The progressive accumulation of discarded plastic in the environment demands further development of waste management of plastic waste and conversion technologies of such waste to value-added materials. Recently, the conversion of plastic waste to functional materials via chemical recycling has attracted considerable attention. In this report, plastic waste (PET) was utilized for the preparation of a hydrogel-based catalyst via a cross-linking reaction of PET-derived oligo(terephthalamide)s followed by the electroless metallization. The polymeric matrix of PET-derived hydrogel plays multiple roles of (i) an adsorption media for noble metal ions such as Au3+ and Ag+, (ii) a reducing agent of Au3+ and Ag+ ions to Au0 and Ag0, and (iii) a matrix for the controlled growth of Au and Ag nanoparticles (AuNPs and AgNPs). The obtained hybrid hydrogels after metallization contained well-dispersed AuNPs and AgNPs of 6.1 ± 3.7 nm or 6.1 ± 1.4 nm size, respectively. The catalytic activities of the hybrid hydrogels with metal nanoparticles were studied in a model system of p-nitrophenol reduction in an aqueous solution. The hybrid materials of both Au@hydrogel and Ag@hydrogel were catalytically active for the reduction of p-nitrophenol, obeying the first-order kinetics. Importantly, the AuNPs or AgNPs in the hydrogel matrix preserved the original catalytic activity after multiple p-nitrophenol reduction reactions, showing a promising reusability of the catalysts. The proposed here approach aims to broaden the scope of conversion routes of plastic waste to value-added materials as well as to develop new types of polymeric matrices for templating and growth of metal nanoparticles for catalytic applications.

Ubiquitous on Earth DNA and other nucleic acids are being increasingly considered as promising biomass resources. Due to their unique chemical structure, which is different from that of a more common carbohydrate biomass polymers, materials based on nucleic acids may exhibit new attractive characteristics. In this study, fluorescent nanoparticles (biodots) were prepared by a hydrothermal (HT) method from various nucleic acids (DNA, RNA, nucleotides, and nucleosides) to establish the relationship between the structure of precursors and fluorescent properties of biodots and to optimize conditions for preparation of the most fluorescent product. HT treatment of nucleic acids results in decomposition of sugar moieties and depurination/depyrimidation of nucleobases, while their consequent condensation and polymerization gives fluorescent nanoparticles. Fluorescent properties of DNA and RNA biodots are drastically different from biodots synthesized from individual nucleotides. In particular, biodots synthesized from purine-containing nucleotides or nucleosides show up to 50-fold higher fluorescence compared to analogous pyrimidine-derived biodots. The polymeric nature of a precursor disfavors formation of a bright fluorescent product. The reported effect of the structure of the nucleic acid precursor on the fluorescence properties of biodots should help designing and synthesizing brighter fluorescent nanomaterials with broader specification for bioimaging, sensing, and other applications.

We report an electrochemical approach to extract methanol from lignin with a maximum efficiency of 95% under mild conditions of ambient pressure and a temperature of 75 °C. Hydroxyl radicals were generated from water over a platinum-sputtered anode and attacked the syringyl and guaiacyl units of the lignin. Methoxy groups in the units were demethylated to methanol with a yield greater than 40% through the formation of hemiketal intermediates. The electro-oxidation was coupled to cathode reactions that generated hydrogen in a helium flow and electric power in an air flow. Another important aspect of this approach is that no extra energy or effort was required to separate methanol from the reaction system. This technology can accelerate the replacement of fossil organic resources with renewable biomass resources.

Large topologically associated domains (TADs) contain irregularly spaced nucleosome clutches, and interactions between such clutches are thought to aid the compaction of these domains. Here, we reconstituted TAD-sized chromatin fibers containing hundreds of nucleosomes on native source human and lambda-phage DNA and compared their mechanical properties at the single-molecule level with shorter ‘601’ arrays with various nucleosome repeat lengths. Fluorescent imaging showed increased compaction upon saturation of the DNA with histones and increasing magnesium concentration. Nucleosome clusters and their structural fluctuations were visualized in confined nanochannels. Force spectroscopy revealed not only similar mechanical properties of the TAD-sized fibers as shorter fibers but also large rupture events, consistent with breaking the interactions between distant clutches of nucleosomes. Though the arrays of native human DNA, lambda-phage and ‘601’ DNA featured minor differences in reconstitution yield and nucleosome stability, the fibers’ global structural and mechanical properties were similar, including the interactions between nucleosome clutches. These single-molecule experiments quantify the mechanical forces that stabilize large TAD-sized chromatin domains consisting of disordered, dynamically interacting nucleosome clutches and their effect on the condensation of large chromatin domains.

