Highly flame-retardant materials of different divalent metal ions alginate/silver phosphate: Synthesis, characterizations, and synergistic phosphorus-polymetallic effects. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 247:125834. [PMID: 37453641 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.125834] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2023] [Revised: 07/01/2023] [Accepted: 07/12/2023] [Indexed: 07/18/2023]
Abstract
Three kinds of divalent metal ions (Ca2+, Cu2+, Zn2+) alginate/silver phosphate (MAlg/Ag3PO4) hybrid materials were prepared via an in-situ method, and the composites were characterized by X-ray diffractometry (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Fourier transform infrared spectrum (FTIR). To investigate their flame-retardant properties and phosphorus-polymetallic flame-retardant effects, the combustion behavior and flammability of the composites were assessed by using the thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), limiting oxygen index (LOI) and micro-calorimeter tests (MCC). The results show that the three composites were thermally stable, among which the LOI of CaAlg/Ag3PO4, CuAlg/Ag3PO4 and ZnAlg/Ag3PO4 were 62.6 %, 46.5 % and 79.8 %, respectively, which were much higher than the prescribed flame retardants which was 27 %. According to the TGA, the thermal stability was ZnAlg/Ag3PO4 > CaAlg/Ag3PO4 > CuAlg/Ag3PO4. The heat release capacity (HRC) of the above three materials was 49 J/(g·K), 69 J/(g·K), 41 J/(g·K), respectively, and the fire safety performance was also in the same order as the thermal stability. By using the thermogravimetric analysis coupled with Fourier transform infrared analysis (TG-FTIR) and pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS), the flame retarding mechanism of MAlg/Ag3PO4 and the synergistic effect of Ag3PO4 and divalent metal ions were proposed based on the experimental data.

Magnetic chitosan/calcium alginate double-network hydrogel beads: Preparation, adsorption of anionic and cationic surfactants, and reuse in the removal of methylene blue. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 239:124311.

Abstract
Robust and reusable magnetic chitosan/calcium alginate double-network hydrogel beads (CSMAB) with an environmentally benign biocomposite material synthesis approach were used adsorption of surfactant and removal of methylene blue dye sequentially for the first time. Double network hydrogel structure with sodium alginate and chitosan and acidification of the surface with HCl provided the reusability of the beads at the pollutant removal in water. The CSMAB beads were characterized for structural analysis by FESEM, EDX, BET, VSM, and FTIR techniques. They were used for the adsorption of cationic hexadecylpyridinium chloride (HDPCl) and anionic sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) surfactants and reused in the removal of cationic methylene blue dye without any pretreatment. The effect of pH, adsorbent dose, and temperature on surfactant removal efficiency was analyzed and pH was found the statistical significance. The adsorption capacity of CSMAB beads with a surface area of 0.65 m2 g-1 was calculated as 1.9 mg g-1 for HDPCl, and 1.2 mg g-1 for SDS, respectively. The SDS and HDPCl adsorption followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic and Freundlich isotherm model. The thermodynamic results showed that the surfactant adsorption process is an exothermic and spontaneous process. SDS-reacted CSMAB beads showed higher efficiency with 61 % in the removal of methylene blue dye.

Abstract
Herein, a novel superdispersed calcium borate@polydopamine/cellulose acetate-laurate nanocomposite (CTAB-CB@PDA/CAL) is successfully synthesized by a double-template-regulated biomimetic mineralization strategy using PDA/CAL as a hard template and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as a soft template and surface hydrophobic modifier. The results show that CB can grow uniformly on the CAL surface, and CTAB can improve the hydrophobicity of CTAB-CB@PDA/CAL due to the synergistic effect of the double templates, which contributes to the enhanced dispersibility and long-term dispersion stability of CTAB-CB@PDA/CAL in poly-alpha-olefin (PAO) base oil. Furthermore, CB can rapidly enter the friction interface due to the long substituents of CTAB and CAL, so CTAB-CB@PDA/CAL used as a lubricant additive in PAO base oil exhibits superior tribological performance compared to CB, CB/CAL, and CB@PDA/CAL.

Study on physical properties of four pH responsive Spodoptera exigua multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (SeMNPV) microcapsules as controlled release carriers. Sci Rep 2022; 12:21873.

