RESUMO

Conductive polymers (CPs) are typically insoluble in solvents, and devising biocompatible hydrophilic CPs is challenging and imperative to expand the applications of CPs. Herein, sulfated chitosan (SCS) is used as a green dopant instead of toxic poly(styrene sulfonate) (PSS), and SCS:polypyrrole (SCS:PPy) conductive ink is prepared by in situ polymerization. Due to the complex structure between PPy and SCS polyanion, the synthesized SCS:PPy dispersion forms a well-connected electric pathway and confers superior conductivity, dispersion stability, good film-forming ability, and high electrical stability. As proof of our concept, electrochemical sensing utilizing an SCS:PPy-modified screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) was performed towards carbendazim (CBZ). The SCS:PPy on the SPCE surface displayed greater sensitivity to CBZ because the conductive complex structure eased the electrocatalytic action of SCS:PPy by dramatically increasing the current intensity of CBZ oxidation and notably ameliorating stability. The sensor unveils the lowest detection value of 1.02 nM with a linear range of 0.05 to 906 µM for sensing trace CBZ by utilizing the pulse voltammetry technique. Interestingly, this senor shows excellent selectivity towards CBZ due to the formation of substantial interactions between SCS:PPy and CBZ, as demonstrated by molecular simulation studies. Furthermore, this sensor can precisely monitor CBZ in actual fruit and river water samples with satisfactory results. This study sheds light on the design and synthesis of sustainable hydrophilic CPs in the fabrication of sensors.

RESUMO

The search for alternatives to petroleum-based thermoplastic polyamide elastomers (TPAEs) has recently drawn great interest. In this study, a bio-massed TPAE, PA12,36, was synthesized using 1,12-dodecanediamine (DDA) and fatty dimer acid (FDA, PripolTM1009) precursors via catalyst and solvent-free melt polycondensation. The molecular structure and molecular weight of the PA12,36 were characterized by 1H NMR, FTIR, and GPC. PA12,36 displayed a low melting temperature of 85.8 °C, an initial degradation temperature of 425 °C, and a glass-transition temperature of 30.4 °C, whereas it sustained satisfactory tensile strength (10.0 MPa) and superior strain at break (1378%). Furthermore, PA12,36 was foamed by supercritical CO2, and the cell size, cell density, and porosity were determined. The entangled long-chained FDA component generated a physically crosslinked network, which promoted the melt viscosity of PA12,36 against elongations of foam cell growth and increased foamability significantly. As a result, uniform structured cellular foams with a cell diameter of 15-24 µm and high cell density (1011 cells/cm3-1012 cells/cm3) were successfully achieved. The foaming window was widened from 76 to 81 °C, and the expansion ratio was increased from 4.8 to 9.6. Additionally, PA12,36 foam with a physically crosslinked structure presented a better creep shape recovery percentage (92-97.9%) and sturdier dimensional stability. This bio-based PA12,36 foam is a promising candidate to replace petroleum-based thermoplastic elastomer foams for engineering applications, particularly shoe soles.

RESUMO

Renewable polymers with self-healing ability, excellent elongation, hydrophobicity, and selective oil absorption attributes are of interest for an extensive range of applications, such as e-skin, soft robots, wearable devices, and cleaning up oil spills. Herein, two fully renewable eco-friendly polyamide (PA)-based self-healing elastomers (namely, PA36,IA, and PA36,36) were prepared by a facile and green one-pot melt polycondensation of itaconic acid (IA), PripolTM 1009, and PriamineTM 1075 monomers. The molecular structures of these PAs were analyzed by FITR, 1H NMR, and 13C NMR. The distinct structure of these PAs shows superior strain values (above 2300%) and high ambient temperature autonomous self-healing ability. Interestingly, the synthesized renewable PA36,36 showed zero water absorption values and hydrophobic properties with a contact angle of θ = 91° compared to the synthesized PA36,IA and other previously reported PAs. These excellent attributes are due to the low concentration of amide groups, the highly entangled main chains, the intermolecular diffusion, the manifold dangling chains, and the numerous reversible physical bonds within the renewable PAs. Furthermore, the hydrophobic properties may aid in the selective oil absorption of the PA36,36-based foam, for which PA36,36 foam is produced by the green supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) batch foaming process. The PA36,36 foam with a microporous cellular structure showed better absorption capacity and high stability in repeated use. Due to these advantages, these bio-based PAs have potential for the production of eco-friendly self-healing materials, superabsorbent foams, and other polymeric materials.

