AB  - INTRODUCTION: Inflammation  process  in  human  body  can  lead  to  many serious inflammation-related  diseases. Hence, there are urge to find better solution for the treatment of the inflammation processes. Solution can be found in application  ofpoly(methacrylicacid)  hydrogels  which  have  potential  for  targeted  delivery  and  controlled  release  of drugs. These pH-sensitive hydrogelscan swell at the pH values between 5 and 8,and release drug in the process. So,taking into account that pH value at the inflammation site is around 6, these hydrogels are materials of choice. It  is  very  important thatthe system  for  controlled  releasebe  prepared  through mild  and  non-toxic  conditions  in order to preserve bioactivity of the drug andkeep good impact on environment. Enzymes are good candidates for eco-friendly preparation of hydrogels, because these greensubstancescan initiate polymerisation of various monomers. 
EXPERIMENTAL (or Materials and Methods):In this study, hydrogels based on poly(methacrylic acid) were prepared through  eco-friendly  method  by  using enzyme/hydrogen  peroxide(HP)/ascorbic  acid(AA)as  initiator.  Two  groupsof the samples were prepared: in the first group peroxidase isolated from potato peel waste (with activity of 0.8 IU) was used in the initiation system, whereas in the second group peroxidase isolated from soya bean coats (with activity of 0.8  IU) was  employed  in  the  initiation  system.  The  amounts  of HPand AAin  both  series  were  40  μL  and  10  mg, respectively.Anti-inflammatory drugs,dexamethasone(5 mg/mL)and diclofenac(4.5 mg/mL)were encapsulated in the first and the second group of the PMAA samples, respectively. Anti-inflammatory  effect of the PMAA hydrogels  with encapsulated drugs were tested on the Bovine Chondrocytes cells.
RESULTS  AND  DISCUSSION:Results  showed  that  the  level  of  pro-inflammatory  mediators  NO  and  IL-8  decreased. The PCR analysis showed that the proinflammatory TNα, IL-6 genesexpression level decreased, the matrix catabolism MMP1and MMP3 genesexpression level decreased and the fibrotic COL2 and ACAN genes expression level increased.
CONCLUSIONS:The studyshowed that the PMAA hydrogels have anti-inflammatory effect and have potential for treatment of the inflammation processes.

AB  - The Polymer group of the Faculty of Technology and Metallurgy University of Belgrade deals with environment-sensitive hydrogel as carriersfor biomedical applications, including drug delivery, wound healing, and regenerative medicine. The first hydrogel generation synthesized in our labs was discs made of polyacrylamide and its derivatives. The synthesis was at higher temperatures (50 °C), with traditional crosslinker, N, N’-methylenebisacrylamide, and persulphate/pyrosulphate as initiator. Due to the growing demands for environmental sustainability, the general approach changed to reduce petrochemical raw materials and prepare eco-friendly materials focusing on 1) renewable polymers, initiators, and crosslinkers and 2) the application of simple, cost-effective, and eco-friendly approaches in hydrogel synthesis. To obtain the second hydrogel generation, we use renewable polymers: polysaccharides, proteins, and polyhydroxyalkanoates [1]. Still, the mechanical strength was weak. Hence, the applicationof carboxylic acids, methacrylic and itaconic, and N-isopropyl acrylamide improves mechanical properties and enhances the environmental stimuli of the carriers. Instead of traditional crosslinkers -organic molecules, we gave the advantage to plant extracts like genipin, sodium tripolyphosphate, citric acid, and calcium chloride. We made beads, microgels, aerogels, discs, films, and cylinders sensitive to pH, temperature, magnetic field, or specific molecules such as glucose. Facing an everyday challenge, improving drug delivery routes, especially for poorly water-soluble drugs, and finding an alternative to traditional antibiotics, encapsulation, and controlled release remain a challenge. Therefore, we used a mild condition (e.g., deep coating) to encapsulate/release traditional water-soluble and poorly water-soluble drugs, proteins, phenolic compounds, or supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) for thymol, carvacrol, and eugenol, a promising alternative for traditional antibiotics [2]. Furthermore, we reduced the hydrogel production temperature to ambient conditions and made a simple and cost-effective production process that doesn't require special equipment. The promising results we got pushed us further. So, the current research focuses on the encapsulation/controlled release of antioxidant phenolic compounds extracted from orange peel waste by applying ultrasonic-assisted extraction and deep eutectic solvent(DES) based on glycerol: urea: water. We use a new initiator system based on vitamin C and H2O2to polymerizea methacrylic acid[3]that could be useful for other monomers.As a concluding remark, we achieved significant progress in hydrogels encouragingus to continue further.

