AB  - This research unveils the untapped potential of laccase, derived from the Bjerkandera genus, utilizing it in an immobilized system aimed at detoxifying harmful azo dye effluents from the textile industry, thus contributing to environmental protection. Marking a pioneering achievement, we recorded the highest laccase activity at 94.52 U/g cultivating B. adusta's mycelium on brewer's spent grain, enhanced with lignocellulosic waste, under meticulously optimized conditions −2.69 g of alkali-pretreated beech sawdust, 0.91 g of cypress cone, and 8-day incubation period. The harvested laccase was subjected to an immobilization process on alkali-pretreated beech sawdust, where, through optimization, we established the ideal conditions (30 mg of carrier, pH 7, and 3.5 h), achieving an immobilization efficiency of 72.24% with a residual activity of 57.64%. Remarkably, both free and immobilized forms of the B. adusta TMF1 laccase enzyme demonstrated formidable efficacy in decolorizing a mix of three distinct azo dyes (Orange G, Eriochrome Black T, and Congo Red), eliminating over 63% of the coloration within just 30 min. The immobilized laccase showed consistent performance across four decolorization cycles. Moreover, the breakdown products of the azo dye mix were analyzed using the HPLC method, complemented by evaluations of potential antimicrobial activity, phytotoxicity and cytotoxicity, revealing a non-toxic composition without cytotoxicity, highlighting the process's safety for environmental release. The significance of this research is reflected in the distinguished construction of a green biocatalyst acting as a stable and time-efficient in remediation of targeted azo dye pollution from the textile industry following the principles of circular economy.

AB  - This study takes a new look at a circular economy concept for discarded walnut green husks. Their ethanol extract was prepared and characterized using RP-HPLC, then diluted with water and employed for dyeing and/or functionalizing different fabrics. A diluted extract can dye wool (WO), cotton (CO), cellulose acetate (CA), and polyamide (PA) at pH 4.5. Extract:water ratio of 10:40, 65 °C and 75 min and extract:water ratio of 15:35, 45 °C, and 60 min were found suitable for dyeing WO and CA, respectively. Dyed WO and CA exhibited color strength values of 29.0 and 9.2, and excellent antioxidant activity (>97 %) before and after washing, and a significant level of efficacy against S. aureus. CA possessed excellent (5) and very good (4) color fastness to rubbing in a dry and wet state, respectively. WO showed very good (4) and good to very good (3–4) color fastness to rubbing in a dry and wet state, respectively. CO and PA displayed excellent antioxidant activity, with CO also exhibiting significant antibacterial activity against S. aureus even after washing. Moreover, the same dyebath can be reused for up to four dyeing cycles, enabling obtaining bioactive WO and CA fabrics in various brown shades suitable for different applications. Cytotoxicity assay confirmed the non-cytotoxic nature of dyed and washed CA, PA, and CO fabrics. Bioactive WO, CO, CA, and PA fabrics can be considered for the production of wound dressing, performance clothes, and tights for people with sensitive skin. Finally, this paper sheds new light on a novel circular economy concept since collected husks’ solid parts that remained after extraction were converted into activated carbon, which was then used for the preparation of supercapacitor having a specific capacitance of 144–275 F/g at current densities 0.1–2.0 A/g.

AB  - Polypropylene (PP) is widely used in the medical industry to produce syringes, vials, and numerous other single-use biopharmaceutical devices. The need to sterilize these products has led to intensive use of high-energy radiation, even though PP is known to undergo excessive oxidative degradation and deterioration in properties upon irradiation in air. In recent years, a shortage in 60Co supply, as a main source for gamma sterilization, is pushing radiation sterilization of polymeric medical products to electron beam (EB) and/or X-ray modalities as preferable. Some questions related to the equivalence of these methods remain open and are mostly related to changes in the material structure caused by different types of radiation and processing conditions, such as dose rates. This research compares electron beam and gamma irradiation modalities employed on the low crystalline (quenched) PP. In the case of EB irradiation, the typical dose rates are on the order of 104 kGy/h, while in the case of gamma radiation dose rates are lower for three or more orders of magnitude. Since gamma irradiation covers a wide range of dose rates, the difference between samples gamma irradiated with relatively fast (8 kGy/h) and slow (0.08 kGy/h) dose rates was also analyzed in detail. Comparative investigation of crystallinity, oxidative degradation, thermal, dielectric, and mechanical properties provide a clearer picture of the impact of different modalities and dose rates on mesomorphic PP and are of interest in the practical application of ionizing radiation in the sterilization of PP-based medical devices.