RESUMO

Bentazone (BEZ) is one of the utmost selective problematic contact-past herbicide with high toxicity for humans owing to feasible contamination of surface and ground water. In this work, an electrochemical sensor has been developed for the sensitive detection of BEZ, based on hierarchically porous three-dimensional (3D) carbon superstructures (CS)-modified electrodes. The CSs (namely, CSHEX, CSPY, CSACN, and CSNOS) were prepared by the pyrolysis process from organic porous polyacrylonitrile (PAN) superstructure particles (namely, PANHEX, PANPY, PANACN, and PANNOS) obtained by free radical polymerization method using different solvents (hexane, pyridine, acetonitrile, and also no solvent). The assembly with the working electrode of CSs causes the electrocatalytic BEZ oxidation by rapid electron transfer compared to the PAN superstructures and bare electrodes. Intriguingly, compared to all electrodes, CSHEX-modified electrode showed the superior electrochemical detection of BEZ at a working potential of 0.99 V (vs. Ag/AgCl), very low detection limit (0.002 µM), wide dynamic linear range (0.03 to 200 µM), high sensitivity (9.95 µA µM-1 cm-2), and excellent reliability. The advanced sensors displayed an intensification of oxidation peak current of BEZ with high selectivity, remarkable sensitivity, and reproducibility for BEZ detection and received satisfactory outcomes designating the application of sensors for the determination of BEZ in river water samples.

RESUMO

The electronic conductivity of the metal oxides is generally increased by hybridization of highly conductive carbon supportive materials. In this present work, we have demonstrated a novel one-pot preparation of cerium niobate (CeNbO4) nanoparticles embedded with graphene oxide (GO/CeNbO4) composite, for ultrasensitive detection of the photographic developing agent, metol (MTL). The as-prepared GO/CeNbO4 was analyzed by various characterization techniques. The intensive characterization techniques were used to affirm the detailed structural moiety, size, morphology, and surface area of GO/CeNbO4. The GO/CeNbO4 modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) affords a superior electrocatalytic activity toward MTL. The obtained amperometric response on the GO/CeNbO4/GCE holding an extremely low level detection of 10 nM and superior sensitivity of 10.97 µA µM-1 cm-2 toward MTL detection. Besides, the GO/CeNbO4/GCE also gives excellent selectivity, stability, repeatability, and reproducibility. We achieved excellent recovery results in real photographic solution and river water samples analysis with great accuracy. This work offers a novel insight into the growth of the carbon-based niobate family with electrochemical sensor applications.

RESUMO

Picloram (PCR), a vastly utilized chlorinated herbicide, is very stable in water and soil with severe ecological and health impacts. It is necessary to establish a fast and highly sensitive technique for accurately detecting trace level PCR in agricultural and environmental samples. We employed a temperature-responsive poly(N-vinylcaprolactam)-tethered multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT-PVCL) decorated gold nanoparticles (Au@MWCNT-PVCL) catalyst on the electrochemical sensor for the sensitive "On/Off" switch-like detection of PCR. The effect of temperature-sensitive catalyst surface chemistry on electrocatalytic activity was scrutinized. Results showed that the hydrophilic surface of PVCL at 25 °C (LCST) that immensely upgraded PCR oxidation on the catalyst in the electrochemical reaction, signifying the "On" state. The detection of the Au@MWCNT-PVCL modified electrode ranged from 0.02-183 µM with a low detection limit (LOD) of 1.5 nM at 40 °C toward PCR. The proposed sensor was successfully used to detect PCR in real agricultural and environmental samples.

