© 2022 American Chemical Society. All rights reserved.Activated bleach systems have the potential to produce more efficient kinetically potent bleaching systems through increased oxidation rates with reduced energy cost and less time, hence causing less cellulose polymer chain damage or degradation than conventional hot peroxide bleaching. This article presents a study at the molecular level of a novel and more sustainable cationic bleach activator for cotton than aromatic-based cationic bleach activators using combined experimental and first-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations. In this study, a novel and aliphatic-based cationic bleach activator, N-[4-(N,N,N)-triethylammoniumchloride-butanoyl] butyrolactam (TBUCB), was synthesized and applied for hot peroxide-cotton bleaching to optimize the bleaching conditions at lower temperatures. To improve the bleaching efficiency in the presence of TBUCB, the limitations of TBUCB, namely, the limitations of peracid generation in situ, have been identified using DFT calculations. First-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to elucidate the reaction mechanism via identifying plausible transition state(s) of the nucleophilic attack of perhydroxyl anion (HOO-) at different carbonyl carbons and the advantages and limitations of the TBUCB activator for hydrogen peroxide bleaching for cotton. The results obtained showed that a whiteness index greater than 80 for cellulose can be achieved using an activated H2O2-TBUCB bleaching system at a lower temperature, providing reduced energy costs while maintaining the integrity of cellulose polymer chains.

Simultaneous Crystallization and Strain Induction Enable Light-Emitting Germanium Nano/Microbridges for Infrared Lasers Unlu, Buse; Ghasemi, Milad; Yerci, Selçuk; Boztug, Cicek (2022-04-22) © 2022 American Chemical Society. All rights reserved.Tensilely strained germanium has been considered a suitable material platform for the realization of a monolithically integrated infrared laser that could allow the development of miniaturized photonic integrated circuits. The crystalline quality of germanium is one of the concerns in this regard since it has to be in the high-quality single-crystal form to endure the required amounts of tensile strain so that the material turns into a gain medium. For t...
Versatile-in-All-Trades: Multifunctional Boron-Doped Calcium-Deficient Hydroxyapatite Directs Immunomodulation and Regeneration Pazarçeviren, Ahmet Engin; Akbaba, Sema; Evis, Zafer; Tezcaner, Ayşen (2022-07-11) © 2022 American Chemical Society. All rights reserved.Osseointegration of implants depends on several intertwined factors: osteogenesis, angiogenesis, and immunomodulation. Lately, novel reinforcements allowing faster bonding with osseous tissue have been explored intensively. In this study, we hypothesized the use of boron as a major multifunctional ion to confer versatility to calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite (cHA) synthesized by a wet precipitation/microwave reflux method. By synthesis of boron-doped cal...
Differential Behavior of Metal Sulfides in Hydrothermal Plumes and Diffuse Flows Estes, Emily R.; Berti, Debora; Findlay, Alyssa J.; Hochella, Michael F.; Shaw, Timothy J.; Yücel, Mustafa; De Carlo, Eric H.; Luther, George W. (2022-06-16) © 2022 American Chemical Society. All rights reserved.Extensive sampling of high-Temperature hydrothermal fluids and diffuse flows within <2 m of the vent orifices at the 9°50′N East Pacific Rise (EPR) hydrothermal vent field reveals formation of nanoparticulate phases and rapid precipitation/aggregation of metal sulfide minerals upon mixing of vent fluid with ambient seawater. Here, we characterize metal sulfide phases via scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM, TEM) in addition to quantifying ...
Boron Cage Triggered Micellization of a Neutral-Cationic Block Copolymer and Preparation of Boron-Containing Layer-by-Layer Microparticles Aydemir, Umut; Ugur, Esma; Ermis, Cagdas; Aydemir, Fatma Nur; Ozdemir, Erhan; Banerjee, Sreeparna; Yıldırım, Erol; Akdağ, Akın; Erel Göktepe, İrem (2022-01-01) © 2022 American Chemical Society. All rights reserved.The preparation of a polymer carrier for a boron delivery agent is presented through a combination of experimental and computational studies. A dodecahydro-closo-dodecaborate (B12H12)2- (B12) anion was used as a model boron-containing agent due to its high boron content. Quaternized poly(2-vinyl pyridine)-b-poly(ethylene oxide) (QP2VP-b-PEO) was chosen as a model neutral-cationic block copolymer to construct the carrier. The electrostatic association bet...
Plasmonic light-management interfaces by polyol-synthesized silver nanoparticles for industrial scale silicon solar cells Birant, Gizem; Öztürk, İbrahim Murat; Doğanay, Doğa; Ünalan, Hüsnü Emrah; Bek, Alpan (2020-01-01) © 2020 American Chemical Society. All rights reserved.Plasmonic interfaces are used as an alternative and highly effective light management technique for solar cells. Topdown approaches produce well-ordered and carefully designed plasmonic structures for tailor-made light management; however, they are costly, and their fabrication is time-consuming. Thus, their utilization for industrial-scale solar cells is not trivial. It has been shown that dewetting is a cost- and time-effective bottom-up approach for t...
