Zinc Sorption on Modified Waste Poly(methyl methacrylate).

ABSTRACT: The new one-pot hydrolysis-crosslinking reaction was used to synthesize a new, waste poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)-based material for zinc(II) ions removal. The alkaline hydrolysis of PMMA in diethylene glycol diethyl ether was used to obtain polymer matrix and it was then crosslinked with Ca and Mg ions to obtain the sorbent. As a result, the macroporous materials were obtained with a yield of 87% when waste PMMA was used, and about 95% when the commercial PMMAs were used. The degree of hydrolysis was similar, from 32% to 35%. New materials were then tested for their affinity towards zinc(II) ions. Two kinetic models (pseudo-first and pseudo-second order), as well as two isotherms (Langmuir and Freundlich), were used to describe the kinetics and equilibrium of zinc(II) ion sorption on the studied materials, respectively. All the prepared PMMA-based sorbents showed similar or higher sorption capacity (q up to 87.7 mg/g) compared to commercially available materials in a broad pH range (4-7). The study shows sorption was fast-above 80% of equilibrium capacity was achieved after ca. 0.5 h. Presented results show that waste PMMA may be an interesting raw material for the preparation of sorbents for zinc(II) ions removal.

Thermoresponsive Nanogels of Modified Poly((di(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate)-co-(2-aminoethyl methacrylate))s.

Project description:A series of copolymers of di(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (D) and 2-aminoethyl methacrylate (A) (P(D-co-A)) with variable ratios of comonomers were synthesized using atom transfer radical polymerization. Then, the amino groups of obtained copolymers were modified to clickable azide or prop-2-yn-1-yl carbamate groups. A thermoresponsive copolymers were obtained with the value of cloud point temperature (TCP) dependent on the type and number of functional groups in the copolymer and on the concentration of solutions. For P(D-co-A) copolymers, the TCP increased with increasing content of 2-aminoethyl methacrylate comonomer. The presence of azide and prop-2-yn-1-yl carbamate groups caused the changes of TCP of modified copolymers. All studied copolymers in dilute aqueous solutions aggregated above TCP to nanoparticles with sizes dependent on the solution concentration, heating procedures, and types and numbers of functional groups present in a copolymer chain. The presence of hydrophilic elements in the chain and the increase in the copolymer concentration led to the enlargement of the particle sizes. Aggregates were crosslinked using click reaction between an azide and prop-2-yn-1-yl carbamate groups that led to stable thermoresponsive nanogels. A systematic study of the behavior of copolymers allowed the determination of the chains useful for possible application in drug delivery.

Incorporation of surface-modified hydroxyapatite into poly(methyl methacrylate) to improve biological activity and bone ingrowth.

Project description:Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) is the most frequently used bone void filler in orthopedic surgery. However, the interface between the PMMA-based cement and adjacent bone tissue is typically weak as PMMA bone cement is inherently bioinert and not ideal for bone ingrowth. The present study aims to improve the affinity between the polymer and ceramic interphases. By surface modifying nano-sized hydroxyapatite (nHAP) with ethylene glycol and poly(ɛ-caprolactone) (PCL) sequentially via a two-step ring opening reaction, affinity was improved between the polymer and ceramic interphases of PCL-grafted ethylene glycol-HAP (gHAP) in PMMA. Due to better affinity, the compressive strength of gHAP/PMMA was significantly enhanced compared with nHAP/PMMA. Furthermore, PMMA with 20 wt.% gHAP promoted pre-osteoblast cell proliferation in vitro and showed the best osteogenic activity between the composites tested in vivo. Taken together, gHAP/PMMA not only improves the interfacial adhesion between the nanoparticles and cement, but also increases the biological activity and affinity between the osteoblast cells and PMMA composite cement. These results show that gHAP and its use in polymer/bioceramic composite has great potential to improve the functionality of PMMA cement.

Transparent Polymer Blends of Poly(methyl methacrylate) and Poly(propylene glycol).

