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(ethylene
terephthalate) (PET) was subjected to depolymerization using propylene glycol (PG), and
subsequent 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 structural
characterization 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  - Copper from sulfate baths without and with added inorganic pigment particles based on strontium aluminate doped with europium and dysprosium (SrAl2O4: Eu2+, Dy3+) was electrodeposited on a brass cathode by a galvanostatic regime. Morphological, structural, and roughness analysis of the pigment particles, the pure (pigment-free) Cu coating, and the Cu coatings with incorporated pigment particles were performed using SEM, XRD, and AFM techniques, respectively. Hardness and creep resistance were considered for the examination of the mechanical properties of the Cu coatings, applying Chicot–Lesage (for hardness) and Sargent–Ashby (for creep resistance) mathematical models. The wettability of the Cu coatings was examined by the static sessile drop method by a measurement of the water contact angle. The incorporation of pigment particles in the Cu deposits did not significantly affect the morphology or texture of the coatings, while the roughness of the deposits rose with the rise in pigment particle concentrations. The hardness of the Cu coatings also increased with the increasing concentration of pigments and was greater than that obtained for the pigment-free Cu coating. The presence of the pigments caused a change in the wettability of the Cu coatings from hydrophilic (for the pigment-free Cu coating) to hydrophobic (for Cu coatings with incorporated particles) surface areas.

AB  - Oxidized cotton linters, TOCell, were used as an adsorbent or derived membrane there from by linterscross-linking with citric acid. The adsorption/desorption study of Pb2+, methylene blue (MB), and crystalviolet (CV) removal, was performed. Adsorption data fitting, obtained using the Langmuir model, gave116 mg g 1 (Pb2+), 179 mg g 1 (MB) and 482 mg g 1 (CV) at 25 ℃ for TOCell linters, while 101 mg g 1(Pb2+), 165 mg g 1 (MB) and 426 mg g 1 (CV) for TOCell membrane. After desorption dyes were subjectedto photocatalytic degradation while lead was transformed into stable lead phthalate (LP), and furtherused as filler in composites based on unsaturated polyester resins (UPR). UPR was synthesized fromwaste polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Structural characterization was performed using FTIR, SEM,and NMR methods. Composites loaded with acryloyl modified kraft lignin (A-KfL) and/or LP was testedfor tensile strength, Vickers microhardness, and fire resistance (UL-94 V method). The best mechanicaland fireproofing properties were obtained at 15 wt.% A-KfL and 40 wt.% Al(OH)3 addition. The resultsof the toxicity leaching test (TCLP) confirmed the environmentally safe stabilization of desorbed pollutantin the UPR matrix. Application of environmentally friendly membranes, susceptible to easy biodegradation, had low negative effects to the environment.
