Simple and Fast One-Pot Cellulose Gel Preparation in Aqueous Pyrrolidinium Hydroxide Solution-Cellulose Solvent and Antibacterial Agent.

ABSTRACT: Cellulose is the main component of biomass and is the most abundant biopolymer on earth; it is a non-toxic, low-cost material that is biocompatible and biodegradable. Cellulose gels are receiving increasing attention as medical products, e.g., as wound dressings. However, the preparation of cellulose hydrogels employing unmodified cellulose is scarcely reported because of the cumbersome dissolution of cellulose. In previous studies, we developed the new promising cellulose solvent N-butyl-N-methylpyrrolidinium hydroxide in an aqueous solution, which can dissolve up to 20 wt% cellulose within a short time at room temperature. In this study, we employed this solvent system and investigated the gelation behavior of cellulose after crosslinker addition. The swelling behavior in water (swelling ratio, water uptake), the mechanical properties under compression, and the antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis were investigated. We have developed a simple and fast one-pot method for the preparation of cellulose gels, in which aqueous pyrrolidinium hydroxide solution was acting as the solvent and as an antibacterial reagent. The pyrrolidinium hydroxide content of the gels was controlled by adjustment of the water volume employed for swelling. Simple recovery of the solvent system was also possible, which makes this preparation method environmentally benign.

A One-Pot Synthesis and Characterization of Antibacterial Silver Nanoparticle-Cellulose Film.

Project description:Using N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc) as a reducing agent in the presence of PVP-K30, the stable silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) solution was prepared by a convenient method for the in situ reduction of silver nitrate. The cellulose-Ag-NPs composite film (CANF) was cast in the same container using lithium chloride (LiCl) giving the Ag-NPs-PVP/DMAc solution cellulose solubility as well as ?-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane (MPTS) to couple Ag-NPs and cellulose. The results showed that the Ag-NPs were uniformly dispersed in solution, and the solution had strong antibacterial activities. It was found that the one-pot synthesis allowed the growth of and cross-linking with cellulose processes of Ag-NPs conducted simultaneously. Approximately 61% of Ag-NPs was successfully loaded in CANF, and Ag-NPs were uniformly dispersed in the surface and internal of the composite film. The composite film exhibited good tensile properties (tensile strength could reach up to 86.4 MPa), transparency (light transmittance exceeds 70%), thermal stability, and remarkable antibacterial activities. The sterilization effect of CANF0.04 against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli exceed 99.9%. Due to low residual LiCl/DMAc and low diffusion of Ag-NPs, the composite film may have potential for applications in food packaging and bacterial barrier.

The role of urea in the solubility of cellulose in aqueous quaternary ammonium hydroxide.

Project description:We examine the role of water and urea in cellulose solubility in tetrabutylammonium hydroxide (TBAH). Molecular dynamics simulations were performed for several different solvent compositions with a fixed cellulose fraction. For each composition, two simulations were carried out with cellulose fixed in each of the crystalline and the dissolved states. From the enthalpy and the entropy of the two states, the difference in Gibbs free energy (ΔG) and hence the spontaneity is determined. A comparison with solubility experiments showed a strong correlation between the calculated ΔG and the experimental measurements. A breakdown of the enthalpic and entropic contributions reveals the roles of water and urea in solubility. At high water concentration, a drop in solubility is attributed to both increased enthalpy and decreased entropy of dissolution. Water displaces strong IL-cellulose interactions for weaker water-cellulose interactions, resulting in an overall enthalpy increase. This is accompanied by a strong decrease in entropy, which is primarily attributed to both water and the entropy of mixing. Adding urea to TBAH(aq) increases solubility by an addition to the mixing term and by reducing losses in solvent entropy upon dissolution. In the absence of urea, the flexible [TBA]+ ions lose substantial degrees of freedom when they interact with cellulose. When urea is present, it partially replaces [TBA]+ and to a lesser extent OH- near cellulose, losing less entropy because of its rigid structure. This suggests that one way to boost the dissolving power of an ionic liquid is to limit the number of degrees of freedom from the outset.

Preparation of macroporous transition metal hydroxide monoliths via a sol-gel process accompanied by phase separation.

Project description:Three-dimensional transition metal hydroxide monoliths were facilely fabricated by a sol-gel process accompanied by phase separation in the presence of polyacrylic acid (PAA) and propylene oxide (PO). In the typical ZnCl2-PAA-PO system, PAA is used as a phase separation inducer as well as a framework former to control the phase separation and the formation of macrostructures, whereas PO works as a proton scavenger to initiate the gelation of the system and freeze the macrostructures. Appropriate amount of PAA, PO and solvents allow the formation of zinc (Zn) hydroxide monolith with cocontinuous skeletons and interconnected macropores, and the construction mechanism and characteristics of macrostructure are also investigated. The resultant dried gels are amorphous Zn hydroxide monolith with a narrow macropore size distribution (~1 μm). This approach is further used to successfully prepare macroporous single or binary composite transition metal hydroxide monoliths.

Bis(benzylamine) monomers: One-pot preparation and application in dendrimer scaffolds for removing pyrene from aqueous environments.

Project description:Bisimine and bisamine AB2 monomers have been synthesized from 3,5-diaminobenzoic acid and benzaldehyde derivatives without the need for protective groups or purification. This monomer preparation is universal for various electron-donating and electron-withdrawing benzaldehyde substrates. To demonstrate the versatility of these previously unreported AB2 monomers in the formation of high molecular weight structures, novel first-generation dendrimers and hybrid second-generation dendrimers have been synthesized. Using fluorescence spectroscopy, pyrene was shown to be removed from an aqueous environment upon exposure to thin dendrimer films, with the first-generation dendrimer removing 70% of the pyrene within 30 min and the hybrid second-generation dendrimers removing 38-52%. Inclusion formation constants were calculated to be on the order of 10(9)-10(11) M(-1) and are comparable to the values of previously reported macromolecules. These results illustrate that size may not influence pyrene removal as effectively as composition.