AB  - In the present research, the two different systems of dye based on zinc phthalocyanine were prepared by microwave-induced synthesis and conventional methods. They were evaluated as new effective chemical-based dosimeters for gamma irradiation. The sensitivity of the prepared dosimeters was examined by studying the comparative results between them through the changes in structural and optical properties upon exposure to different gamma irradiation doses. The color bleaching of the solutions was followed spectrophotometrically. Gradual changes from blue to light yellow color of zinc phthalocyanine solution, with the increase of the gamma radiation dose, were observed due to the decomposition of the dyes based on the zinc phthalocyanine. The synthesized zinc phthalocyanine chemical-based dosimeters for measurement of gamma irradiation up to 25kGy showed excellent stability after irradiation in terms of morphology and structure, which makes them a suitable novel material as composite-based dosimeters of gamma irradiation.

AB  - The Ti−45Nb (wt.%) alloy properties were investigated in relation to its potential biomedical use. Laser surface modification was utilized to improve its performance in biological systems. As a result of the laser treatment, (Ti,Nb)O scale was formed and various morphological features appeared on the alloy surface. The electrochemical behavior of Ti−45Nb alloy in simulated body conditions was evaluated and showed that the alloy was highly resistant to corrosion deterioration regardless of additional laser surface modification treatment. Nevertheless, the improved corrosion resistance after laser treatment was evident (the corrosion current density of the alloy before laser irradiation was 2.84×10−8 A/cm2, while that after laser treatment with 5 mJ was 0.65×10−8 A/cm2) and ascribed to the rapid formation of a complex and passivating bi-modal surface oxide layer. Alloy cytotoxicity and effects of the Ti−45Nb alloy laser surface modification on the MRC-5 cell viability, morphology, and proliferation were also investigated. The Ti−45Nb alloy showed no cytotoxic effect. Moreover, cells showed improved viability and adherence to the alloy surface after the laser irradiation treatment. The highest average cell viability of 115.37% was attained for the alloy laser-irradiated with 15 mJ. Results showed that the laser surface modification can be successfully utilized to significantly improve alloy performance in a biological environment.

AB  - Lab-made biosilica (SiO2) nanoparticles were obtained from waste biomass (rice husks) and used as eco-friendly fillers in the production of nickel matrix composite films via the co-electrodeposition technique. The produced biosilica nanoparticles were characterized using XRD, FTIR, and FE-SEM/EDS. Amorphous nano-sized biosilica particles with a high SiO2 content were obtained. Various current regimes of electrodeposition, such as direct current (DC), pulsating current (PC), and reversing current (RC) regimes, were applied for the fabrication of Ni and Ni/SiO2 films from a sulfamate electrolyte. Ni films electrodeposited with or without 1.0 wt.% biosilica nanoparticles in the electrolyte were characterized using FE-SEM/EDS (morphology/elemental analyses, roundness), AFM (roughness), Vickers microindentation (microhardness), and sheet resistance. Due to the incorporation of SiO2 nanoparticles, the Ni/SiO2 films were coarser than those obtained from the pure sulfamate electrolyte. The addition of SiO2 to the sulfamate electrolyte also caused an increase in the roughness and electrical conductivity of the Ni films. The surface roughness values of the Ni/SiO2 films were approximately 44.0%, 48.8%, and 68.3% larger than those obtained for the pure Ni films produced using the DC, PC, and RC regimes, respectively. The microhardness of the Ni and Ni/SiO2 films was assessed using the Chen-Gao (C-G) composite hardness model, and it was shown that the obtained Ni/SiO2 films had a higher hardness than the pure Ni films. Depending on the applied electrodeposition regime, the hardness of the Ni films increased from 29.1% for the Ni/SiO2 films obtained using the PC regime to 95.5% for those obtained using the RC regime, reaching the maximal value of 6.880 GPa for the Ni/SiO2 films produced using the RC regime.

