Abstract

Hydroxyapatite is an inorganic material that is commonly used as a re-mineralizing agent. Adding natural ingredients such as green betel leaf can increase the antibacterial properties due to the presence of phenolic compounds, flavonoids, and tannins. This study aims to determine the physical and chemical characteristics of the formulation of hydroxyapatite-betel leaf extract and the antibacterial activity against Streptococcus mutans. To characterize the combination of hydroxyapatite-betel leaf extract, XRD, PSA and FTIR analyses were performed. Particle size analysis showed the smallest results in the variation of betel 0.3 g, which is 690.08 nm. FTIR characterization showed the presence of OH, PO43− and CO32− functional groups from hydroxyapatite and C=O derived from betel leaf extract. In addition, in vitro and in vivo analyses were performed to assess the antibacterial activity of this formulation. The in vitro antibacterial activity test against S. mutans showed strong inhibitory activity. Our finding suggests that the formulation has the potential to be used as a medication or prevention agent for dental caries.

Abstract

The stability characteristics associated with the shelf life of a biosensor are rarely investigated, however, they are important factors for real applications. Stability is the variation in the detection signal over a long period of storage. This study aims to determine the effect of storage time on the stability of SARS-CoV-2 receptor binding domain (RBD) spike protein aptamers related to shelf life and the performance of an electrochemical aptasensor on clinical samples. The research method includes a stability study conducted using the accelerated stability method based on the Arrhenius equation at three variations of temperature and storage time. The electrochemical aptasensor's performance was evaluated on clinical samples of 32 nasopharyngeal swabs at biosafety level 3 and its potential on clinical saliva samples. The results indicated that the developed electrochemical aptasensor was stable for ± 15 days with a shelf life of 18, 17 and 16 days, respectively, at 25, 40 and 50 °C. This electrochemical aptasensor has the potential to be a Point of Care (POC) device for the clinical detection of SARS-CoV-2 because it can be tested on clinical samples of nasopharyngeal swabs and the results show its potential application to detect in clinical saliva samples.

Abstract

In the ozonation process, the phenol degradation in wastewater undergoes a low mass transfer mechanism. In this study, ozonized packed bubble column reactor was designed and constructed to remove phenol. The reactor’s inner diameter and height were 150 and 8 cm, respectively. The packing height was kept constant at 1 m in accordance with the reactor hydrodynamics. The gas distributor was designed with 55 holes of 0.5 mm. The phenol removal efficiency was evaluated at ozone concentrations of 10, 15, and 20 mg/L, contact times of 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, 105, and 120 min, and phenol concentrations of 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15 mg/L. The results indicated that the highest phenol removal efficiency of 100% was achieved at 30 min in presence of packing. Moreover, the use of packing improved the contact between the gas and liquid, which significantly enhanced the phenol degradation. Actually, a thin film over a packing surface enhances the mass transfer. Also, it was found that the phenol is degraded into CO2 and H2O through a series of reaction steps. Additionally, a kinetic study of a first-order reaction provided an efficient estimation of reaction parameters with a correlation factor of 0.997.

Abstract

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are fascinating materials for biomedical applications thanks to their strong antibacterial activity and biocompatibility. This study applied the green synthesis method using 0.5 wt.% Seminyak leaf extract and assisted with one min microwave irradiation to enhance AgNPs formation. Extremely small sizes AgNPs with an average particle size of 9.1 ± 4.1 nm and spherical shapes were obtained. The synthesized AgNPs displayed potent antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria with a zone of inhibition of 12.3 ± 0.1 and 13.7 ± 0.7 mm, respectively. The MTT assay results demonstrated that the cells’ viability of the obtained AgNPs was 88.5 ± 7.0 %, implying biocompatibility for biomedical applications.

Abstract

Electrocatalytic parameters of a Pt/C standard and a sample of terbium(III) monoporphyrinato were investigated in different solutions. N electron transfer, Tafel slope, Eonset, and overpotential of the catalyst of Pt/C in different solutions were calculated and analyzed using a rotating ring disk electrode (RRDE) in 0.5 M H2SO4, 0.1 M HClO4 and 0.1 M NaOH. In the RRDE measurements, a bipotentiostat at a potential range of 1.03 to 0.05 V vs RHE (Ering = 1.2 V vs RHE) with a scan rate of 5 mV/s and rotation rates of 200, 400, 900, 1600 and 2500 rpm was used. Hereafter, the test of terbium(III) monoporphyrinato compound formulated in [Tb(TPP)(cyclen)]Cl (TPP = 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrinato; cyclen = 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane) as a candidate material for ORR electrocatalyst was also done. The results showed that the measurement of Pt/C standards was satisfactory according to the literature for all parameters with the n electron transfer close to 4 in all electrolytes media. [Tb(TPP)(cyclen)]Cl had an n electron transfer value of 2.38, suggesting that the [Tb(TPP)(cyclen)]Cl compound has less potential for ORR catalysts.

