AB  - Of major interest, especially in city environments, and increasingly inside vehicles or industrial plants, is the drive to reduce human exposure to nitrogen oxides (NOx). This trend has drawn increasing attention to filtration, which has developed remarkably owing to the capabilities of recently developed mathematical models and novel filter concepts. This paper reports on the study of the kinetic modelling of adsorption of nitrogen dioxide (NO2), collected from the tailpipe of a diesel engine, reacting to calcium nitrate salt (Ca(NO3)2) on a surface flow filter consisting of a coating of fine ground limestone or marble (CaCO3) in combination with micro-nanofibrillated cellulose (MNFC) acting as binder and humectant applied onto a multiply recycled newsprint substrate. The coating and substrate are both porous, but on different pore size scales, with the coating having significantly lower permeability. To maximise gas-coating contact, therefore, the coating deposition is pixelated, achieved by pin coating. An axially dispersed gaseous plug flow model (dispersion model) was used to simulate the transport within the coating pore network structure, following earlier flow modelling studies, and a kinetic reaction model was used to examine NO2 to NO3− conversion in correlation with experimental results. Modelling results indicate a 60.38% conversion of exposed NO2 gas to Ca(NO3)2 under the specific conditions applied, with an absolute relative error between the predicted and experimentally estimated value being 0.81%. The model additionally enabled a prediction of effects of changing parameters over a limited perturbation range, thus assisting in predicting filter element consumption, with attention given to the active component CaCO3 surface as a function of particle size in relation to the gas contact exchange, promoting the reaction over time. It is intended that the Ca(NO3)2 formed from the reaction can go on to be used as a value-added fertiliser, thus contributing to circular economy. Graphical abstract: (Figure presented.)

AB  - Unlike established coating formulations, functional particulate coatings often demand the omission of polymer dispersant so as to retain surface functionality. This results in heterogeneous complex rheology. We take an example from a novel development for an NOx mitigation surface flow filter system, in which ground calcium carbonate (GCC), applied in a coating, reacts with NO2 releasing CO2. Inclusion of mesoporous ancillary mineral acts to capture the CO2. The coating is applied as droplets to maximize gas-contact dynamic by forming a pixelated 2D array using a coating device consisting of protruding pins, which are loaded by submersion in the aqueous coating color such that the adhering droplets are transferred onto the substrate. The flow is driven by surface meniscus wetting causing lateral spread and bulk pore permeation. Filamentation occurs during the retraction of the pins. Stress-related viscoelastic and induced dilatancy in the suspension containing the ancillary mesoporous mineral disrupts processability. Adopting shear, oscillation and extensional rheometric methods, we show that the inclusion of an ancillary mineral that alone absorbs water, e.g., perlite (a naturally occurring porous volcanic glass), is rheologically preferable to one that in addition to absorbing water also immobilizes it on the mineral surface, e.g., sepiolite. When including micro-nanofibrillated cellulose (MNFC), critical for maintaining moisture to support NO2 sorption, it is observed that it acts also as a flow modifier, enabling uniform coating transfer to be achieved, thus eliminating any possible detrimental effect on mineral surface activity by avoiding the use of soluble polymeric dispersant.

AB  - Ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride [BMIM][Cl] was used to prepare cellulose (CELL), cellulose/polycaprolactone (CELL/PCL), cellulose/polycaprolactone/keratin (CELL/PCL/KER), and cellulose/polycaprolactone/keratin/ground calcium carbonate (CELL/PCL/KER/GCC) biodegradable mulch films. Attenuated Total Reflectance Fourier-Transform Infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy, optical microscopy, and Field-Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM) were used to verify the films’ surface chemistry and morphology. Mulch film made of only cellulose regenerated from ionic liquid solution exhibited the highest tensile strength (75.3 ± 2.1 MPa) and modulus of elasticity of 944.4 ± 2.0 MPa. Among samples containing PCL, CELL/PCL/KER/GCC is characterized by the highest tensile strength (15.8 ± 0.4 MPa) and modulus of elasticity (687.5 ± 16.6 MPa). The film’s breaking strain decreased for all samples containing PCL upon the addition of KER and KER/GCC. The melting temperature of pure PCL is 62.3 °C, whereas that of CELL/PCL film has a slight tendency for melting point depression (61.0 °C), which is a characteristic of partially miscible polymer blends. Furthermore, Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) analysis revealed that the addition of KER or KER/GCC to CELL/PCL films resulted in an increment in melting temperature from 61.0 to 62.6 and 68.9 °C and an improvement in sample crystallinity by 2.2 and 3.0 times, respectively. The light transmittance of all studied samples was greater than 60%. The reported method for mulch film preparation is green and recyclable ([BMIM][Cl] can be recovered), and the inclusion of KER derived by extraction from waste chicken feathers enables conversion to organic biofertilizer. The findings of this study contribute to sustainable agriculture by providing nutrients that enhance the growth rate of plants, and hence food production, while reducing environmental pressure. The addition of GCC furthermore provides a source of Ca2+ for plant micronutrition and a supplementary control of soil pH.