AB  - Novel polymer network microformulations have been widely used for pharmaceutical applications. Especially challenging is to design and develop an ideal oral drug formulation due to many hostile factors in gastrointestinal (GI) tract microenvironment. Hydrogels attained striking attention for the use in controlled drug delivery systems, and for that purpose temperature- and pH-sensitive hydrogels have been extensively employed. This paper reports synthesis and characterization of innovative polymers-crosslinked hydrogel system consisted of N-isopropylacrylamide-graft-dextran (NiPAAm-g-Dex) and chitosan (Ch). Composition of the system was optimized to demonstrate distinguished encapsulation efficiency (EE) and release properties of diclofenac sodium (DS). The microspheres structure and morphology were confirmed by attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR FT-IR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), respectively. Prepared microparticles have successfully passed through the simulated gastric and small intestine and reached the intestine, where the release of DS was carried out. In vitro release studies showed smooth release profile in a controllable manner with up to 40% release of the model drug after 4 h at pH 7.20 ± 0.01. Based on the results, novel polymer microformulations show excellent potential as controlled release drug delivery system and represent a superb candidate for additional in vivo testing.

AB  - Everyday struggle of humanity with novel diseases and present once, urge researchers to find novel and improve existing therapies to enhance their efficiency and safety. One of the promising approaches to overcome these challenges is controlled release of drugs. Biomaterials based on poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) are excellent drug delivery systems because they can control release rate and released amount of drug. Also, due to their pH sensitivity the PMAA hydrogels can release drug at the site of action. Namely, these nontoxic and biocompatible hydrogels swell in the environment with pH value higher than pKa of PMAA (4.6) and release encapsulated drug during the process. In present study, PMAA hydrogels are synthetized under ambient conditions by simple, cost effective and eco-friendly synthesis. Novel initiation system based on hydrogen peroxide, potato peel peroxidase and vitamin C (VC) is used for the first time for free radical polymerization of PMAA hydrogel. In accordance with the principles of circular economy, peroxidase was isolated from potato peel waste by water extraction for 12 h at 4 ℃. Four PMAA hydrogels were prepared by using potato peel peroxidase with various enzyme activity (0.4; 0.8; 1.2 and 1.8 IU), whereas the amounts of H2O2 (30 mL) and VC (10 mg) have been kept constant. The composition of the PMAA hydrogels was confirmed by FTIR analysis, whereas their porous structure was revealed by SEM. The swelling of the PMAA hydrogels was monitored in two media: 0.1M HCl (as simulation of human stomach) and phosphate buffer with pH 7.4 (as simulation of human intestines). In order to encapsulate anti-inflammatory drug – dexamethasone into the PMAA hydrogels, the hydrogels were immersed into the dexamethasone aqueous solution (5 mg/ml) and left to swell to the equilibrium, after which they were dried at room temperature. Dexamethasone release from the PMAA hydrogels was monitored in the same environments as was the PMAA swelling. The results showed that around seven times higher amount of dexamethasone was released in the medium with pH 7.4 than in the medium with pH 1. Present study has showed that the PMAA hydrogels, prepared through green and eco-friendly method, have huge potential for encapsulation and controlled release of anti-inflammatory drugs and therefore, for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.

