Partow AJ, Meng S, Wong AJ, Savin DA, Tong Z. Recyclable & highly porous organo-aerogel adsorbents from biowaste for organic contaminants' removal. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 827:154051. [PMID: 35217054 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.154051] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/26/2021] [Revised: 02/15/2022] [Accepted: 02/17/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Selective aerogel has become an attractive adsorbent for removing oil and organic contaminants due to its low density and excellent adsorption capacity. However, aerogels usually use non-sustainable or expensive nanomaterials and require complicated fabrication processes. Herein, using low-cost lignin reclaimed from the biorefinery waste stream as the starting material, we fabricated a highly porous, mechanically strong, and stable aerogel via a simple and one-step method under mild conditions. This aerogel exhibits a controllable micropore structure and achieves quick and efficient adsorption for oil (435% g/g), as well as toxic solvents such as THF (365% g/g). The selective and stable adsorbent can be reused multiple times and the oil adsorption capacity after 5 cycles remained at 89%. This highly efficient, mechanically strong, stable, and regenerable aerogel is a potential candidate for multiple applications such as cleaning up organic contaminants, oil remediation, and oil/water separation. Meanwhile, it also employs a "waste-treat-waste" concept by adding extra value to the biorefinery process for high-efficiency circular bioeconomy.

Self-Healing Thiolated Pillar[5]arene Films Containing Moxifloxacin Suppress the Development of Bacterial Biofilms. NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 12:1604. [PMID: 35564312 PMCID: PMC9102331 DOI: 10.3390/nano12091604] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/13/2022] [Revised: 05/03/2022] [Accepted: 05/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Polymer self-healing films containing fragments of pillar[5]arene were obtained for the first time using thiol/disulfide redox cross-linking. These films were characterized by thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry, FTIR spectroscopy, and electron microscopy. The films demonstrated the ability to self-heal through the action of atmospheric oxygen. Using UV-vis, 2D 1H-1H NOESY, and DOSY NMR spectroscopy, the pillar[5]arene was shown to form complexes with the antimicrobial drug moxifloxacin in a 2:1 composition (logK11 = 2.14 and logK12 = 6.20). Films containing moxifloxacin effectively reduced Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumoniae biofilms formation on adhesive surfaces.

Abstract
Disulfide bonds are often employed as reductively cleavable sites in biomaterials and polymers. Here we demonstrate the aerobic photo-cross-linking of thiol-containing polymers through disulfide formation using a sensitizer and telluride catalyst.

Abstract
Properties and applications of synthetic thiol- and disulfide-based materials, principally polymers, are reviewed. Emphasis is placed on soft and self-assembling materials in which interconversion of the thiol and disulfide groups initiates stimulus-responses and/or self-healing for biomedical and non-biomedical applications.