AB  - Biodegradable mulch films from cellulose (CELL), cellulose/polycaprolactone (CELL/PCL),
cellulose/polycaprolactone/keratin (CELL/PCL/KER) and cellulose/polycaprolactone/keratin/ground calcium carbonate (CELL/PCL/KER/GCC) were prepared using Ionic liquid as a green
solvent. Pure cellulose biopolymer is characterised by better mechanical properties (tensile
strength - force per unit cross-sectional area at breakage - of 75.3 MPa and modulus of elasticity
of 944.4 MPa) than the other studied samples which is attributed to the formation of partially
miscible polymer blends. Among samples containing PCL, CELL/PCL/KER/GCC has the highest
tensile strength and modulus of elasticity. The addition of KER or KER/GCC to CELL/PCL films
resulted in an increment in melting temperature and an improvement of sample crystallinity. The
light transmittance of all films was >60 %. The incorporation of KER enhanced the
biodegradability of the biocomposites, while KER/GCC addition slightly inhibited degradation
due to an increased hydrophobicity and crystallisation growth of semi-crystalline biopolymers.
The reported method for mulch film preparation is green and recyclable, and, when including a
readily available source of KER, such as by extraction from waste chicken feathers, enables
conversion to organic biofertiliser. The findings of this study contributed to sustainable agriculture
by providing nutrients that enhance the growth speed of the plant, and hence food production, and
reduce environmental pressure. Inclusion of GCC additionally provides not only Ca2+ for plant
consumption but also soil pH control.

abstract = "Biodegradable mulch films from cellulose (CELL), cellulose/polycaprolactone (CELL/PCL),
cellulose/polycaprolactone/keratin (CELL/PCL/KER) and cellulose/polycaprolactone/keratin/ground calcium carbonate (CELL/PCL/KER/GCC) were prepared using Ionic liquid as a green
solvent. Pure cellulose biopolymer is characterised by better mechanical properties (tensile
strength - force per unit cross-sectional area at breakage - of 75.3 MPa and modulus of elasticity
of 944.4 MPa) than the other studied samples which is attributed to the formation of partially
miscible polymer blends. Among samples containing PCL, CELL/PCL/KER/GCC has the highest
tensile strength and modulus of elasticity. The addition of KER or KER/GCC to CELL/PCL films
resulted in an increment in melting temperature and an improvement of sample crystallinity. The
light transmittance of all films was >60 %. The incorporation of KER enhanced the
biodegradability of the biocomposites, while KER/GCC addition slightly inhibited degradation
due to an increased hydrophobicity and crystallisation growth of semi-crystalline biopolymers.
The reported method for mulch film preparation is green and recyclable, and, when including a
readily available source of KER, such as by extraction from waste chicken feathers, enables
conversion to organic biofertiliser. The findings of this study contributed to sustainable agriculture
by providing nutrients that enhance the growth speed of the plant, and hence food production, and
reduce environmental pressure. Inclusion of GCC additionally provides not only Ca2+ for plant
consumption but also soil pH control.",

