Lignin-based pH-responsive nanocapsules were successfully fabricated via an interfacial miniemulsion polymerization. Lignin was first grafted with allyl groups through etherification and further dispersed in oil-in-water (O/W) system ultrasonication. Then allyl-functionalized lignin reacted a thiol-based cross-linking agent the interfaces of droplets to form thiol–ene radical reaction. The FTIR 1H NMR spectra indicated successful grafting on lignin. TEM images showed that had particle sizes...
Polymeric membrane design is a multidimensional process involving selection of materials and optimization fabrication conditions from an infinite candidate space. It impossible to explore the entire space by trial-and-error experimentation. Here, we present strategy utilizing machine learning-based Bayesian precisely identify optimal combinations unexplored monomers their We developed ML models accurately predict water permeability salt rejection monomer types (represented Morgan...
In this paper, we synthesized a biobased polyurethane using liquefied corn stover, isocyanate, and diethylenetriamine. The was used as coating material to control nitrogen (N) release from polymer-coated urea. A novel superabsorbent composite also formulated chicken feather protein (CFP), acrylic acid, N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide an outer for water retention. We studied the N characteristics water-retention capability of double-layer urea (DPCU) applied in both soils. ear yields, dry matter...
Abstract By mimicking natural lignin degradation systems, the Fenton catalyst (Fe 3+ , H 2 O ) can effectively facilitate depolymerization in supercritical ethanol (7 MPa, 250 °C) to give organic oils that consist of mono‐ and oligomeric aromatics, phenols, dicarboxylic acids, their derivatives yields up (66.0±8.5) %. The thermal properties, functional groups, surface chemistry before after treatment were examined by thermogravimetric analysis, pyrolysis–gas chromatography–mass spectrometry,...
Selective lignin depolymerization (SLD) has emerged as a value-added method of pretreatment for lignocellulosic biorefining, in which is depolymerized into valuable phenolic monomers prior to utilization the hemicellulose and cellulose. Herein, we report biomimetic Fenton catalyzed SLD process, converting sweet sorghum bagasse an organic oil that rich solid carbohydrate favorable enzymatic hydrolysis sugars. Initially, feedstock's molecular structure was modified through iron chelation free...
Self-healing materials have received increased attention because of their automatic detecting and repairing damage function. In this paper, a novel self-assembly self-healing bionanocomposite was developed as coating material for controlled release fertilizers. This nanotechnology-enabled is environmentally friendly highly efficient possesses tunable nutrient-releasing characteristic. the synthesis process, bio-based polyurethane coated urea (BPCU) prepared by reaction bio-polyols with...
Bio-based slow-release fertilizers (SRFs) have drawn significant attention because their applications for crop production can improve nutrient utilization efficiency as well prevent environmental pollution. However, current commercial SRFs still exhibit uncontrollable release patterns, use a large quantity of synthetic coating materials, and are unable to adapt complex soil conditions (e.g., arid soil). In this study, double-layer SRF was formulated from low-cost lignin–clay nanohybrid...
Abstract pH control has been essential for butanol production with Clostridium acetobutylicum . However, it is not very clear at what level the acid crash will occur, be dominant, and butyric prevailing. Furthermore, contradictory results have reported about required acidic conditions initiation of solventogenesis. In this study, aim further understanding role undissociated in production, we investigated correlation between concentration specific rate batch fermentation by comparing three...
Abstract: Chemotherapy has been widely used in breast cancer patients to reduce tumor size. However, most anticancer agents cannot differentiate between cancerous and normal cells, resulting severe systemic toxicity. In addition, acquired drug resistance during the chemotherapy treatment further decreases efficacy. With proper strategy, nanodrug carriers, such as liposomes/immunoliposomes, may be able undesired side effects of chemotherapy, overcome multidrug resistance, improve this study,...
Using accumulators for intercropping in agricultural production can change the heavy metal concentration target plants. This study aims to investigate how wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and Solanum nigrum L. affects soil bacterial community cadmium (Cd) absorption response Cd-contaminated soil. We compared concentrations accumulations of Cd by plants, activities enzymes structures rhizosphere monoculture system. Principal component analysis (PCA) ordinations showed that communities were...
Phosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient for crops, but its excess in discharge water harms both surface and groundwater quality. A cost-effective eco-friendly adsorbent desirable to meet circular economy criteria by effectively removing P from being safely recycled agricultural use. Thus, this study aims synthesize amine-functionalized magnetic lignin nanocomposite biosorbent first grafting poly(ethyleneimine) on epoxidized followed coprecipitation with iron. This shows adsorption...
Large amounts of food are wasted during the supply chain. This loss is in part due to consumer confusion over dates on packages that can indicate a variety quality indicators product (e.g., expiration date, "best by" "sell dates, etc.). To reduce this loss, much research has been focused films offer simple and easily manipulated indication systems detect spoilage. However, these materials usually hydrophilic biopolymers spoilage wide pH range but do not provide highly sensitive real-time...
