Abstract

Hydrogel wound dressings were developed through cross-linking reactions of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) with glutaraldehyde and by the addition of diclofenac sodium and rutin as anti-inflammatory agents. Cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) were added to improve mechanically and release properties. CNC was isolated from pineapple leaf fibers through the ammonium persulfate method resulting in a mixture of rod-like whisker and spherical morphology. The mechanical properties of hydrogels are increasing with the addition of CNC. Hydrogels containing 8% CNC exhibited 7.266 N/mm2 tensile strength, 156.3% maximum strain, and 700.3 N/mm2 elastic modulus. Drug release tests containing sodium diclofenac were done by taking incubated phosphate buffer saline samples in a pH 7.4 environment and showed that all CNC variations tested are controllable for the first 30 min compared to the sample without CNC. Sodium diclofenac is easily eluted from hydrogel due to its polar properties, and all samples almost demonstrated the same release profile. PVA hydrogels showed fluctuating concentrations of diclofenac compared to others. While hydrogels containing rutin showed a controlled release mode, the addition of CNC in PVA resulted in a slower release of rutin, possibly due to the better binding between CNC and rutin. To conclude, CNC has successfully improved the performance of PVA hydrogels, including the drug release properties.

Abstract

Heavy metal contamination in open waters is one of the most urgent environmental problems that needs to be addressed. Pb(II) ion is a toxic heavy metal ion and is often found contaminating nature. Adsorption is one of the methods that is widely used to overcome heavy metal ion pollution such as Pb(II). One source of material that is low-cost, environmentally friendly, and readily available for use as an adsorbent is carrageenan. Carrageenan is an anionic polysaccharide and is a biopolymer that is widely found in the red algae Rhodophyceae. In this research, the adsorbent of κ-carrageenan beads made from food-grade κ-carrageenan cross-linked with K+ions was successfully made for the adsorption of Pb(II) ions which was confirmed using FTIR. The adsorbent swelling degree was 25.57% in aqua dm and 83.44% in 100 ppm Pb(II) solution. The results of the adsorption kinetics study show that adsorption follows a pseudo-second order kinetic model with a rate constant of 0.03399 g mg−1 min−1 and an adsorption capacity of 5.48 mg/g

Abstract

Methylene blue contamination in aquatic environments has become a global issue due to its widespread use in various industries. Methylene blue is a toxic, carcinogenic, and non-biodegradable dye. Adsorption can be employed as one method to mitigate this problem. The use of κ-carrageenan as an adsorbent offers an effective solution because κ-carrageenan is an abundant, easily obtainable, and economical biopolymer with promising adsorption performance. In this study, κ-carrageenan was cross-linked with K+ to form a hydrogel, which was then freeze-dried to produce a macroporous κ-carrageenan adsorbent. Characterization using FTIR confirmed the successful preparation of the adsorbent and the adsorption of methylene blue. SEM images showed changes in surface morphology, indicating successful adsorption. The adsorption process was optimum at pH 5, an adsorbent mass of 0.1 gram, and a contact time of 3 hours. Adsorption followed a pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the Langmuir isotherm model, with a maximum adsorption capacity, qmax of 128.7 mg/g at 328 K. Thermodynamic studies showed that the process was exothermic, became more disorder as a result of an increase in entropy, and occurred spontaneously. These results demonstrate that freeze-dried κ-carrageenan adsorbent has the potential for development in sustainable wastewater treatment technology.

Abstract

A dummy-template molecularly imprinted polymer (DMIP) was synthesized via precipitation polymerization using anthrone as a template analog for the selective analysis of low-molecular-weight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), specifically fluorene and phenanthrene. Styrene, benzoyl peroxide, and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate were employed as the functional monomer, radical initiator, and crosslinking agent, respectively. The synthesized polymers were characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and particle size analysis. The imprinting factors were 1.16 and 1.09 for fluorene and phenanthrene, respectively, indicating enhanced affinity of the imprinted sites. High-performance liquid chromatography analysis following DMIP-based solid-phase extraction yielded recoveries of 91.49% ± 3.87% for fluorene and 97.25% ± 2.85% for phenanthrene, demonstrating the DMIP’s potential as an efficient sorbent for selective extraction and quantification of low-molecular-weight PAHs in simulated river water.

Abstract

Gelatin is widely used in the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. The demand for gelatin is increasing every year, specifically gelatin from pork and beef is the main source of gelatin on the market. Gelatin from fish has become a better prospect to be developed, yet the manufacture of gelatin using organic materials has not been widely used. One of the natural ingredients that can be used in the manufacture of gelatin is from pineapple skin. Pineapple is one of the fruits that contain acids including citric acid and bromelain enzymes which have a high ability to convert collagen protein into gelatin. In this study, a characterization of the gelatin quality of catfish (Pangasius hypopthalmus) bones was carried out which was soaked with pineapple waste liquid with a time difference of 6 hours (P1), 12 hours (P2), and 24 hours (P3). The quality characteristics of gelatin include proximate characteristics, physicochemical characteristics and identification of functional groups using Fourier Transform Infra Red (FTIR) spectrophotometry. The results of this study indicate the percent yield of each of the results of the immersion P1, P2, and P3 that are 0.36%; 0.42% and 0.71%, the results of the water content are 12.20%,; 15.91%, and 12.08%, the results of the ash content are 34.38%,; 30.03%; and 30.00%, protein content are 32.59%; 20.57%, and 23.99%, the pH results are 5.80; 4.71; and 4.77, the viscosity results are 0.959cP, 0.997 cP, and 0.972 cP, respectively. Based on the FTIR spectrum, the functional groups of catfish bone gelatin that can be identified include the O-H, N-H, C-N, C=O, C-H groups. From the results obtained, it can be concluded that the bone gelatin of catfish (Pangasius hypopthalmus) has not fully met the quality standard of gelatin.
