Efficient extraction of textile dyes using reusable acrylic-based smart polymers

Water pollution from industrial or household waste, containing dyes from the textile industry, poses a significant environmental challenge requiring immediate attention. In this study, we have developed a crosslinked-smart-polymer film based on 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate copolymerized with other hydrophilic and hydrophobic commercial monomers, and its efficacy in removing 21 different textile dyes was assessed. The smart polymer effectively interacts with and adsorbs dyes, inducing a noticeable colour change. UV-Vis spectroscopy analysis confirmed a removal efficiency exceeding 90 % for anionic dyes, with external diffusion identified as the primary influencing factor on process kinetics, consistent with both pseudo-first-order kinetics and the Crank-Dual model. Isothermal studies revealed distinct adsorption behaviors, with indigo carmine adhering to a Freundlich isotherm while others conformed to the Langmuir model. Permeation and fluorescence analyses corroborated isotherm observations, verifying surface adsorption. Significantly, our proof-of-concept demonstrated the resilience of the smart-film to common fabric softeners and detergents without compromising adsorption capacity. Additionally, the material exhibited reusability (for at least 5 cycles), durability, and good thermal and mechanical properties, with T5 and T10 values of 265 °C and 342 °C, respectively, a Tg of 168 °C, and a water swelling percentage of 54.3 %, thus confirming its stability and suitability for industrial application. Environmental implicationDyes released during laundry processes should be classified as "hazardous materials" owing to their significant toxicity towards aquatic organisms, with the potential to disrupt ecosystems and harm aquatic biodiversity. This paper discusses the development of a novel acrylic material in film form, engineered to extract toxic anionic dyes. This study directly contributes to mitigating the environmental impact associated with the fashion industry and the domestic use of textiles. It can be implemented on both an industrial and personal scale, thereby encouraging more sustainable practices and promoting collaborative citizen science efforts towards

Wear properties of acrylic dental material 3D printed via digital light processing: Influence of process settings

The digital light processing (DLP) is one of the additive manufacturing methods, renowned for its precision and efficiency, with wide-ranging applications, notably in dentistry. Recent advancements in photocurable resins and DLP technologies have profoundly influenced dentistry. Despite their common clinical use, some resins lack comprehensive empirical studies on their mechanical and wear properties. In addition, analyzing the wear resistance of dental materials manufactured via additive manufacturing is imperative for ensuring their prolonged durability and dependability within authentic oral settings. Profound comprehension of the manner in which these materials withstand abrasive forces ensures their capability to withstand the mechanical strains imposed by chewing and brushing activities, thereby preserving their structural robustness and functional efficacy. The aims of this research are to investigate the effect of DLP process parameter setting, including: layer thickness, exposure time, and light intensity, on the wear resistance of acrylate dental materials. Using a pin-on-disc apparatus, wear tests were conducted. A steel pin, with a diameter of 5 mm, moved linearly over the specimen surface under the speed of 15 m/min and applying a force of 20 N. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was employed to examine the worn surface and wear mechanisms. Additionally, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was utilized to assess parameter effects and correlations. The findings indicate that parameter configurations exert a considerable influence on wear resistance and represent a cost-effective avenue for enhancing the wear resistance of components produced through additive manufacturing. The results revealed a direct correlation between resin curing and wear resistance, with inadequate or excessive curing leading to increased wear rates. The samples with a layer thickness of 25 µm, exposure time of 7.2 s, and light intensity of 160 W/m2, exhibited the lowest wear rate (11 × 10−2 mm3/min). Conversely, samples with a layer thickness of 100 µm, exposure time of 2.8 s and light intensity of 160 W/m2, demonstrated the highest wear rate (55 × 10−2 mm3/min). Additionally, the analysis of variance confirmed correlations between parameters, noting a negative correlation between intensity and time parameters, and positive correlations among other inter-parameter correlations.