Mass production and consequent accumulation of plastic wastes in the environment urges the development of technologies for the efficient plastic wastes utilization and valorization to materials and products to support circular economy. Here, we report a novel conversion of PET plastic to a magnetic microparticles adsorbent prepared by co-precipitation of Fe3O4 nanoparticles with oligomeric products of PET aminolysis. The obtained adsorbent represents highly water-dispersible oligo(terephthalamide) particles of several tens μm size embedding magnetic nanoparticles randomly distributed in the organic matrix. The PET-derived magnetic adsorbent was used for the rapid and facile magnetic separation of an anionic dye (Congo Red, CR) from dye simulated water samples. The adsorbent containing plenty of amine groups showed superb adsorption capacity for CR of ca. 780 mg/g which is pH dependent and optimal at pH 6.5. Furthermore, the microparticular, non-aggregative state of the adsorbent coupled with its magnetic functionality provided rapid saturation of the adsorbent with dye by ca. 70% of the equilibrium adsorption capacity within 5 min and possibility of instantaneous removal from solution by a magnet. The proposed here material design addresses simultaneously the problem of plastic wastes utilization and preparation of cost-effective and efficient adsorbents for environmental cleaning purposes.

Biomass-derived polymers are being increasingly utilized as eco-friendly functional materials in fields ranging from medicine and food to agriculture and environmental engineering. In this report, we developed a novel efficient method for improvement of soil materials based on in situ gelation of a polyion complex formed by biomass-derived carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and chitosan (CS). Self-organized network of polymer films and microfibers assembled via electrostatic interactions between oppositely-charged polyions interconnects particles of soil material and imparts the resulted composite with a considerable mechanical strength. Treatment of soil even with a high water content (ca. 30%) by a mixture of CMC and CS at m(CMC + CS)/m(soil) ratio of ca. 1% is sufficient to gain up to 150 kPa compression strength that further increases up to ca. 1 MPa after drying. Similar reinforcement effect by CMC-CS complex was observed for sand, and much higher yield strengths were measured for clay. Mechanical properties of soil materials strengthened by CMC-CS complex depended on structure and stability of CMC-CS polyion network and controlled by the polymerization degrees of macromolecules and the charge ratio between them. Being composed entirely of biomass-derived polymers, the proposed soil treatment system is particularly attractive due to environmental friendliness and sustainability and it can be utilized not only for the soil improvement but also for the construction of functional platforms for soil pollution control and remediation.

It has recently been shown that native ds-DNA and chitosan can coassemble without common phase separation and precipitation, forming a translucent homogeneous hydrogel. This simple approach consists of progressive charging of the polysaccharide through gradual acidification of a solution in the presence of DNA, which slowly strengthens the electrostatic interactions between them, ruling out fast and uncontrolled cooperative association, which is a well-known problem associated with coacervation. Homogeneous hydrogels thus fabricated demonstrated mechanical properties characteristic of quite strong physical hydrogels. Extraordinary mechanical strength and elasticity have been observed in aerogels prepared from an original hydrogel and also in hydrogels, which were restored by the rehydration of aerogels. Aerogels match highly cross-linked synthetic polyurethane foams despite DNA with chitosan being bound only via electrostatic interactions without using a toxic cross-linking agent. Owing to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and available renewable resources, hydrogels and aerogels might replace typical synthetic polymers. The fabrication of bionanocomposites with luminescent, sensing, and photocatalytic functionalities by entrapping quantum dots, titania nanoparticles, and dyes demonstrates some possible applications.

To ensure sustainable use of natural resources and circulation of materials, efficient methods of waste plastic conversion into value chemicals and scenarios for utilization of the latter are increasingly demanded. Here, we propose a method of waste PET bottles conversion to cross-linked hydrogels through PET aminolysis using tri- and tetraamines as a method of plastic waste valorization. Water-soluble oligomeric products of PET aminolysis were cross-linked in water using diglycidyl ether to get mechanically stable hydrogels that show typical polyelectrolyte behavior of polycations. PET-derived hydrogels abundant with amino groups and aromatic moieties were tested as adsorbents for an anionic dye such as Congo Red, and their absorption capacity towards dye was found to be ca. 500 mg/g. Beside demonstrated here application of PET-derived hydrogels for water cleaning from an industrial dye, utilization of such hydrogel materials in fields of environment, agriculture, separation, etc. are also anticipated.

Nucleic acids that exhibit a high affinity toward noble and transition metal ions have attracted growing attention in the fields of metal ion sensing, toxic metal ion removal, and the construction of functional metal nanostructures. In this study, fluorescent nanoparticles (biodots) were synthesized from DNA, RNA, and RNA nucleotides (AMP, GMP, UMP, and CMP) using a hydrothermal (HT) method, in order to study their metal ion sensing characteristics. The fluorescent properties of biodots differ markedly between those prepared from purine and pyrimidine nucleobases. All biodots demonstrate a high sensitivity to the presence of mercury cations (Hg2+), while biodots prepared from DNA, RNA, and guanosine monophosphate (GMP) are also sensitive to Ag+ and Cu2+ ions, but to a lesser extent. The obtained results show that biodots inherit the metal ion recognition properties of nucleobases, while the nucleobase composition of biodot precursors affects metal ion sensitivity and selectivity. A linear response of biodot fluorescence to Hg2+ concentration in solution was observed for AMP and GMP biodots in the range 0-250 μM, which can be used for the analytic detection of mercury ion concentration. A facile paper strip test was also developed that allows visual detection of mercury ions in solutions.

