Although face masks might protect us against the COVID-19 virus, inappropriate disposal of used face mask can have a negative impact on the environment. As a result, it is critical to analyse the consumption of face masks and its Life Cycle Assessment to explore the environmental consequences for long-term development. In this study, the observation on the consumption of face masks have been divided into 2 periods of time, which were the period of March 2019 to March 2020 (before COVID-19 epidemic) and the period of April 2020 to April 2021 (during COVID-19 epidemic). Malaysia is estimated to consume 8,398,943 pieces of face masks per month before the COVID-19 epidemic and 62,992,074 pieces of face masks per month during the COVID-19 epidemic. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is carried out in this work to investigate the environmental impacts of both period of time by assessing the input and output of the face masks in a cradle-to-grave manner. OpenLCA software were used by adapting consequential system model based on ReCiPe 2016 (H) method as impact assessment method. In overall, RFL washable face mask is found to provide a lower environmental impact when compared to 3-ply surgical face mask in terms of the ReCiPe midpoint and endpoint indicator, which included Global Warming Potential, Photochemical Oxidant Formation Potential, Toxicity Potential, Ecosystem Quality, Human Health and Resource Depletion.
Effect of calcination temperature on the physicochemical properties of natural hydroxyapatite derived from Catla fish bone

The aim of this research is to investigate the effect of calcination temperature on the crystallinity and composition of hydroxyapatite derived from Catla bone waste using thermal calcination approach. To achieve this, bone waste was first cleaned and then thermally treated at varying calcination temperatures (650°C, 750°C, and 900°C) to yield hydroxyapatite. XRD and FTIR analyses revealed that elevating the calcination temperature leads to higher crystallinity and a reduction in carbonate content within the hydroxyapatite structure. FTIR analysis also revealed that calcination of Catla bone from 650 to 750 ·C will form B-type carbonated hydroxyapatite. Nonetheless, a biphasic calcium phosphate mixture, which is ascribed to the decomposition of hydroxyapatite phase into tricalcium phosphate was observed for product sintered at 900 ·C. Meanwhile, EDS analysis revealed the existence of trace elements, including Mg, K, Na, Si, and Sr within the crystal structure of all calcined products, irrespective of the employed calcination temperature. In conclusion, a calcination temperature of 650 °C emerged as the optimal choice for HAp extraction from Catla fish bone. This temperature not only maintained lower crystallinity but also preserved carbonate content, yielding single-phase HAp with properties well-suited for bone tissue engineering application.
Characterization of carbon nanotubes reinforced PVOH polymer composites added with calcined clam shells with the presence of electron beam irradiation

The objective of this research is to scrutinize the effect of electron beam irradiation and filler (calcined clam shell and carbon nanotube) addition on the characteristics of the resulting polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) blends. Herein, PVOH/calcined clam shells/carbon nanotube (CNT) blends were prepared by solution casting, which followed by electron beam irradiation treatment at the irradiation dosage of 10 and 30 kGy. It was revealed that the addition of CNT and calcined clam shell enhances the tensile strength and elongation at break at 10 kGy irradiation dosage. On the other hand, when 30 kGy irradiation was applied on PVOH blends, high loading of calcined clam shell reduces the tensile strength and elongation at break, while increasing the loading of CNTs increases the tensile strength and elongation at break of PVOH blends. For scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis, the amount of fibrous presence in fractured part of PVOH blend increased and size of fibrous became thinner and longer when irradiation increased. Besides, a smoother surface can be observed with increased loading of CNTs, while more fibrous are observed with increased of calcined clam shell.
Preparation and mechanical properties of graphite nanosheet/nylon 610 nanocomposites using graphite nanosheets treated with supercritical water

In this study, water at high temperature (175°C) and in vacuum state (−1 bar) is applied to graphite nanosheets to enhance surface activity through the formation of oxygen functionalities via supercritical water treatment. The nylon 610 nanocomposites (with treated or untreated nanosheets as nanofillers) was then synthesized using interfacial polymerization. X‐ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showed that the water treatment had not altered the crystal structure of the graphite nanosheets. On average, the Young's modulus and tensile strength of the nanocomposites are larger than the pure nylon 610 created, with the highest Young's modulus and tensile strength obtained being 137.44 MPa and 930.49 kPa, respectively. The tensile strength of treated nanosheets/nylon nanocomposites generally decreased with increasing wt%; while, that of untreated nanosheets/nylon nanocomposites increased with increasing wt%. This enhancement in mechanical properties can be attributed to the functionalization of graphite nanosheets, which may yield a slight oxidation on its surface, allowing for stronger interaction between the nylon 610 matrix and the nanosheets. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra also showed the presence of hydrogen bonding between the carbon nanofillers and the polymer matrix through the appearance of amide bands. Furthermore, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed that at higher wt%, aggregation will occur, which may lead to a weakening in physical properties. Nevertheless, this improvement in mechanical properties when compared with pure nylon 610 can be attributed to the intact structure of the nanosheets and the chemical bonding between the nanofillers and nylon 610.
