The study proposed an approach for synthesis‐Layered Double Hydroxide nanoparticles by the coprecipitation method in solution containing two divalent and trivalent metal salts, calcium, and aluminum. The synthesized calcium‐layered Double Hydroxide (CAL) used for intercalating an anti‐inflammatory drug with the purpose of obtaining controlling release rate, protecting of drug from decomposition and raising the poor aqueous solubility of drug. Mefenamic acid (ME) as anti inflammatory drug was intercalated into CAL from ion‐exchange route to preparation CAL/ME nanohybrids. An increase in the space of interlayer of the (002) plane from 8.06 Å in pristine CAL to 34.51 Å in the nanohybrid confirmed successful intercalation of ME anion into CAL framework, which was ordered in a bilayer fashion with the carboxylate functional groups in the interlayer gallery of CAL. The x‐ray diffraction and FTIR study indicated that the ME was successfully intercalated into interlayer space of CAL. The chemical composition of samples was evaluated by ICP‐OES and energy‐dispersive spectrum analysis. TG analysis confirmed that the thermal stability of intercalated ME in the form of nanohybrid was enhanced. dynamic light scattering and field emission scanning electron microscopy were determined the size of CAL particles. Finally, in vitro drug release experiments of nanohybrid at a PH of 4.8 and 7.4 showed sustained release profiles with ME anions as an anti‐inflammatory model drug.

ABSTRACT:The influence of compatibilization on the dynamic mechanical properties of polypropylene (PP) binary blends with polyamide-6 (PA6), Talc, and oxidized PP (OPP) was investigated. The oxidation of PP homopolymer was performed in a internal mixer by using air as a oxidizing agent (under atmospheric pressure) and dodecanol-1 as an accelerator at 180°C for 6[1-2] h [Abdouss, M.; Sharifi-Sanjani, N.; Bataille, P. J Appl Polym Sci 1999, 36, 10]. In the blends, OPP was used as a blend component and compared with PP over the whole concentration range. Pressed film blends of PP/OPP, PP/OPP/Talc, and PP/OPP/PA6 were examined by dynamic mechanical analyzer, thermal gravimetry analysis, and scanning electron microscopy. Mechanical properties such as tensile strength, modulus of elasticity, elongation, melt flow index, and hardness of the blends were measured.

Bubble‐bursting flow microextraction combined with gas chromatography as a green and sustainable microextraction method is used to determine some organophosphorus pesticide residues in water samples. The extraction process occurs at the surface of liquid–gas contact, where the analytes interact with the gas molecules in the bubble. The analytes are transferred to the surface of the sample solution by moving the gas bubbles upwards. The bursting of gas bubbles causes the analytes to disperse in the headspace. Eventually, they are collected for injection into the chromatography system. A one‐factor‐at‐one‐time approach was applied to optimize the independent variables in the proposed method. Validation studies were performed according to reliable guidelines. Under optimal conditions, the method indicated a dynamic linear range from 1.0 to 100.0 μg/L. The limit of detection and quantification of the method was 0.29–0.38 and 1.21–1.70 μg/L, respectively. The proposed method was successfully utilized to determine malathion, diazinon, profenofos, and ethion as the target analytes in various water samples with satisfactory relative recoveries ranged from 90.1 to 102.2%.
