The current open-loop practices employed to render paper substrates water- and oil-repellent for packaging non-packaging applications have generated ocean pollution placed daunting burdens on landfills.
Reported herein is the synthesis of biobased and sustainable chitosan-graft-castor oil (CHI-g-CO)copolymer that can be used for paper coating. CHI-g-CO was obtained via chemical grafting castor oil-capped isocyanate (CO-capped-NCO) onto a chitosan polymer backbone. The copolymer then employed as waterborne coating Kraft unbleached to render coated both water- oil-resistant. formulation CHI-g-CO-coated optimized by using response surface methodology. water resistances substrates were...
Abstract Herein, mono‐carboxy methylation of 4,4′‐Biphenol was accomplished to give ethyl 2‐((4′‐hydroxy‐[1,1′‐biphenyl]‐4‐yl)oxy)acetate ( EBPA ).

Additionally, computational studies were performed density functional theory (DFT) at M06‐2X/6‐311+G(d,p) B3LYP/6‐311+G(d,p) levels get optimized structures countercheck the experimental findings. Overall, DFT...
The glassy carbon electrode was fabricated with multifunctional bis-triazole-appended calix[4]arene and then used for the simultaneous detection of Zn(II), Pb(II), As(III), Hg(II). Before applying square-wave anodic stripping voltammetry, sensitivity precision modified assured by optimizing various conditions such as modifier concentration, pH solution, deposition potential, accumulation time, supporting electrolytes. found to be responsive up picomolar limits aforementioned heavy metal...
A highly sensitive and selective electrochemical sensor has been developed investigated for multiple metal ions detection. The GCE was modified with the synthesized multifunctional calix[4]arene anodic stripping voltammetry used simultaneous analysis of Cd2+, Pb2+ Hg2+ ions. conditions were optimized respect to modifier's loaded concentration, accumulation time, potential, supporting electrolyte pH media. bis(imidazo[4,5-f][1, 10]phenanthroline) appended bis-triazolo Calix[4] arene glassy...
The preparation of renewable polyesters with good barrier properties is highly desirable for the packaging industry. Herein we report synthesis high molecular weight via an innovative use in situ drying agent approach and films formed from these polyesters. High number average (Mn) semiaromatic (PEs) were synthesized alternating ring-opening copolymerization (ROCOP) phthalic anhydride (PA) cyclohexene oxide (CHO) using a salen chromium(III) complex presence 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine (DMAP)...
We have successfully developed a ‘turn-on’ colorimetric chemosensor for Fe3+ based on 1,10-phenanthroline. An amide derivative of 1,10-phenanthroline 4 was the selective recognition over Co2+, Cr3+, Cu2+, Mn2+, Ni2+, Ag+ and Zn2+ could measure concentration in range 15–210 μM by UV–vis spectroscopy. Moreover, addition to colourless solution turned its colour light pink, indicating that is capable detecting naked eye. Compound exhibits major absorption band centred at 268 which shifted 278 nm...
ABSTRACT Due to their good mechanical properties, high molecular weight polyesters (PEs) are highly desirable for a wide range of applications especially in the packaging industry. However, synthesis polymers by energy efficient methods is difficult. In this study, series semi‐aromatic PEs were synthesized via alternating ring‐opening copolymerization (ROCOP) phthalic anhydride (PA) and cyclohexene oxide (CHO) using salen chromium(III) complex as catalyst 4‐(dimethylamino)pyridine...
