Amidoxime (AO)-functionalized polymer sorbents used in this study were prepared by two different routes involving UV grafting and electron-beam of acrylonitrile (AN) into poly(propylene) fibrous microporous sheets, subsequent conversion AN to AO groups reacting the precursor sorbent with hydroxylamine. The values self-diffusion coefficient (D(s)) UO(2)(2+) sheet found be 1.1 x 10(-6) 2.3 10(-10) cm(2) s(-1), respectively. higher diffusion mobility was attributed its free volume as observed...
Three-dimensional hybrid nanomaterial of graphene-multiwalled carbon nanotubes (G-MWCNTs) was synthesized using gamma rays emitted by a 60 Co source with dose rate 3.95 Gy min −1 . The products were characterized fourier transform infrared (FTIR), ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis), photoluminescence (PL), and micro-Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission (TEM). FTIR UV-Vis reveals the formation which is confirmed XRD, analysis, PL....
ABSTRACT The objective of the current study was to evaluate feasibility Aloe vera gel as a plasticizer and crosslinker in improving properties starch–polyvinyl alcohol blends that could find applications packaging. concentration varied (1%, 3%, 5% 7% wt/wt) produce SPA‐1, SPA‐3, SPA‐5 SPA‐7 films, respectively. plasticizing crosslinking characteristics associated with had positive influence on mechanical films. Addition increased tensile strength films from 27.45 MPa (control) 32.98, 32.53...
Cross-linked hydrogels containing poly(ethylene glycol methacrylate phosphate) (EGMP), poly(2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propane sulfonate) (AMPS), poly(acrylamidoxime) (AO), and AO along with different acidic (acrylic acid (AA), methacrylic (MAA), AMPS, EGMP) basic (3-(acrylamido propyl) trimethylammonium chloride (APTAC)) comonomers were prepared by UV-initiated bulk polymerization. These characterized in terms of their chemical structure U(VI)-uptake behavior from aqueous seawater samples....
A silver nanoparticles decorated reduced graphene oxide–multiwalled carbon nanotubes (Ag–rGO–MWCNTs) hybrid exhibits an excellent antibacterial activity against <italic>Escherichia coli</italic> (<italic>E. coli</italic>).
Herein we report, a simple strategy for the synthesis of hexagonal wurtzite ZnO and Nd doped (Nd/ZnO) using sonochemically assisted chemical co-precipitation method. The samples were characterized by standard analytical techniques, such as Fourier transform infrared UV–vis spectroscopy (FTIR), x-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy dispersive (EDX) analysis, Photoluminescence (PL) specific surface area analysis (BET). XRD results showed that...
ABSTRACT The present endeavor focuses on the unusual interactions between polyaniline and graphene oxide (PANi–GO) which radically affects properties of nanocomposites as it is an emerging material for many potential applications. A series have been synthesized by varying weight percentage highly nonconducting GO with respect to aniline exhibit superior in terms shelf life, processability conductivity due synergistic effect PANi. comparison resistances samples reveal that though...
The sustainable and cost-effective reduction of electrochemical CO2 to valuable chemicals or fuels is a promising solution mitigate greenhouse gas emissions energy demands. Herein, the potential MXenes as an anchoring site for isolated transition metal (TM) atoms explored develop efficient single-atom catalysts (SACs) reaction (CO2RR). We design series SACs from 3d (Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn), 4d (Y, Zr, Nb, Mo), 5d (Hf) metals, supported on O-terminated MXene (TM@Ti2CO2) using well-defined...
