Preparation of modified polysulfone material decorated by sulfonated citric chitosan for haemodialysis and its haemocompatibility.

ABSTRACT: Polysulfone (PSF) works potentially in haemodialysis due to its great mechanical and chemical stability, but performs poorly in haemocompatibility. For promoting the unpleasant haemocompatibility, sulfonated citric chitosan (SCACS) with the structure and groups similar to heparin was primarily synthesized by acylation and sulfonation. Furthermore, the chloroacylated PSF was pretreated by electrophilic chloroacetyl chloride to achieve more active sites for further reaction; the following membranes underwent the amination and were named amination polysulfone (AMPSF) membranes. Moreover, SCACS with abundant carboxyl and sulfonic groups was covalently grafted at the surface of pretreated PSF membranes, called PSF-SCACS membranes. The PSF-SCACS membranes were successfully synthesized and characterized by ¹H NMR, ATR-FTIR and XPS. In addition, the water contact angle of PSF-SCACS membranes decreased by 47° and the morphologies of the membranes changed little compared with the unmodified PSF membranes. The haemocompatible testing results, including protein adsorption, platelet adhesion, haemolysis rate, plasma recalcification time, activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), prothrombin time (PT) and thrombin time (TT), demonstrated that the PSF-SCACS membranes possessed excellent haemocompatible performances, and SCACS played an important role in the modification.

Haemocompatibility of Modified Nanodiamonds.

Project description:This study reports the interactions of modified nanodiamond particles in vitro with human blood. Modifications performed on the nanodiamond particles include oxygenation with a chemical method and hydrogenation upon chemical vapor deposition (CVD) plasma treatment. Such nanodiamonds were later incubated in whole human blood for different time intervals, ranging from 5 min to 5 h. The morphology of red blood cells was assessed along with spectral measurements and determination of haemolysis. The results showed that no more than 3% of cells were affected by the nanodiamonds. Specific modifications of the nanodiamonds give us the possibility to obtain nanoparticles which are biocompatible with human blood. They can form a basis for the development of nanoscale biomarkers and parts of sensing systems and devices useful in biomedical environments.

Vanillin decorated chitosan as electrode material for sustainable energy storage.

Project description:Energy storage materials made from bioresources are crucial to fulfil the need for truly sustainable energy storage. In this work, vanillin, being a lignin-derived molecule, is coupled to chitosan, a biobased polymer backbone, and used as a redox active electrode material. The structure of those electrodes is highly defined, leading to better product security than in lignin based electrodes, which have been presented as sustainable electrodes in the past. With over 60% of saccharide units in chitosan functionalised by vanillin, the concentration of redox functionalities in the copolymer is significantly higher than in lignin materials. Composites with carbon black require no further binders or additives to be used as electrode material and show reversible charge storage up to 80 mA h g-1 (respective to the total electrode material) and good stability. Consequently, these electrodes are amongst the best performing electrodes made from regrown organic matter.

The adenine-modified edible chitosan films containing choline chloride and citric acid mixture.

Project description:A series of biopolymeric chitosan-based (Ch) films were prepared with choline chloride and citric acid plasticizer (deep eutectic solvent, DES). An effect of adenine (A, vitamin B4) addition on the functional properties of these films was evaluated. Several physicochemical and mechanical properties were tested: Fourier-transformed infrared spectra proved DES's plasticizing and crosslinking effect, while scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy techniques confirmed the possible phase separation after adenine addition. These changes affected the mechanical characteristics and the water vapor and oxygen permeability. The prepared materials are not water soluble because the CA acts as a crosslinker. The adenine addition on antioxidative and antimicrobial properties was also checked. It was found that Ch-DES materials with A exhibit improved antioxidative properties (55.8-66.1% of H2O2 scavenging activity) in contrast to the pristine chitosan-DES material (51.1% of H2O2 scavenging activity), while the material is still non-mutagenic (lack of growth of Salmonella typhimurium) and possesses antimicrobial features (no E. coli observed for all the tested films and inhibition zones noted for S. aureus). The mentioned properties, reduced oxygen transmission (1.6-2.1 g m-2 h-1), and mechanical characteristics within the range of typical food packaging plastics proved the potential of Ch-DES-A films in the packaging sector. Moreover, the antioxidative properties, usage of substrates being allowed as food additives, and the presence of adenine create the advantage of the Ch-DES-A materials as edible coatings, being also a source of Vitamin B4.

Sulfonated Polysulfone/TiO2(B) Nanowires Composite Membranes as Polymer Electrolytes in Fuel Cells.

Project description:New proton conducting membranes based on sulfonated polysulfone (sPSU) reinforced with TiO2(B) nanowires (1, 2, 5 and 10 wt.%) were synthesized and characterized. TiO2(B) nanowires were synthesized by means of a hydrothermal method by mixing TiO2 precursor in aqueous solution of NaOH as solvent. The presence of the TiO2(B) nanowires into the polymer were confirmed by means of Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy, Fourier transform infrared and X-ray diffraction. The thermal study showed an increase of almost 20 °C in the maximum temperature of sPSU backbone decomposition due to the presence of 10 wt.% TiO2(B) nanowires. Water uptake also is improved with the presence of hydrophilic TiO2(B) nanowires. Proton conductivity of sPSU with 10 wt.% TiO2(B) nanowires was 21 mS cm-1 (at 85 °C and 100% RH). Under these experimental conditions the power density was 350 mW cm-2 similar to the value obtained for Nafion 117. Considering all these obtained results, the composite membrane doped with 10 wt.% TiO2(B) nanowires is a promising candidate as proton exchange electrolyte in fuel cells (PEMFCs), especially those operating at high temperatures.

