The COVID-19 pandemic has incredibly escalated the use of petroleum-based disposable facemasks, posing a significant environmental burden. In response, polylactide acid (PLA), biobased and biodegradable aliphatic polymer, been considered potential alternative. However, applications PLA in facemask materials are hindered by its inherent brittleness, poor toughness, slow degradation rate environment. Addressing these challenges, this study explored two triesters as green plasticizers to...

Maillard reactions have been reported extensively. However, full color development kinetics of rarely studied in detail. This study systematically investigated the reactions. Thus, arginine (Arg), histidine (His), and lysine (Lys) were each reacted with dihydroxyacetone (DHA) using a simplified model system at different molar ratios, reaction times, pH, temperatures. Importantly, browning intensity (at 450 nm) characteristics (within CIE L*a*b* space) measured analyzed Minitab statistical...

As petroleum resources diminish and public environmental consciousness increases, biobased, fluorine-free waterproof agents have become a research hotspot. However, most reported still suffer from poor water resistance the drawback of hardening fabric's hand feel. To address these issues, silanated castor oil (SiCO) was synthesized by trimethoxysilane used to prepare series biobased waterborne polyurethanes (SiCO-WPU). Then, SiCO-WPU finished on polyamide fabric using pad–dry–cure procedure....

Wastewater and sewage sludge treatment plants are known to be important entrance routes for microplastics (MPs) into the aquatic environment. Although traditional wastewater with primary secondary purification processes can remove over 99% of MPs, majority these believed deposited sludge. This provides a route environment, especially if treated is used as fertilizer on agricultural land. methods do exist removal MPs from water, there limited studies The possibility using electron beam has...

Objective: To compare the data correlation between two kinds of instruments, Chromameter CM2500d and Maxmeter MX18, in measurement skin color changes under normal condition post‐ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Method: The points are based on L * a values, while MX18 M E order to these instruments both non‐exposed exposed sites. In addition, an evaluation post‐UV irradiation was conducted. Four different parameters radiation were measured including minimal erythema dose (MED), immediate...

Monomer of polyamide (PA66) and flame-retardant intermediate product (FR) were firstly synthesized, the (PA-FR) was further gained by polymerization PA66 FR. The structure PA-FR confirmed Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), X-ray photoelectron (XPS), gel permeation chromatography (GPC). thermal properties finished fabric evaluated gravity analysis (TGA) differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Moreover, diffraction (XRD) showed that melting...

A novel polyamide–polyether block copolymer (PPBC) was successfully prepared with polypropylene glycol (PPG-1000), succinic anhydride (SA), adipic acid (AA) and hexamethylenediamine (HAD) via condensation polymerization. The synthesized PPBC characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), gel permeation chromatography (GPC) thermogravimetric analysis (TG). Afterwards, as hydrophilic finishing agent treated onto polyamide fabric a pad-dry-cure method. Scanning electron...

Sunless tanning has become incredibly prevalent due to the increasing fashionable demand and awareness of photodamage risks. The brown pigments are induced by dihydroxyacetone (DHA) amino groups in stratum corneum (SC) skin via Maillard reaction. While most studies concerning sunless reactions have focused on free acids (AAs), little information is available impact side chain AAs or proteins this important reaction cosmetic chemistry. To explore reactivity color development kinetics...