RESUMO

The crystallization behavior of novel polyamide 6 (PA6) copolyamides with different amounts of bis (2-aminoethyl) adipamide/adipic acid (BAEA/AA) segment was investigated. The wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) results showed that as the amount of BAEA/AA segment increased to 10 mole%, the crystalline forms of all PA6 copolyamide were transferred from the stable α-form to the unstable γ-form because of the complex polymer structure. According to studies of crystallization kinetics, the Avrami exponent (n) values for all copolyamide samples ranged from 1.43 to 3.67 under isothermal conditions, implying that the crystallization is involved in the two- to three-dimensional growth at a high temperature of isothermal condition. The copolyamides provided a slower crystallization rate and higher crystallization activation energy (ΔEa) than neat PA6. Polyamide containing 10 mole% of BEAE/AA content exhibited a unique crystallization behavior in the coexistence of the α and γ forms. These results deepen our understanding of the relationship between BAEA/AA content, crystal structure, and its crystallization behavior in low-melting PA6, and they make these types of copolyamides useful for their practical application.

RESUMO

In this work, a graphene oxide (GRO)-based temperature-sensitive smart catalytic support material was developed by tethering biodegradable and hydrophilic poly(N-vinylcaprolactam) (PVCL) on a GRO (i.e., GRO-PVCL) surface. GRO-PVCL-supported palladium catalyst (i.e., Pd/GRO-PVCL) was then prepared for tizanidine (TZN) electroreduction. The impact of a temperature-sensitive smart surface on the electrochemical and electrocatalytic properties was examined. Moreover, when the large surface area, excellent electron transfer, and electrochemical catalysis abilities of GRO were combined with the responsive characteristics of PVCL, temperature-triggered reversible electrocatalysis of TZN with enhanced sensitivity has been proved. Results designated that GRO-PVCL exposed the hydrophilic surface at 20 °C, resulting in Pd NPs highly dispersed on the GRO-PVCL surface. Subsequently, the wettability of the Pd catalyst surface arbitrarily adapted to hydrophobicity at 40 °C, which highly enhanced the TZN reduction on the catalyst in electrochemical detection. The synergistic effect amid Pd and GRO-PVCL on Pd/GRO-PVCL improved the electrocatalytic activity of TZN. The detection of TZN with the Pd/GRO-PVCL modified electrode ranged from 0.02 to 276 µM with a low detection limit of 0.0015 µM at 40 °C. The Pd/GRO-PVCL modified electrode also possesses excellent stability, reproducibility, and anti-interference ability. Lastly, the modified electrode attained good recovery results in human urine and human plasma samples for the determination of TZN and also pharmacokinetics study in rat plasma.

RESUMO

In this work, a new family of fully biobased thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPUs) with thermo-induced shape memory is developed. First, a series of TPUs were successfully synthesized by the one-shot solvent-free bulk polymerization of bio-poly(1,3-propylene succinate) glycol (PPS) with various molecular weights (M n = 1000, 2000, 3000, and 4000), 1,4-butanediol (BDO), and 4,4'-methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI). These polyurethanes (PUs) are denoted as PPS-x-TPUs (x = 1000, 2000, 3000, and 4000), where x represents the M n of PPS in the polymers. To determine the effect of the molecular weight of the soft segment of PU, all PPS-TPUs were formed with the same hard segment content (32.5 wt %). The soft segment with high molecular weight in PPS-4000-TPU caused a high degree of soft segment entanglement and formed many secondary bonds. PPS-4000-TPU exhibited better mechanical (tensile strength: 64.13 MPa and hardness: 90A) and thermomechanical properties (maximum loading: 2.95 MPa and maximum strain: 144%) than PPS-1000-TPU. At an appropriate shape memory programming temperature, all synthesized PPS-x-TPUs exhibited excellent shape memory behaviors with a fixed shape rate of >99% and a shape recovery rate of >86% in the first round and 95% in the following rounds. Therefore, these bio-TPUs with shape memory have potential for use in smart fabrics.