Project description:Polymer blends, obtained by polymerization of methyl methacrylate in the presence of poly(propylene glycol), are investigated. Poly(propylene glycol) acts as a plasticizer, significantly lowering poly(methyl methacrylate)'s glass transition temperature and decreasing its elasticity modulus and yield stress. The mixture of methyl methacrylate with poly(propylene glycol) is more stable than its mixture with currently used poly(ethylene glycol), which leads to more uniform distribution and higher possible content of the plasticizer. Unlike low molecular weight plasticizers, poly(propylene glycol) is less prone to migration and exudation during manufacturing process and in use, and has low toxicity. Dynamic mechanical thermal analysis, compression testing and X-ray diffraction were used to investigate how the properties of the material depend on the content and molecular weight of the poly(propylene glycol) in the polymer blend. It was shown that the dependence of the glass transition temperature of methyl methacrylate polymerized in the presence of poly(propylene glycol) on the molar fraction of propylene glycol units is linear, and poly(propylene glycol) with lower molecular weight affects properties of the material stronger than poly(propylene glycol) with higher molecular weight. Therefore, the addition of poly(propylene glycol) allows to control the properties of poly(methyl methacrylate) easily and within wide range.

Inorganically modified particles FeAl-LDH@SiO<sub>2</sub> as reinforcement in poly (methyl) methacrylate matrix composite.

Project description:Silica particles were obtained from rice husk to which layered double hydroxide particles were deposited (weight ratio 1 : 1). Fe2+-Al3+ layered double hydroxides (FeAl-LDH) were synthesized by co-precipitation with ratios Fe : Al of 3 : 1 in the presence of SiO2 particles from the rice husk. Characterization of the synthesized FeAl-LDH@SiO2 particles was performed by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy with EDS. Prepared FeAl-LDH@SiO2 particles were used as reinforcing agents in 1, 3 and 5 wt% quantity in poly (methyl) methacrylate matrix. The aim of this study was to examine whether FeAl-LDH@SiO2 particles affect the mechanical properties of polymer composite materials. The morphology of the composites was examined using a field emission scanning electron microscope. Microindentation, tensile and impact testing determined the mechanical properties of the obtained composites.

Converting Poly(Methyl Methacrylate) into a Triple-Responsive Polymer.

Project description:Multiresponsive polymers that can respond to several external stimuli are promising materials for a manifold of applications. Herein, a facile method for the synthesis of triple-responsive (pH, temperature, CO2 ) poly(N,N-diethylaminoethyl methacrylamide) by a post-polymerization amidation of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) is presented. Combined with trivalent counterions ([Fe(CN)6 ]3- ) both an upper and lower critical solution temperature (UCST/LCST)-type phase behavior can be realized at pH?8 and 9. PMMA and PMMA-based block copolymers are readily accessible by living anionic and controlled radical polymerization techniques, which opens access to various responsive polymer architectures based on the developed functionalization method. This method can also be applied on melt-processed bulk PMMA samples to introduce functional, responsive moieties at the PMMA surface.

Highly Deformable, Ultrathin Large-Area Poly(methyl methacrylate) Films.

Project description:Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) is a glassy engineering polymer that finds extensive use in a number of applications. Over the past decade, thin films of PMMA were combined with graphene or other two-dimensional materials for applications in the area of nanotechnology. However, the effect of size upon the mechanical behavior of this thermoplastic polymer has not been fully examined. In this work, we adopted a homemade nanomechanical device to assess the yielding and fracture characteristics of freestanding, ultrathin (180-280 nm) PMMA films of a loaded area as large as 0.3 mm2. The measured values of Young's modulus and yield strength were found to be broadly similar to those measured in the bulk, but in contrast, all specimens exhibited a quite surprisingly high strain at failure (>20%). Detailed optical examination of the specimens during tensile loading showed clear evidence of craze development which however did not lead to premature fracture. This work may pave the way for the development of glassy thermoplastic films with high ductility at ambient temperatures.

