Abstract
The white pollution caused by unsustainable materials is a significant challenge around the globe. Here, a novel and fully biobased polybutyrolactam (PBY) nanofiber membrane was fabricated via the electrospinning method. As-spun PBY nanofiber membranes have good thermal stability, high porosity of up to 71.94%, and excellent wetting behavior. The biodegradability in soil, UV aging irradiation, and seawater was investigated. The PBY nanofiber membrane is almost completely degraded in the soil within 80 days, showing excellent degradability. More interestingly, γ-aminobutyric acid, as a healthcare agent with intrinsic hypotensive, tranquilizing, diuretic, and antidiabetic efficacy, can be detected in the degradation intermediates. In addition, the PBY nanofiber membrane also exhibits antibacterial ability against Escherichia coli. As a fully biomass-derived material, the PBY membrane has excellent biodegradable performance in various environments as well as negligible cytotoxicity and commendable cell proliferation. Our PBY nanofiber membrane shows great potential as biodegradable packaging and in vitro healthcare materials.

Abstract
Embedded silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) within nanofibers represent a highly promising alternative to common antimicrobial materials, due to the combined effective biocidal properties of Ag NPs with the biocompatibility and environmental friendliness of biobased polymers. In this study, we presented a novel one-step route to fabricate biobased polyamide 56 (PA56) nanofibers embedded with uniform Ag NPs. The process involved mixing reactive silver ammonia with PA56 solutions and then using formic acid as a reducing agent. Continuous electrospinning resulted in solvent evaporation, yielding Ag NPs highly dispersed within PA56 nanonet fibrous structures (PA56/Ag). Characterization assays confirmed the successful impregnation of Ag NPs in PA56 nanofibers, with an average size of about 32.4 nm. PA56/Ag nanofibers also displayed suitable morphology, mechanical properties, and good biocompatibility in vitro. Moreover, their antimicrobial effectiveness was evaluated against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Collectively, the proposed PA56/Ag nanofibers possess desirable characteristics suitable for antimicrobial applications.

Abstract
Polyamide 56 (PA56) has gained significant attention in the academic field due to its remarkable mechanical and thermal properties as a highly efficient and versatile biobased material. Its superior moisture absorption property also makes it a unique advantage in the realm of fiber textiles. However, despite extensive investigations on PA56's molecular and aggregate state structure, as well as processing modifications, little attention has been paid to its polymerization mechanism. Herein, the influence of temperature and time on PA56's polycondensation reaction is detailed studied by end-group titration and carbon nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques. The reaction kinetics equations for the pre-polymerization and vacuum melt-polymerization stages of PA56 are established, and possible side reactions during the polycondensation process are analyzed. By optimizing the reaction process based on kinetic characteristics, PA56 resin with superior comprehensive properties (melting temperature of 252.6 °C, degradation temperature of 371.6 °C, and tensile strength of 75 MPa) is obtained. The findings provide theoretical support for the industrial production of high-quality biobased PA56.

Abstract
Transmission through the respiratory tract is one of the most important ways for bacteria and viruses to infect the human body; the use of high-performance antibacterial and antiviral protective equipment is the most effective way to prevent the spread of respiratory diseases. However, at present, most personal protective equipment lacks the ability to kill pathogens. In this paper, a kind of polytetrahydropyrimidine-polyethylene terephthalate functional fiber (PET-PTHP fibers) with highly sustained antibacterial and antiviral properties was prepared. The inactivation rate of the fibers against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli was as high as 99.99%, and the antibacterial time was more than 72 h. The fibers have an obvious destructive effect on lentiviruses and can reduce the infection rate of lentiviruses in BxPC-3 cells from 25.4 to 9.7%. The cytotoxicity test, cell live/dead staining test, and cell proliferation test all confirmed that PET-PTHP fibers have no obvious cytotoxicity and good cytocompatibility. By applying the functional fibers to the inner layer of the masks, a new type of mask with adsorption, filtration, and killing properties against pathogens was prepared. The filtration efficiency of the new masks was 99.3%, and the pressure drop was 104 Pa. The new masks have excellent air permeability and filtration effect, meet the practical application conditions, and are of grade A; therefore, these masks provide medical protection as well as kill pathogens at the same time, further reducing the risk of human infection.