Zwitterionic sulfobetaine methacrylate (SBMA) coating on hydrophobic acrylic intraocular lens material to prevent the adhesion of lens epithelial cells: Effect of SBMA concentration

Posterior capsular opacification (PCO), known as a prevalent complication of cataract surgery, occurs because of the attachment and abnormal proliferation of remaining lens epithelial cells (LECs) after cataract surgery. To reduce the PCO occurrence by improving cell adhesion resistance, we attempted zwitterionic sulfobetaine methacrylate (SBMA) coating through ultraviolet-induced graft polymerization on the surfaces of intraocular lens (IOL) materials. In this study, the effect of the concentration of SBMA monomers in the coating solutions adjusted from 10 wt% to 30 wt% was investigated on the chemical composition, morphology, and hydrophilicity of the IOL material surfaces modified with SBMA. Additionally, the effect of SBMA concentration on preventing adhesion to protein and LECs on the surfaces of SBMA-modified IOL materials was evaluated in vitro. Grafting of zwitterionic SBMA on the surfaces of hydrophobic acrylic IOL materials was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and water contact angle (WCA). To evaluate the long-term hydrophilicity of coating films prepared with different concentrations of SBMA on the IOL material surfaces, the WCA of IOL materials stored in phosphate-buffered saline solution was measured as a function of time. The coating film prepared at a concentration of 20 wt% of SBMA showed the lowest WCA after 28 days, showing the best long-term hydrophilicity. Also, that prepared at a concentration of 20 wt% of SBMA exhibited the highest anti-adhesion effect on proteins and LECs.

Analysis of the Surface Roughness of Different Denture Teeth Materials: A Quantitative In-Vitro Study.

The surface roughness of denture teeth materials significantly influences their clinical performance and patient satisfaction. Understanding the variations in surface roughness among different materials is crucial for optimizing denture fabrication processes. In this quantitative in-vitro study, three commonly used denture teeth materials, namely acrylic resin, composite resin, and porcelain, were evaluated for surface roughness. Twenty samples of each material were prepared and subjected to profilometric analysis. The surface roughness parameters Ra and Rz were measured using a contact profilometer. Statistical analysis was performed to compare the surface roughness among the different materials. The mean surface roughness (Ra) values were found to be 0.32 μm for acrylic resin, 0.25 μm for composite resin, and 0.18 μm for porcelain. Similarly, the mean Rz values were 2.45 μm for acrylic resin, 1.98 μm for composite resin, and 1.62 μm for porcelain. Statistical analysis revealed significant differences in surface roughness among the three materials (P < 0.05). Porcelain denture teeth exhibited the smoothest surface, followed by composite resin and acrylic resin. These findings suggest that material selection plays a crucial role in determining the surface roughness of denture teeth. Porcelain may offer superior aesthetics and reduced plaque accumulation compared with acrylic and composite resin materials. Clinicians should consider these differences when choosing denture materials to achieve optimal clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction.

Evaluation Mechanical Properties of Repaired Polyamide Dentures at Different Processing Techniques and Surface Treatment

Background: Polyamide denture base materials have gained prominence in dentistry due to their superior attributes compared to traditional acrylic materials. However, the susceptibility of polyamide dentures to fractures necessitates exploration of repair, replacement, and reinforcement methods. Effective denture rehabilitation requires enhancing tensile and transverse strength.Methods: This study utilized 160 acrylic resin samples. The control group included 40 specimens with and without fusing material integration, representing fractured and intact scenarios. The remaining 120 specimens underwent meticulous repair through three approaches: Reinjection nylon repair (RiNR), Recycling Manual heating (spruing) repair (RcNHR), and Manual heating nylon (NHR) repair, each with American and Russian fusing materials. Rigorous tensile and transverse strength evaluations were performed. Results: Techniques augmenting tensile and transverse strength (RcNHR, NHR, RiNR) were significantly effective compared to untreated fractures (C2) for both fusing materials. The control group (C1) consistently exhibited higher strength than C2. RiNR exhibited paramount strength, with American-treated RcNHR showing lower tensile strength, and Russian-treated NHR showing reduced transverse strength. Russian and American treatments showed no significant differences in RcNHR and RiNR, but differences emerged in NHR. Conclusion: Implementing flexible materials enhances polyamide denture strength. Reintegration through reinjection and manual heating with sprue-material yielded positive outcomes. RiNR achieved the highest strength. Russian and American treatments showed no notable differences in RcNHR and RiNR, with variations seen in NHR. This study suggests potential for refining mechanical properties and methodologies, advancing denture restoration practices.