Nanofibrillated Bacterial Cellulose Modified with (3-Aminopropyl)trimethoxysilane under Aqueous Conditions: Applications to Poly(methyl methacrylate) Fiber-Reinforced Nanocomposites.

Project description:The development of eco-friendly fiber-reinforced composite resins is an important objective from an environmental perspective, and nanofibrillated bacterial cellulose (NFBC), with extremely long high-aspect-ratio fibers, is a filler material with high potential for use in such composite resins. In this study, we investigated chemical modification of the surfaces of NFBC fibers by coupling with (3-aminopropyl)trimethoxysilane and fabricated nanocomposite materials using the prepared surface-modified NFBC. The product prepared by the one-pot reaction of (3-aminopropyl)trimethoxysilane with NFBC microfibrils dispersed in aqueous acid retained the same nanofibril structure as the intact NFBC. The degree of molar substitution and the silicon states on the surface of the product depended on the NFBC/(3-aminopropyl)trimethoxysilane ratio. The thermal analysis revealed that the thermal degradation temperature of the products increases with an increase of degree of molar substitution. Highly transparent (78-89% at 600 nm) poly(methyl methacrylate)-based nanocomposites were prepared by solvent casting; the nanocomposite containing 1.0 wt % (3-aminopropyl)trimethoxysilylated NFBC was only 8% less transparent than neat poly(methyl methacrylate) at 600 nm. In addition, the tensile strength of the nanocomposite was more than twice that of neat poly(methyl methacrylate) when 1 wt % of the surface-modified NFBC was added. The surface-modified NFBC is expected to be a reinforcing nanofiber material that imparts excellent physical properties to fiber-reinforced resins.

Sustaining Antibiotic Release from a Poly(methyl methacrylate) Bone-Spacer.

Project description:One of the challenges in using a bone-spacer to cure infection is the fabrication of a material that can continuously release required antibiotics at effective concentrations for at least 4-6 weeks. Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) impregnated with antibiotics is one of the popularly used bone-spacer materials. Currently, improved sustained release of hydrophobic and hydrophilic antibiotics is needed for this material. Here, hydrophilic vancomycin (VAN) was encapsulated into calcium citrate (CC) particles and natural rice granules, and hydrophobic erythromycin (ERY) was encapsulated into ethyl cellulose and poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) particles. The four antibiotic-loaded particles were each incorporated into the PMMA cement. The two unencapsulated drugs and all four drug-loaded particles distributed well in the obtained composites. PMMA composited with VAN-loaded CC showed prolonged VAN release at an effective concentration for more than 40 days, but the composite possessed lesser compressive strength than the PMMA with no drug. PMMA composited with unencapsulated ERY showed a better sustainment of drug release than those composited with encapsulated ERY. VAN elution from the VAN-CC-PMMA did not significantly affect the compressive strength of the material, whereas ERY elution from the ERY-PMMA composite significantly decreased the material's mechanical strength.

Electrospun Poly(methyl methacrylate)/TiO2 Composites for Photocatalytic Water Treatment.

Project description:Electrospinning was successfully used for the one-step fabrication of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) fibers loaded with an inorganic photocatalyst-titanium oxide (TiO2). By tuning the PMMA/TiO2 ratio and the electrospinning conditions (applied voltage, needle tip-to-collector distance, and flow rates), PMMA/TiO2 composites with selected organic/inorganic ratios, tailored designs, and targeted properties were obtained. The morphology of the electrospun composites was affected by the amount of TiO2 incorporated into the PMMA fibers. In addition, the inorganic photocatalyst had an impact on the wettability, thermal stability, and optical properties of the electrospun composites. In particular, the surface wettability of the composites was strongly influenced by UV light irradiation and from hydrophobic became superhydrophilic. Moreover, PMMA/TiO2 composites had enhanced tensile strength in comparison with those of bare PMMA mats. The electrospun PMMA/TiO2 composites showed excellent photocatalytic efficiency against the model organic pollutant-methylene blue-which is very promising for the future development of membranes that are highly efficacious for photocatalytic water treatment.