AB  - Cellulose as the most abundant natural polymer holds great potential as a raw material for the preparation of both sustainable and economically viable polymeric products hitherto predominantly produced from synthetic fossil-based polymers. However, the utilization of cellulose to its full potential is constrained by its recalcitrance to chemical processing. Prior to processing and conversion into valuable products, cellulose needs to be dissolved and then regenerated via an efficient, energy-saving, and environmentally benign route. In the late 1990s, ionic liquids (ILs)have been re-discovered as the most promising cellulose solvents. The application of these novel, green solvents is discussed in detail. The subsequent regeneration of cellulose solutions from these solvents into various products such as fibers, films, membranes, beads, aerogels, hydrogels, and composites including all-cellulose composites, as well as their application in biomedicine, sorption, agriculture, packaging, and thermal insulation, have been reviewed. The properties of the regenerated cellulose material can be additionally tuned by the proper choice of the experimental conditions such as temperature and polarity of the coagulation medium. Furthermore, recycling and converting waste paper and cardboard into high-value materials have been discussed. The recyclability of ILs is one of the challenges to making the process cost-effective and environmentally benignthat scientists and technologists dealing with cellulose processing need to solve.
AB  - Celuloza kao najzastupljeniji prirodni polimer ima veliki potencijal kao sirovina za proizvodnju kako održivih tako i ekonomski isplativih polimernih proizvoda koji su se do sada pretežno proizvodili od sintetičkih polimera na bazi petrohemijskih sirovina. Međutim, korišćenje celuloze u njenom punom potencijalu je ograničeno njenom otpornošću na hemijske tretmane. Pre obrade i konverzije u vredne proizvode, celulozu treba rastvoriti, a zatim regenerisati efikasnim, energetski štedljivim i ekološki benignim putem. Krajem 1990-ih, jonske tečnosti (ILs) su ponovo otkrivene kao najperspektivniji rastvarači celuloze. U radu je detaljno razmatrana primena ovih novih, zelenih rastvarača, kao i regeneracija celuloze rastvorene u jonskim tečnostima u različite proizvode kao što su vlakna, filmovi, membrane, sfere, aerogelovi, hidrogelovi i kompoziti, uključujući i kompozite celuloza-celuloza, i primena ovih proizvoda u biomedicini, poljoprivredi, kao sorbenata, ambalažnih i termoizolacionih materijala i sl. Svojstva regenerisanih celuloznih materijala mogu se dodatno podesiti pravilnim izborom eksperimentalnih uslova procesa regeneracije kao što su temperatura i polaritet medijuma za koagulaciju. Nadalje, analizirana je mogućnost recikliranja i pretvaranja starog papira i kartona u materijale visoke vrednosti. Reciklabilnost ILs je jedan od izazova koji naučnici i tehnolozi koji se bave preradom celuloze moraju da reše kako bi se proces učinio isplativim i ekološki benignim.

AB  - In this study, polycaprolactone (PCL), as a biocompatible polymer was functionalized by addition of medicinal plant extract- Achillea millefolium L. (yarrow). Nanofiber mats were fabricated from PCL solutions containing dry yarrow extract in four concentrations (5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% relative to the weight of the polymer) by using blend electrospinning method. The nanofibers were characterized for their biological, mechanical and drug release behavior. In vitro release of yarrow polyphenols from the electrospun PCL nanofibers over a period of 5 days showed the release of up to 98% of the total loaded polyphenols. The released polyphenols retained its antioxidant activity, which was determined by DPPH assay. Electrospun PCL/yarrow nanofiber mats exhibited the antibacterial effect against Staphylococcus aureus, but had no effect on the growth of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. All PCL/yarrow nanofiber mats had improved mechanical properties compared to the neat PCL nanofibers, as evident by an increase in Young's modulus of elasticity (up to 5.7 times), the tensile strength (up to 5.5 times), and the strain at break (up to 1.45 times). Based on our results, yarrow-loaded PCL nanofiber mats appeared to be multi-functional biomaterials suitable for the production of catheter-coating materials, patches, or gauzes with antibacterial and antioxidant properties.

AB  - Poly(vinylidenefluoride)–ZnO (PVDF–ZnO) nanocomposites with mechanically activated ZnO nanoparticle fillers were investigated using thermal and mechanical analysis and AFM and PFM. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) investigated the effect of ZnO nanoparticles on the crystallinity of the polymer, under controlled heating and cooling. Atomic force (AFM) microscopy was used to record the surfaces of the samples. Nanocomposite surface roughness shows the presence of the different phases inside of the matrix, where rough samples contain a higher proportion of the β phase. PFM was performed to investigate the piezoresponse of the composites. Nanoidentation showed that the mechanical activation of the filler (ZnO) increases the Young modulus with the activation time. Molecular simulations in periodic systems (PVDF–ZnO spherical nanocluster and nanocylinder composite) were used to investigate the influence of particle size and shape on the Young modulus of different phases of PVDF.

