AB  - Polyhydroxyoctanoate, as a biocompatible and biodegradable biopolymer, represents an ideal candidate for biomedical applications. However, physical properties make it unsuitable for electrospinning, currently the most widely used technique for fabrication of fibrous scaffolds. To overcome this, it was blended with polylactic acid and polymer blend fibrous biomaterials were produced by electrospinning. The obtained PLA/PHO fibers were cylindrical, smaller in size, more hydrophilic and had a higher degree of biopolymer crystallinity and more favorable mechanical properties in comparison to the pure PLA sample. Cytotoxicity evaluation with human lung fibroblasts (MRC5 cells) combined with confocal microscopy were used to visualize mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEF 3T3 cell line) migration and distribution showed that PLA/PHO samples support exceptional cell adhesion and viability, indicating excellent biocompatibility. The obtained results suggest that PLA/PHO fibrous biomaterials can be potentially used as biocompatible, biomimetic scaffolds for tissue engineering applications.

AB  - The present paper reports on pectin based films modified with carboxymethyl cellulose intended for food packaging. The films are prepared by solvent-casting method with different carboxymethyl cellulose content and cross-linker concentration (Ca2+ ions) in the presence of glycerol as a plasticizer. FT-IR spectra of the prepared films propose that carboxyl group from pectin are mainly involved in interactions with CMC, whereas −OH groups are mainly involved in self-associated hydrogen bonding of neat polymers. Further, an addition of carboxymethyl cellulose improved mechanical properties compared to pure pectin films, while TGA analysis confirmed satisfying thermal stability regarding their potential application as packaging material. Finally, water vapor permeability values are in the range of 1.32 × 10−7 up to 2.03 × 10−7 g/m h Pa.

AB  - The aim of this study was the development of novel polysaccharide based films intended to be used as edible food packaging material. The films were prepared by solution casting method using highly methoxylated pectin (PEC) and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) of various molecular weights (400, 600 and 1000 gmol(-1)) in different ratios (5:1, 3:1 and 1:1). The film formation was supported by hydrogen bonding between PEC and PEG, which was evidenced by means of ATR-FTIR and NMR analysis. TGA revealed that generally PEG behaves like a pro-degrading agent for pectin, except in the case of PEC/PEG film with a ratio of 1:1. Furthermore, DSC thermograms indicated that PEG1000 exists as a separate phase in the pectin matrix while the formulations with PEG400 and PEG600 showed mainly amorphous morphology. The addition of PEG enhanced the plasticization of PEC films, as evidenced by progressive decreasing of the glass transition temperature values (T-g). The tensile test measurements showed that increasing concentration of PEG produced weaker and more flexibile films. Due to the increased molecular mobility, the pectin phase became more permeable to water vapor as the PEG concentration increased. The obtained results showed that the combination of both polymers resulted in interesting bio -inspired edible films with the potential to compete with commercially used synthetic package materials.

AB  - Food packaging is an important part of the food industry wherein preservation and protection of all types of foods and their raw materials presents an imperative. Depending on water activity and temperature of storage, food material can be easily perishable and therefore needs appropriate protection against external influences in order to preserve it longer. Petrochemical based materials such as polyolefins, polyesters, and polyamides have been increasingly used as packaging materials, because of their availability in large quantities at low cost and satisfying functional characteristics. Despite all the advantages, these materials are totally nonbiodegradable and cause the problems in waste disposal. Therefore, the demands of the consumers have been shifted to ecofriendly biodegradable and biobased materials, obtained from renewable resources. Nonetheless, the usage of biopolymers has been limited due to the poor mechanical and barrier properties. The addition of nanofillers significantly improves the barrier, mechanical, and thermal properties of biobased materials, as well as petroleum-based materials. This chapter provides a review of implementation potentials and development of the nanocomposites materials based on polysaccharides (thermoplastic starch, chitosan, cellulose, alginate, pectin) in combination with various nanofillers with emphasis on mechanical, thermochemical, and barrier properties.

