“…The extent of wettability is evaluated by the value of the contact angle in degrees. Young's equation is used for describing the relationship between an ideal solid surface and a probe liquid which is given below in eq 10: cos sv sl lv (10) where the interfacial tension at the different interfaces is represented as γ sv at the solid−vapor interface, γ sl at the solid− liquid interface, and γ lv at the liquid−vapor interface, respectively.…”

“…However, the translocation ability is dependent on the morphology of the nanostructure. 10 In various domains of science, ILs have been acknowledged as suitable solvents, and research related to them is steadily augmenting. ILs have tunable properties that can be tailored as desired merely by selecting relevant anions and cations to modify their hydrophilicity, density, viscosity, or polarity.…”

Effective pesticide utilization is an essential matter that needs attention, owing to the vast usage of pesticides worldwide. Herein, a pyrrolidinium-based ionic liquid (IL) 1-hexyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bromide [PyrC 6 ]Br − was chosen to solve the purpose of an adjuvant to enhance the surface activity and wettability of a pesticide nitenpyram (NTP). The critical micellar concentration of IL-NTP was evaluated using surface tension and spectrophotometric techniques, viz., UV−visible and steady state fluorescence. ΔG ads 0 and ΔG mic 0 were also calculated, and it was found that the adsorption process was favored over micellization. The sizes and stability of IL-NTP aggregates were analyzed using DLS and zeta potential measurements, respectively, which indicated optimum stability for IL-NTP when IL was present at its cmc value. The wettability of IL-NTP was found to be enhanced as compared to NTP in aqueous solution by evaluating it on various crop leaves using static contact angle measurements. Further, DFT calculations were performed which revealed complex formation between IL and NTP and various thermal and physiochemical parameters were obtained and it was found that IL and NTP bind through electrostatic interactions. Our results suggest an improved effect of IL on NTP, which could help in developing an IL-NTP composition that might result in better activity on crops.

“…Hydrogels with a static crosslinking approach demonstrated their applications in drug delivery for many years [ 98 , 207 ]. Certain limitations associated with this approach are less mechanical strength, uncontrolled release and high water content [ 208 , 209 , 210 , 211 ]. Comparatively, self-healing hydrogels as modified versions proved to be promising candidates in drug delivery with controlled release, flexibility, and restoring mechanism that also prevents wear and tear and active ingredients leakage [ 210 ].…”

Temperature-induced, rapid changes in the viscosity and reproducible 3-D structure formation makes thermos-sensitive hydrogels an ideal delivery system to act as a cell scaffold or a drug reservoir. Moreover, the hydrogels’ minimum invasiveness, high biocompatibility, and facile elimination from the body have gathered a lot of attention from researchers. This review article attempts to present a complete picture of the exhaustive arena, including the synthesis, mechanism, and biomedical applications of thermosensitive hydrogels. A special section on intellectual property and marketed products tries to shed some light on the commercial potential of thermosensitive hydrogels.

“…In recent years, carbon-based nanostructures including carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene and its derivatives, such as graphene oxide (GO), have been utilized extensively for the separation of heavy metals. This is because of the non-toxic nature of these nanostructures as well as their increased adsorption capacity [ 81 , 82 ]. These materials are discussed below.…”

Water contamination is one of the most urgent concerns confronting the world today. Heavy metal poisoning of aquatic systems has piqued the interest of various researchers due to the high toxicity and carcinogenic consequences it has on living organisms. Due to their exceptional attributes such as strong reactivity, huge surface area, and outstanding mechanical properties, nanomaterials are being produced and employed in water treatment. In this review, recent advances in the use of nanomaterials in nanoadsorptive membrane systems for wastewater treatment and heavy metal removal are extensively discussed. These materials include carbon-based nanostructures, metal nanoparticles, metal oxide nanoparticles, nanocomposites, and layered double hydroxide-based compounds. Furthermore, the relevant properties of the nanostructures and the implications on their performance for water treatment and contamination removal are highlighted. The hydrophilicity, pore size, skin thickness, porosity, and surface roughness of these nanostructures can help the water permeability of the nanoadsorptive membrane. Other properties such as surface charge modification and mechanical strength can improve the metal adsorption effectiveness of nanoadsorptive membranes during wastewater treatment. Various nanocomposite membrane fabrication techniques are also reviewed. This study is important because it gives important information on the roles of nanomaterials and nanostructures in heavy metal removal and wastewater treatment.
