An eco-friendly and inventive alternative to cement-based concrete is geopolymer concrete (GPC) due to its reduced carbon footprint, as it completely replaces cement. Despite their environmental benefits, the mechanical performance of GPC is highly sensitive to the mix of proportions and curing conditions, presenting significant challenges in achieving consistent strength. To enhance the strength and mechanical properties of GPC with sodium hydroxide (NaOH), a unique approach using Gegenbauer graph neural networks (GGNN) is presented in this work. The main objectives of this study include reducing CO₂ emissions. The strength of GPC with NaOH is predicted using GGNN. The GGNN method is also used to analyze the mechanical properties of GPC under different NaOH molarities and different ratios of sodium silicate to NaOH. The proposed method is simulated in MATLAB and is compared with existing methods like long short-term memory (LSTM), artificial neural network (ANN), and back propagation neural network (BPNN). It is found that the oven-cured GPC achieved better mechanical strength compared to the ambient-cured GPC. The proposed model attained the highest compressive strength (CS) of 75.42 MPa along with a high correlation coefficient of 0.9871 compared to the previous studies. In contrast to the existing methods, the proposed model achieved a high prediction accuracy of 98.5% along with a low CO₂ emission of 7% demonstrating its superior performance in accurately predicting the mechanical strength and reducing carbon footprints. This indicates the robustness and reliability of the proposed model for optimizing material properties and advancing the field of sustainable construction materials.

地聚合物混凝土（GPC）是水泥基混凝土的环保和创新替代品，因为它可以完全取代水泥，减少碳足迹。尽管具有环境效益，但GPC的机械性能对混合比例和固化条件非常敏感，这对实现一致的强度提出了重大挑战。为了提高氢氧化钠（NaOH） GPC的强度和力学性能，本文提出了一种使用Gegenbauer图神经网络（GGNN）的独特方法。这项研究的主要目标包括减少二氧化碳的排放。用GGNN预测了含NaOH的GPC的强度。采用GGNN方法分析了不同NaOH摩尔浓度和水玻璃与NaOH的不同配比下GPC的力学性能。在MATLAB中对该方法进行了仿真，并与长短期记忆（LSTM）、人工神经网络（ANN）和反向传播神经网络（BPNN）等现有方法进行了比较。结果表明，与常温固化GPC相比，高温固化GPC具有更好的机械强度。与已有研究相比，该模型获得了最高的抗压强度（CS）为75.42 MPa，相关系数为0.9871。与现有方法相比，该模型预测精度高达98.5%，二氧化碳排放量低至7%，在准确预测机械强度和减少碳足迹方面具有优越的性能。这表明所提出的模型对于优化材料性能和推进可持续建筑材料领域具有鲁棒性和可靠性。

The field of additive manufacturing is experiencing significant growth, transitioning from primarily serving as a prototyping service to becoming a full-fledged manufacturing service. Fused deposition modeling (FDM) printers have emerged as the predominant 3D printer in the current market landscape, driven by a notable surge in sales. Various industries have widely adopted these processes to manufacture limited quantities of intricate and personalized components. However, finding the optimal process parameters is complex due to inherent conflicts between various factors. One significant drawback of existing literature on selecting the most suitable parameters is the inadequate precision in estimating product quality. In this study, the properties of PLA and PLA/coconut wood (CT.W) are investigated and the appropriate parameters for various mechanical properties are determined. The specimens in this study vary in parameters, including infill pattern (grid, octagram spiral, rectilinear, honeycomb, and concentric) and infill percentage (25%, 50%, and 75%). The findings indicate that PLA and PLA/Ct.W specimens with 75% infill density and concentric infill pattern exhibit higher energy absorption in tensile, flexural, and impact properties. When comparing the properties of the PLA composite, it is observed that they are slightly lower due to the larger size of the coconut wood particles.