RESUMO

Thermo-responsive polymer nanocomposite based on poly (styrene-co-N-isopropylacrylamide) hybrid tungsten dioxide (WO2@PS-co-PNIPAM) was synthesized by a facile ultrasonic irradiation (Frequency; 20 kHz, power; 180 W, calorimetrically determined power; 5.73 W in the bath, and Type; probe) method in the presence of water as inisolv. The as-synthesized WO2@PS-co-PNIPAM modified glassy carbon electrode (WO2@PS-co-PNIPAM/GCE) was acting as a reversibly switched detection for the electrooxidation of metoprolol (MTP), with the thermal stimuli response of the PNIPAM. In below lower critical solution temperature (LCST), the PS-co-PNIPAM expanded to embed the electroactive sites of WO2, and the MTP could not proceed via the polymer to attain electronic transfer, indicating the "off" state. Rather, in above LCST, the PS-co-PNIPAM shrank to reveal electroactive sites and expand cyclic voltammetric background peak currents, the MTP was capable to undergo electro-oxidation reaction usually and produce the response current, indicating "on" state. Additionally, the proposed sensor had excellent sensitivity (2.21 µA µM-1 cm-2), wide dynamic range (0.05-306 µM), and a low limit of detection of 0.03 µM for MTP. Intriguingly, the fabricated sensor demonstrates the good selectivity towards the detection of MTP among the possible interfering compounds. Eventually, the WO2@PS-co-PNIPAM/GCE has been utilized in the analysis of MTP in human blood serum samples.

RESUMO

We report a novel class of chitosan (CS)-based hybrid semi-interpenetrating nanogel catalyst by the reductant-free green synthesis of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) within the CS-poly(methacrylic acid) (Au@CS-PMAA) polymer network. The covalently cross-linked Au@CS-PMAA nanogel with CS chains semi-interpenetrating (semi-IPN) in the PMAA cross-linked network show superior colloidal stability and improved catalytic activity. The synthesized Au@CS-PMAA semi-IPN nanogel was applied as a superior modifier to create a new and sorely selective electrochemical sensing platform for the determination of antileukemic drug 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). The existence of -OH and -COOH groups in the CS and PMAA offers numerous binding sites for 5-FU. This assures the incorporation of Au NPs which affords a larger surface area and ameliorate electrical conductivity. Besides, the synergic effect amid both compounds improves the detection of 5-FU. Under optimal conditions, the constructed sensor offered a good performance in determination of 5-FU with a wide linear range from 0.1-497 µM and low detection limits of 0.03 µM, respectively. Further, this study proved that the fabricated sensor could be useful for analysis of 5-FU in actual human blood serum samples.

RESUMO

Investigating ecofriendly sustainable materials with excellent electrocatalytic activity is a pivotal approach for the analysis field. The present work reports on the preparation of novel three-dimensional (3D) cerium sulfide with gum arabic carbon flowers (Ce2S3/GACFs) via the hydrothermal method by using l-cysteine as a sulfur source, binding, and reducing agents. The intensive characterization techniques were utilized to corroborate the structural moiety, morphology, and size of Ce2S3/GACFs. The obtained 3D Ce2S3/GACF construction has excellent active sites, and hence it prevents the accumulation of carbon flowers. Furthermore, the obtained Ce2S3/GACF/glassy carbon electrode (GCE) could afford a very high electrocatalytic activity, possessing an exceedingly low detection limit of 32 nM, the high sensitivity of 2.65 µA µM-1 cm-2, good repeatability, and high stability for the detection of insecticide imidacloprid (IMC). The Ce2S3/GACF/GCE also provides a wide linear range of 0.05-1266 µM toward IMC detection. The excellent recovery results (90-99.3%) are achieved by using various spiked real food samples at Ce2S3/GACF/GCE. Confidently, this work gives up novel construction of 3D metal-carbon-based bioderived material for its catalytic application in the future.