A novel magnetic fluid adsorbent (magnetic chitosan “fluid” MCF) was prepared via a one-step in situ co-precipitation procedure using inexpensive and environmentally friendly chitosan (CS) and iron precursor. The resultant ultrafine colloid was characterized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The sorption and desorption characteristics of the composite were studied using a common Congo Red (CR) anionic dye to evaluate the suitability of the MCF for anionic dye wastewater purification. As an important advantage, the dye adsorption could be achieved in a wide alkaline pH range and reached the equilibrium within 5 min demonstrating the superior properties of our material compared the previously reported CS-based adsorbents. The adsorption obeyed the Langmuir isotherm model with the remarkable maximum adsorption capacity of approx. 1700 mg/g for CR under neutral pH. NaOH treatment was utilized to desorb and regenerate MCF, while the removal rate still remained above 90% after recycling five times, demonstrating that the MCF could be employed for repeated use without significant capacity loss. MCF could be readily separated from water within 30 s under a low magnetic field (&lt
0.035 T). Overall, the ultrafine colloidal state of the synthesized MCF enabled a rapid pollutant uptake, high adsorption capacity, and reusability. The above characteristics of MCF and its environmentally friendly composition make it a very promising material for practical dyeing wastewater purification.

A method to prepare DNA-based multilayered microcapsules as a host matrix for synthesizing ultrasmall gold nanoparticles of 2-4 nm in size is presented. Utilizing the intrinsic affinity of DNA for transition metal ions, ionic gold was first efficiently concentrated inside the DNA-based multilayers assembled on a CaCO3 sacrificial template. Further reduction of ionic gold inside the multilayers resulted in the formation of high-density, well-dispersed 2-4 nm gold nano-particles distributed evenly and exclusively inside the polyelectrolyte multilayers. Metallized multilayers containing ultrafine gold nanoparticles showed a good performance in catalytic reduction of nitroaromatic compounds and the catalytic activity of gold nanoparticles was enhanced with a decrease of host multilayer thickness. The influence of the multilayer structure and composition on size and catalytic activity of gold nanoparticles is discussed.

In order to reduce the amount of wastes and to promote their reuse and recycle, valuable materials, such as minor and noble metals and their compounds, which were included in disposed reagents generated by academic activities in Nagoya University during the period of 2009 to 2012, have been investigated. Closed up herein were many problems, such as dumping hazardous materials without special care, the absence of a recycling system of valuable chemical wastes and wasting research budgets due to disposing reagents without opening bottles. In addition, establishment of a chemical library of minor elements as well as an exchanging system of information about chemical stocks in each laboratory for the purpose of their sharing.

Fluorescence microscopic observation on individual T4 DNA molecules revealed that MukBEF complex (bacterial condensin) and its subunit MukB (a member of SMC superfamily) homodimer of Escherichia coli shrunk markedly large DNA molecules in the presence of hydrolysable ATP. Contrary, in the presence of ADP or ATP-γS, the conformation of DNA was almost not changed. This suggests that the ATPase activity of subunit MukB is essential to shrink large DNA molecules. Stretching experiment on the shrunken DNA in the presence of ATP and MukBEF indicated cross bridging interaction between DNA molecules.

We have shown that upon UV irradiation of silver(I) ion solutions containing alcohol as reduction agents, metal nanoparticles are grown on a DNA polymer chain. This metallization is independent of the DNA double-helicity and is controlled by the chemical structure of alcohol as well as by the wavelength of the light source.

Fluorescence microscopy is used for visualizing the release of double-stranded DNA from its interpolyelectrolyte complex with positively charged poly(allylamine hydrochloride) though exchange reaction with added polyanion, poly(sodium styrenesulfonate). The switching of pathway of DNA release is due to the screening of electrostatic repulsion in charged sequences of naked DNA and the decrease of the osmotic pressure of counterions.

The compaction of long duplex DNA by cationic nanoparticles (NP) used as a primary model of histone core particles has been investigated. We have systematically studied the effect of salt concentration, particle size, and particle charge by means of single-molecule observations-fluorescence microscopy (FM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM)-and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. We have found that the large-scale DNA compaction is progressive and proceeds through the formation of beads-on-a-string structures of various morphologies. The DNA adsorbed amount per particle depends weakly on NP concentration but increases significantly with an increase in particle size and is optimal at an intermediate salt concentration. Three different complexation mechanisms have been identified depending on the correlation between DNA and NPs in terms of geometry, chain rigidity, and electrostatic interactions: free DNA adsorption onto NP surface, DNA wrapping around NP, and NP collection on DNA chain.