Functional biocarbon-based coatings for wood protection and indoor air depollution

Growing concerns about indoor air pollution heighten the need to develop depolluting materials to achieve a healthy built environment. This study developed functional coatings for wooden surfaces using 20 wt% photocatalytic biocarbon particles doped with manganese oxide (BC–MnO2) and two different coating materials (linseed oil and waterborne acrylic). The samples' surface hydrophobicity and color properties were tested before and after accelerated aging. The depolluting potential of the samples was evaluated by formaldehyde removal efficiency test in indoor conditions. Results showed that adding BC-MnO2 particles increased the hydrophobicity regardless of the coating material's type. After accelerated aging, the hydrophobicity of all samples increased, which was attributed to the curing of the oil and acrylic polymers and the increase in surface roughness eventually caused by surface damage. The color change (ΔE) was more intense in the case of uncoated wood and samples without BC-MnO2. However, the BC-MnO2-containing coatings were effective in color preservation (ΔE < 2), which was attributed to the anti-UV property of biocarbon. The BC-MnO2-containing coatings exhibited a promising formaldehyde removal efficiency of up to 24 % and 46 % for oil and acrylic samples, respectively. The combination of BC-MnO2 and acrylic material was more favourable to attracting the formaldehyde molecules, likely due to the similar polarity. The developed functional coatings exhibited an acceptable ability for wood protection and formaldehyde remediation and can be potentially used to enhance indoor air quality.

Analyze photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue using TiO2 deposited onto conductive and non-conductive substrates under UV-C light

Abstract Degradation of methylene blue has been extensively studied by using TiO2 thin film as photocatalyst deposited onto non-conductive substrates. In this research, we proposed to utilize TiO2 thin film deposited onto conductive substrate, i.e., PCB. We compared concentration degradation between TiO2 thin film deposited onto conductive and non-conductive substrates. In this study, a photocatalysis process was carried out to decompose methylene blue pollutants. This research aims to obtain the performance of TiO2 photocatalyst coated with spray coating method on conductive and non-conductive substrates using UV-C light. This research begins with the manufacture of photocatalysis reactor, manufacture and coating of substrate, manufacture of methylene blue solution, concentration calculation. In this study, two types of thin layer substrates were made using the spray coating method. The first substrate is made using acrylic material as a non-conductive substrate, the second material uses a conductive substrate, PCB. The results shows that concentration of conductive and non-conductive substrates decreases 51% and 33,3 %, respectively. Therefore, conductive substrate may increase photocatalytic process. The use of substrates that are conductors can conduct electrons well, so that when interacting with TiO2, electrons generated by the photocatalysis process can move more easily. Acrylic and PCB materials are distinguished based on the ability to conduct electricity. Acrylic as an insulator and PCB acts as a conductor substrate.

Evaluating the effect of the addition of Nano-cellulose fibers on certain properties of heat-cured acrylic resin denture base material

