“…The polymerization process was then carried out utilizing the gamma irradiation approach. The mixed solution was placed into a polyethylene bag and treated with six gamma radiation dosages: (10,20,30,40,50, and 60 kGy). These processes resulted in developing a cross-linked PAAm hydrogel with sodium silicate inside the hydrogel matrix to give (PAAm-Si).…”

“…These absorbers do have certain drawbacks, though. For instance, inorganic sorbents displayed some intrinsic limits due to their high density and low oil sorption capabilities. , The bulk of naturally occurring organic sorbents had a low hydrophobicity, or capacity to repel water, which led to high water uptake. Development of novel sorbents with advantages in sorption capacity, selectivity, density, recyclability, hydrophobicity, lipophilia, and environmental friendliness was therefore necessary.…”

Aerogel is a high-performance thermal resistance material desired for high-temperature applications like dye-sensitized solar cells, batteries, and fuel cells. To increase the energy efficiency of batteries, an aerogel is required to reduce the energy loss arising from the exothermal reaction. This paper synthesized a different composition of inorganic− organic hybrid material by growing the silica aerogel inside a polyacrylamide (PAAm) hydrogel. The hybrid PaaS/silica aerogel was synthesized using different irradiation doses of gamma rays (10−60 kGy) and different solid contents of PAAm (6.25, 9.37, 12.5, and 30 wt %). Here, PAAm is used as an aerogel formation template and carbon precursor after the carbonization process at a temperature of (150, 350, and 1100 °C). The hybrid PAAm/silica aerogel was converted into aluminum/silicate aerogels after soaking in a solution of AlCl 3 . Then, the carbonization process takes place at a temperature of (150, 350, and 1100 °C) for 2 h to provide C/Al/Si aerogels with a density of around 0.18−0.040 gm/cm 3 and porosity of 84−95%. The hybrid C/Al/Si aerogels presented interconnected networks of porous structures with different pore sizes depending on the carbon and PAAm contents. The sample with a solid content of 30% PAAm in the C/Al/Si aerogel was composed of interconnected fibrils whose diameter was about 50 μm. The structure after carbonization at 350 and 1100 °C was a condensed opening porous 3D network structure. This sample gives the optimum thermal resistance and a very low thermal conductivity of 0.073 (w/m•k) at low carbon content (2.71% at temperature 1100 °C) and high v pore (95%) compared with carbon content 42.38% and v pore (93%) which give 0.102 (w/m•k). This is because at 1100 °C, the carbon atoms evolve to leave an area between Al/Si aerogel particles, increasing the pore size. Furthermore, the Al/Si aerogel had excellent removal ability for various oil samples.

In this study, the development of advanced materials for the removal of oil–water pollution was explored, with a focus on environmental protection. The primary novelty of this research involved the conversion of waste Linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) into a sponge-like material denoted as sLLDPE. The process of converting involved thermal treatment in castor oil, resulting in the creation of a porous structure within the material. This sLLDPE material exhibited remarkable oil adsorbent properties and demonstrated enhanced performance in the removal of various organic contaminants from both aqueous and oil-based systems. Furthermore, gamma irradiation-induced crosslinking reactions were implemented within a dose range of 0 up to 90 kGy to further improve its oil removal capabilities. Comparing samples subjected to a radiation dose of 50 kGy with those receiving no irradiation (0 kGy), it was observed that the maximum adsorption capacities for various oils, including crude oil, gasoline oil, motor oil, pump oil, and waste oil, increased significantly. Specifically, the adsorption capacities increased by approximately 216.2%, 235.3%, 24.1%, 111.5%, and 18.6% for the respective oils. It rapidly separated oil–water mixtures with ~ 100% efficiency in a column system and maintained performance over 20 reuse cycles. The converted sLLDPE sponge exhibited excellent organics removal across solvents. The findings of this study not only shed light on the impact of irradiation on polymeric materials but also contribute to our understanding of their potential applications in environmental cleanup processes.

Blending of the Thermodynamically Incompatible Polyvinyl Chloride and High-Pressure Polyethylene Polymers Using a Supercritical Fluid Anti-Solvent Method (SEDS) Dispersion Process

The experimental solubility data of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and high-pressure polyethylene (HPPE) in organic solvents (toluene, dichloromethane, and chloroform) at temperatures ranging from 308.15 to 373.15 K at atmospheric pressure are reported in the present paper. The solubility of the polymers (PVC and HPPE) in organic solvents (toluene, dichloromethane, and chloroform) was studied at temperatures between 298 and 373 K. The supercritical SEDS dispersion of PVC and HPPE polymer blends at pressures between 8.0 and 25 MPa and at temperatures from 313 to 333 K are reported in the present work. The kinetics of crystallization and phase transformation in polymer blends obtained by blending in a melt, and using the supercritical SEDS method, have been studied. The effect of the HPPE/PVC ratio on the thermal and mechanical characteristics of the polymer blends has been studied. For all studied polymer blends and pure polymers obtained using the SEDS method, the heat of fusion ΔfusH exceeds the values obtained by blending in the melt by 1.5 to 5) times. The heat of fusion of the obtained polymer blends is higher than the additive value; therefore, the degree of crystallinity is higher, and this effect persists after heat treatment. The relative elongation decreases for all polymer blends, but their tensile strength increases significantly.