AB  - This study aimed to develop active, biodegradable materials for food packaging by incorporating sage extract (SE) within a zein-gelatin blend by electrospinning and solvent casting. The fabrication techniques, SE incorporation, and its content (5, 10% w/w) determined the materials’ properties. Electrospinning produced 0.36–0.53 mm thick, non-transparent fibrous mats (mean fiber diameter 1.12–1.36 µm). Solvent casting generated 0.34–0.41 mm thick, transparent continuous films. The analysis indicated the constituents’ compatibility, homogenous dispersion, and efficient SE incorporation without strong chemical interactions and phase separation. The solvent-cast films presented more ordered structures, higher mechanical resistance, elongation, and water vapor barrier performance than the electrospun mats. The SE-incorporating formulations showed phenolics’ delivery ability to food simulants influenced by structure, SE content, and media polarity. The electrospun mats expressed higher DPPH• radicals’ inhibition, while the solvent-cast films showed stronger Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli growth inhibition, increased by SE incorporation. All formulations showed rapid complete bio-disintegration in compost (18–25 days).

AB  - In this study, in order to develop zein-based, edible, functional food-contact materials in different forms incorporating sage extract (10, 20, and 30%), solvent casting and electrospinning were employed. The study aimed to assess the effects of the applied techniques and the extract's incorporation on the materials' properties. The solvent casting generated continuous and compact films, where the extract's incorporation provided more homogenous surfaces. The electrospinning resulted in non-woven mats composed of ribbon-like fibers in the range of 1.275-1.829 mu m, while the extract's incorporation provided thinner and branched fibers. The results indicated the compatibility between the materials' constituents, and efficient and homogenous extract incorporation within the zein matrices, with more probable interactions occurring during the solvent casting. All of the formulations had a high dry matter content, whereas the mats and the formulations incorporating the extract had higher solubility and swelling in water. The films and mats presented similar DPPH center dot and ABTS(center dot+) radical scavenging abilities, while the influence on Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhimurium bacteria, and the growth inhibition, were complex. The antioxidant and antibacterial activity of the materials were more potent after the extract's incorporation. Overall, the results highlight the potential of the developed edible materials for use as food-contact materials with active/bioactive functionality.

AB  - Cellulose and cellulose-CaCO3 dopes were prepared by ultrasound dispersion of CaCO3 (0, 0.26,
or 0.65 w/w%) and dissolution of cellulose (13 w/w%) in ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-
methylimidazolium acetate at 90 °C. Thereafter, the films were obtained by rode casting over a
pre-heated glass plate, together with methanol used as a regeneration agent. Subsequently, the
films were washed in hot water (80 °C) to remove the residual ionic liquid solvent - a process that
can be extended to recover ionic liquid for re-use. To impart antimicrobial properties to the
cellulose-CaCO3 composite films, selected samples of the wet films were treated with 10 mM
CuSO4 solution for different times (30, 60, and 120 min). Furthermore, half of these CuSO4 treated
films were subsequently treated with ascorbic acid to synthesise in situ Cu-based nanoparticles on
the film surface. After drying whilst held under tension at room temperature, the films were
characterised in respect to their mechanical properties as well as antimicrobial activity. The results
revealed that, in the case of films treated for 30 min with CuSO4 solution, the incorporation of
0.26 w/w% CaCO3 correlated with an increase in the film hardness, while in the case where the
treatment with CuSO4 solution was performed for longer (60 min) this hardness trend was
reversed. The elastic modulus decreased with increasing content of CaCO3. Only the films treated
with CuSO4, and those with Cu-based nanoparticles, possessed excellent antimicrobial activity
against the bacteria E. coli, S. aureus, and the fungus C. albicans. However, the results in the case
of C. albicans, showed an additional dependence, in that films treated with CuSO4 solution for 60
min demonstrated increasing antimicrobial activity against the fungus specifically with increasing
CaCO3 content.