Optimized preparation and performance evaluation of a bifunctional chitosan-modified flocculant.

Project description:In view of the diversification of pollutants in current sewage, further improving the application efficiency of water treatment agents and realizing multi-functionalization are important directions for the research of water treatment agents. In this paper, on the basis of the natural polymer flocculant chitosan, MAPTAC and AM were used as modified monomers to improve its solubility and also enhance its flocculation and bactericidal properties. Furthermore, the preparation conditions of chitosan flocculant poly(CTS-g-AM-MAPTAC) were optimized by response surface methodology, and its flocculation and sterilization functions were evaluated in detail. The experimental results showed that the significance order of the factors in the preparation process was illumination time, mass ratio of total monomer to chitosan, molar ratio of monomers, and initiator concentration. The optimum conditions for preparing poly(CTS-g-AM-MAPTAC) were 6 moL L-1 for initiator concentration, 4 for mass ratio of total monomer to chitosan, 25% for monomer molar ratio, and 60 min for illumination time. The intrinsic viscosity and grafting rate of poly(CTS-g-AM-MAPTAC) prepared under optimum conditions were 5.4965 dL g-1 and 220.34%. The obtained poly(CTS-g-AM-MAPTAC) had good solubility, which could fully expose the active sites in wastewater with different acidity and had good flocculation effect. The performance evaluation results showed that the flocculant had a good combination of flocculation and sterilization, and had the advantages of high turbidity removal and sterilization efficiency, good biodegradability and low reagent consumption.

Preparation of Modified Chitosan Microsphere-Supported Copper Catalysts for the Borylation of ?,?-Unsaturated Compounds.

Project description:Chitosan microspheres modified by 2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde were prepared and used in the construction of a heterogeneous catalyst loaded with nano-Cu prepared by a reduction reaction. The chemical structure of the catalyst was investigated by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). Under mild conditions, such as no ligand at room temperature, the catalyst was successfully applied to catalyze the borylation of ?,?-unsaturated receptors in a water-methanol medium, yielding 17%-100% of the corresponding ?-hydroxy product. Even after repeated use five times, the catalyst still exhibited excellent catalytic activity.

Facile Preparation of β-Cyclodextrin-Modified Polysulfone Membrane for Low-Density Lipoprotein Adsorption via Dopamine Self-Assembly and Schiff Base Reaction.

Project description:A facile method for the immobilization of β-cyclodextrin on polysulfone membranes with the aim of selectively adsorbing low-density lipoprotein (LDL) was established, which is based on the self-assembly of dopamine on the membrane followed by the Schiff base reaction with mono-(6-ethanediamine-6-deoxy)-β-cyclodextrin. The surface modification processes were validated using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and attenuated total reflectance Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. Surface wettability and surface charge of the membranes were investigated through the water contact angle and zeta potential analysis. The cyclodextrin-modified polysulfone membrane (PSF-CD) showed good resistance to protein solutions, as shown by the measurement of BSA adsorption. The assessment of BSA adsorption revealed that the cyclodextrin-modified polysulfone membrane (PSF-CD) exhibited excellent resistance to protein solutions. To investigate the adsorption and desorption behaviors of the membranes in single-protein or binary-protein solutions, an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was employed. The results revealed that the PSF-CD possessed remarkable adsorption capacity and higher affinity for LDL in both single-protein and binary-protein solutions, rendering it a suitable material for LDL apheresis.

Citric Acid Enhanced Copper Removal by a Novel Multi-amines Decorated Resin.

Project description:Cu removal by a novel multi-amines decorated resin (PAMD) from wastewater in the absence or presence of citric acid (CA) was examined. Adsorption capacity of Cu onto PAMD markedly increased by 186% to 5.07 mmol/g in the presence of CA, up to 7 times of that onto four commercial resins under the same conditions. Preloaded and kinetic studies demonstrated adsorption of [Cu-CA] complex instead of CA site-bridging and variations of adsorbate species were qualitatively illustrated. The interaction configuration was further studied with ESI-MS, FTIR, XPS and XANES characterizations. The large enhancement of Cu adsorption in Cu-CA bi-solutes systems was attributed to mechanism change from single-site to dual-sites interaction in which cationic or neutral Cu species (Cu(2+) and CuHL(0)) coordinated with neutral amine sites and anionic complex species (CuL(-) and Cu2L2(2-)) directly interacted with protonated amine sites via electrostatic attraction, and the ratio of the two interactions was approximately 0.5 for the equimolar bi-solutes system. Moreover, commonly coexisting ions in wastewaters had no obvious effect on the superior performance of PAMD. Also, Cu and CA could be recovered completely with HCl. Therefore, PAMD has a great potential to efficiently remove heavy metal ions from wastewaters in the presence of organic acids.

Preparation and Characterization of Films Extruded of Polyethylene/Chitosan Modified with Poly(lactic acid).

Project description:The use of mixtures of synthetic and natural polymers is a potential option to reduce the pollution by plastic waste. In this work, the method for the chemical modification of chitosan with poly(lactic acid) was developed; then, the preparation of films of blends of polyethylene and chitosan-poly(lactic acid) produced by an extrusion method using polyethylene-graft maleic anhydride as a compatibilizer. It was possible to obtain films with a maximum content of 20 wt% and 30 wt%, chitosan, with and without compatibilizer, respectively. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis showed a homogeneous surface on all films. The addition of the compatibilizer had a significant effect on the mechanical properties of the films, such as an increase in Young's modulus and a decrease in the elongation at break; additionally, the compatibilizer promotes thermal degradation in a single step and gives the film a slight increase in thermal resistance. These results are attributed to an improved interaction in the interface of polyethylene and chitosan-poly(lactic acid), promoted by the compatibilizer.
