Researchers around the world are looking for ways to improve or develop new technologies to mitigate the emissions of CO2 present in greenhouse gases. Amines are currently the most used substances to capture CO2. The ionic liquids (ILs), however, have also been considered promising materials. Recently, mixtures of ILs and amines have been studied f...

In this study, a new reactive surfactant was synthesized from cyanuric chloride and Jeffamine ED-600 or ED-2003, and then applied to the pre-reduced wool fabric in saturated neutral salt solution at low temperature. This treatment condition inhibited the wool swelling, making the surfactant mainly covalently bond on the scales of wool. The structur...

Carbon fiber-reinforced composite materials are widely employed in aircraft structures due to their high specific strength and high specific modulus. However, the poor impact resistance of carbon fiber reinforced composites creates challenges for aircraft design and maintenance. The introduction of a layer of glass fibers in the hybrid composites c...

In this work, a new strategy was developed to prepare Cr(VI)-imprinted polypropylene (PP) fibers-based materials for the adsorption of Cr(VI) from water. Granular PP was modified with dual monomers (glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) and acrylamide (AM)) by water-solid suspension grafting copolymerization. Then, this fibers morphology was obtained by melt...

Azopyrazole disperse dyes 8–12 could be synthesized either by condensing ethyl 3-hydroxy-2-aryldiazenyl butenoates 3–7 with S-methyl hydrazine carbodithioate 1 or by coupling the parent pyrazole 2 with diazotized aniline, p-substituted anilines and/or 4-aminoantipyrine. These dyes were applied to polyester fabrics using a high-temperature dyeing me...
