Abstract
Taking advantage of the high specific surface area of the nanoparticles, boron nitride (BN) nanoparticles were incorporated into the semi-solidified aluminium-copper alloy Al-5Cu-Mn (ZL201) system during the casting process, and its properties and enhancement mechanism were studied. The results shown that the BN in the new composite material is more uniformly distributed in the second phase (Al2Cu), which can promote grain refinement and enhance the bonding with the aluminium-based interface, and the formation of stable phases such as AlB2, AlN, CuN, etc. makes the tensile strength and hardness of the material to be significantly improved (8.5%, 10.2%, respectively). The mechanism of the action of BN in Al2Cu was analyzed by establishing an atomic model and after calculation: BN can undergo strong adsorption on the surface of Al2Cu (0 0 1), and the adsorption energy is lower at the bridge sites on the two cut-off surfaces, which makes the binding of BN to the aluminum base more stable. The charge transfer between B, N and each atom of the matrix can promote the formation of strong covalent bonds Al-N, Cu-N and Al-B bonds, which can increase the dislocation density and hinder the grain boundary slip within the alloy.

Abstract
In this study, novel polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA)-associated genes (phaCp and phaABp) cloned from Propylenella binzhouense L72T were expressed in Escherichiacoli cells for PHA production, and the recombinant strains were used to analyze PHA yields with various substrates. The highest poly (3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxy-valerate) (PHBV) yield (1.06 g/L) and cell dry weight (3.31 g/L) in E. coli DH5α/ΔptsG-CpABp were achieved by using glucose and propionicacid as substrates. Structural verification of PHBV produced by E. coli DH5α/ΔptsG-CpABp was performed to evaluate the characteristics of the polymers using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance analysis. In addition, the X-ray diffraction results showed improved crystallinity of PHBV, and thermogravimetric analysis showed good thermal stability of 298 °C. The above findings indicated that the expression of phaCp and phaABp genes resulted in improved PHBV synthesis activity, and the polymer had better performance at higher processing temperatures.

A Novel Comparative Study Based on the Economic Feasibility of the Ceramic Nanoparticles Role’s in Improving the Properties of the AA5250 Nanocomposites. COATINGS 2021.

Abstract
In this paper, AA5250 aluminum sheets are reinforced with boron nitride (BN), silicon carbide (SiC), aluminum oxide (Al2O3), and vanadium carbide (VC). The nanocomposites metal matrix are manufactured using friction stir processing (FSP). A novel analytical comparison based on an assessment of mechanical, physical properties and the cost of manufactured materials was conducted to help the engineers and designers choose the most economically feasible nanocomposite. The results revealed extra grain refining for all composites in the stirred zone (SZ) due to the Zener-pinning mechanism. The smallest grain size was obtained in AA5250/BN, and it decreased 20 times that of the base metal (BM). The highest wear resistance was achieved in AA5250/SiC, followed by AA5250/VC and AA5250/BN. The lowest coefficient of friction was obtained for AA5250/BN due to the self-lubrication property of BN; which was μ = 0.28. SiC AA5250 had the highest hardness, increasing three times more than the base metal in terms of its hardness. There was a detailed discussion of the probable explanations for the improvements. However, the outstanding characteristics of the BN nanoparticles, the AA5250/BN was reported to be lower than the AA5250/SiC. In comparison, the AA5250/SiC nanocomposite exhibits the optimum value due to its fitting for different properties relative to the cost.

Abstract
In the present study, a new poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) [P(3HB-co-3HV-co-3HHx)] terpolyester with approximately 68 mol% of 3-hydroxybutyrate (3HB), 17 mol% of 3-hydroxyvalerate (3HV), and 15 mol% of 3-hydroxyhexanoate (3HHx) was obtained via the mixed microbial culture (MMC) technology using fruit pulps as feedstock, a processing by-product of the juice industry. After extraction and purification performed in a single step, the P(3HB-co-3HV-co-3HHx) powder was melt-mixed, for the first time, in contents of 10, 25, and 50 wt% with commercial poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV). Thereafter, the resultant doughs were thermo-compressed to obtain highly miscible films with good optical properties, which can be of interest in rigid and semirigid organic recyclable food packaging applications. The results showed that the developed blends exhibited a progressively lower melting enthalpy with increasing the incorporation of P(3HB-co-3HV-co-3HHx), but retained the PHB crystalline morphology, albeit with an inferred lower crystalline density. Moreover, all the melt-mixed blends were thermally stable up to nearly 240 °C. As the content of terpolymer increased in the blends, the mechanical response of their films showed a brittle-to-ductile transition. On the other hand, the permeabilities to water vapor, oxygen, and, more notably, limonene were seen to increase. On the overall, this study demonstrates the value of using industrial biowaste derived P(3HB-co-3HV-co-3HHx) terpolyesters as potentially cost-effective and sustainable plasticizing additives to balance the physical properties of organic recyclable polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA)-based food packaging materials.

Abstract
Innovative solutions using biopolymer-based materials made of several constituents seems to be particularly attractive for packaging in biomedical and pharmaceutical applications. In this direction, some progress has been made in extending use of the electrospinning process towards fiber formation based on biopolymers and organic compounds for the preparation of novel packaging materials. Electrospinning can be used to create nanofiber mats characterized by high purity of the material, which can be used to create active and modern biomedical and pharmaceutical packaging. Intelligent medical and biomedical packaging with the use of polymers is a broadly and rapidly growing field of interest for industries and academia. Among various polymers, alginate has found many applications in the food sector, biomedicine, and packaging. For example, in drug delivery systems, a mesh made of nanofibres produced by the electrospinning method is highly desired. Electrospinning for biomedicine is based on the use of biopolymers and natural substances, along with the combination of drugs (such as naproxen, sulfikoxazol) and essential oils with antibacterial properties (such as tocopherol, eugenol). This is a striking method due to the ability of producing nanoscale materials and structures of exceptional quality, allowing the substances to be encapsulated and the drugs/ biologically active substances placed on polymer nanofibers. So, in this article we briefly summarize the recent advances on electrospinning of biopolymers with particular emphasis on usage of Alginate for biomedical and pharmaceutical applications.