abstract = "Lab-made biosilica (SiO2) nanoparticles were obtained from waste biomass (rice husks) and used as eco-friendly fillers in the production of nickel matrix composite films via the co-electrodeposition technique. The produced biosilica nanoparticles were characterized using XRD, FTIR, and FE-SEM/EDS. Amorphous nano-sized biosilica particles with a high SiO2 content were obtained. Various current regimes of electrodeposition, such as direct current (DC), pulsating current (PC), and reversing current (RC) regimes, were applied for the fabrication of Ni and Ni/SiO2 films from a sulfamate electrolyte. Ni films electrodeposited with or without 1.0 wt.% biosilica nanoparticles in the electrolyte were characterized using FE-SEM/EDS (morphology/elemental analyses, roundness), AFM (roughness), Vickers microindentation (microhardness), and sheet resistance. Due to the incorporation of SiO2 nanoparticles, the Ni/SiO2 films were coarser than those obtained from the pure sulfamate electrolyte. The addition of SiO2 to the sulfamate electrolyte also caused an increase in the roughness and electrical conductivity of the Ni films. The surface roughness values of the Ni/SiO2 films were approximately 44.0%, 48.8%, and 68.3% larger than those obtained for the pure Ni films produced using the DC, PC, and RC regimes, respectively. The microhardness of the Ni and Ni/SiO2 films was assessed using the Chen-Gao (C-G) composite hardness model, and it was shown that the obtained Ni/SiO2 films had a higher hardness than the pure Ni films. Depending on the applied electrodeposition regime, the hardness of the Ni films increased from 29.1% for the Ni/SiO2 films obtained using the PC regime to 95.5% for those obtained using the RC regime, reaching the maximal value of 6.880 GPa for the Ni/SiO2 films produced using the RC regime.",

AB  - This study investigates the impact of changing parameters on the photocatalytic degradation of carbofuran (CBF) using laser-treated TiO2 nanotube arrays on a Ti mesh under simulated sunlight irradiation and assessing toxicity during photocatalytic degradation. Various parameters, including the stirring effect, light intensity, initial CBF concentration, and variation in the active surface area of laser-treated TiO2 photocatalysts, were examined to determine their impact on degradation efficiency. The photodegradation kinetics were monitored using ultra-performance liquid chromatography with a PDA detector (UPLC-PDA) and UV-Vis spectrophotometry, while mineralization was assessed by a total organic carbon (TOC) analyzer. The photocatalytic degradation of CBF is enhanced by an increase in the active surface area of the TiO2 photocatalyst, light intensity, and the introduction of stirring, but it decreases with an increase in the initial concentration of CBF. The toxicity assessments revealed that the cytotoxicity of CBF initially increased during the degradation process but decreased after further treatment, indicating the formation and subsequent breakdown of toxic intermediates. The phytotoxicity test showed that longer degradation times resulted in higher toxicity to plant growth. This study provides new insights into the photocatalytic degradation of CBF with TiO2, the importance of parameter optimization for more efficient treatment, and the use of toxicity tests to confirm the success of the photocatalytic process

AB  - Polymer composites based on unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) and reinforced with particles based on unmodified/modifiedplant provenance biosilica particles were synthesized and characterized. An unsaturated polyester resin was obtained fromwaste poly (ethylene terephthalate (PET). Biosilaca particles are made from rice husk biomass. The surface of the producedsilica particles was modified using three different silanes: 3-trimethoxysilylpropyl methacrylate (MEMO), trimethoxyvinylsilane (TMEVS), and 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APTMS). The microhardness test method was used to investigatethe mechanical properties of synthesized composite material with variations in dwell times and applied loads. Optimization ofcomposite microhardness value prediction in function of synthesized parameters (type of modification of silica particles) andmeasurement parameters (applied loads and dwell times) was done using the method of response surface methodology (RSM)regression analysis. The maximal microhardness values (0.459 GPa) were obtained of type modification of silica particles withvinyl with 80% confidence for 120 experimental variables. This method can be used to choose the optimal dwell time and loadfor comparison of measurements between different composite materials and to enable the choice of the material in terms ofoptimization of the quality of reinforcement and quality of interphase determined by surface modification.