Background Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) is the most often used polymer for denture bases because to its inexpensive cost, lightweight nature, insolubility in mouth fluid, outstanding cosmetic features, and ease of repairability. However, various limitations such as insufficient surface hardness, low strength, brittleness, weak flexural strength, poor impact strength, and low fatigue resistance have a detrimental impact on acrylic resins. Method This research examined the impact strength, transverse strength, surface hardness, surface roughness, and color stability of heat-cured acrylic denture base material after 0.5% and 1% by wt. CNFs were added. The cellulose nanofibers were combined with a PMMA monomer for 5 minutes in a probe sonicator. One group of samples was made without cellulose nanofibers in PMMA, while two groups were prepared with 0.5% and 1% CNFs by weight, and tests of the impact strength, transverse strength, surface hardness, surface roughness, and color stability of the samples were carried out. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, including the mean and standard deviation, and bar charts were used to visualize the results. Sample interactions and fiber dispersion were assessed using FTIR and FE-SEM. Results Compared to the control group, 0.5% by wt. and 1% by wt. CNF improved the impact and transverse strength substantially, while shore D surface hardness was not improved. Hue (a) and chroma (b) were substantially influenced by CNF at 0.5% by weight compared to the control group, although surface roughness and color value (L) were not. Surface roughness, color value (L), and color hue (a) were substantially impacted by 1% compared to the control group; however, color chroma (b) was not. Conclusions This research found that 0.5% and 1% by wt. CNF in PMMA resin increased the impact strength, transverse strength, surface hardness, surface roughness, color value, hue, and chroma of heat-cured polymethyl methacrylate denture base material.

Plasmonic Characterization of 3D Printable Metal-Polymer Nanocomposites.

Plasmonic polymer nanocomposites (i.e., polymer matrices containing plasmonic nanostructures) are appealing candidates for the development of manifold technological devices relying on light-matter interactions, provided that they have inherent properties and processing capabilities. The smart development of plasmonic nanocomposites requires in-depth optical analyses proving the material performance, along with correlative studies guiding the synthesis of tailored materials. Importantly, plasmon resonances emerging from metal nanoparticles affect the macroscopic optical response of the nanocomposite, leading to far- and near-field perturbations useful to address the optical activity of the material. We analyze the plasmonic behavior of two nanocomposites suitable for 3D printing, based on acrylic resin matrices loaded with Au or Ag nanoparticles. We compare experimental and computed UV-vis macroscopic spectra (far-field) with single-particle electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) analyses (near-field). We extended the calculations of Au and Ag plasmon-related resonances over different environments and nanoparticle sizes. Discrepancies between UV-vis and EELS are dependent on the interplay between the metal considered, the surrounding media, and the size of the nanoparticles. The study allows comparing in detail the plasmonic performance of Au- and Ag-polymer nanocomposites, whose plasmonic response is better addressed, accounting for their intended applications (i.e., whether they rely on far- or near-field interactions).

A Novel 3D High Resolution Imaging Method Using Correlative X-Ray and Electron Microscopy to Study Neodymium-Doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet Laser-Induced Defects in Intraocular Lenses.

Cataract extraction is the most frequently performed ophthalmological procedure worldwide. Posterior capsule opacification remains the most common consequence after cataract surgery and can lead to deterioration of the visual performance with cloudy, blurred vision and halo, glare effects. Neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) laser capsulotomy is the gold standard treatment and a very effective, safe and fast procedure in removing the cloudy posterior capsule. Damaging the intraocular lens (IOL) during the treatment may occur due to wrong focus of the laser beam. These YAG-pits may lead to a permanent impairment of the visual quality. In an experimental study, we intentionally induced YAG pits in hydrophilic and hydrophobic acrylic IOLs using a photodisruption laser with 2.6 mJ. This experimental study established a novel 3D imaging method using correlative X-ray and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to characterize these damages. By integrating the information obtained from both X-ray microscopy and SEM, a comprehensive picture of the materials structure and performance could be established. It could be revealed that although the exact same energies were used to all samples, the observed defects in the tested lenses showed severe differences in shape and depth. While YAG pits in hydrophilic samples range from 100 to 180 µm depth with a round shape tip, very sharp tipped defects up to 250 µm in depth were found in hydrophobic samples. In all samples, particles/fragments of the IOL material were found on the surface that were blasted out as a result of the laser shelling. Defects in hydrophilic and hydrophobic acrylic materials differ. Material particles can detach from the IOL and were found on the surface of the samples. The results of the laboratory study illustrate the importance of a precise and careful approach to Nd:YAG capsulotomy in order to avoid permanent damage to the IOL. The use of an appropriate contact glass and posterior offset setting to increase safety should be carried out routinely.

