Fabrication of Alginate-carboxymethyl cellulose blend beads via Titanium(IV) oxide/Covalent organic frameworks hybrids under ultrasonic irradiation

In the present study, the novel Titanium(IV) oxide/Covalent organic frameworks (TiO2/COF) hybrid was introduced to Alginate-carboxymethyl cellulose (Alg-CMC) blend beads. The physicochemical properties of each sample were determined by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-Ray diffraction, and Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) analyses. FT-IR spectra of Alg-CMC/TiO2 and Ag-CMC/TiO2/COF represented the hybrid materials in the bio-NC beads. Moreover, TiO2 nanomaterials had an anatase crystality in the Alg-CMC matrix, and the crystal formation of these nanomaterials did not show any change in this blend polymer. Also, the morphology of these bio-NC have completely changed by adding TiO2 and TiO2/COF hybrid indicating that this hybrid could widely disperse in the Alg-CMC blend beads.