AB  - This study aimed to investigate the adsorption of As(V), phosphate, and textile dye Acid Green 25 (AG-25) on layered double hydroxides Mn-Fe_LDH and corresponding membranes (wCell/Mn-Fe_LDH). The wCell membrane, derived from waste tobacco boxes, was formed by cross-linking of epoxy and amino modified cellulose fibers with epoxy modified Mn-Fe_LDH and lysine as cross-linker. Structural and morphological analyses were conducted for Mn-Fe_LDH and wCell/Mn-Fe_LDH. The batch system explored pH, contact time, temperature, and initial concentration effects on wCell/Mn-Fe_LDH adsorption efficiency. Adsorption capacities of 82.71, 106.9, and 130.3 mg g−1 were achieved for As(V), phosphate, and AG-25, respectively, indicating effective anionic species removal. Kinetic analysis suggested intraparticle diffusion as the rate-limiting step. Thermodynamic parameters and ionic strength effects indicated a physisorption mechanism for AG-25 and surface complexation for As(V) and phosphate. Biodegradation experiments after five adsorption/desorption cycles revealed the membrane’s decomposition, with phosphate’s strong bonding releasing essential elements valuable for soil fertilization. Effluent wastewater treatment demonstrated low environmental impact through the formation of insoluble As(V) salts and photocatalytic dye degradation.

AB  - The increase in waste polymer recycling has helped in promoting sustainability, and together with the use of renewable raw materials, it has become a widespread concept with positive effects on both the economy and ecology. Accordingly, the aim of this study was the synthesis of “green” plasticizers, marked as LA/PG/PET/EG/LA, formed from waste poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) and bio-based platform chemicals propylene glycol (PG) and levulinic acid (LA). The structure of the obtained plasticizers was complex, as confirmed by results from nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis. The LA/PG/PET/EG/LA plasticizers and waste poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) were used in an optimized technology for PVC re-granulate production. The hardness of the PVC-based material with “green” plasticizers, in comparison to commercial plasticizer dioctyl terephthalate (DOTP), increased by 11.3%, while migration decreased. An improved material homogeneity and wettability of the fibers by the matrix were observed using SEM analysis of the material’s fracture surface, with a higher efficiency of intermolecular interactions leading to better mechanical performances of the newly designed materials. Thus, LA/PG/PET/EG/LA are unique materials with good compounding and plasticizing potential for PVC, as revealed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). In that manner, the use of bio-renewable resources and recycled polymers will contribute to diminishing waste polymer generation, contributing to a lower carbon footprint.

AB  - Materials from green resources boast a low carbon footprint, forming the foundation of the circular economy approach in materials science. Thus, in this study, waste poly(ethyleneterephthalate) (PET) was subjected to depolymerization using propylene glycol (PG), andsubsequent polycondensation with bio-based maleic anhydride (MA) produced unsaturated polyester resin (b-UPR). Bio-derived acryloyl-modified Kraft lignin (KfL-A) served as a vinyl reactive filler in the b-UPR matrix to create b-UPR/KfL-A composites. The structuralcharacterization of KfL-A and b-UPR involved the use of FTIR and NMR techniques. The mechanical properties of the newly fabricated composites were assessed through tensile strength, Vickers microhardness, and dynamic mechanical tests. The addition of KfL-A to the rigid b-UPR matrix enhanced material flexibility, resulting in less stiff and hard materials while preserving composite toughness. For instance, incorporating 10 wt.% of KfL-A in b-UPR led to a 17% reduction in hardness, a 48% decrease in tensile strength, and a 20% reduction in toughness. Positive environmental impact was achieved by incorporation of 64 wt.% of renewable and recycled raw material. Analogously prepared b-UPR/KfL composites showed structural inhomogeneity and somewhat better mechanical properties. Transmission (TEM) and scanning(SEM) electron microscopies revealed a suitable relationship between mechanical and structural properties of composites in relation to the extent of KfL-A addition. The UL94V flammability rating confirmed that flame resistance increased proportionally with the KfL-A addition. Once deposited in a landfill, these composites are expected to disintegrate more easily than PET, causing less harm to the environment and contributing to sustainability in the plastics cycle.