Namely, these nontoxic and biocompatible hydrogels swell in the environment with pH value higher than pKa of PMAA (4.6) and release encapsulated drug during the process. In present study, PMAA hydrogels are synthetized under ambient conditions by simple, cost effective and eco-friendly synthesis. Novel initiation system based on hydrogen peroxide, potato peel peroxidase and vitamin C (VC) is used for the first time for free radical polymerization of PMAA hydrogel. In accordance with the principles of circular economy, peroxidase was isolated from potato peel waste by water extraction for 12 h at 4 ℃. Four PMAA hydrogels were prepared by using potato peel peroxidase with various enzyme activity (0.4; 0.8; 1.2 and 1.8 IU), whereas the amounts of H2O2 (30 mL) and VC (10 mg) have been kept constant. The composition of the PMAA hydrogels was confirmed by FTIR analysis, whereas their porous structure was revealed by SEM. The swelling of the PMAA hydrogels was monitored in two media: 0.1M HCl (as simulation of human stomach) and phosphate buffer with pH 7.4 (as simulation of human intestines). In order to encapsulate anti-inflammatory drug – dexamethasone into the PMAA hydrogels, the hydrogels were immersed into the dexamethasone aqueous solution (5 mg/ml) and left to swell to the equilibrium, after which they were dried at room temperature. Dexamethasone release from the PMAA hydrogels was monitored in the same environments as was the PMAA swelling. The results showed that around seven times higher amount of dexamethasone was released in the medium with pH 7.4 than in the medium with pH 1. Present study has showed that the PMAA hydrogels, prepared through green and eco-friendly method, have huge potential for encapsulation and controlled release of anti-inflammatory drugs and therefore, for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.",

idea, itaconic and succinic acids and propylene glycol were used in the synthesis of a biobased
unsaturated polyester, diluted with biobased reactive diluent, dimethyl itaconate, to cure fully
biobased unsaturated polyester resin (UPR). Despite having a low environmental impact, the
mechanical properties of biobased UPRs are not considered commercially viable compared to
their petroleum-based counterparts. To lessen the discrepancy between the two, nanocellulose
(NC) was incorporated into the biobased UPR in two ways. Firstly, NC was added during synthesis,
while secondly it was added after the synthesis of UPR was completed. Both series implied the
use of three different quan s of NC (1, 2, 3 wt.%). FTIR spectroscopy, gel content analysis,
SEM, dynamic mechanical analysis, and uniaxial tensile test were used to characterize obtained
biocomposites. It was demonstrcted that when NC was added during the synthesis, it had no
effect on UPR viscosity. On the other hand, adding NC after the synthesis significantly increased
viscosity. Overall results showed that higher quantities of NC increased tensile strength, storage
modulus at lower frequencies, and decreased glass transition temperature.

AB  - The visible-light-active heterojunctions based on TiO2 were extensively investigated due to their wide range of energy and environment applications. In this study, g-C3N4/titanate heterojunction photocatalyst was successfully prepared by a simple one-step calcination route from melamine and hydrothermally prepared titanates. The photocatalyst was characterized by different physicochemical methods, e.g., X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and N2 physisorption analysis. The photocatalytic efficiency of synthesized photocatalyst was evaluated by single and simultaneous degradation of methylene blue (MB) and orange G (OG) dyes under solar and visible light irradiation. The photocatalyst exhibited improved visible light activity due to the efficient separation of photogenerated charge carriers and enhanced visible light absorption. The degradation of MB was examined under different reaction conditions to assess the influence of initial MB concentration, catalyst loading, and pH on the degradation kinetics. Dye degradation study in the single and binary dye systems revealed that adsorption was limiting step that governs the pollutant degradation order. Radical trapping experiments were performed using different types of scavengers to highlight the difference in photochemical reactions and mechanism of MB and OG dye degradation under different light irradiation. Comparison of the reaction pathways under visible and solar light irradiation supported with determined bandgap edges and photoluminescence (PL) analysis suggested that the g-C3N4/titanate heterojunction belonged to the type II heterojunction.

AB  - Pectin and pectin derived oligosaccharides can be obtained from waste apple pomace
(biomass). Traditional method for pectin extraction involves use of diluted mineral acids at
elevated temperatures, with yields of about 10 to 15%. As an alternative to conventional
methods, the use of eutectic solvents is increasing because of their superior properties
when it comes to targeted extraction of certain components from biomass. The aim of this
paper is ultrasound assisted extraction of pectin from waste apple pomace using choline
chloride based eutectic solvents and lactic acid. Properties of extracted products were
examined using FTIR spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry.

AB  - Replacing styrene with biobased monomers to produce fully biobased unsaturated polyester
resins (UPRs) turned out to be quite a challenging task. Styrene has been recognized as a hazardous
and a potentially carcinogenic substance for human health. Using dimethyl itaconate as an alternative reactive diluent to styrene, which can be obtained from renewable resources, enables low viscosity for easy manipulation of mentioned UPRs. Fully biobased UPRs in question were based on itaconic acid, succinic acid, and propylene glycol, which were then diluted with dimethyl itaconate.
Having in mind that UPRs can be used as a matrix for composite materials, this paper examines the
effect of different weight ratios of spent coffee grounds as a filler. To determine the application of
thus obtained composite materials, characterization consisted of examining mechanical properties
based on viscosity measurements, uniaxial stretching experiments, FTIR spectroscopy and gel content analysis.

