N,O-Carboxymethyl chitosans were synthesized by the reaction between shrimp, crab and squid chitosans with monochloroacetic acid under basic conditions at 50°C. The mole ratio of reactants was obtained from various reaction conditions of shrimp chitosan polymer and oligomer types. The mole ratio 1:12:6 of chitosan:sodium hydroxide:monochloroacetic acid was used for preparing carboxymethyl of chitosan polymer types while carboxymethyl of chitosan oligomer types were used the mole ratio 1:6:3 of chitosan:sodium hydroxide:monochloroacetic acid. The chemical structure was analyzed by fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and proton nuclear magnatic resonance spectroscopy (1H-NMR). The FT-IR was used for confirm the insertion of carboxymethyl group on chitosan molecules. The 1H-NMR was used for determining the degree of substitution (DS) of carboxymethylation at hydroxyl and amino sites of chitosans. Carboxymethyl chitosan samples had the total DS of carboxymethylation ranging from 1.0-2.2. The highest of DS of carboxymethylation was from shrimp chitosan oligomer type.

In the present work, oxidation of alkenes with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of meso-tetrakis(4-hydroxyphenyl)porphyrinatoiron(III) chloride supported onto surface of functionalized multi-wall carbon nanotubes (FMWCNT), [ Fe ( THPP ) Cl@MWCNT ], is reported. The simple heterogeneous catalyst was characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and also thermal analysis. The amount of the catalyst loaded on the nanotubes was determined by atomic absorption spectroscopy. This heterogeneous catalyst proved to be an efficient and green catalyst and was successfully able to activate hydrogen peroxide without any additive toward the oxidation of alkenes in ethanol as a green solvent. Performance of the catalyst in oxidation of various alkenes was inspected under reflux, ultrasonic irradiation and mechanical stirring. Moreover, the catalyst can be reused several times under similar conditions.

Abstract Evidence of the control of yield and different morphological features of polyaniline (PANI), along with their higher thermal stability is reported. The syntheses were performed by varying the reaction time from 2 to 6 hours for three different methods using three different oxidizing agents. The freshly prepared PANI was investigated by means of fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The polymer yield was increased with the increasing of reaction time from 2 to 6 h for all oxidants in the synthesis approaches; while the reverse trend was observed for KPS in rapid mixing polymerization and mechanical stirring methods. The highest yield was obtained for 6 h reaction time using APS through mechanical stirring method. FESEM analysis showed the growth of regular and uniform PANI nanoparticles, along with the prevention of secondary growth and agglomeration of primary nanofibers using all three oxidizing agents for sonochemistry and rapid mixing polymerization method, except H2O2 in the case of later technique. However, irregular and agglomerated PANI was found for all oxidants in mechanical stirring method. TGA data showed that PANI synthesized by mechanical stirring method is thermally more stable than those prepared by sonochemistry and rapid mixing polymerization.

We prepared N, O-carboxymethyl chitosans (CMCSs) with different substitutional degrees (SDs) to evaluate their effects of hemostasis, and provided experimental basis on biomedical materials. Chloroethanoic acid was used to synthesize CMCSs. The structure were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WXRD). Potentiometric titration and Ubbelohde viscometer were adopted to determine the SD and intrinsic viscosity of CMCSs. Contact angle measurements were investigated to determine surface wettability. Method of dynamic clotting time and coagulation test in vivo were used to evaluate their effects of hemostasis. SDs of CMCSs were from 50% to 110%. As the SD increased, molecular weight decreased. CMCS powder with SD 63% possessed excellent hemostasis both in vitro and in vivo. CMCS powder owned hemostatic capability prior to CS. CMCS powder with SD 63% (neither too high, nor too low) possessed excellent hemostasis both in vitro and in vivo.

The presence of salts and dissolved gas like CO2 that is carried with natural gas and crude oil along the pipeline is the main reason for corrosion and scale formation. These problems are usually resolved separately by corrosion inhibitors and scale inhibitors or acidification. Meanwhile, utilizing a compound to resolve both corrosion and scale formation has an advantage in the economic side and working time. N,O-carboxymethyl chitosan or N,O-CMCs is one of the chitosan's derivates. It is water-soluble and has different functional groups. Those properties support its capability as a complexing agent on corrosion and scale inhibitors. Synthesis of N,O-CMCs was carried out by chemical reactions between chitosan and chloroacetic acid under alkaline circumstances. N,O-CMCs product was characterized using FT-IR and 1H-NMR spectroscopy. The inhibition efficiency was analyzed by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiodynamic polarization techniques. The measurements showed that the highest efficiency of corrosion inhibition reached 63.54% when the concentration and temperature were 30 ppm and 35 °C, respectively. N,O-CMCs was classified as a mixed-type inhibitor. The adsorption mechanism of the inhibitor followed Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The static scale inhibition test informed that the optimum inhibition efficiency of N,O-CMCs reached 60.00%.

Photodegradation emerged as an effective technology for elimination of phenol and phenolic compound contaminants. In this paper, we developed an facile and scaled-up synthesis method for production of nanoscaled titanium dioxide (TiO2) photocatalysts doped with inorganic metallic ions of Sn, Zn, Fe, Cr, Mo, W, V, Ce, Au, Ag, Pt, and Pd. The obtained photocatalysts show relatively small sizes around 10 nm with highly crystallinity and narrow size distribution, and their efficiencies for photocatalytic degradation of phenol are greatly enhanced by doping the metallic ions. The photocatalytic efficiencies of nanoscaled TiO2photocatalysts for phenol degradation could be improved to 93.6%, 89% and 98% by doping 2 wt.% Cr, 10 wt.% Ce, and 10 wt.% Pd, respectively, compared with that of the undoped nanoscaled TiO2photocatalysts around 42.5%. The doped nanoscaled TiO2photocatalysts may find potential application in treatment of phenol and phenolic compounds contaminants in industrial waste water.

Biomaterial is one of the good candidates for porous membrane preparation according to its environmental friendliness. In this work, the porous membranes of silk fibroin (SF) were prepared by solution casting with the addition of polyethylene glycol (PEG) and glutaraldehyde (GTA) aiming to improve the porosity and oxygen permeability of SF membrane. The conformation of SF was changed from random coil to β sheet form after treatment with MeOH. The interaction existing between SF chains and both PEG and GTA were characterized using Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The addition of PEG could produce more porosity in the membrane than GTA confirmed by their morphology observed from scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Moreover, the swelling behavior of the SF-PEG and SF-GTA membranes depended on the porous structure of the membrane which directly correlated to their oxygen permeability. The porosity of the SF membranes increased with the increase of PEG and GTA contents up to 40% and 3%w/w, respectively. After that, their porosity decreased as seen through the SEM and water swelling results. In addition, the SF-PEG membrane turned out to have higher degrees of both porosity and oxygen permeability than the SF-GTA membrane which related to its water swelling behavior.