增材制造领域正经历着显著的增长，从最初的原型设计服务转变为成熟的制造服务。在销售显著激增的推动下，熔融沉积建模（FDM）打印机已成为当前市场格局中占主导地位的3D打印机。各行各业都广泛采用这些工艺来制造数量有限的复杂和个性化部件。然而，由于各种因素之间的内在冲突，寻找最优工艺参数是复杂的。在选择最合适的参数方面，现有文献的一个重大缺点是估计产品质量的精度不足。本文研究了聚乳酸（PLA）和聚乳酸/椰子木（CT.W）的性能，并确定了各种力学性能的合适参数。本研究中试样的参数不同，包括填充模式（网格、八角形螺旋、直线、蜂窝和同心）和填充百分比（25%、50%和75%）。结果表明PLA和PLA/Ct。75%填充密度和同心填充模式的W试样在拉伸、弯曲和冲击性能上具有更高的能量吸收。当比较PLA复合材料的性能时，可以观察到由于椰子木颗粒的尺寸较大，它们略低。

Membrane technology has garnered a lot of attention as a practical and promising approach to water filtration throughout the last 20 years. The goal of the current research was to create a chitosan-PVA membrane doped with graphene oxide and silver (GO/Ag) nanocomposite for water treatment of acid blue 324 dye. GO/Ag nanocomposite was prepared and characterized by TEM, DLS, and UV-Vis spectroscopy. Four types of membranes were prepared; chitosan (Ch), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), Ch-PVA ,and chitosan–PVA dropped with GO/Ag. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), UV spectroscopy, and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) techniques were used to characterize the fabricated membranes. GO/Ag Ch-PVA membranes are thermally stable, as the melting temperature of the membrane is 337.66 °C. Doping GO/Ag nanocomposite into the Ch-PVA matrix resulted in higher absorption values over the range 200–380 nm, supporting the break down dye soluble in water and acting as a photocatalyst. Dye concentrations in water and the membrane’s adsorption capacity were evaluated at different pH values and initial dye concentrations. The results indicated that compared to Ch-PVA, PVA, and Ch membranes, the GO/Ag Ch-PVA membrane absorbs the dye by 83.1%, 69.5%, and 65.4% more. Additionally, it was discovered that the produced membranes have a higher dye removal efficiency at low pH levels than the basic medium. At pH 2, the dye absorption efficiency of GO/Ag Ch-PVA is higher by 11.47%, 1.78%, and 14.84% when compared to PVA, Ch, and Ch-PVA membranes. Research findings suggested that this fabricated membrane could be an effective dye removal adsorbent.

A new chloroacetophenone-based acid-catalyzed terpolymer has been synthesized from vanillylidenacetone/4-hydroxystyryl methyl ketone, formaldehyde, and chloroacetophenone. Characterization of the terpolymer was done by using FTIR and ¹H NMR data. Thermal stability/behavior of new terpolymers determined by DSC and TGA. Ultrasonic properties, including ultrasonic velocity, density, adiabatic compressibility, specific acoustic impedance, viscosity, intermolecular free length, and relaxation time, were studied successfully in DMSO. The average molecular weight of the polymer has been reported. The antioxidant property of acetophenone-based terpolymer is reportedly against DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl), with a 1.66 mg/mL IC₅₀ value. The synthesized terpolymer was used as an epoxy curing agent in a 50% weight ratio, along with DGEBA (diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A) resin at 453.15 K. The thermal stability of the epoxy-polymer composite was investigated using a TGA analysis. Chemical stability of the composite was estimated using strong acid (concentrated HCl), saturated NaOH, and NaCl solution. Surface morphology of the epoxy composite was examined using SEM analysis.

Enhancing enzyme resistance to environmental conditions and optimizing their catalytic performance are crucial for various industrial applications. Enzyme immobilization has emerged as one of the most effective strategies to achieve these goals. In this study, polycaprolactone/chitosan (PCL/CHI) nanofibers were successfully synthesized via electrospinning, followed by the covalent immobilization of α-amylase. The immobilization efficiency was determined, and the resulting nanofibers were characterized through FT-IR, SEM, EDX, and XRD. Optimal pH and temperature conditions for the immobilized enzyme were found to be pH and 50 °C, respectively. The activation energy (Ea) calculated using the Arrhenius equation was 5.14 KJ/mol, while the kinetic parameters K_m and Vmax were determined as 0.37 ± 0.11 mg/mL and 6.23 ± 0.87 µmol/min, respectively. Thermal stability tests revealed that at 50 °C, the immobilized enzyme retained over 50% of its initial activity. Additionally, the immobilized enzyme exhibited enhanced resistance to environmental stressors, including metal ions and organic solvents, compared to its free counterpart. The results confirm that the immobilization process not only improves enzyme stability but also boosts catalytic efficiency under specific conditions. This study provides a cost-effective, scalable, and practical approach for enzyme immobilization using electrospinning, with significant potential for industrial applications.