Abstract
Bio-based polymers can reduce dependence on nonrenewable petrochemical resources and will be beneficial for future sustainable developments due to their low carbon footprint. In this work, the feasibility of bio-based polyamide 56 (PA56) substituting petroleum-based PA66 is systematically investigated. The crystallization, melting, and decomposition temperature of PA56 were all lower than that of PA66. PA56 formed a γ crystal type with larger grain size and took a longer amount of time to complete the crystallization process since its crystallization rate was lower than that of PA66. Compared with PA66, PA56 exhibited a higher tensile strength of 71.3 ± 1.9 MPa and specific strength of 64.8 ± 2.0 MPa but lower notched impact strength. More importantly, the limited oxygen index and vertical combustion measurement results indicated that the flame retardancy of PA56 was better than PA66, and the LOI values and the UL94 result of PA56 were 27.6% ± 0.9% and V-2. It is worth noting that the PA56 fiber had superior biodegradability compared to the PA66 fiber. PA56 showed significant biodegradation from the eighth week, whereas PA66 remained clean until the sixteenth week (without obvious biodegradation taking place). Eventually, PA56 did not show significant differences compared to PA66 in terms of thermal and mechanical properties. However, PA56 had great advantages in flame retardancy and biodegradability, indicating that the bio-based PA56 could potentially replace petroleum-based PA66 in many fields.

Abstract
Nowadays, membrane technology is an efficient process for separating compounds with minimal structural abrasion; however, the manufacture of membranes still has several drawbacks to being profitable and competitive commercially under an environmentally friendly approach. In this sense, this review focuses on bio-based polymeric membranes as an alternative to solve the environmental concern caused by the use of polymeric materials of fossil origin. The fabrication of bio-based polymeric membranes is explained through a general description of elements such as the selection of bio-based polymers, the preparation methods, the usefulness of additives, the search for green solvents, and the characterization of the membranes. The advantages and disadvantages of bio-based polymeric membranes are discussed, and the application of bio-based membranes to recover organic and inorganic contaminants is also discussed.

Abstract
Abstract
The properties and compatibility of bio-based PA56 and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) polymers were studied in detail. The experimental results showed that when compared with PET, bio-based PA56 had better moisture absorption, softness, and dyeing characteristics. By calculating and analyzing the macromolecular structures of bio-based PA56 and PET, the difference in solubility was obtained as 4.18 Cal0.5·cm1.5·mol−1. Thermodynamic analysis showed that the measured change in mixing enthalpy far exceeds the range of the compatible system when the proportion of bio-based PA56 exceeded 15%. When the content of bio-based PA56 in PET exceeded 20%, the glass transition temperature of the blends with different proportions all had double peaks and the eutectic phenomenon was not observed. Scanning electron microscopy was used to observe the cross-section morphology of bio-based PA56/PET blends before and after etching. We found that the interface between the two phases was clear and a “sea-island” dispersed structure was formed. The results of the analysis indicated that the compatibility of the bio-based PA56 and PET was not good.

Abstract
Lysine is a key raw material in the chemical industry owing to its sustainability, mature fermentation process and unique chemical structure, besides being an important nutritional supplement. Multiple commodities can be produced from lysine, which thus inspired various catalytic strategies for the production of these lysine-based chemicals and their downstream applications in functional polymer production. In this review, we present a fundamental and comprehensive study on the catalytic production process of several important lysine-based chemicals and their application in highly valued polymers. Specifically, we first focus on the synthesis process and some of the current industrial production methods of lysine-based chemicals, including ε-caprolactam, α-amino-ε-caprolactam and its derivatives, cadaverine, lysinol and pipecolic acid. Second, the applications and prospects of these lysine-based monomers in functional polymers are discussed such as derived poly (lysine), nylon-56, nylon-6 and its derivatives, which are all of growing interest in pharmaceuticals, human health, textile processes, fire control and electronic manufacturing. We finally conclude with the prospects of the development of both the design and synthesis of new lysine derivatives and the expansion of the as-synthesized lysine-based monomers in potential fields.