AB  - The lab-made ferrite-aluminium layered double oxide (Fe/Al LDO) nanoparticles were used as reinforcement in the production of copper matrix composite coatings via the electrodeposition route in this study. The Cu coatings electrodeposited galvanostatically without and with low concentrations of Fe/Al LDO nanoparticles were characterized by SEM (morphology), AFM (topography and roughness), XRD (phase composition and texture), Vickers microindentation (hardness), and the static sessile drop method (wettability). All Cu coatings were fine-grained and microcrystalline with a (220) preferred orientation, with a tendency to increase the grain size, the roughness, and this degree of the preferred orientation with increasing the coating thickness. The cross-section analysis of coatings electrodeposited with Fe/Al LDO nanoparticles showed their uniform distribution throughout the coating. Hardness analysis of Cu coatings performed by application of the Chicot-Lesage (C-L) composite hardness model showed that Fe/Al LDO nanoparticles added to the electrolyte caused a change of the composite system from “soft film on hard cathode” into “hard film on soft cathode” type, confirming the successful incorporation of the nanoparticles in the coatings. The increase in roughness had a crucial effect on the wettability of the coatings, causing a change from hydrophilic reinforcement-free coatings to hydrophobic coatings obtained with incorporated Fe/Al LDO nanoparticles.

AB  - The objective of this study was to demonstrate the potential utilization of fly ash (FA), wood ash (WA), and metakaolin (MK) in developing new alkali-activated materials (AAMs) for the removal of cadmium ions from waste water. The synthesis of AAMs involved the dissolution of solid precursors, FA, WA, and MK, by a liquid activator (Na2SiO3 and NaOH). In concentrated solutions of the activator, the formation of an aluminosilicate gel structure occurred. DRIFT spectroscopy of the AAMs indicated main vibration bands between 1036 cm−1 and 996 cm−1, corresponding to Si-O-Si/Si-O-Al bands. Shifting vibration bands were seen at 1028 cm−1 to 1021 cm−1, indicating that the Si-O-Si/Si-O-Al bond is elongating, and the bond angle is decreasing. Based on the X-ray diffraction results, alkali-activated samples consist of an amorphous phase and residual mineral phases. The characteristic “hump” of an amorphous phase in the range from 20 to 40° 2θ was observed in FA and in all AWAFA samples. By the XRD patterns of the AAMs obtained by the activation of a solid three-component system, a new crystalline phase, gehlenite, was identified. The efficiency of AAMs in removing cadmium ions from aqueous solutions was tested under various conditions. The highest values of adsorption capacity, 64.76 mg/g (AWAFA6), 67.02 mg/g (AWAFAMK6), and 72.84 mg/g mg/g (AWAMK6), were obtained for materials activated with a 6 M NaOH solution in the alkali activator. The Langmuir adsorption isotherm and pseudo-second kinetic order provided the best fit for all investigated AAMs.

