Abstract Adsorption is vital for the elimination of Cr6+ and Pb2+ ions in the contaminated solution medium. A ternary blend made up of chitosan, nylon 6 and polyurethane foam (CS/Ny 6/PUF) blend in the ratio of 2:1:1 has been investigated. These blends are used as an adsorbent due to the insoluble nature in acidic and basic medium. The adsorption efficacy was analyzed by modifying pH, contact time, and adsorbent dosage. The maximum uptake of metal ions has been exhibited in the pH range 5. An equilibrium adsorption statistic indicated that adsorption isotherm follows the Freundlich model. The adsorption kinetic parameters specified that the adsorption of chromium has shown pseudo-second-order and lead pseudo-first-order reaction.

Composite materials very often provide new catalytic, optical or other physicochemical properties not observed for each component separately. Photofunctions in hybrid systems are an interesting topic of great importance for industry. This review presents the recent advances, trends and possible applications of photofunctions of hybrid systems composed of Schiff base metal complexes and metal or semiconductor (nano)materials. We focus on photocatalysis, sensitization in solar cells (DSSC—dye sensitized solar cell), ligand-induced chirality and applications in environmental protection for Cr(VI) to Cr(III) reduction, in cosmetology as sunscreens, in real-time visualization of cellular processes, in bio-labeling, and in light activated prodrug applications.

ABSTRACT In this study, attention has been paid to synthesize and investigate pH-sensitive biopolymeric hydrogel from renewable resource-based monomers such as citric acid, pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid, and ethylenediamine through two-step condensation polymerization. The formation of hydrogel and structure of hydrogel were confirmed by Fourier-transform spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-NMR and 13C-NMR) analyses. Thermal stability and glass transition temperature of hydrogel were analyzed by thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry analysis. Swelling studies of the hydrogel at various pH media ranging from 3.0 to 10.0 have also investigated. The swelling behavior of hydrogel increased in acidic media than in basic media. Scanning electron microscopic analysis revealed the spherical shape and porous nature of the hydrogel. The antibacterial activity of hydrogel was investigated against gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) and gram-negative (Escherichia coli) bacterial species at different concentrations. The cytotoxicity study of the hydrogel has been carried out using MTT assay method. Hence, the biopolymeric hydrogel with smart pH sensitivity may be considered an excellent candidate for industrial, environmental, and biological applications. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT

Traditional hydrogels have shown sub-standard multifunctional, mechanical properties in biomedical field. Gold nanoparticles can provided an expanded array of nanostructured materials with exclusive biomedical properties. The nanocomposite hydrogels have expected to exhibit both nanomaterial and hydrogel properties, which may resulted in potential applications in biomedical field. Hence, the present investigation reported simple and greener approach to the preparation and properties of pH-responsive nanocomposite hydrogels (GIAE) based on itaconic acid (IA), acrylic acid, ethylene glycol and colloidal gold nanoparticles. The obtained nanocomposite hydrogels found to have desired exfoliated surface morphology and enhanced pH-sensitive swelling and thermal stability. It also showed appreciable anti-microbial properties due to presence of gold nanoparticles and IA. The cytotoxicity nature of itaconic acid based gold nanocomposite hydrogels were also developed ~ 90% due gold nanoparticles. Moreover, the degradation property of prepared nanocomposite hydrogels have been reduced due to bacterial inhibition tendency of gold nanoparticles.

Reactive dyes are extremely toxic and harmful to the environment even present at very low concentration. In this study, sodium alginate based reusable hydrogels was prepared for the removal of methylene blue from waste water. pH-tunable hydrogels was prepared by the introduction of ionic pendant functionalities on sodium alginate (SA) by the utilization of ethylene glycol and acrylic acid through condensation followed by free radical polymerization. The structure, formation and thermal stability of hydrogel was identified by Fourier transform infra red spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis respectively. Swelling nature at different pH ranges and the humidity contents of both dried and dye adsorbed hydrogels was investigated. The morphology of the dry and dye adsorbed hydrogel was also studied using scanning electron microscopy. The swelling studies infer that pronounced swelling obtained at higher pH than at lower pH. The surface morphology of plain hydrogel before and after adsorption of methylene blue (MB) was examined by SEA analysis. The adsorption tendency of the SEA hydrogel in MB was steadily investigated at different pH, contact time, concentration dye and adsorbent dosage. All prepared hydrogels were performed well in the removal of MB from waste water up to 80–98%. Recycling of hydrogels has a vital role for waste water treatment and it can be done by desorption studies which shows that 0.1 N HCl revealed higher elution efficiency i.e. 90.00%. Furthermore, adsorption–desorption studies suggested that SA based hydrogels contributes to enhance the removal efficacy, which renders the hydrogels well-designed for the efficient removal of cationic dyes (MB). However, polyol based hydrogels have been chosen for an adsorbent because of low-cost, ecofriendly, biocompatible and efficient biosorbents.Graphical Abstract

Abstract The present investigation focused on a new kind of pH-tunable IAD polymeric hydrogels based on itaconic acid (IA), acrylic acid (AA) and diethylene glycol (DEG), were synthesized by free radical polymerization viz. organic solventless approach and they were characterized by FT-IR, SEM analysis. For successive biocompatible hydrogels, biological activities were mainly considered for investigation. The swelling studies showed that the IAD hydrogels exhibited significantly greater pH-responsive swelling in alkaline medium and achieved up to 2200%. The salt responsive behaviour of IAD hydrogels proved that the results of swelling equilibrium decreased with increasing charge of the cation. Since, the prepared hydrogels were anionic in nature, excellent antibacterial zone of inhibition achieved towards gram + ve pathogens. It was found that the IAD hydrogels were performed better antifungal zone of inhibition against C. albicans. The IAD hydrogels pronounced noticeable zone of inhibition towards various pathogens even for pristine (without antibiotic) samples. The prepared itaconic acid based hydrogels were nontoxic due to their IC-50% values. The IAD hydrogels underwent for biodegradation due to n-number of ester moieties. It facilitated, hydrolysis of polymeric skeleton and achieved 88% of degradation. It was found that IA based pH-sensitive polymeric hydrogels were nontoxic with aggregable biomedical properties.