AB  - The aim of the present study was to investigate starch-based materials, prepared in an environmentally friendly way and from renewable resources, suitable for the development of biodegradable active food packaging. For this purpose, a bioactive compound (thymol) was incorporated into thermoplastic starch (TPS) and a TPS blend with poly (ε-caprolactone) (TPS–PCL) by the supercritical CO2 (scCO2) impregnation process. Impregnation experiments with scCO2 were carried out at a pressure of 30 MPa and temperatures in the range of 40–100 °C during 1 to 20 h. The structural, morphological, and thermal properties of the obtained materials were comprehensively evaluated. Bioactive component release kinetic studies were performed in water at 6 °C and 25 °C. It was shown that the scCO2 impregnation process could be successfully employed for thymol loading into TPS and TPS–PCL. The process was significantly influenced by the operating temperature and time as well as content of PCL. The samples showed a controlled release of thymol within seven days with a higher amount of released thymol from the TPS–PCL blend. The obtained materials are solvent-free and release the bioactive component in a controlled manner.

AB  - Novel biodegradable and biocompatible formulations of "old" but "gold" drugs such as nystatin (Nys) and amphotericin B (AmB) were made using a biopolymer as a matrix. Medium chain length polyhydroxyalkanoates (mcl-PHA) were used to formulate both polyenes (Nys and AmB) in the form of films (similar to 50 mu m). Thermal properties and stability of the materials were not significantly altered by the incorporation of polyenes in mcl-PHA, but polyene containing materials were more hydrophobic. These formulations were tested in vitro against a panel of pathogenic fungi and for antibiofilm properties. The films containing 0.1 to 2 weight % polyenes showed good activity and sustained polyene release for up to 4 days. A PHA monomer, namely 3-hydroxydecanoic acid (C10-OH), was added to the films to achieve an enhanced synergistic effect with polyenes against fungal growth. Mcl-PHA based polyene formulations showed excellent growth inhibitory activity against both Candida yeasts (C. albicans ATCC 1023, C. albicans SC5314 (ATCC MYA-2876), C. parapsilosis ATCC 22019) and filamentous fungi (Aspergillus fumigatus ATCC 13073; Trichophyton mentagrophytes ATCC 9533, Microsporum gypseum ATCC 24102). All antifungal PHA film preparations prevented the formation of a C. albicans biofilm, while they were not efficient in eradication of mature biofilms, rendering them suitable for the transdermal application or as coatings of implants.

AB  - Two types of polymer waste materials, poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) and polycarbonate based Colombian Resin (CR-39), were used for the designing of fully recycled composite materials. Waste PET was employed for the synthesis of thermoset unsaturated polyester resin (UPR), while CR-39 was used as reinforcement in the UPR matrix. Prior to mixing, CR-39 particles were subjected to oxidation and chemical activation using acids/base and ethanol amine, respectively. The effect of the modifier type and variable loading of the activated CR-39 particles on mechanical and dynamic-mechanical properties of the corresponding composites was investigated. The greatest improvement in the tensile and flexural strength of UPR resin was achieved with the composite containing 0.5 wt% of amine activated filler particles, 96.0% and 62.2%, respectively. The Arrhenius equation was used to calculate the activation energy for glass transition from dynamic mechanical properties measured at various frequencies. The activation energy of the main transition for UPR resin and composites were calculated to be 173 and 350 kJ center dot mol(-1) indicating that reinforcement results in an increase in the energy barrier to macromolecules viscoelastic relaxation. In addition, erosion resistance was studied during exposure of samples to cavitation tests. According to the obtained results, these materials can be applied in construction and mining industry.