Design and fabrication of UASB-HCPB reactor assisted UF membrane for POME treatment to produce biogas

Anaerobic process is one of the biological wastewater treatment to produce biogas as renewable energy. Sludge is produced as the main characteristic of UASB (Up-flow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket) which distinguishes it from other anaerobic technologies to produce biogas. A new design of UASB-HCPB (Up-flow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket - Hollow Centered Packed Bed) is used to overcome operational problems in UASB. This research has designed, manufactured, and installed a UASB-HCPB bioreactor with a heating system. UASB-HCPB was designed and fabricated with acrylic material and caldnes used for HCPB. The bioreactor was filled with water to determine the working volume of the bioreactor. The peristaltic pump as the process pump was calibrated; the liquid volume was measured for a certain time span. The jacket heating system was simultaneously controlled with a controller to obtain the temperature of the bioreactor. The working volume of the bioreactor was 5.49 liters. A further modification of the POME treatment is the use of membranes. The membrane used is the cross flow membrane type. The combination of anaerobic bioreactor and the use of membrane can separate the solid biomass from the digester suspension and recycle it to the digester. In this study, biogas production with fresh POME will be carried out using a UASB-HCPB reactor with a combination of ultrafiltration membranes under mesophilic conditions.

Statistical analysis was performed using the computer program SPSS Statistics 20.0 (SPSS Inc. Chicago, IL, USA) at a 95% confidence interval and p=0.05 significance level. Three-way ANOVA and Tukey’s multiple comparison tests were used for the statistical analysis of data. Results: The analysis of variance determined that the material type and time had a very significant effect (p&lt;.001) on surface roughness and hardness values, while the solutions in which samples were kept had an insignificant effect (p&gt;.05). Conclusion: The surface roughness and hardness of acrylic resin and silicone-based soft lining materials were affected by denture cleaning solutions to different extents.

Effect of blade materials on the undershot water turbine performance

Undershot waterwheel at low flow with an average discharge of 0.12 m3/s and 613.2 W water horsepower are used to turn the waterwheel. The rotation results obtained with aluminum material is 24 RPM which has a density of 2.71 g/cm3 while the lowest rotation is owned by a galvanic of 20 RPM with a density of 7.49 g/cm3. From the experiment, it was found that the difference between the materials used was due to the different density. The efficiency of waterwheels with aluminum material has the highest value, namely 30%, while the lowest using acrylic material has an efficiency of 23%. For the highest generator efficiency using aluminum material with an efficiency of 4.2%, the second has an efficiency of 3.6% using Aluminum Composite Panel material. Aluminum has the highest efficiency because it has less density than galvanized. In addition, the thickness of aluminum is also very influential, where aluminum has a thickness of 1.14 mm while Galvanized has 0.98 mm.

Experimental and theoretical analysis of finely bedded porous rock models with internal cracks

The behavior of ultrasonic waves in synthetic rocks consisting of alternating layers of sand-based (porous and permeable) and acrylic (unporous) materials is investigated. Two synthetic layered media are created, one without cracks and the other with parallel cracks in one of the layers, to increase anisotropy and simulate a heterogeneous transversely isotropic medium with a vertical axis of symmetry. Microcomputed tomography is used to obtain images of the samples, which indicate that there are no bubbles present and that the layers are well connected without any gaps or breaks. The experiment uses ultrasonic measurements to determine the propagation of P and S waves, with transducers at frequencies of 100 kHz, 500 kHz, and 1 MHz for traveltime and waveform measurements. These three sources are chosen to verify the effective behavior of the samples, which depends on the relationship between the dominant wavelength of investigation and the layer thickness ([Formula: see text]). The measured velocities are compared with theoretical models based on Backus, Kennett (traditional models), and Backus (modified for cracked media by Schoenberg and Muir’s theory). The main finding is that the cracked medium exhibits at least twice as large a difference in behavior for P- and S-wave vertical velocities as a function of the number of layers compared with the uncracked medium.

