The aim of this work was to produce chitosanase by fermenting from squid pen, and recover the fermented squid pen for dye removal by adsorption. One chitosanase induced from squid pen powder (SPP)-containing medium by Bacillus cereus TKU034 was purified in high purification fold (441) and high yield of activity recovery (51%) by ammonium sulfate precipitation and combined column chromatography....

A series of novel polyfunctionalized acyclic and heterocyclic dye precursors and their respective azo (hydrazone) counterpart dyes and dye precursors based on conjugate enaminones and/or enaminonitrile moieties were synthesized. The dyes and their precursors are based on 2-cyano-N-(3-cyano-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzo[b]thiophen-2-yl)-acetamide, 2-ethoxycarbonyl-N-(3-cyano-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzo[b]...

We report the observation of intensity feedback random lasing at 645 nm in Disperse Orange 11 dye-doped PMMA (DO11/PMMA) with dispersed ZrO2 nanoparticles (NPs). The lasing threshold is found to increase with concentration, with the lasing threshold for 0.1 wt% being 75.8 ± 9.4 MW/cm and the lasing threshold for 0.5 wt% being 121.1 ± 2.1 MW/cm, with the linewidth for both concentrations found t...

In this paper, two novel alkali clearable disperse dyes were synthesized. 4-flourosulfonyl aniline and 2-nitro-4-flourosulfonyl aniline were utilized as the diazo components and 2- naphthol as the coupling component. The DSC, FTIR, 1HNMR and UV-Vis analyses were used to characterize the synthesized intermediates and dyes. The synthesized dyes were used to dye polyester fibers and their dyeing p...

This work studies the effect of azobenzene dye Disperse Red 1 (DR1) doping and annealing on thermomechanical photomechanical properties poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) fibers. The mechanical are measured as a function temperature, pump light intensity, polarization. We find that with DR1 increases stiffness glass transition temperature (Tg) PMMA Moreover, below Tg decreases Young’s modulus Tg....