AB  - Nowadays, the extensive use of pesticides in crops production puts a significant challenge to minimize its side effects along with safe production, storage, and after-use treatment. This paper reports results related to the emission of certain pesticide formulations through the PET containers, as well as, their mitigation to the PET containers during their storage. The influence of storage time on cypermethrin migration to and through the PET was studied in short-term Collaborative International Pesticides Analytical Council test lasting up to 30 days. The PET containers were filled with pure xylene and pesticide formulations, where the amount of active substance, cypermethrin (CY), varied from 5 to 20 wt%, while the amount of emulsifier was kept constant. The results indicate that pesticide formulations diffuse to PET containers with an average increase of its initial mass up to 1.5%. The most intensive diffusion is in the first 24 months of storage, after its rate significantly decreases. It should be noted that the diffusion studied pesticide formulations are also very dependent on CY concentration. Besides the migration to the PET containers, it was also found that pesticide formulation was emitted through the PET containers in the first 17 to 24 months of storage depending on CY concentration. Emission rates were also dependent on CY concentration and were in the range of 15.3 to 38.0 mg/month center dot container. The emission through the PETcontainers was successfully predicted using artificial neural networks with R-2 = 0.94 and the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) of only 6.2% on testing.

AB  - Textile industry wastewater represents a serious environmental problem because it contains different dyes and toxic substances used during the production and dyeing of textile. Thus, it is necessary to investigate the removal of dyes from wastewater using a simple method such as sorption. Since different salts are used during the dyeing of textile, anions and cations are present in wastewaters and they can affect the process of dye removal. In this paper, the influence of several anions on the removal of textile dyes was investigated. Chitosan and methacrylic acid-based hydrogels obtained by free-radical polymerization and cross-linked with N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide were used as sorbents. Removal of two textile dyes was investigated (anionic dye C.I. Acid Orange 7 and cationic dye C.I. Basic Red 1) at two different temperatures (25 and 50 ° C). The influence of anions on the removal was evaluated using sodium compounds dissolved in dye solutions (NaCl, CH3COONa, Na2CO3, Na2HPO4, NaH2PO4, NaNO3, NaOH). It has been found that hydrogel degree of swelling increased significantly with the increase of pH of the dye solution. The presence of different ions affected the sorption capacity of hydrogels and the best results were obtained when NaH2PO4 and NaNO3 were present.

AB  - With the excessive risks that are present in today's environment, it is of great importance to treat wastewaters before their discharge in water streams. One of the everyday challenges is design of a low-cost and environmentally friendly sorbent such as hydrogel based on chitosan, itaconic and methacrylic acid that can remove wide range of textile dyes. In the present study, this hydrogel has been utilized for investigation of removal of three different azo dyes from simulated textile wastewater: C.I. Basic Blue 9, C.I. Basic Red 1 and C.I. Acid Orange 7. It was found that pH value of the solution had significant effect on dye sorption. Removal of basic dyes was successful at higher pH values, while sorption of acid dye was possible only at low pH value of solution. Simulated textile wastewater is a complex system with various salts, acids and polymers present beside dyes. Regardless of these components, excellent sorption capacity was achieved (more than 80% of dyes were removed), which makes this hydrogel attractive for use under real conditions.
AB  - Zbog sve više rizika koji se javljaju po životnu sredinu, veoma je važno prečistiti otpadne vode pre njihovog ispuštanja u vodotokove. Zato je jedan od izazova današnjih istraživanja dizajn jeftinog i ekološki prihvatljivog sorbenta, kao što je hidrogel na bazi hitozana, itakonske i metakrilne kiseline, koji može da ukloni širok spektar tekstilnih boja. U ovom radu je korišćen hidrogel za ispitivanje uklanjanja tri različite azo boje iz simulirane otpadne vode iz tekstilne industrije: C.I. Basic Blue 9, C.I. Basic Red 1 i C.I. Acid Orange 7. Utvrđeno je da pH vrednost rastvora značajno utiče na sorpciju boja. Uklanjanje baznih boja je uspešno pri višim pH vrednostima, dok je sorpcija kisele boje moguća samo pri niskoj pH vrednosti rastvora. Simulirana otpadna voda iztekstilne industrije je složen sistem sačinjen od različith soli, kiselina i polimera koji su prisutni pored boja za tekstil. Bez obzira na ove komponente, ostvaren je odličan kapacitet sorpcije (uklonjeno je više od 80% boje iz rastvora), što ovaj hidrogel čini atraktivnim za upotrebu u realnim sistemima.