AB  - The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of cross-linking and reinforcements in gelatin on the physico-mechanical properties of obtained composites. The gelatin-based composites cross-linked with citric acid (CA) were prepared: gelatin type B (GB) and β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) and novel hybrid composite GB with β-TCP and hydroxyapatite (HAp) particles, and their structure, thermal, and mechanical properties were compared with pure gelatin B samples. FTIR analysis revealed that no chemical interaction between the reinforcements and gelatin matrix was established during the processing of hybrid composites by the solution casting method, proving the particles had no influence on GB cross-linking. The morphological investigation of hybrid composites revealed that cross-linking with CA improved the dispersion of particles, which further led to an increase in mechanical performance. The microindentation test showed that the hardness value was increased by up to 449%, which shows the high potential of β-TCP and HAp particle reinforcement combined with CA as a cross-linking agent. Furthermore, the reduced modulus of elasticity was increased by up to 288%. Results of the MTT assay on L929 cells have revealed that the hybrid composite GB-TCP-HA-CA was not cytotoxic. These results showed that GB cross-linked with CA and reinforced with different calcium phosphates presents a valuable novel material with potential applications in dentistry.

AB  - This study presents an analysis of films which consist of two layers; one layer is PVDF as the matrix, along with fillers BaTiO3 (BT), and the second is one bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) filled with Fe3O4. The mass fraction of BT in PVDF was 5%, and the samples were differentiated based on the duration of the mechanical activation of BT. This innovative PVDF laminate polymer with environmentally friendly fillers aligns with the concept of circular usage, resulting in a reduction in plastic content and potential improvement of the piezoelectric properties of the entire composite. This work presents new, multifunctional “green” packaging materials that potentially could be a good alternative to specific popular materials used for this purpose. The synthesis of the films was carried out using the hot press method. Tensile tests, water vapor permeability examination, and structural analyses using SEM-EDS and FTIR have been conducted. The sample PVDF/BT20/BNC/Fe3O4 exhibited the best barrier properties (impermeability to water vapor), while the highest tensile strength and toughness were exhibited by the PVDF/BT5/BNC/Fe3O4 sample.

AB  - While dental poly methyl methacrylate(PMMA) possesses distinctive qualities such as ease of fabrication, cost-effectiveness, and favorable physical and mechanical properties, these attributes alone are inadequate to impart the necessary impact strength and hardness. Consequently, pure PMMA is less suitable for dental applications. This research focused on the incorporation of Strontium titanate (SrTiO3-STO) and hybrid filler STO/Manganese oxide (MnO2) to improve impact resistance and hardness. The potential of STO in reinforcing PMMA is poorly investigated, while hybrid filler STO/MnO2 has not been presented yet. Differential scanning calorimetry is conducted in order to investigate the agglomeration influence on the PMMA glass transition temperature (Tg), as well as the leaching of residual monomer and volatile additives that could pose a threat to human health. It has been determined that agglomeration with 1 wt% loading had no influence on Tg, while the first scan revealed differences in evaporation of small molecules, in favor of composite PMMA-STO/MnO2, which showed the trapping potential of volatiles. Investigations of mechanical properties have revealed the significant influence of hybrid STO/MnO2 filler on microhardness and total absorbed impact energy, which were increased by 89.9% and 145.4%, respectively. Results presented in this study revealed the reinforcing potential of hybrid nanoparticles that could find application in other polymers as well.

AB  - The microstructure–property relationship in poly(methyl methacrylate) PMMA composites is very important for understanding interface phenomena and the future prediction of properties that further help in designing improved materials. In this research, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) images of denture PMMA composites with SrTiO3, MnO2 and SrTiO3/MnO2 were used for fractal reconstructions of particle agglomerates in the polymer matrix. Fractal analysis represents a valuable mathematical tool for the characterization of the microstructure and finding correlation between microstructural features and mechanical properties. Utilizing the mathematical affine fractal regression model, the Fractal Real Finder software was employed to reconstruct agglomerate shapes and estimate the Hausdorff dimensions (HD). Controlled energy impact and tensile tests were used to evaluate the mechanical performance of PMMA-MnO2, PMMA-SrTiO3 and PMMA-SrTiO3/MnO2 composites. It was determined that PMMA-SrTiO3/MnO2 had the highest total absorbed energy value (Etot), corresponding to the lowest HD value of 1.03637 calculated for SrTiO3/MnO2 agglomerates. On the other hand, the highest HD value of 1.21521 was calculated for MnO2 agglomerates, while the PMMA-MnO2 showed the lowest Etot. The linear correlation between the total absorbed impact energy of composites and the HD of the corresponding agglomerates was determined, with an R2 value of 0.99486, showing the potential use of this approach in the optimization of composite materials’ microstructure–property relationship.