AB  - Asymmetric polyethersulfone membranes with submicron particles comprising crosslinked glycidyl methacrylate copolymer were prepared by a combination of a traditional immersion precipitation process for making membranes with photopolymerization and crosslinking of functional monomers included in the casting solution. As the concentration of polymerizable monomers increased the original macrovoid structure was replaced by a hybrid morphology with microglobules typical of macroporous methacrylate adsorbers embedded within microporous structure with no significant effects on water permeability. The epoxide groups present in glycidyl methacrylate copolymer were transformed into amine functionalities by ring opening under alkaline conditions. Permeation of Orange G solution at low transmembrane pressures was used to demonstrate suitability of these novel membranes for membrane adsorption.

AB  - The use of polymeric adsorbents for the removal of azo dyes from solution has been reviewed. Adsorption techniques are widely used to remove certain classes of pollutants from waters, especially those which are not easily biodegradable. The removal of azo dyes as pollutants from wastewaters of textile, paper, printing, leather, pharmaceutical and other industries has been addressed by the researchers. The wider use of already available adsorbents is restricted due to their high costs which lead to investigation and development of new materials that can be cheaper, eficient and easy regenerated. The aim of this article is to present to the readers the widespread investigations in recent years of synthetic and natural polymers as adsorbents and potential replacement of conventional adsorbents. This review presents only the data obtained using raw, hydrogel, grafted and crosslinked forms of synthetic and nature based polymers, and the discussion is limited to these polymer-based materials and their adsorption properties.
AB  - Intenzivan industrijski razvoj praćen je sve većom količinom otpadnih voda, što u smislu zaštite životne sredine i održivog razvoja nalaže potrebu poboljšanja postojećih i uvođenje novih postupaka obrade otpadnih voda. Posebnu naučno-tehnološku pažnju zahtevaju azo boje, koje su veoma toksične i u prirodi veoma teško razgradive. Azo boje su podložne bioakumulaciji, a zbog kancerogenih i mutagenih svojstava neretko su pretnja zdravlju ljudi i očuvanju okoline. Primenu fizičko-hemijskih metoda za uklanjanje azo-boja iz otpadnih voda često ograničavaju visoke cene, potrebe za odlaganjem nastalog štetnog mulja ili nastanak toksičnih sastojaka razgradnje. Adsorpcija je jedna od najzastupljenijih metoda za uklanjanje raznih zagađivača iz otpadnih voda zbog jednostavnosti, ekonomičnosti i efikasnosti ove metode. S obzirom da su konvencionalni adsorbenti, kao što je aktivni ugalj, veoma skupi, u poslednje vreme se sve više ulaže u ispitivanja i razvoj novih materijala za uklanjanje zagadjivača iz otpadnih voda koji će biti lako razgradivi, netoksični, jeftini i efikasni u njihovom uklanjanju.

abstract = "The use of polymeric adsorbents for the removal of azo dyes from solution has been reviewed. Adsorption techniques are widely used to remove certain classes of pollutants from waters, especially those which are not easily biodegradable. The removal of azo dyes as pollutants from wastewaters of textile, paper, printing, leather, pharmaceutical and other industries has been addressed by the researchers. The wider use of already available adsorbents is restricted due to their high costs which lead to investigation and development of new materials that can be cheaper, eficient and easy regenerated. The aim of this article is to present to the readers the widespread investigations in recent years of synthetic and natural polymers as adsorbents and potential replacement of conventional adsorbents. This review presents only the data obtained using raw, hydrogel, grafted and crosslinked forms of synthetic and nature based polymers, and the discussion is limited to these polymer-based materials and their adsorption properties., Intenzivan industrijski razvoj praćen je sve većom količinom otpadnih voda, što u smislu zaštite životne sredine i održivog razvoja nalaže potrebu poboljšanja postojećih i uvođenje novih postupaka obrade otpadnih voda. Posebnu naučno-tehnološku pažnju zahtevaju azo boje, koje su veoma toksične i u prirodi veoma teško razgradive. Azo boje su podložne bioakumulaciji, a zbog kancerogenih i mutagenih svojstava neretko su pretnja zdravlju ljudi i očuvanju okoline. Primenu fizičko-hemijskih metoda za uklanjanje azo-boja iz otpadnih voda često ograničavaju visoke cene, potrebe za odlaganjem nastalog štetnog mulja ili nastanak toksičnih sastojaka razgradnje. Adsorpcija je jedna od najzastupljenijih metoda za uklanjanje raznih zagađivača iz otpadnih voda zbog jednostavnosti, ekonomičnosti i efikasnosti ove metode. S obzirom da su konvencionalni adsorbenti, kao što je aktivni ugalj, veoma skupi, u poslednje vreme se sve više ulaže u ispitivanja i razvoj novih materijala za uklanjanje zagadjivača iz otpadnih voda koji će biti lako razgradivi, netoksični, jeftini i efikasni u njihovom uklanjanju. U ovom radu biće prikazan pregled iz literature polimernih materijala za uklanjanje azo boja iz otpadnih voda. Polimerni materijali pokazuju prednosti u odnosu na konvencio-nalne adsrobente zbog jednostavne upotrebe i rukovanja s njima i mogućnosti oblikovanja u pogodne i željene forme.