Simulated textile wastewater is a complex system with various salts, acids and polymers present beside dyes. Regardless of these components, excellent sorption capacity was achieved (more than 80% of dyes were removed), which makes this hydrogel attractive for use under real conditions., Zbog sve više rizika koji se javljaju po životnu sredinu, veoma je važno prečistiti otpadne vode pre njihovog ispuštanja u vodotokove. Zato je jedan od izazova današnjih istraživanja dizajn jeftinog i ekološki prihvatljivog sorbenta, kao što je hidrogel na bazi hitozana, itakonske i metakrilne kiseline, koji može da ukloni širok spektar tekstilnih boja. U ovom radu je korišćen hidrogel za ispitivanje uklanjanja tri različite azo boje iz simulirane otpadne vode iz tekstilne industrije: C.I. Basic Blue 9, C.I. Basic Red 1 i C.I. Acid Orange 7. Utvrđeno je da pH vrednost rastvora značajno utiče na sorpciju boja. Uklanjanje baznih boja je uspešno pri višim pH vrednostima, dok je sorpcija kisele boje moguća samo pri niskoj pH vrednosti rastvora. Simulirana otpadna voda iztekstilne industrije je složen sistem sačinjen od različith soli, kiselina i polimera koji su prisutni pored boja za tekstil. Bez obzira na ove komponente, ostvaren je odličan kapacitet sorpcije (uklonjeno je više od 80% boje iz rastvora), što ovaj hidrogel čini atraktivnim za upotrebu u realnim sistemima.",

AB  - The aim of this paper is to present image analysis as a useful technique for fast, reliable and non-destructive detection of dimensional and structural changes in polymers. The possibility of applying image analysis was demonstrated in the case of solvent-induced crystallization of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) containers filled with commonly used organic solvents: chlorobenzene, isophorone, xylene, Espesol, Shellsol A 100, Solvesso 150, propylene glycol, glycerin and water and subjected to the storage stability test at 54 degrees C for 14 days (CIPAC 1-MT 46.1.3). In addition, the obtained results were analyzed using one-step analysis of variance (ANOVA) combined with the Duncan's statistical test (p lt 0.05). According to the achieved results, three main impacts of the presented paper could be distinguished: 1) dimensional and transparency changes could be precisely followed by image analysis in both following cases: for small changes in water, as well as for significant ones in chlorobenzene; 2) a correlation between the changes in the degree of crystallinity and transparency could be obtained without the continuous material testing by DSC; 3) image analysis is potentially applicable for assessment of other crystalline polymers.

AB  - This study discusses utilization of supercritical carbon dioxide for impregnation of cellulose acetate films with thymol in order to produce material with anti-biofilm activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus. Analysis of anti-biofilm activity of cellulose acetate beads impregnated with thymol suggested that optimal thymol loading was in the range from 26% to 30% for efficient reduction of biofilm formation and eradication of pre-formed biofilms. Polymer films were fabricated by the solvent casting method from polymer solutions of different contents, and loaded with thymol using supercritical carbon dioxide at 15.5 MPa and 35 degrees C. The film containing 30% of thymol (F1 30%) exhibited substantial anti-adhesion properties inhibiting biofilm formation on its surface and considerably reduced formation of biofilms on the surrounding surfaces (up to 80%) by all tested strains including antibiotic resistant P. aeruginosa DM50 and methicillin-resistant S. aureus.

AB  - Supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO(2)) technology was used for preparation of functional pH sensitive chitosan-based aerogels characterized with micron size pores and their impregnation with thymol as a natural bioactive substance. Hydrogels based on chitosan, itaconic and methacrylic acids were transformed to alcogels and dried in the air or with scCO(2) to obtain xero- and aerogels, respectively. Applying 10 min of static and 120 min of dynamic scCO(2) drying at 11 MPa and 45 degrees C followed with the decompression at a rate of 1 MPa/min yielded an advantageous aerogel with favorable swelling kinetics and elasticity, compared to the xerogel and aerogels obtained at other decompression rates and drying times. This aerogel was successfully loaded with thymol (up to 4.6 wt.%) using supercritical scCO(2) at 10 MPa and 35 degrees C. In vitro studies of swelling in PBS at 37 degrees C indicated a great potential of the obtained stimuli-responsive chitosan gels for topical administration of thymol known for antimicrobial, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities.