Argemone mexicana (AM) seed oil was extracted using petroleum ether as an effective solvent, with a yield of 20.345%. Alkyd resins derived from AM seed oil were synthesized by the alcoholysis-polyesterification method. By measuring the acid value at different times throughout the reaction, the reaction’s progress was investigated. The oil and resins underwent additional characterization using techniques such as GPC,¹H NMR, FT-IR, and GC-MS to determine the molecular weight, structure, and fatty acid composition, respectively. Research was conducted to determine how the presence of maleic anhydride in the resins affected the wettability, anticorrosion, and curing characteristics of the resins and cured films. By mixing alkyd resin with epoxy resin and gradually raising the temperature from 60 °C to 210 °C, the alkyd resins were cured. For several days, alkyd resin-coated mild steel plates demonstrated effective corrosion resistance. The water contact angle (WCA) was measured to assess the wettability of cured films. Higher maleic anhydride content improved performance in paint and surface coatings.

We report a convenient approach for characterizing poly(ethylene-co-methacrylic acid) (EMAA) using time domain NMR. The T₂ relaxation curve of EMAA can be obtained by the Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gill (CPMG) pulse sequence and analyzed with a three-component model. The dynamic phase distribution (the aggregation of relaxation components with similar mobility) and overall polymer chain mobility results showed good agreement with well-known EMAA ionomer properties and Hahn Echo pulse sequence experiments. Subsequently, plasticizer's impact on the EMAA network was studied with the method established here. Plasticizer-induced dynamic phase redistribution and chain mobility changes can be revealed by time domain NMR (TD NMR) analysis, enabling researchers to better understand the plasticizer–polymer interaction mechanism. In conclusion, TD NMR characterization of EMAA polymers provided a new perspective on the structural features and dynamics of these materials. The method has the potential to be adopted in R&D labs, processing labs, or plant quality assurance/quality control.

我们报道了一种用时域核磁共振表征聚乙烯-共甲基丙烯酸（EMAA）的简便方法。通过carr - purcell - meiboomm - gill （CPMG）脉冲序列得到EMAA的T2弛豫曲线，并采用三分量模型进行分析。动态相分布（具有相似迁移率的弛豫组分聚集）和聚合物整体链迁移率结果与已知的EMAA离聚体性质和Hahn Echo脉冲序列实验结果吻合良好。随后，用本文建立的方法研究了增塑剂对EMAA网络的影响。通过时域核磁共振（TD NMR）分析可以揭示增塑剂诱导的动态相重分布和链迁移率变化，使研究人员能够更好地了解增塑剂与聚合物的相互作用机理。总之，EMAA聚合物的TD NMR表征为这些材料的结构特征和动力学提供了新的视角。该方法有可能在研发实验室、加工实验室或工厂质量保证/质量控制中采用。

Polymeric films are effective for topical drug delivery due to their flexibility and adaptability, which are advantageous for patients who have difficulty with traditional dosage forms. Films can offer extended residence times and controlled drug release based on their composition. Gellan gum (GG) and pectin (P) are promising materials due to their mucoadhesive properties and pH-responsive behavior. In this study, GG/P films, crosslinked with Ca²⁺ and/or Al³⁺ containing or not itraconazole (ITZ), were developed for the potential treatment of oral candidiasis. Films were produced by ionotropic gelation method followed by solvent casting and assessed for macroscopic appearance, thickness, surface pH, mechanical properties, saliva uptake, erosion, and mucoadhesion. The films’ surface pH ranged from 4.7 to 5.5, with a thickness of <1 mm. Average saliva uptake was 9.32 mL/g, and the erosion varied from 13% to 44%, with films based on GG:P (4:1) and crosslinked with Ca²⁺ showing the lowest value. Films exhibited elongation before perforation from 0.78% to 2.43% and breaking point from 17.44 to 66.44 mPa. Films showed high mucoadhesive capacity, and the incorporation of ITZ did not affect this property, resulting in greater mechanical strength and lower erosion. The set of data proved that the developed platform is promising for the proposed application.