AB  - Outbreak of surgical infections and bacterial resistance against synthetic antibiotic has prompted research towards development of antibacterial medical devices. For that purpose, absorbable surgical sutures were impregnated with natural compound thymol using an environmentally friendly medium. The supercritical solvent impregnation process was performed at 35 degrees C and 10 MPa during 1, 2, 3 and 6 h, resulting in thymol loadings of 3.9-5.6%. All tested samples expressed antibacterial activity against E. coli and S. aureus. Release tests in PBS at 37 degrees C showed that impregnated material released loaded thymol in a gradual manner. While sutures impregnated during 6 h released complete amount of loaded thymol during 6 days, shorter impregnation process resulted in sutures that retained significant thymol amounts (similar to 20-40%) after 10 days of release test. The effect of proposed process on final material properties and its application were explained in detail using characterization techniques SEM, FTIR, DSC and DMA.

AB  - Cellulose-fibre lifecycle is severely limited within today’s recycling methodology. Feedstock cellulose and filler abound in products considered uneconomic, unsuitable for standard deinking or too weak for original product re-use. Regeneration of cellulose from ionic liquid (IL) solution offers a novel valorisation route with potential to replace oil-based plastics, simultaneously bringing filler-containing cellulose waste into circular economy. To exemplify, composite cellulose-CaCO3 filaments were produced from cellulose pulp and waste office paper (already containing 27 w/w% precipitated CaCO3filler), without any pretreatment, using diazabicyclo[4.3.0]non-5-enium-acetate ([DHBN][OAc]) as IL solvent to form a dope. The dope suspension was extruded via dry-jet wet spinning. Surface morphology and elemental analysis were investigated using scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. X-ray diffraction was used to measure the degree of cellulose crystallinity. Static and dynamic mechanical properties were determined. Thermal stability was evaluated by thermogravimetric analysis. Filaments obtained from waste office paper showed that high filler levels and the presence of print toner enhanced both mechanical and thermal stability, while decreasing, as expected, ultimate breaking strength in comparison to filaments containing virgin cellulose alone. For comparison, 2 w/w% ground CaCO3 introduced into pure cellulose dope led to significant increase in cellulose crystallinity and resulting stiffness, while thermal properties remained unchanged at the low level filler addition. Such addition of CaCO3 during cellulose regeneration, or usage of already filled paper, could be an effective way to obtain high strength cellulose-CaCO3 composite materials, thus valorising in a circular economy renewable cellulosic wastes rejected from the current recycling stream.

AB  - This study presents the impact properties of the new form of hybrid thermoplastic composites. The Kolon fabrics were impregnated with the 10 wt% poly (vinyl butyral) (PVB)/ethanol solution with the addition of silica (SiO2) particles originating from rice husk or layered double hydroxide modified silica particles (FeAl-LDH@SiO2) as reinforcement. All the composites consisted of one layer of the impregnated fabric where the silica particles concentrations were 0.5 wt% and 1.0 wt% regarding PVB. The impact properties of the composite samples were analyzed by the controlled energy puncture impact tester. The structures of the composite samples were determined by the attenuated total reflection Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). The results showed that the Kolon/PVB/1 wt% FeAl-LDH@SiO2 sample yielded the maximum impact force.

AB  - Particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5) pollutant particles have been identified as significant participants in air pollution, thus, special attention is paid to air filtration as a method of their efficient removal. A novel and simple method of producing nanofiber-based filters for efficient PM2.5 capture with multiple active components are proposed. Electrospun polyacrylonitrile (PAN) polymer was used both as a base filter material and as a precursor for producing microporous carbon nanofibers (MCNFs), which incorporated into the nanofibrous structure of the filter media. The fabricated PAN/MCNFs filters could reach removal efficiency of PM2.5 pollutant particles of up to 99% for with polluted air airflow velocity of 500 ml min−1, showing greater pollutant particle binding affinity with incorporated MCNFs. Experiments also show enhanced mechanical and thermal properties of studied air filters, with the addition of MCNFs – more than 4% and 6% increase in storage modulus and cyclization temperature in comparison to the base PAN filter, respectively. While using a facemask with inserted PAN/MCNFs filter, a reduced temperature variation in the facial region of the user was recorded – several degrees less when compared to a commonly used 3 M Aura 9320+ mask. This opens a possibility of their application in both industrial air filtering and as filters in facemask production.