Abstract
This study provides a promising controlled release form of nuclear polyhedrosis virus (NPV) for targeted control of lepidopteran pests. However, the application of NPV is limited due to its sensitivity to UV inactivation. This study investigated the anti-UV properties of microcapsules of SeMNPV occlusion bodies (OBs) encapsulated by calcium alginate (CA), and also the influence of the modification of CA by chitosan (CS), whey protein (WP), and polydopamine (PDA). These capsules were used to deliver, in a controlled release manner virions under alkaline pH conditions. Characterization of the structure, morphology, particle size, encapsulation efficiency, contact angle, insecticidal activity, UV resistance and in vitro release of the microcapsules was conducted. The modified microcapsules had better sphericity, and were devoid of SeMNPV OBs on the surface. The encapsulation rate was 84.76 ± 0.59%. PDA@CA-NPV had the highest wettability and the contact angle was 74.51 ± 0.53°. The 50% lethal concentration values (LC50) of CA-NPV, CS@CA-NPV, WP@CA-NPV and PDA@CA-NPV were 11.5, 10.7, 10.5 and 1.2 times that of SeMNPV OBs alone. The modified microcapsules all improved the anti-UV performance of the virus, and PDA@CA-NPV was the most UV-resistant. Using qPCR, it was observed that under alkaline conditions, a large number of virions were released from PDA@CA-NPV, CA-NPV and SeMNPV OBs. Microencapsulated virus under alkaline conditions did not change the release pattern of virions.

Abstract
Fire hazards and infectious diseases result in great threats to public safety and human health, thus developing multi-functional materials to deal with these issues is critical and yet has remained challenging to date. In this work, we report a facile and eco-friendly synthetic approach for the preparation of calcium alginate/silver chloride (CA/AgCl) nanocomposites with dual functions of excellent flame-retardant and antibacterial activity. Multi characterization techniques and antibacterial assays were performed to investigate the flame-retardant and antibacterial properties of the CA/AgCl nanocomposites. The obtained results show that the CA/AgCl nanocomposites exhibited much higher limiting oxygen index value (> 60%) than that of CA (48%) with a UL-94 rating of V-0. Moreover, CA/AgCl particularly displayed an efficiently smoke-suppressive feature by achieving a total smoke release value of 2.7 m2/m2, which was reduced by 91%, compared to CA. The antibacterial rates of the CA/AgCl nanocomposites against E. coli and S. aureus were measured to be 99.67% and 99.77%, respectively, while CA showed quite weak antibacterial rates. In addition, the flame-retardant and antibacterial mechanisms were analyzed and proposed based on the experimental data. This study provides a novel nanocomposite material with both flame-retardant and antibacterial properties which show promising application prospects in the fields of decorative materials and textile industry.

Abstract
A new biosourced composite foam (AF, associating foamed alginate matrix and orange peel filler) is successfully tested for fire-retardant properties. This material having similar thermal insulating properties and density than fire-retardant polyurethane foam (FR-PUF, a commercial product) shows promising enhanced properties for flame retardancy, as assessed by different methods such as thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), pyrolysis combustion flow calorimetry (PCFC) and a newly designed apparatus called RAPACES for investigating large-scale samples. All these methods confirm the promising properties of this alternative material in terms of fire protection (pHRR, THR, EHC, time-to-ignition, flame duration or production of residue), especially for heat flux not exceeding 50 kW m-2. At higher heat flux (i.e., 75 kW m-2), flame retardant properties tend to decrease but maintain at a higher level than FR-PUF. The investigation of the effect of AF thickness shows that the critical thickness (CT) is close to 1.5-1.7 cm: heat diffusion and material combustion are limited to the CT layer that protects the underlying layers from combustion. A multiplicity of factors can explain this behavior, such as: (a) negligible heat conduction, (b) low heat of combustion, (c) charring formation, and (d) water release. Water being released from underlying layers, dilutes the gases emitted during the combustion of superficial layers and promotes the flame extinction.

Abstract
The worldwide applications of polyurethane (PU) and polystyrene (PS) sponge materials have been causing massive non-renewable resource consumption and huge loss of property and life due to its high flammability. Finding a biodegradable and regenerative sponge material with desirable thermal and flame retardant properties remains challenging to date. In this study, bio-based, renewable calcium alginate hybrid sponge materials (CAS) with high thermal stability and flame retardancy were fabricated through a simple, eco-friendly, in situ, chemical-foaming process at room temperature, followed by a facile and economical post-cross-linking method to obtain the organic-inorganic (CaCO3) hybrid materials. The microstructure of CAS showed desirable porous networks with a porosity rate of 70.3%, indicating that a great amount of raw materials can be saved to achieve remarkable cost control. The sponge materials reached a limiting oxygen index (LOI) of 39, which was greatly improved compared with common sponge. Moreover, with only 5% calcium carbonate content, the initial thermal degradation temperature of CAS was increased by 70 °C (from 150 to 220 °C), compared to that of calcium alginate, which met the requirements of high-temperature resistant and nonflammable materials. The thermal degradation mechanism of CAS was supposed based on the experimental data. The combined results suggest promising prospects for the application of CAS in a range of fields and the sponge materials provide an alternative for the commonly used PU and PS sponge materials.