Effect of different surface roughening treatment on polyether ether ketone and acrylic resin bonding: A pilot study.

As polyether ether ketone (PEEK) is a relatively new material in dentistry, its bonding properties with regard to dental acrylic base materials are not fully known. To ensure the long-term success of removable dentures with a PEEK framework, the base materials must be well bonded to each other. The study aimed to investigate the effects of different kinds of surface roughening treatment on PEEK and acrylic resin bonding. Eighty PEEK specimens (N = 80) were randomly divided into 5 groups (n = 16 per group) and subjected to various surface roughening treatment (control, grinding, sandblasting, tribochemical silica coating (CoJet), and sulfuric acid etching). Heat-polymerized acrylic resin was applied to the treated surfaces of the PEEK specimens. The shear bond strength (SBS) test, environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM) analysis and three-dimensional (3D) surface topography analysis were performed. The statistical analysis of the data was conducted using the analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey's multiple comparison test. The one-way ANOVA showed significant differences in the SBS values between the groups (p = 0.001). Sandblasting, tribochemical silica coating and sulfuric acid etching resulted in high SBS values (p = 0.001). The highest SBS values were observed in the sulfuric acid etching group (8.83 ±3.63 MPa), while the lowest SBS values were observed in the control group (3.33 ±2.50 MPa). The additional roughening treatment applied to the PEEK surface increases the bond strength with heat-polymerized acrylic resin.

Assessment of Adaptability and Linear Dimensional Changes of Two Heat Cure Denture Base Resin with Different Cooling Techniques: An In Vitro Study.

The current study was designed to assess the linear dimensional changes and adaptability of two heat-cured denture base resins using various cooling methods. To prepare a total of 90 acrylic resin samples (45 acrylic resin samples for each material), four rectangular stainless-steel plates measuring 25 × 25 × 10 mm were fabricated. For both groups, the material was put into the mold at the dough stage. Group I - SR Triplex Hot Heat Cure acrylic; group II - DPI Heat Cure acrylic. Both groups used the same curing procedure. One of the following three techniques was used to cool the material (15 samples from each material) once the curing cycle was finished: (A) water bath, (b) quenching, and (C) air. A traveling microscope was used to measure the distance between the markings on the acrylic samples. The data was recorded and statistically analyzed. In SR Triplex Hot heat cure acrylic material, the maximum linear dimensional changes were found in the quenching technique (0.242 ± 0.05), followed by the air technique (0.168 ± 0.11) and the least was found in the water bath technique (0.146 ± 0.01). In DPI Heat Cure acrylic material, the maximum linear dimensional changes were found in the quenching technique (0.284 ± 0.09), followed by the air technique (0.172 ± 0.18) and the least was found in the water bath technique (0.158 ± 0.10). There was a statistically significant difference found between these three cooling techniques. On comparison of adaptability, the water bath technique, the marginal gap SR Triplex Hot was 0.012 ± 0.02 and DPI Heat Cure was 0.013 ± 0.02. In the quenching technique, the marginal gap SR Triplex Hot was 0.019 ± 0.04 and DPI Heat Cure was 0.016 ± 0.04. In the air technique, the marginal gap SR Triplex Hot was 0.017 ± 0.01 and DPI Heat Cure was 0.019 ± 0.01. The present study concluded that among the different cooling methods, the water bath technique had the least linear dimensional change, followed by the air and quenching techniques. When comparing the materials, DPI Heat Cure acrylic resin showed a greater linear dimensional change than SR Triplex Hot heat cure acrylic resin. During polymerization, heat-cured acrylic resins experience dimensional changes. Shrinkage and expansion are dimensional changes that occur in heat-cured acrylic resins and have an impact on the occlusal relationship and denture fit. However, the denture base's material qualities and the different temperature variations it experiences during production may have an impact on this.