AB  - In this work, we examine two modifications of fine-ground calcium carbonate material (GCC) in order to enhanced sorption of NO2 and subsequent reaction properties toward NO2-/NO3- formation by firstly exposing the GCC to supercritical (sc) CO2 in order to increase particle surface area, a choice specifically made to avoid altering the surface chemistry, and secondly considering the potential advantage of using a surface coupling agent toward NO2. The modification by the coupling agent amino silane (AMEO silane) was applied in a supercritical CO2-ethanol mixture. The samples were characterised before and after modification by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), specific surface area determination (BET nitrogen adsorption), ATR-FTIR spectroscopy and ion chromatography to reveal the effects of the surface modification(s) on the morphology, surface textural properties and sorption versus reaction properties with NO2. The performance of the treated sorbents for NO2 capture was evaluated at room temperature. Results show that reactivity of NO2 with GCC was observed to increase as a function of increased surface area resulting from scCO(2) exposure, but that the presence of AMEO silane on the surface, while enhancing initial adsorption of NO2 was seen subsequently to act to block reactivity. Thus, judicious use of coupling agent can provide desired rapid initial adsorption of the gas, but the goal of long-term CaCO3-consuming reactivity, so as to prolong the uptake of NO2 beyond surface saturation alone, is achieved by increasing surface area while retaining chemical-free exposed CaCO3 surface.

AB  - It has been a persistent challenge to develop eco-friendly packaging cellulose film providing the required multiple barrier properties whilst simultaneously contributing to a circular economy. Typically, a cellulosic film made from nanocellulose materials presents severe limitations, such as poor water/moisture resistance and lacking water vapour barrier properties, related primarily to the hydrophilic and hygroscopic nature of cellulose. In this work, alkyl ketene dimer (AKD) and starch, both eco-friendly, non-toxic, cost-effective materials, were used to achieve barrier properties of novel cellulose–calcium carbonate composite films regenerated from paper components, including paper waste, using ionic liquid as solvent. AKD and starch were applied first into the ionic cellulose solution dope mix, and secondly, AKD alone was coated from hot aqueous suspension onto the film surface using a substrate surface precooling technique. The interactions between the AKD and cellulose film were characterised by Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray Diffraction (XRD) showing the formation of a ketone ester structure between AKD and the hydroxyl groups of cellulose. The presence of calcium carbonate particles in the composite was seen to enhance the cellulose crystallinity. The initial high-water vapour and oxygen transmission rates of the untreated base films could be decreased significantly from 2.00 to 0.14 g m−2 d−1, and 3.85 × 102 to 0.45 × 102 cm3 m−2 d−1, respectively. In addition, by applying subsequent heat treatment to the AKD coating, the water contact angle was markedly increased to reach levels of superhydrophobicity (>150°, and roll-off angle < 5°). The resistance to water absorption, grease-permeation, and tensile strength properties were ultimately improved by 41.52%, 95.33%, and 127.33%, respectively, compared with those of an untreated pure cellulose film. The resulting regenerated cellulose–calcium carbonate composite-based film and coating formulation can be considered to provide a future bio-based circular economy barrier film, for example, for the packaging, construction and agriculture industries, to complement or replace oil-based plastics.

In this work, alkyl ketene dimer (AKD) and starch, both eco-friendly, non-toxic, cost-effective materials, were used to achieve barrier properties of novel cellulose–calcium carbonate composite films regenerated from paper components, including paper waste, using ionic liquid as solvent. AKD and starch were applied first into the ionic cellulose solution dope mix, and secondly, AKD alone was coated from hot aqueous suspension onto the film surface using a substrate surface precooling technique. The interactions between the AKD and cellulose film were characterised by Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray Diffraction (XRD) showing the formation of a ketone ester structure between AKD and the hydroxyl groups of cellulose. The presence of calcium carbonate particles in the composite was seen to enhance the cellulose crystallinity. The initial high-water vapour and oxygen transmission rates of the untreated base films could be decreased significantly from 2.00 to 0.14 g m−2 d−1, and 3.85 × 102 to 0.45 × 102 cm3 m−2 d−1, respectively. In addition, by applying subsequent heat treatment to the AKD coating, the water contact angle was markedly increased to reach levels of superhydrophobicity (>150°, and roll-off angle < 5°). The resistance to water absorption, grease-permeation, and tensile strength properties were ultimately improved by 41.52%, 95.33%, and 127.33%, respectively, compared with those of an untreated pure cellulose film. The resulting regenerated cellulose–calcium carbonate composite-based film and coating formulation can be considered to provide a future bio-based circular economy barrier film, for example, for the packaging, construction and agriculture industries, to complement or replace oil-based plastics.",