Abstract
With Cu2+ complexes as precursors, nano-cuprous oxide was prepared on a sodium alginate template excluded of Cl- and based on which the calcium alginate/nano-cuprous oxide hybrid materials were prepared by a Ca2+ crosslinking and freeze-drying process. The thermal degradation and combustion behavior of the materials were studied by related characterization techniques using pure calcium alginate as a comparison. The results show that the weight loss rate, heat release rate, peak heat release rate, total heat release rate and specific extinction area of the hybrid materials were remarkably lower than pure calcium alginate, and the flame-retardant performance was significantly improved. The experimental data indicates that nano-cuprous oxide formed a dense protective layer of copper oxide, calcium carbonate and carbon by lowering the initial degradation temperature of the polysaccharide chain during thermal degradation and catalytically dehydrating to char in the combustion process, and thereby can isolate combustible gases, increase carbon residual rates, and notably reduce heat release and smoke evacuation.

A Novel Inherently Flame-Retardant Composite Based on Zinc Alginate/Nano-Cu 2O. Polymers (Basel) 2019; 11:polym11101575. [PMID: 31569681 PMCID: PMC6835664 DOI: 10.3390/polym11101575] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2019] [Revised: 09/19/2019] [Accepted: 09/25/2019] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
A novel flame-retardant composite material based on zinc alginate (ZnAlg) and nano-cuprous oxide (Cu2O) was prepared through a simple, eco-friendly freeze-drying process and a sol-gel method. The composites were characterized and their combustion and flammability behavior were tested. The composites had high thermal stability and achieved nearly non-flammability with a limiting oxygen index (LOI) of 58. The results show remarkable improvement of flame-retardant properties in the ZnAlg/Cu2O composites, compared to ZnAlg. Furthermore, the pyrolysis behavior was determined by pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (Py-GC-MS) and the flame-retardant mechanism was proposed based on the combined experimental results. The prepared composites show promising application prospects in building materials and the textile industry.

Abstract
A polyester fabric, coated with calcium alginate and nano-calcium borate composites (CAB-PL), was fabricated by a post-cross-linking method, with remarkable improvement of flame retardancy and thermal stability, as compared with the original polyester fabric (PL). The mechanical properties of CAB-PL and PL were studied, and characterizations and tests including Fourier transform infrared spectrum (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), limiting oxygen index (LOI), cone calorimetry (CONE) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) were employed to evaluate the flame retardancy and thermostability. The test results of CAB-PL showed excellent mechanical strength and anti-dripping properties. In comparison with PL, TGA results indicate that the presence of surface-coated composites produced more char residue and can effectively inhibit the heat transmission, and the LOI value of CAB-PL was improved from 25 to 33. Moreover, CONE results show that 88.65% reduction of total smoke release (TSR) values was induced by the presence of CAB. In addition, the possible pyrolysis mechanisms for CAB-PL have been proposed based on the results of pyrolysis-gas chromatography⁻mass spectrometry (Py-GC-MS) analysis. The combined results can provide useful information for understanding the flame retardant mechanisms of alginates as well. In summary, polyester fabric was upgraded by coating it with the calcium alginate/nano-calcium borate, thus achieving extraordinary flame retardancy and thermal stability for various applications within the textile industry.

Abstract
Calcium alginate (CaAlg) is a kind of biodegradable and eco-friendly functional material, and CaAlg/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) composites are expected to be applied as new textile, heat-generating, and flame-retardant materials. In this paper, the CaAlg/rGO composites were prepared by a sol-gel method and their morphological and thermal properties were studied. The results showed that the introduction of rGO can efficiently improve the thermal stability of CaAlg. Further study showed that rGO increased the carbon formation rate by 4.1%, indicating that the thermal stability was improved by the promotion of carbon formation. Moreover, the weight loss rate of the composites was faster at 180⁻200 °C than that of CaAlg, after which the rate was less comparatively, suggesting the better thermal stability of the composite. This maybe because the high heat transfer efficiency of rGO allowed the material to reach the temperature of the thermal decomposition of the glycan molecule chain within a short time, and then promoted carbon formation. The thermal cracking mechanism of the composites is proposed based on the experimental data.