This study examined the experimental and theoretical analyses of the tensile behavior of randomly oriented flax fiber reinforced with expanded polystyrene (EPS) waste composites. The effects of flax fiber volume fractions (20%, 30%, and 40%) on the composite’s tensile properties were analyzed. Several theoretical models, namely the rule of mixtures (ROM) series, modified Bader and Bowyer, Hirsch, Palsule, Cox-Krenchel, and Einstein-Guth models, were compared to the experimental results of the formulated composites. The theoretical predictions of tensile strength from the Hirsch and modified Bader and Bowyer models showed close alignment with experimental results. Cox-Krenchel, Palsule, and Hirsch’s model better predicts the tensile modulus of a composite at 30% fiber loading. Additionally, this research highlights the potential of utilizing natural fibers in combination with recycled EPS materials to produce eco-friendly composites with improved performance for construction applications, such as house panels and automobile interior components.

The search for eco-friendly materials with tunable optical properties has encouraged the use of natural dyes in polymer composites. In this study, onion peel dye (OPD) extracted from peel wastes was incorporated into the polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) to improve its optical performance. Flexible PVA:OPD films were prepared using the simple casting technique, and their structural and optical properties were systematically investigated. FTIR analysis confirmed the presence of characteristic functional groups in OPDs and revealed strong interactions with the PVA matrix. UV–Vis studies showed that dye doping significantly altered the optical response. The optical bandgap decreased from 5.38 to 2.83 eV for direct transitions and from 4.55 to 1.95 eV for indirect transitions, while the Urbach energy increased from 0.33 to 0.66 eV, indicating enhanced localized states and structural disorder. The dispersion parameters derived from the Wemple–DiDomenico model also changed notably:

E_{d}

and

E_{o}

varied between 1.05–1.18 eV and 2.64–4.22 eV, respectively; the oscillator strength (

N / m^{*}

) increased from

0.457 \times 10^{53}

to

8.294 \times 10^{53}

; and the plasma frequency (

ω_{p}

) rose from

1.149 \times 10^{13}

to

4.898 \times 10^{13}

Hz. In addition, the resonance wavelength (

λ_{o}

) shifted from 305.9 nm to 560.6 nm at low energy and from 134.1 nm to 353.9 nm at high energy, confirming strong modification of dielectric behavior. These results demonstrate that natural OPDs effectively tailor both the linear and nonlinear optical properties of PVA. The developed films are eco-friendly, low-cost, and exhibit promising potential for use in optoelectronic devices, UV-shielding coatings, and nonlinear optical applications.

寻找具有可调光学特性的环保材料鼓励了在聚合物复合材料中使用天然染料。本研究将从洋葱皮废料中提取的洋葱皮染料（OPD）掺入聚乙烯醇（PVA）中，以改善其光学性能。采用简单的铸造工艺制备了柔性PVA:OPD薄膜，并对其结构和光学性能进行了系统的研究。FTIR分析证实了opd中特征官能团的存在，并揭示了与PVA矩阵的强相互作用。紫外可见性研究表明，染料掺杂显著改变了光学响应。直接跃迁的光带隙从5.38 eV减小到2.83 eV，间接跃迁的光带隙从4.55 eV减小到1.95 eV，而Urbach能量从0.33 eV增加到0.66 eV，表明局域态和结构无序性增强。Wemple-DiDomenico模型得到的色散参数也发生了显著变化：Ed和Eo分别在1.05 ~ 1.18 eV和2.64 ~ 4.22 eV之间变化；振子强度（N/m∗）由0.457×1053增加到8.294×1053；等离子体频率（ωp）由1.149×1013上升到4.898×1013 Hz。此外，谐振波长（λo）在低能处从305.9 nm变为560.6 nm，在高能处从134.1 nm变为353.9 nm，证实了介质行为的强烈改变。这些结果表明，天然OPDs可以有效地调整PVA的线性和非线性光学特性。所开发的薄膜环保、低成本，在光电器件、紫外线屏蔽涂层和非线性光学应用中具有广阔的应用前景。