AB  - Air pollution is often related to increased concentration of particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5)
pollutant particles in the air. One of the methods of their removal is air filtration. Hereby, a
novel and simple method of producing nanofiber-based air filters with multiple active
components for highly efficient PM2.5 capture is proposed. Micro-porous carbon nanofibers
(MCNFs) were produced by carbonizing electrospun polyacrylonitrile (PAN) polymer and
was later incorporated into the nanofibrous structure of the filters, which itself was made
from electrospun PAN, achieving the production of two active components of the filter from
one starting material, simplifying the production process. When compared to the base PAN
filter, PAN/MCNFs filter exhibits greater filtering properties with almost absolute pollutant
particle removal. Their improved thermal and mechanical properties make this kind of filters
suitable for harsh-condition environments, such as those in industrial plants. The possibility
of using studied filters in facemask production was studied and reduced temperature
variation was recorded when using a facemask with an inserted PAN/MCNFs filter, thus
increasing wearing comfort for the user. All mentioned properties open a potential possibility
for these filters to be used in different environments, but also leave room for further
improvement.

AB  - In this study poly (vinyl butyral)/silica (PVB/SiO2) composite films were subjected to the cavitation process. The experiments were carried out with a 10 wt.% PVB solution in ethanol. Silica nanoparticles were added into the solution in different concentration of 1, 3 and 5 wt.% SiO2 in regard to PVB. Composite films were cast from these solutions and subjected to ultrasonic cavitation. Optical images of their surfaces were analyzed before and after cavitation, by Image-Pro Plus software. The results revealed that the PVB film with 5 wt.% SiO2 nanoparticles demonstrated the greatest improvement in microhardness with the best cavitation resistance compared to other films.

AB  - We herein report a simple two-step procedure for fabricating tetragonal CoMn2O4 spinel nanocrystals on carbon fibers. The battery-type behavior of these composite fibers arises from the redox activity of CoMn2O4 in an alkaline aqueous solution, which, in combination with the carbon fibers, endows good electrochemical performance and long-term stability. The C"CoMn2O4 electrode exhibited high specific capacity, up to 62 mA h g(-1) at 1 A g(-1) with a capacity retention of around 90% after 4000 cycles. A symmetrical coin-cell device assembled with the composite electrodes delivered a high energy density of 7.3 W h kg(-1) at a power density of 0.1 kW kg(-1), which is around 13 times higher than that of bare carbon electrodes. The coin cell was cycled for 5000 cycles with 96.3% capacitance retention, at a voltage of up to 0.8 V, demonstrating excellent cycling stability.

AB  - In this study, a spray drying process of yarrow (Achillea millefolium L.) liquid extracts was optimized by using the response surface methodology. The study aimed to determine the influence of temperature (120-195 degrees C), liquid flow rate (3-16.5 cm(3) min(-1)) and dry matter content in the liquid extract (0.3-1.5 %) on the yield of the drying process, the total polyphenols content and the antioxidant activity of the dry powder. Under the tested conditions the yield varied dramatically and ranged from 8 to 75 %, while the effects on the polyphenol content and antioxidant activity were lower. The optimized conditions for the maximum antioxidant activity and maximal yield of the dried extract were as follows: temperature of 130 degrees C, liquid flow rate of 7.5 cm(3) min(-1) and dry matter content of 1.2 %. Under the optimal conditions, the yield was 66 %, while there was a slight decrease in the polyphenol content in the dried extract as compared to that in the liquid extract (145 mg of gallic acid equivalents [GAE] per g of the total dry matter vs. 152 mg GAE g(-1), respectively). Consequently, antioxidant activity of the dry powder was only slightly reduced as compared to that of the liquid extract (DPPH neutralization was 58 vs. 64 %, respectively). The dried yarrow powder preserved its antimicrobial activity against pathogenic bacteria Staphylococcus aureus (MIC value of 10 mg cm(-3)) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MIC value of 20 mg cm(-3)).
