Polymer-Based Chemistry of Carbohydrate-Derived Fulvic Acid and Its Comparative Effect with Chelating Agents on Root Dentin Microhardness
Abstract: The interaction between the polymer science and the endodontic biomaterials field has increased recently while considering the search for chelating agents. CHD-FA (Carbohydrate-Derived Fulvic Acid), a naturally occurring low-molecular-weight polymeric organic acid, has potential chelating and antimicrobial and antioxidant activities. This investigation examines the polymeric chemistry of CHD-FA and compares the effect of CHD-FA with other chelating agents, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), and citric acid, on root dentin microhardness. A total …

Inclusion of Silver Ions into Modified Cellulosic Fabrics for Durable and Improved Antibacterial Activity
Abstract: Silver ions were added to β-cyclodextrin-grafted organic cotton to create antibacterial fabrics that are more effective and long-lasting. In the presence of sodium hypophosphite, citric acid was used as a cross-linker to graft β-cyclodextrin onto the fabric, cementing the structure for ten minutes at 150°C. The presence of silver ions on the grafted fabric was verified by UV-visible and FTIR spectral studies of β-cyclodextrin, β-cyclodextrin-grafted fabric, ungrafted fabric, silver ions, …

Synthesis, Characterization and Antibacterial Evaluation of Novel Canola Oil-Based Poly-(Citrate/Succinate)-amide Incorporated with Zn (II) and Ni (II) Metal Ions
Abstract: This present research study is to fabricate efficient metal-incorporated Canola oil (CO) polymers synthesised using dicarboxylic acids – Citric acid (CA) and Succinic acid (SA). The research mainly highlights the fabrication of polymeric materials using CO via a safer chemical synthesis route with less toxic reactants and minimal solvent/diluent to accomplish sustainability, adopting the green chemistry principle. Divalent Zinc (Zn) and Nickel (Ni) were incorporated in the poly-(Citrate/Succinate)-amide matrix, Ni …

Crosslinked Starch Polymer for Coating on Fruit/Vegetable for Preservation Derived from Waste De-Oiled Soybean Cake
Abstract: Cross-linked starch films have been prepared by reacting starch extracted from de-oiled soybean cake (waste material from oil industry) with bio-based acids citric acid and tartaric acid. The obtained films were characterized by spectroscopic, thermal and surface morphological techniques. Thermal analysis showed that thin film has good thermal stability. The micrographs obtained from scanning electron microscopy showed the film surface has smooth and uniform morphology. Biological properties like cytocompatibility, antimicrobial …