Abstract
Sulfurihydrogenibium yellowstonense carbonic anhydrase (SyCA) is a well-known thermophilic CA for carbon mineralization. To broaden the applications of SyCA, the activity of SyCA was improved through stepwise engineering and in different cultural conditions, as well as extended to co-expression with other enzymes. The engineered W3110 strains with 4 different T7 RNA polymerase levels were employed for SyCA production. As a result, the best strain WT7L cultured in modified M9 medium with temperature shifted from 37 to 30 °C after induction increased SyCA activity to 9122 U/mL. The SyCA whole-cell biocatalyst was successfully applied for carbon capture and storage (CCS) of CaCO3. Furthermore, SyCA was applied for low-carbon footprint synthesis of 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) and cadaverine (DAP) by coupling with ALA synthetase (ALAS) and lysine decarboxylase (CadA), suppressing CO2 release to -6.1 g-CO2/g-ALA and -2.53 g-CO2/g-DAP, respectively. Harnessing a highly active SyCA offers a complete strategy for CCSU in a green process.

Abstract
This study synthesized a series of new biobased copolyamides (co-PAs), namely PA56/PA66 with various comonomer ratios, by using in situ polycondensation. The structures, compositions, behaviors, and crystallization kinetics of the co-PAs were investigated through proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectroscopy, gel permeation chromatography (GPC), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), polarized optical microscopy (POM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The influence of the composition of co-PAs on their mechanical properties and thermal stability was investigated. The co-PAs exhibited a eutectic melting point when the PA56 content was 50 mol%, with the crystallization temperature decreasing from 229 to a minimum 188 °C and the melting temperature from 253 to a minimum 218 °C. The results indicated that the tensile strength and flexural modulus first decreased and then increased as the PA66 content increased. The nonisothermal crystallization kinetics of the PA56/PA66 co-PAs were analyzed using both the Avrami equation modifications presented by Jeziorny and Mo. The results also indicated that the crystallization rate of the PA56/PA66 co-PAs was higher than that of PA56.

[PMID: 35567012 PMCID: PMC9103054 DOI: 10.3390/polym14091843] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2022] [Revised: 04/27/2022] [Accepted: 04/28/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
Bio-based polyamide 1010 was melt-compounded with different percentages (2.5 to 10.0 wt.%) of expandable graphite (EGr) as an environmentally friendly solution to improve the flame retardancy properties. The mechanical, morphological, thermal and fire retardancy properties (among others) are analysed. The novelty of the article lies in the use of fully removable polyamide. The effect of the incorporation of EGr in the properties of this polymer was analysed and characterised. The incorporation of EGr into the PA1010 matrix led to very promising results. Mechanically, the EGr provided increased stiffness and a tensile strength up to 7.5 wt.%, verifying good mechanical performance. The DMTA results also show how the incorporation of EGr in the PA1010 matrix clearly increases the stiffness of the composites over the entire temperature range analysed. In terms of physical properties, water absorption of PA1010 was reduced particularly in the 10% EGr, which reduces the water absorption of PA1010 by 20%. In terms of flame retardant properties, with the incorporation of EGr, a significant reduction in the heat release rate (HRR) values as the concentration of the additive increases and a reduction in the maximum peak heat release rate (pHRR) can be observed for all compounds. In particular, it goes from 934 kW/m2 for neat polyamide to a value of 374 kW/m2 with 10% EGr. Finally, an improvement in the UL-94 rating of the 7.5 and 10% EGr composites was also observed, going from V-2 in the PA to V-1 in these composites.

