Organophosphate-Cyclodextrin Inclusion Complex for Flame Retardancy in Doped Cellulose Acetate Butyrate Melt-Spun Fibers

Aug 2, 2023Tamas SohajdaToday's cyclodextrinflame retardant, toxicity

Today’s cyclodextrin:
Organophosphates are widely used flame retardants (FR) in everyday applications, and their leaching over time is a gaining concern. In this research, 9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene-10-oxide was chosen as a representative organophosphate FR to examine inclusion complex formation with γ-CD to enhance char formation as well as prevent the unnecessary release of toxic FR chemicals.

Transport Properties of Carbohydrates: Towards the Minimization Toxicological Risks of Cobalt and Chromium Ions

Jun 12, 2023Tamas Sohajdacarbohydratesdental health, toxicity

Cobalt and chromium are constituents of metal alloys for biomedical use, including dental prostheses. Thus, the release of these ions in the human body can lead to harmful biological effects.
The influence of oligosaccharides (α-, β-and γ-cyclodextrin), and a polysaccharide, sodium hyaluronate, on the diffusion of aqueous solutions of cobalt and chromium chlorides is presented by Ana Catarina Ribeiro et al. at Universidade de Coimbra.
It has been found that β-cyclodextrin has the highest interaction towards cobalt and chromium ions. This work will contribute to unveiling the mechanisms responsible for transport by diffusion in aqueous solutions and, therefore, mitigating the potential toxicity inherent to those metal ions.
