Polyacrylamide-zeolite composite was prepared by direct polymerization of polyacrylamide in suspensions of β-zeolite. Phytic acid was then immobilized on the composite surface. Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FT-IR), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Thermal gravimetry (TG) techniques were employed to characterize the synthesized adsorbent. The adsorptive features of the composite and the modified composite were investigated for the removal of Pb2+ from aqueous solution in view of dependency on pH, time, ion concentration, temperature, selectivity, kinetics and reusability. The adsorption isotherms were evaluated with reference to the Langmuir and Freundlich models. Thermodynamic of the system was calculated. ΔG<0 indicated that the adsorption process was spontaneous. Good compatibility of the adsorption kinetics to the pseudo-second-order model predicted that the rate-controlling step was a chemical sorption. The selectivity experiments showed that the adsorbents were selective toward Pb2+ in the presence of Zn2+ and Cd2+. The reusability of the adsorbent was tested for four regeneration cycles.

We determined the in vitro corrosion resistance of the composite chitosan-silver(I) [Ag(I)] ion coating on the cobalt-chromium-molybdenum (CoCrMo) dental alloy in a 0.9% sodium chloride (NaCl) solution at 37°C. We obtained the novel composite chitosan–Ag(I) ion coating by electrophoretic deposition at 20 V for 30 s at room temperature in a 2% (v/v) aqueous solution of acetic acid with 1 g dm–3 chitosan and 10 g dm–3 silver nitrate. We evaluated the chemical composition with energy dispersive spectroscopy and Fouriert-ransform infrared spectroscopy. We investigated surface topography and electronic properties with a scanning Kelvin probe. We determined the mechanism and kinetics of the electrochemical corrosion of the obtained coatings by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The Ag content in the composite chitosan–Ag(I) ion coating was 1.9 ± 1 wt.%. The cataphoretic co-deposition of chitosan and Ag(I) ions in an aqueous solution can be used to modify the CoCrMo alloy surface to obtain new coatings with antibacterial properties.

In this work we present the preparation of conductive polyethylene/carbon nanotube composites based on the segregated network concept. Attention has been focused on the effect of decreasing the amount of filler necessary to achieve low resistivity. Using high- and low-grade single-walled carbon nanotube materials we obtained conductive composites with a low percolation threshold of 0.5 wt.% for high-grade nanotubes, about 1 wt% for commercial nanotubes and 1.5 wt% for low-grade material. The higher percolation threshold for low-grade material is related to low effectiveness of other carbon fractions in the network formation. The electrical conductivity was measured as a function of the single-walled carbon nanotubes content in the polymer matrix and as a function of temperature. It was also found that processing parameters significantly influenced the electrical conductivity of the composites. Raman spectroscopy was applied to study single wall nanotubes in the conductive composites.

In the present work, we successfully used electrophoretic deposition to produce a new composite chitosan-copper(II) [Cu(II]) ion coating on grade 4 titanium (Ti). We prepared the coating with an environmentally friendly in situ chemical reduction process from a 2% (v/v) aqueous acetic acid solution with 1 g dm–3 chitosan and 10 g dm–3 copper acetate at 20 V for 300 s at room temperature. We evaluated the relationship between physicochemical properties and corrosion resistance of the coatings with energy dispersive spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, a scanning Kelvin probe, and electrochemical methods. The composite coating contained 2.1 ± 0.1 wt.% of Cu, which ensures antibacterial activity. We determined the mechanism and kinetics of the electrochemical corrosion of the composite chitosan–Cu(II) ion coating on grade 4 Ti in saline solution (0.9% sodium chloride) at 37°C. The surface modification makes grade 4 Ti a more attractive material for use in dentistry.

In this review, the research devoted to synthesising chitosan apatites, their biologically active properties, and their application in medical practice is analysed. The data are from articles published between 2001 and 2022 on the formation of calcium- and phosphorus-containing chitosan composites and the mechanism of their interaction