AB  - The aim of this study was the development of novel polysaccharide based films intended to be used as edible food packaging material. The films were prepared by solution casting method using highly methoxylated pectin (PEC) and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) of various molecular weights (400, 600 and 1000 gmol(-1)) in different ratios (5:1, 3:1 and 1:1). The film formation was supported by hydrogen bonding between PEC and PEG, which was evidenced by means of ATR-FTIR and NMR analysis. TGA revealed that generally PEG behaves like a pro-degrading agent for pectin, except in the case of PEC/PEG film with a ratio of 1:1. Furthermore, DSC thermograms indicated that PEG1000 exists as a separate phase in the pectin matrix while the formulations with PEG400 and PEG600 showed mainly amorphous morphology. The addition of PEG enhanced the plasticization of PEC films, as evidenced by progressive decreasing of the glass transition temperature values (T-g). The tensile test measurements showed that increasing concentration of PEG produced weaker and more flexibile films. Due to the increased molecular mobility, the pectin phase became more permeable to water vapor as the PEG concentration increased. The obtained results showed that the combination of both polymers resulted in interesting bio -inspired edible films with the potential to compete with commercially used synthetic package materials.

The films are prepared by solvent-casting method with different carboxymethyl cellulose content and cross-linker concentration (Ca2+ ions) in the presence of glycerol as a plasticizer. FT-IR spectra of the prepared films propose that carboxyl group from pectin are mainly involved in interactions with CMC, whereas -OH groups are mainly involved in self-associated hydrogen bonding of neat polymers. Further, an addition of carboxymethyl cellulose improved mechanical properties compared to pure pectin films, while TGA analysis confirmed satisfying thermal stability regarding their potential application as packaging material. Finally, water vapor permeability values are in the range of 1.32x10(-7) up to 2.03x10(-7) wg/m h Pa.

AB  - In this study, alcalase (protease from Bacillus licheniformis) immobilization by adsorption, enzyme crosslinking and covalent enzyme binding to activated chitosan microbeads were examined. The biocatalysts highest activity was obtained by covalent immobilization of alcalase onto a solid support. The alcalase covalent immobilization onto different types of chitosan beads obtained by inverse emulsion technique and electrostatic extrusion was studied. Parameters examined under different conditions were beads diameter, enzyme loading, enzyme capacity yield, and biocatalyst activity. The highest activity and enzyme loading of 23.6 IU/mg protein and 340.2 mg/g, respectively, were achieved by the enzyme immobilized onto chitosan microbeads obtained by the electrostatic extrusion technique. FT-IR analysis was used to confirm formation of alcalase-chitosan conjugates. The activity of optimally produced alcalase-chitosan microbeads was then verified in the industrially feasible reaction systems of egg white and soy protein hydrolysis. The high degree of hydrolysis of 29.85 +/- 0.967% after 180 min and five successive reuses obtained under real conditions (50 A degrees C, pH 8) verified the covalently bound alcalase to chitosan beads a promising candidate for use in industrial egg white protein hydrolysis process.

The highest activity and enzyme loading of 23.6 IU/mg protein and 340.2 mg/g, respectively, were achieved by the enzyme immobilized onto chitosan microbeads obtained by the electrostatic extrusion technique. FT-IR analysis was used to confirm formation of alcalase-chitosan conjugates. The activity of optimally produced alcalase-chitosan microbeads was then verified in the industrially feasible reaction systems of egg white and soy protein hydrolysis. The high degree of hydrolysis of 29.85 +/- 0.967% after 180 min and five successive reuses obtained under real conditions (50 A degrees C, pH 8) verified the covalently bound alcalase to chitosan beads a promising candidate for use in industrial egg white protein hydrolysis process.",

AB  - To produce well-defined metal clusters stabilized in protective matrix, poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNi-PAAm) hydrogel with different initial concentration of polymer was used as nanoreactor. The in situ synthesis of well dispersed silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) was performed by gamma irradiation. The obtained AgNPs are spherical in shape with the diameter less than 20 nm. Crystalline properties of nanoparticles such as size, texture coefficient, strain, stress, lattice parameter, d-spacing, and dislocation density have been calculated using XRD data. Results confirm that the changes of lattice parameter of crystalline AgNPs sensitively reflect their state of strain and stress depending on the formation conditions (i.e., on the concentration of PNiPAAm) and on the diameter of AgNPs. The negative lattice strain and compression stress were observed for the smaller AgNPs (lattice contraction), while for the larger AgNPs are positively strained and under tensile stress (lattice expansion). XPS spectra revealed the donor-acceptor type of interaction between carbonyl oxygen from PNiPAAm and AgNPs (positive shift of high BE component of O 1s and negative shift of Ag 3d BE). The greater dislocation density of smaller AgNPs incorporated in more concentrated PNiPAAm, resulted in more binding sites and stronger interaction with polymer.

