterized before and after exposed at high temperature using methods of X-ray diffraction (XRD), Thermogravimetric analysis or thermal gravimetric analysis (DTA-TGA), and Scanning electron microscope (SEM). The experimental results showed the ternary-blended geopolymer has high thermal stability and unchanged microstructure even at high temperatures. Hence, the geopolymer in this study is suggested to apply as an insolation with the upper limit of temperature to work at 1000°C.

Before And After

Halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) surface-grafting poly(D,L-lactide) (g-HNTs) were synthesized by bulk ring-opening polymerization of D,L-lactide using stannous octoate as catalyst and HNTs as co-initiator. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and zeta potential measurement were employed to elucidate the structure and properties of HNTs before and after grafting with D,L-lactide. FTIR spectrum certified the existence of poly(D,L-lactide) chains on the surface of g-HNTs. The amount of surface-grafted poly(D,L-lactide) measured by TGA was 4.6% in weight. The grafted poly(D,L-lactide) chains on the surfaces of HNTs can relieve the clustering effect of HNTs to some extents.

Interesting Class

A new interesting class of linear unsaturated polycarbonates based on 3,5-bis(p-hydroxybenzylidene)-isopropylpiperidinone (T), 3,5-divanillylidene isopropylpiperidinone (IT), or 3,5-bis(m-hydroxybenzylidene)-isopropylpiperidinone (III) have been synthesized. An interfacial phosgenation technique carried out at ambient temperature was used for the synthesis of the polycarbonates. The resulting polycarbonates were characterized by elemental analyses, infrared spectroscopy, 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectral analysis, solubility and viscometry. The thermal behaviour of the synthesized polymers was evaluated by thermal gravimetric analysis and correlated with their structures. The crystallinity of all polymers was examined by x-ray diffraction analysis.
