Sodium lignosulfonate (SLS) was aminated to obtain a lignin amine (LA) compound, which was subsequently crosslinked with poly(ethylene glycol) diglycidyl ether (PEGDGE) to obtain hydrogels. The chemical structure of the resulting LA-derived hydrogel (LAH) was characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, solid-state C NMR spectroscopy, and elemental analysis, and the interior morphology of the freeze-dried hydrogel was examined by scanning electron microscopy. NMR and FTIR spectroscopy results indicated that the amino groups of LA reacted with PEGDGE in the crosslinking reaction. The lignin content in the resulting hydrogel increased with an increase in the LA/PEGDGE weight ratio in the reaction, approaching a maximum (∼71 wt %) and leveling off. The hydrogel with such a composition happened to be the same as the one prepared by reacting the primary amines of LA and epoxy groups of PEGDGE in equal stoichiometry. These results strongly suggest that the formation of the hydrogel network structure was largely dictated by the reactions between the primary amines and epoxy groups. The gels with lignin contents at this level exhibited a superior swelling capacity, viscoelasticity, and shear properties.

This study focused on simulating the adsorption-based separation of Methylene Blue (MB) dye utilising Oryza sativa straw biomass (OSSB). Three distinct modelling approaches were employed: artificial neural networks (ANN), adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference systems (ANFIS), and response surface methodology (RSM). To evaluate the adsorbent's potential, assessments were conducted using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

As global demand for fossil fuels rises amidst depleting reserves and environmental concerns, exploring sustainable and renewable energy sources has become imperative. This study investigated the pyrolysis of corncob, a widely available agricultural waste, using urea as a catalyst to enhance bio-oil production. The aim was to determine the optimum urea concentration and pyrolysis temperature for bio-oil yield from corncob.

Multiple linear regression models were trained to predict the degree of substitution (DS) of cellulose acetate based on raw infrared (IR) spectroscopic data. A repeated k-fold cross validation ensured unbiased assessment of model accuracy. Using the DS obtained from H NMR data as reference, the machine learning model achieved a mean absolute error (MAE) of 0.

Implantable cardiovascular devices have revolutionized the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, yet their long-term functionality without causing thrombosis is a persistent challenge. Although the surface modification of anticoagulant coating has greatly improved the biocompatibility of the devices, its long-term stability in complex physiological environments still remains questionable. Herein, the stability of three anticoagulant hydrogel coatings, poly(2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine) (PMPC), poly(sodium 2-acryloyl-2-methylpropanesulfonate) (PAMPS), and poly(4-styrenesulfonate sodium) (PSS), is studied.

Ion transport in solid polymer electrolytes is crucial for applications like energy conversion and storage, as well as carbon dioxide capture. However, most of the materials studied in this area are petroleum-based. Natural materials (biopolymers) have the potential to act as alternatives to petroleum-based products and, when derived with ionic liquid (IL) functionalities, present a sustainable alternative for conductive materials by offering tunable morphological, thermal, and mechanical properties.