Abstract
Global warming and climate change because carbon dioxide (CO2) release to atmosphere is the forecasting challenges to human being. We are facing how to overcome the dilemma on the balance between economic and environment, thus taking more efforts on green processes to meet agreement of sustainable society are urgent and crucial. The absorption of CO2 by microalgae reduces the impact of CO2 on the environment. In this study, the CO2 removal efficiency was the highest in the culture of Cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. PCC7002 (also called blue-green algae), at 2% CO2 to reach a value of 0.86 g-CO2/g-DCW. The main product of PCC7002 is C-phycocyanin (C-PC) which regarding to phycobilisome complex in all cyanobacterial species. A 160% increasing C-PC was achieved in the cultivation under 100 μmol/m2/s light intensity, 12:12 light-period with 2% CO2 at 30 °C. The mix-culture of nitric and ammonia ions had positive effect on the cell growth and C-PC accumulation, thus realized the highest yield of 0.439 g-CPC/g-DCW. Additionally, the partial purified C-PC displayed 89% antioxidant activity of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryhydrazyl (DPPH) and 11% of superoxide free radical scavenging activity, respectively. The production of C-PC from PCC7002 reduced the CO2 emission and exhibited antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and lead ion adsorption at room temperature, which has the great potential for eco-friendly application.

Abstract
Glutamate decarboxylase B (GadB) from Escherichia coli, an intrinsic pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP)-dependent enzyme has been employed for 4-aminobutyric acid (GABA) biosynthesis, which involves the glutamate import and GABA export via a transporter located in the inner membrane as rate determined step of whole-cell (WC) biotransformation. Herein, GadB was cloned and overexpressed in E. coli under a constitutive promoter in a high copy number plasmid, and 46.9 g/L GABA was produced. It was observed that GadB migrated to the periplasm when the WC were subjected to -20 °C cold treatment for 24 h prior to the biotransformation. Kinetic studies indicated that the enzymatic turnover rate of WC increased 2-fold after cold treatment, which was correlated with the migration rate of GadB, and up to 88.6% of GadB. The export or possible migration of GadB mitigated the rate-limiting step of WC biotransformation, and a 100% conversion of substrate to GABA was obtained. Finally, we launched a promising strategy for GABA production of 850 g/L from cost-effective monosodium glutamate (MSG) by using WC biocatalysts with 10-times recycling.

Abstract
The super-tough bio-based nylon was prepared by melt extrusion. In order to improve the compatibility between bio-based nylon and elastomer, the elastomer POE was grafted with maleic anhydride. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) were used to study the compatibility and micro-distribution between super-tough bio-based nylon and toughened elastomers. The results of mechanical strength experiments show that the 20% content of POE-g-MAH has the best toughening effect. After toughening, the toughness of the super-tough nylon was significantly improved. The notched impact strength was 88 kJ/m2 increasing by 1700%, which was in line with the industrial super-tough nylon. X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) were used to study the crystallization behavior of bio-based PA56, and the effect of bio-based PA56 with high crystallinity on mechanical properties was analyzed from the microstructure.

Abstract
The development of microorganisms and formation of thrombus on a biomaterial surface can seriously lead to device failure and threaten human health. Nonetheless, a surface that has both antibacterial and anticoagulant properties has scarcely been developed. Herein, a novel dual-action membrane composed of polyethersulfone (PES) bulk material and a hydrophilic anionic poly-2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid (PAMPS) polymer has been prepared via the cationic antibacterial agent poly(hexamethylene biguanide) (PHMB)-induced phase separation technique. Interestingly, the resultant membrane can offer tunable antibacterial and anticoagulant properties, while maintaining satisfactory permeability and greatly increasing selectivity. The membrane also shows excellent hydrophilicity, a well-defined porous surface, and cross section with a sponge gradient structure. Furthermore, the PHMB-PAMPS complex formed on the membrane surface displays outstanding long-term stability, which is crucial for further practical applications. More importantly, the hollow fiber membrane fabricated by the cationic polyelectrolyte-induced phase separation technique confirms its capability to control the membrane permeability (257.4 L·m-2·h-1·bar-1) and selectivity (95.9%) without destroying the membrane structure. The present work opens a straightforward and efficient avenue for the rational design of a functional surface to fight biomedical material-associated infections.
