Crosslinked Polydiallyldimethylammonium Chloride Adsorbent for the Selective Separation of Rhenium Ions from Pregnant Leach Solutions.

The depletion of valuable mineral reserves has rendered effluents generated from mining and industrial processing activities a promising resource for the production of precious elements. The synthesis and improvement of new adsorbents to extract valuable compounds from industrial wastes and pregnant leach solutions, besides increasing wealth, can play a significant role in reducing environmental concerns. In this work, a new and low-cost adsorbent for the selective extraction of rhenium (perrhenate ions, ReO) was synthesized by the free-radical polymerization (FRP) of a diallyl dimethylammonium chloride monomer (quaternary amine) in the presence of a crosslinker.

Preparation of an innovative series of respiratory nano-filters using polystyrene fibrous films containing KCC-1 dendrimer and ZnO nanostructures for environmental assessment of SO, NO and CO.

Air pollution has become a major challenge that threatens human health. The use of respiratory filters is one of the proposed solutions. In this study, using polystyrene (PS) fibers and various nanomaterials, improved respiratory filters were fabricated to remove air pollutants.

Accelerated synthesis of 1,8-dioxo-octahydroxanthene and 1,8-dioxo-decahydroacridine derivatives using dendritic mesoporous nanosilica functionalized by hexamethylenetetramine: a novel nanocatalyst.

Xanthene and acridine derivatives are interesting organic compounds that are used in different research fields like biomedicine and pharmaceutical science. However, applied catalysts for their synthesis have some limitations such as long reaction times, the need for harsh conditions and low yield. So, discovery of novel catalysts for the synthesis of xanthene and acridine derivatives is highly demanded.

Attenuation properties of hybrid nanocomposite film containing CeO, GO, and α-AlO nanoparticles for high energy radiations.

The use of diagnostic radiation in medical centers has spread due to the incidence of various diseases. Thus, it is essential that patients and medical staff wear protective clothing to protect themselves from their harmful effects. In the past, lead protective clothing has been used; however, the toxicity and heaviness of lead have limited the tendency to use these clothing.

An electrochemical sensor for the detection of arsenic using nanocomposite-modified electrode.

The aim of this research is to develop an electrochemical sensor based on a conducting polymer, polyaniline, and a cationic polymer, poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride), reinforced with graphene oxide nanosheets functionalized with acrylic acid. The two-dimensional nature of acrylic acid functionalized graphene oxide nanosheets and clusters made of conductive polymers and acrylic acid functionalized graphene oxide nanosheets were confirmed by microscopic tests. The prepared nanocomposite was deposited on the glassy carbon electrode in order to prepare an electrochemical sensor for the detection of arsenic by cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry methods.

Utilization of a mixed matrix membrane modified by novel dendritic fibrous nanosilica (KCC-1-NH-CS) toward water purification.

Various nanostructures have been used to improve the performance of nanocomposite membranes. Dendritic fibrous nanosilica (DNFS) is a new nanostructure and its performance as an adsorbent for the removal of pigments has been investigated. In this study, a type of modified dendritic fibrous nanosilica containing CS groups (KCC-1-NH-CS) was synthesized and inserted as an additive into nanocomposite acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) membranes.

Fabrication of chitosan-based electrospun nanofiber scaffold: Amplification of biomechanical properties, structural stability, and seeded cell viability.

The cell scaffolds should structurally be manufactured similar to the target tissue's extracellular matrix. This property should be maintained until cell differentiation. For this purpose, in the current study, electrospun nanofiber (EN) of chitosan (Ch)/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), as a tissue-friend scaffold, was fabricated by electrospinning in different formulations and borax was utilized as an innovative cross-linking agent to up-regulate the structural and biomechanical properties.

Preparation and investigation of poly(methylmethacrylate) nano-capsules containing haloxyfop-R-methyl and their release behavior.

In this study, the preparation and characterization of haloxyfop-R-methyl herbicide loaded in poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) nano-capsules by emulsion polymerization and its release behavior were investigated. The chemical characterizations of PMMA/haloxyfop-R-methyl nano-capsules were confirmed by FT-IR spectroscopy method, and the surface morphology was studied by field emission scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Also, the herbicide loading and encapsulation efficiency were analyzed for the herbicide-loaded nano-capsules.