AB  - Polyethersulfone (PES) is frequently used for high-performance ultrafiltration membranes. Functionalization of PES membranes is required to introduce new groups for specific applications, such as affinity membranes for bioseparations [1]. Functionalization methods include bulk modification of PES material, blending of PES with another material, or surface modification of PES membranes [2]. In this work a novel method for introducing functional groups in asymmetric PES membranes is presented [3]. A cast film comprising PES, glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) and a common solvent was exposed to UV irradiation to form a gel of crosslinked polyGMA. The gel was then immersed in a water bath to create an asymmetric membrane with crosslinked polyGMA particles, as shown in Fig. 1. A simple treatment of these membranes with diethylene triamine was used to open the epoxide rings in polyGMA particles and introduce amine functional groups. The effects of monomer concentrations on the properties and separation performance of these novel membrane adsorbers will be presented.

AB  - Ultrafiltration (UF) membranes are currently used in industry for the concentration of proteins and other macromolecules. Performance of UF membranes is generally limited by a trade-off between permeability and selectivity [1]. However, electrically-charged ultrafiltration membranes can provide a dramatic improvement in ultrafiltration performance [2]. Novel UF membranes were made by combining traditional immersion precipitation process for making membranes with photopolymerization of the casting solution comprising polyethersulfone, glycidyl methacrylate and other reactive monomers. Negative charges were introduced either by initially using 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid as a reactive monomer, or were later created by epoxide ring opening of crosslinked glycidyl methacrylate. As shown in Fig. 1, selectivity of these membranes significantly improved as the concentration of negatively-charged groups in the membrane increased. The effects of membrane composition on the properties and separation performance of these novel UF membranes will be presented.

AB  - Ultrafiltration has recently become popular as a promising separation method in many industrial processes covering fractionation and concentration steps in the food, pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries as much as in water and wastewater treatments. This paper presents the synthesis of novel asymmetric polyethersulfone membranes containing an interpenetrating network of poly(glycidyl methacrylate) (PGMA). In order to improve the properties and application range of membranes, the epoxy groups from PGMA are converted to amine groups by ring opening under alkaline conditions. Membranes before and after functionalization are characterized by FTIR-ATR, elememtal analysis and water permeability.

AB  - Complexes based on amidated pectin (AP) and poly(itaconic acid) (PIA) were prepared by casting films from solutions of AP and PIA in different ratios with the pectin amount ranging from 10% to 90% by mass. The complexes were investigated by elemental analysis, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and thermogravimetry (TG). In all investigated ratios of AP/PIA glassy transparent films with a uniform structure were obtained. The results of elemental analysis confirmed the composition of the complexes, and FTIR spectroscopy has shown carboxylic and amide peak shifting, indicating complex formation between AP and PIA. Comparison of thermograms of AP/PIA films with different ratios of AP indicated that the increase of the amount of AP increases the thermal stability of the films by retarding the onset of the main degradation processes.