AB  - Poslednjih godina sve više pažnje se posvećuje spajanju legura aluminijuma i drugih metalnih
materijala lepljenjem pomoću odgovarajućih adheziva. Time se obezbeđuje spajanje metala u
slučajevima kada uobičajeni postupci zavarivanja nisu mogući. Na tržištu postoji veliki broj
različitih adheziva za čiju izradu se koriste komponente dobijene iz petrohemijskih izvora koje su
štetne po zdravlje ljudi i životnu sredinu. Zbog toga je trend u industriji adheziva da se ove
komponente delimično ili u potpunosti zamene netoksičnim materijalima dobijenim iz obnovljivih
izvora, a da se pri tome zadrži efikasnost adheziva.
U radu je ispitana mogućnost izrade adheziva za spajanje metala u kome je komercijalna epoksidna
smola potpuno ili delimično zamenjena sa prirodnim polimerima, hitozanom i/ili natrijumalginatom. Oko 40 mas.% epoksidne smole je uspešno zamenjeno prirodnim polimerima pri čemu
postignuta jačina adhezije odgovara željenoj vrednosti (4-5 MPa), a u pojedinim slučajevima je i
veća u odnosu na komercijalnu epoksidnu smolu. Optimalni uslovi za postizanje ove vrednosti su
70 C i 24 h. Uočeno je da je tretman površine neposredno pre lepljenja veoma bitan i da ima veliki
uticaj na efikasnost lepljenja, kao i da prisustvo vode smanjuje jačinu adhezije. Pomoću adheziva
kod kojih je 25 mas.% epoksi smole zamenjeno prirodnim polimerima uspešno su zalepljeni delovi

AB  - The present work was aimed to study swelling kinetics of polylactic acid (PLA) and its impregnation with thymol in supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) medium. The influences of temperature and soaking time on the swelling kinetics and impregnation yield of PLA cylindrical disc and film were investigated. Swelling experiments were performed in a high pressure view cell at 10 MPa and temperatures of 40°C, 60°C and 75°C for 2 to 24 h. On the basis of swelling kinetics, pressure of 10 MPa and temperature of 40°C were chosen for supercritical solvent impregnation (SSI) of the PLA samples during 2 to24 h. The highest swelling extent was observed for the PLA monolith after 24 h treatment with pure scCO2 (7.5%) and scCO2 with thymol (118.3%). It was shown that sufficiently high amount of thymol can be loaded into both PLA monolith and film using SSI after only 2 h (10.0% and 6.6%, respectively). Monolith and film of PLA impregnated with thymol could be suitable for active food packaging and sterile medical disposables.
AB  - Prikazana studija je namenjena ispitivanju kinetike bubrenja polilaktida (PLA) i njegovoj impregnaciji timolom u natkritičnom ugljenik(IV)-oksidu (nkCO2). Praćen je uticaj temperature i operativnog vremena na kinetiku bubrenja i prinos impregnacije PLA cilindričnog diska i filma. Eksperimenti bubrenja su izvedeni u ćeliji za rad pod visokim pritiscima na 10 MPa and 40°C, 60°C i 75°C od 2 h do 24 h. Na osnovu kinetike bubrenja, natkritična impregnacija uzoraka PLA timolom je izvedena na pritisku od 10 MPa i temperaturi od 40°C tokom 2 do 24 h. Najveći stepen bubrenja je imao PLA disk na 10 MPa i 40°C nakon 24 h (7,5%) u sistemu sa čistim nkCO2 i u sistemu sa timolom (118,3%). Pokazano je da se dovoljno visok prinos impregnacije timola može postići nakon 2 h (10,0% za disk i 6,6% za film). PLA u formi diska i filma impregnirani timolom su pogodni materijali za aktivno pakovanje hrane i za sterilni medicinski pribor.