Photochemical Preparation of 1,2-Dihydro-3 H-indazol-3-ones in Aqueous Solvent at Room Temperature.

Project description:o-Nitrosobenzaldehyde is a reactive intermediate useful in the synthesis of nitrogen heterocycles. Previous strategies for using o-nitrosobenzaldehyde involve its isolation via chromatography and/or formation under harsh conditions. Herein, this intermediate was photochemically generated in situ from o-nitrobenzyl alcohols in a mild, efficient manner for the construction of 1,2-dihydro-3 H-indazol-3-ones using an aqueous solvent at room temperature. This convenient reaction offers several advantages over reported methods. The commercially available photoreactor employed 3 × 18 W bulbs outputting broad emission above 365 nm.

Preparation of a Novel Cellulose-Styrene Copolymer Adsorbent and Its Adsorption of Nitrobenzene from Aqueous Solutions.

Project description:A novel cellulose-styrene copolymer adsorbent (cellulose-St) was prepared using free radical polymerization. Successful polymerization was confirmed through Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Carbon 13 Solid Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (13C NMR) Spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), etc. Cellulose-St possessed good hydrophobicity, and the best water contact angle of cellulose-St samples could reach 146°. It had the ability of adsorption for nitrobenzene (NB), and the adsorption process could be well described by the pseudo-second-order (R2 > 0.99) and three-stage intraparticle diffusion (R2 > 0.99) kinetic models. Furthermore, the dynamic adsorption experiments revealed that cellulose-St had the potential for continuous separation of NB in water, and the breakthrough point for the initial NB concentration of 10 mg/L reached 1.275 L/g. Moreover, cellulose-St exhibited excellent environmental adaptability that it could maintain its hydrophobicity and adsorption ability for NB in strong acids, strong alkalis, or organic solvents. The used cellulose-St could be reused after washing with ethanol and keep almost constant adsorption capacity after ten cycles.

Protons and Hydroxide Ions in Aqueous Systems.

Project description:Understanding the structure and dynamics of water's constituent ions, proton and hydroxide, has been a subject of numerous experimental and theoretical studies over the last century. Besides their obvious importance in acid-base chemistry, these ions play an important role in numerous applications ranging from enzyme catalysis to environmental chemistry. Despite a long history of research, many fundamental issues regarding their properties continue to be an active area of research. Here, we provide a review of the experimental and theoretical advances made in the last several decades in understanding the structure, dynamics, and transport of the proton and hydroxide ions in different aqueous environments, ranging from water clusters to the bulk liquid and its interfaces with hydrophobic surfaces. The propensity of these ions to accumulate at hydrophobic surfaces has been a subject of intense debate, and we highlight the open issues and challenges in this area. Biological applications reviewed include proton transport along the hydration layer of various membranes and through channel proteins, problems that are at the core of cellular bioenergetics.

Simple One-Pot Syntheses and Characterizations of Free Fluoride- and Bifluoride-Containing Polymers Soluble in Non-Aqueous Solvents.

Project description:One of the problems that arise with bifluoride- or fluoride-containing compounds is their poor solubility in non-aqueous solvents. We report herein a facile one-pot synthesis and the chemical analysis of fluoride/bifluoride-containing polymers, which are soluble in MeCN. Different polymers, such as Polyvinylacetate or Polyethylene imine and saccharides, such as maltodextrin, were complexed with ammonium (bi)fluoride using hydrogen bonds to form the desired (bi)fluoride-containing compounds. The newly formed hydrogen bonding (bi)fluoride-doped polymer matrices were analyzed using infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopies, and X-ray diffraction. The promising materials also underwent impedance spectroscopy, conductivity measurements and preliminary tests as electrolytes for room temperature fluoride ion batteries along with an analysis of their performance.

Preparation and Characterization of Degradable Cellulose-Based Paper with Superhydrophobic, Antibacterial, and Barrier Properties for Food Packaging.

Project description:A great paradigm for foremost food packaging is to use renewable and biodegradable lignocellulose-based materials instead of plastic. Novel packages were successfully prepared from the cellulose paper by coating a mixture of polylactic acid (PLA) with cinnamaldehyde (CIN) as a barrier screen and nano silica-modified stearic acid (SA/SiO2) as a superhydrophobic layer. As comprehensively investigated by various tests, results showed that the as-prepared packages possessed excellent thermal stability attributed to inorganic SiO2 incorporation. The excellent film-forming characteristics of PLA improved the tensile strength of the manufactured papers (104.3 MPa) as compared to the original cellulose papers (70.50 MPa), enhanced by 47.94%. Benefiting from the rough nanostructure which was surface-modified by low surface energy SA, the contact angle of the composite papers attained 156.3°, owning superhydrophobic performance for various liquids. Moreover, the composite papers showed excellent gas, moisture, and oil bacteria barrier property as a result of the reinforcement by the functional coatings. The Cobb300s and WVP of the composite papers were reduced by 100% and 88.56%, respectively, and their antibacterial efficiency was about 100%. As the novel composite papers have remarkable thermal stability, tensile strength, and barrier property, they can be exploited as a potential candidate for eco-friendly, renewable, and biodegradable cellulose paper-based composites for the substitute of petroleum-derived packages.