RESUMO

Urchin-like CuS was grown on xanthan gum-derived carbon nanofibers to obtain a sensor for enzyme-free electrochemical sensing of glucose. The unique nanostructure of the sensor provides a large specific surface, more electrocatalytically active sites, and high electrical conductivity. The voltammetric response to glucose, best measured at around 57 mV (vs. Ag/AgCl (E/V)) in 0.1 M NaOH solution, covers two linear ranges, one from 0.1-125 µM, another from 0.16 to 1.2 mM. The sensitivity is quite high (23.7 µA mM-1 cm-2), and the detection limit is low (19 nM at S/N = 3). The sensor has high selectivity against potentially interfering molecules such as fructose, appreciable operational stability, excellent durability, and good repeatability (with relative standard deviations of 2.3%). It was successfully applied to the determination of glucose in diluted serum samples.

RESUMO

Lanthanum oxide nanomaterials were decorated with carbon black (CB) and grafted with a poly(acrylic acid) nanogel to obtain a composite material (CB-g-PAA/La2O3) for simultaneous determination of acetaminophen (AMP), naproxen (NPX), and theophylline (TPH). The nanogel was synthesized by in-situ free radical polymerization. The composite was dropped onto a glassy carbon electrode (GCE), and the modified GCE displays robust electrocatalytic activity towards AMP, NPX, and TPH, with voltammetric signals that are enhanced compared to a bare GCE. Features of merit for AMP, NPX, and TPH, respectively, include (a) peak potentials of 0.42, 0.85 and 0.12 V (vs. Ag/AgCl), (b) linear ranges from 0.05-887, 0.05-884, and 0.02-888 µM, and (c) detection limits of 20, 35, and 15 nM. The practical applicability of the CB-g-PAA/La2O3/GCE was illustrated by analyzing serum and urine samples. Graphical abstract Schematic presentation of simultaneous electrochemical sensing of acetaminophen (AMP), naproxen (NPX), and theophylline (TPH) in real sample analysis using poly(acrylic acid) nanogel covalently grafted onto a carbon black/La2O3 composite (CB-g-PAA/La2O3/GCE).

RESUMO

A thermo-sensitive poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) covalently grafted carbon nanofibers (CNFs-g-PNIPAM) was designed and synthesized via ultrasonic "grafting-from" strategy for the first time. CNFs-g-PNIPAM could well perform the reversible regulation of hydrophilic/hydrophobic states in aqueous solution upon the switching of the temperature signal. Such distinctive property, CNFs-g-PNIPAM modified glassy carbon electrode (CNFs-g-PNIPAM/GC electrode) shows "on/off" switchability and temperature-tunable electrocatalytic activity towards clothianidin (CLD) that can be stimulated by external temperature. Cyclic voltammetry of CLD at the CNFs-g-PNIPAM/GC electrode displayed higher peak current at 25 °C showing the "on" state; at 40 °C, the peak current was significantly suppressed, showing the "off" state. The CNFs-g-PNIPAM/GC electrode reveal the better electrochemical performance of 'on/off' switching effect compared to virgin PNIPAM, due to the large surface area, good electron-transfer, and an intrinsic property of introduced CNFs. Moreover, this switchable sensing platform allows determining CLD in a good sensitivity (2.32 µA µM-1 cm-2) with a low detection limit (LOD) of 0.03 µM at 25 °C compared to 40 °C (LOD = 1.3 µM). Besides, this method was successfully applied to the determination of CLD in spiked apple extract and lake water samples. The switchable electrocatalytic performance of CNFs-g-PNIPAM/GC electrode may greatly enhance the flexibility of its application in the area of electrochemical sensor and electrocatalysis.