AB  - Since acrylate-based materials are widely used in dentistry, their drawbacks such as low impact resistance and hardness, require continuous research in the field of materials science in order to avoid sudden fracture caused by chewing or fall. In this study, auto-polymerizing poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), commonly used as denture base material, was reinforced with poly(4-styrenesulfonic acid-co-maleic anhydride) sodium salt (PSSMA) and strontium titanate (STO), with the aim of improving impact behavior and microhardness. Morphological analysis confirmed formation of phase-separated and co-continuous microscopic structures of PSSMA in PMMA, without visible agglomerates of STO nanoparticles, indicating that PSSMA-STO interaction contributed to a better distribution of nanoparticles. Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy revealed that PSSMA and STO did not interfere in the polymerization of methyl methacrylate. This was further supported by thermal analysis, which also showed that the addition of PSSMA and STO had no significant influence on thermal degradation. On the other side, PSSMA and STO significantly enhanced mechanical performance of PMMA. The modulus of elasticity increased by up to 48.6%, total absorbed impact energy improved by up to 108.4%, and microhardness increased by up to 272.8% when PSSMA was combined with STO for reinforcing denture PMMA. These results demonstrate the significant potential of PSSMA, which could be combined with other ceramic nanoparticles for denture reinforcement in the future. Highlights: This research presents novel dental hybrid composite. Influence of strontium titanate (STO) and poly(4-styrenesulfonic acid-co-maleic anhydride) sodium salt (PSSMA) on poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) was investigated. PSSMA/STO improved modulus of elasticity, microhardness and impact resistance. Sample with 5 wt% PSSMA and 1 wt% STO showed the highest improvement compared to PMMA. Presented hybrid composite could use as denture base material.

AB  - This study proposes a simple and controlled method for producing TiO2 with phase junction, oxygen vacancies, and Ti3+ by combining picosecond pulsed laser irradiation and electrochemical anodization. Ti mesh was pretreated by irradiating with a picosecond pulsed laser technique using an Nd:YAG laser (1064 nm) at two fluencies, 15 J/cm2 and 30 J/cm2 . The samples were then subjected to electrochemical anodization to form TiO2 nanotube arrays on the previously laser-treated surface. This study will investigate the possibility of forming TiO2 nanotube arrays on a pre-laser-treated Ti substrate and determine their physicochemical and photocatalytic properties. The samples were characterized by FESEM, XRD, Raman, XPS, and UV-Vis DRS. UV-Vis spectroscopy was used to observe the progress of photocatalytic degradation for all samples, and degradation products were determined using GC-MS. With the synergistic effects of phase junction, oxygen vacancies, and Ti3+, the laser-treated TiO2 with 30 J/cm2 showed a higher photocatalytic degradation rate (85.1%) of the pesticide carbofuran compared to non-laser-treated TiO2 (54.8%), remaining stable during successive degradation cycles, which has promising practical applications.

AB  - Anorthite ceramics (CaAl2Si2O8) was obtained by slip casting of water suspension of kaolin (Al2O3·2SiO2·2H2O) and CaCO3 as a source of CaO. A relative density of 87 % of the theoretical density was achieved after a 3-h-long sintering of green samples at 1200 °C. It was found that slip casting allows the fabrication of anorthite with relatively small pores (<8 μm) which was beneficial for achieving a high fracture strength of 129 MPa and good thermal shock resistance. For a quantitative measurement of thermal shock resistance, a critical temperature interval (ΔTc) was determined by a reduction in the mean fracture strength of at least 30 %. The experimentally determined ΔTc of 300 °C was higher than the value calculated by the equation assuming that the thermal stress created during quenching causes the fracture. It was found that the discrepancy between experimental and calculated values of ΔTc could be explained by an introduction of cracks of various sizes by indentation method and careful observation of crack growth initiation after quenching from various temperatures. It is believed that the reason for the discrepancy lies in the different nature of stress that was used in the theoretical calculation and the stress that acts during sample quenching.

