Synthesis of two novel bio-based hydrogels using sodium alginate and chitosan and their proficiency in physical immobilization of enzymes.

ABSTRACT: Herein, four novel and bio-based hydrogel samples using sodium alginate (SA) and chitosan (CH) grafted with acrylamide (AAm) and glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) and their reinforced nanocomposites with graphene oxide (GO) were synthesized and coded as SA-g-(AAm-co-GMA), CH-g-(AAm-co-GMA), GO/SA-g-(AAm-co-GMA), and GO/CH-g-(AAm-co-GMA), respectively. The morphology, net charge, and water absorption capacity of samples were entirely changed by switching the biopolymer from SA to CH and adding a nano-filler. The proficiencies of hydrogels were compared in the immobilization of a model metagenomic-derived xylanase (PersiXyn9). The best performance was observed for GO/SA-g-poly(AAm-co-GMA) sample indicating better stabilizing electrostatic attractions between PersiXyn9 and reinforced SA-based hydrogel. Compared to the free enzyme, the immobilized PersiXyn9 on reinforced SA-based hydrogel showed a 110.1% increase in the released reducing sugar and almost double relative activity after 180 min storage. While immobilized enzyme on SA-based hydrogel displayed 58.7% activity after twelve reuse cycles, the enzyme on CH-based carrier just retained 8.5% activity after similar runs.

Project description:Self-healing hydrogels have attracted wide attention because of their potential applications in various fields. However, the complex processes, environmental requirements, and insufficient functionality limit their practical application. Herein, we synthesized a chitosan quaternary ammonium salt-oxidized sodium alginate-glycerol-calcium ion (HACC-OSA-Gly-Ca2+) biobased hydrogel with a multi-network structure that exhibits excellent self-healing abilities. This was achieved by utilizing reversible dynamic imine bonding, electrostatic interactions, Ca2+ ions as crosslinking points, and hydrogen bonding. The oxidation of sodium alginate (SA) with sodium periodate was carried out to obtain oxidized sodium alginate (OSA) with varying oxidation degrees. The resulting OSAs were then introduced into a glycerol-water solvent system containing chitosan quaternary ammonium salt (HACC) and calcium chloride, and this reaction successfully prepared the biobased eco-friendly self-healing hydrogel. The impacts of the oxidation degree (OD) of OSA on the microscopic morphology, mechanical properties, viscoelastic properties, swelling properties, and self-healing properties of the corresponding synthetic hydrogels were investigated. The outcomes indicated that the optimal HACC-OSA-Gly-Ca2+ hydrogel possessed good mechanical properties, with a tensile stress of 0.0132 MPa and elongation at break of 551.38%. Furthermore, the multiple bond interactions led to a high self-healing ratio (100%), with an elongation at break of about 614.29%, and excellent adhesion ability (average peel strength of 6.38 kN m-1) on various substrates. Additionally, the composite hydrogels exhibited excellent water retention, thermal stability, and resilience, making them promising for various potential applications. Moreover, the properties of the composite hydrogels could be facilely and finely tuned by varying the oxidation degree of OSA and ratio of each component. Thus, the presented strategy could enrich the construction as well as application of biopolymer-based self-healing hydrogels.

Project description:The implementation of inorganic adsorbents for the removal of heavy metals from industrial effluents generates secondary waste. Therefore, scientists and environmentalists are looking for environmentally friendly adsorbents isolated from biobased materials for the efficient removal of heavy metals from industrial effluents. This study aimed to fabricate and characterize an environmentally friendly composite bio-sorbent as an initiative toward greener environmental remediation technology. The properties of cellulose, chitosan, magnetite, and alginate were exploited to fabricate a composite hydrogel bead. The cross linking and encapsulation of cellulose, chitosan, alginate, and magnetite in hydrogel beads were successfully conducted through a facile method without any chemicals used during the synthesis. Energy-dispersive X-ray analysis verified the presence of element signals of N, Ca, and Fe on the surface of the composite bio-sorbents. The appearance and peak's shifting at 3330-3060 cm-1 in the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis of the composite cellulose-magnetite-alginate, chitosan-magnetite-alginate, and cellulose-chitosan-magnetite-alginate suggested that there are overlaps of O-H and N-H and weak interaction of hydrogen bonding with the Fe3O4 particles. Material degradation, % mass loss, and thermal stability of the material and synthesized composite hydrogel beads were determined through thermogravimetric analysis. The onset temperature of the composite cellulose-magnetite-alginate, chitosan-magnetite-alginate, and cellulose-chitosan-magnetite-alginate hydrogel beads were observed to be lower compared to raw-material cellulose and chitosan, which could be due to the formation of weak hydrogen bonding resulting from the addition of magnetite Fe3O4. The higher mass residual of cellulose-magnetite-alginate (33.46%), chitosan-magnetite-alginate (37.09%), and cellulose-chitosan-magnetite-alginate (34.40%) compared to cellulose (10.94%) and chitosan (30.82%) after degradation at a temperature of 700 °C shows that the synthesized composite hydrogel beads possess better thermal stability, owing to the addition of magnetite and the encapsulation in the alginate hydrogel beads.