RESUMO

To dates, the facile synthesis of inorganic-coated organic polymer composite has received greater attention in the order of research fields including advanced materials and electrochemical analysis owing to the complementary or synergistic effects. In this context, Pr2O3 and Pr2O3 coated polystyrene (Pr2O3/PS) inorganic-organic colloidal composite were prepared via ultrasound-induced radicals initiated precipitation and dispersion polymerization methods. The synthesized Pr2O3/PS composite was systematically studied by FE-SEM, TEM, EDX, FT-IR, XRD, and XPS analysis. This composite modified glassy carbon electrode (Pr2O3/PS GCE) was utilized to construct a novel electrochemical sensor for the detection assay of chemotherapy agent methotrexate (MTA). Under optimal condition, the designed sensor showed outstanding performance for MTA trace level detection over the linear concentration range of 0.01-236 µM with a detection limit of 0.8 nM for MTA. Furthermore, the prepared sensor accomplished excellent stability and relevant reproducibility, in addition to reliable practical assay in real human blood serum and urine samples. Besides, the possible MTA sensing mechanism of Pr2O3/PS GCE has been deliberated in detail. Our finding suggested that the developed Pr2O3/PS composite might be a favorable material for the fabrication of the high-performance electrochemical sensor.

RESUMO

N¹, N6-bis (4-aminobutyl) adipamide (BABA) diamine and sebacic acid (SA), also called BABA/SA polyamide salt, were used in a typical melt polymerization processes of polyamide 6 (PA6) to form a series of PA6-BABA/SA copolyamides. The effects of BABA/SA on the isothermal crystallization kinetics of PA6-BABA/SA were studied for the first time. An isothermal crystallization analysis demonstrates that the PA6-BABA/SA matrix provided a higher crystallization rate and shorter half-crystallization time than virgin PA6 did. The degree of crystallization of the PA6-BABA/SA30 matrix was also the lowest among all of the samples considered herein. This result is attributed to the high nucleation efficacy of a small amount of BABA/SA in the crystallization of PA6. Values of the Avrami exponent (n) from 1.84 to 3.91 were observed for all of the polyamide samples, suggesting that the crystallization was involved via a two- to three-dimensional growth mechanism. These findings deepen our understanding of the structure⁻property relationship of PA6-BABA/SA copolyamides, favoring their practical application.

RESUMO

Development of novel biocompatible sensor material suitable for modest, cost-effective, and rapid practical application is a demanding research interest in the field of electroanalytical chemistry. In this context, for the first time, we utilized biocompatible chitosan-pectin biopolyelectrolyte (CS-PC BPE) complex for the simultaneous electroreduction of an important antibiotic drug (metronidazole-MNZ) and herbicide (metribuzin-MTZ). This sensor reveals an attractive welfares such as simplicity, biocompatibility, and low production cost. Under optimized experimental conditions, the electroanalytical investigation confirmed that CS-PC BPE modified glassy carbon electrode (CS-PC BPE/GCE) was found to sense MNZ and MTZ in the nanomolar range. Moreover, as-prepared CS-PC BPE/GCE exhibited prominent selectivity, stability, and reproducibility. Additionally, the possible MNZ and MTZ sensing mechanism of CS-PC BPE/GCE have been discussed in detail. Lastly, real sample analysis was also carried out and revealed from several investigations that the CS-PC BPE/GCE is a good electrochemical sensor system for the detection of targeted analytes.

RESUMO

A rapid voltammetric method is described for the determination of the organophosphorus pesticide paraoxon-ethyl (PEL). A glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was modified with a composite consisting of a poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-chitosan microgel with incorporated palladium nanoparticles. The microgel was characterized by FE-SEM, EDX, XPS, FTIR, XRD, and EIS. The modified GCE is shown to enable direct electro-reductive determination of PEL by using differential pulse voltammetry. The method works in pH 7 solution and in the 0.01 µM to 1.3 mM PEL concentration range. At a typical working potential of -0.66 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) (at 50 mV/s), the detection limit is as low as 0.7 nM, and the electrochemical sensitivity is 1.60 µA µM-1 cm-2. Intriguingly, the modified GCE displays good recovery when applied to bok choy and water samples. Graphical abstract Schematic of an electrochemical method for determination of paraoxon ethyl (PEL) in bok choy extract and water by using poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide)-chitosan microgel decorated with palladium nanoparticle-modified glassy carbon electrodes (PdNPs/PNIPAM-CT microgel/GCE).