Abstract

Synthesis and characterization of copper-and-nitrogen-codoped zirconium titanate (Cu-N-ZrTiO4) as a photocatalyst for the degradation of methylene blue (MB) have been conducted. The main purpose of this research was to investigate the co-doping effect of copper and nitrogen dopants in ZrTiO4 as a photocatalyst for the photodegradation of MB. Titanium-(IV) tetraisopropoxide (TTIP) was dissolved into ethanol and mixed with aqueous zirconia (ZrO2) suspension containing 10% nitrogen (N) (w/w to Ti) from urea and various amount of copper as dopants. The calcination was performed at temperatures of 500, 700, and 900 °C. The composites were characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer (FTIR), X-ray diffractometer (XRD), scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray (SEM-EDX) mapping, and specular reflectance UV-Visible spectrophotometer (SRUV-Vis). The degradation of 4 mg L−1 MB solution was conducted for various irradiation times. Characterization shows a significant decrease of the ZrTiO4 band gap from 3.09 to 2.65 eV, which was given by the composite with the addition of 4% Cu and calcination of 900 °C. Cu-N-ZrTiO4 composite can degrade MB solution up to 83% after 120 min under the irradiation of visible light.

Abstract

This research studied the impact of silanized clay modification on performance and antifouling Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) membrane toward humic acid and methylene blue filtration. Clay modification was carried out by using 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APS) to produce modified clay (Clay-APS). Hybrid membranes were prepared by phase inversion for humic acid and methylene blue filtration. Hybrid membranes were characterized by measuring surface hydrophilicity, water flux, rejection, and antifouling properties. Clay and Clay-APS modification increased hybrid membrane surface hydrophilicity, as indicated by increasing the β fraction and decreasing the water contact angle. The PVDF/Clay and PVDF/Clay-APS hybrid membranes showed high permeability and selectivity with the highest water flux values of 24.2 L m−2 h−1. The rejections for humic acid and methylene blue were 98.8 and 99.3%, respectively. The highest antifouling property was obtained from the PVDF/Clay-APS hybrid membrane, with a flux recovery ratio was 96.0%. The PVDF/Clay hybrid membrane performance and antifouling properties showed that the membranes have the potential for water treatment.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effect of soft template variations on Zinc Sulfate Hydrate (Gunningite) synthesis and the maximum adsorption capacity of ibuprofen. This study employed the soft template method and hydrothermal at 100 °C, followed by calcination at 550 °C. Here, ZnSO4 heptahydrate was used as the precursor for different templates. XRD analysis exhibited that the crystal sizes of Gunningite-F127G, Gunningite-F127, Gunningite-P123G, Gunningite-P123, and Gunningite-G were 18.35; 25.33; 25.67; 27.30; and 24.24 nm with crystallinity degrees of 36.89; 42.62; 46.83; 41.27; and 40.62%, respectively. FTIR examination indicated that the five samples contained functional groups of OH stretching at 3170 cm–1, Zn-O-Zn at 1637 cm–1, Zn-S=O symmetric and asymmetric at 900 and 1056 cm–1, and Zn-O at 521 cm–1. Furthermore, SEM-EDX investigation revealed that the morphology of all Gunningite samples was inhomogeneous due to agglomeration. Besides that, the elemental compositions in the samples were dominated by Zn and O elements. The maximum adsorption capacity obtained from each sample was 221.1 mg/g (Gunningite-F127G); 226.06 mg/g (Gunningite-F127); 234.23 mg/g (Gunningite-P123G); 229.76 mg/g (Gunningite-P123); and 222.85 mg/g (Gunningite-G). Moreover, the Gunningite kinetic model of ibuprofen adsorption followed Ho and McKay's pseudo-second-order kinetic model.

Abstract

The influence of poly(2-dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate (PDMAEMA) block on the thermo- and pH-responsive behavior of poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide)-block-poly[(2-dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate)] (PNIPAM-b-PDMAEMA) was studied. The block copolymers were synthesized using reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization by varying the chain length of the second block (PDMAEMA). 1H-NMR and FTIR spectra confirmed the formation of block copolymers PNIPAM21-b-PDMAEMA2 and PNIPAM21-b-PDMAEMA7 with the corresponding molar masses from the GPC data. Thermo- and pH-responsive behavior of block copolymers was investigated in phosphate buffer with various pHs. Interesting results showed that the hydrophilic carboxyl end group and the hydrophobic dodecyl end group of the RAFT agent affected the resulting phase transition temperature (Tc), while the Tc was found to be low in the acidic environment. Moreover, larger particle sizes of PNIPAM21‑b‑PDMAEMA2 were found with a pH of 9. It is noteworthy, that the resulted block copolymers might have the potential use in a drug delivery system.

Abstract

Up to 60–70% of the total textile dyes produced are azo dyes. An example of azo dye is methylene blue, which is commonly used in dyeing wool, silk, and cotton. This substance possessed harmful effects on the environment. Therefore, the removal process is mandatory. The adsorption process is a common method for dye removal in wastewater. One innovation to increase adsorption efficiency even further is by reducing adsorbent particle size. To understand the effect of adsorbent particle size on the adsorption process, in this study, granular activated carbon (GAC) was pulverized into powder (PAC) and superfine powder (SPAC). Adsorbent characterizations, isotherm, kinetics, and thermodynamics tests were conducted. Based on this study, surface area, pore volume, and adsorption capacity were increased for smaller adsorbent particle sizes. Isotherm and kinetic analysis showed that there was no difference in the isotherm and kinetic models that applied to each activated carbon, but there was an increase in the isotherm and kinetic coefficient values at smaller particle sizes. Meanwhile, based on the thermodynamic test, there were differences in the dominant adsorption mechanism for each activated carbon. In GAC and SPAC, the dominant adsorption mechanism was electrostatic interactions, while in PAC was van der Waals forces.