AB  - Irradiated fig pomace pyrochar (IrrPyrFP) is noteworthy as a novel sterilized low-cost sorbent of BTEX, pesticides, and Pb2+ ions. It was produced by applying pyrolysis treatment followed by gamma irradiation modification in order to obtain a highly efficient and sterile sorbent. The characterization of fig pomace before and after pyrolysis, as well as before and after irradiation of the obtained pyrochar, was done using SEM, FTIR, and elemental analysis, while its sorption ability was tested through the removal of examined pollutants by batch sorption experiments. The obtained results suggest that IrrPyrFP could play a significant role in the control of environmental pollutants, as indicated by the maximum adsorption capacities: 42 mg g−1 for BTEX, 0.625 mg g−1 for malathion, 0.495 mg g−1 for chlorpyrifos and 255 mg g−1 for Pb2+. A kinetic study showed that the removal process by IrrPyrFP mainly follows pseudo 2nd kinetics order, while the sorption equilibriums were estimated using the Langmuir and Freundlich model. Overall, the findings of this work suggest that pyrolysis and activation by irradiation of waste biomass is a promising way to produce sterile efficient sorbents for waste-water treatment based on green chemistry. Additionally, the demonstrated application of fig pomace promotes the potential of using this biomass for continual and economical waste management in the rising fig industry.

AB  - The most common scientific analysis of archaeological ceramics aims to determine the raw material source and/or production technology. Scientists and archaeologists widely use XRF-based techniques as a tool in a provenance study. After conducting XRF analysis, the results are often analyzed using multivariate analysis in addition to interpretation and conclusions. Various multivariate techniques have already been applied in archaeological ceramics provenance studies to reveal different raw material sources, identify imported pieces, or determine different production recipes. This study aims to evaluate the results of multivariate analysis in the provenance study of ceramics that belong to three cultures that settled in the same area during various prehistoric periods. Portable energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (pEDXRF) was used to determine the elemental composition of the ceramic material. The ceramic material was prepared in two different ways. The ceramic body material was ground into powder, homogenized, and then pressed into tablets. After that, the same fragments are polished in suitable places. Quantitative and qualitative analyses were performed on the tablets and polished pieces. The results were subjected to both unsupervised and supervised multivariate analysis. Based on the results, it was concluded that qualitative analysis of the well-prepared shards’ surface using EDXRF spectrometry could be utilized in provenance studies, even when the ceramic assemblages were made of similar raw materials.

AB  - In an attempt to reuse fibrous textile waste and, at the same time, to address dye pollution
in textile wastewater, waste cotton-based yarn was utilized as a cheap and sustainable adsorbent, as
well as a row material for carbon adsorbent production. Unmodified yarn and cotton-based carbon
adsorbents were used as adsorbents for dye removal from water. Cotton and cotton/polyester yarn
samples underwent thermal modification through carbonization followed by chemical activation
with KOH. Various techniques, including scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared
spectroscopy, nitrogen adsorption–desorption isotherms, and surface charge determination, were
employed to analyze the morphological and surface characteristics of the cotton-based adsorbents.
Adsorption properties were evaluated by testing the removal of selected cationic and anionic dyes
from water. The impact of temperature, initial pH and concentration of the dye solution, and
contact time on adsorption were investigated, and experimentally obtained data were analyzed using
theoretical models. While carbonization alone did not significantly enhance adsorption properties,
activated samples exhibited high efficacy in removing both cationic and anionic dyes from water.
Despite the negative influence of the polyester component in the carbon precursor on the efficiency
of activated samples in removing methyl orange, the results indicated that activated cotton and
cotton/polyester yarn could be used to prepare highly efficient adsorbents for the rapid removal of
methylene blue from real wastewater samples.
