Summary: The understanding of morphology and crystallization in biopolymer blends allows for the manipulation of properties to meet specific requirements. In this study, the isothermal melt-crystallization process of PHB/PLLA blends was investigated using ATR-FTIR spectroscopic imaging and DSC. The results showed that increasing the fraction of blend component with a lower T-m and choosing polymers with a higher molecular weight can enhance the miscibility of the blend. Additionally, in-situ ATR-FTIR spectroscopic imaging combined with integrated absorbance profiles and DSC thermograms deepens the understanding of multi-component polymer systems.

Summary: Previous studies have shown the changes in optical, mechanical, and chemical properties of the oiled areas in works of art on paper due to oil absorption. However, the analysis of oil-impregnated mock-ups did not provide detailed information about the effect of different linseed oil formulations and paper support on the chemical changes that occur upon ageing. This study used ATR-FTIR and reflectance FTIR to investigate the impact of different materials on the development of chemical changes in the oiled areas.

Summary: This study examines the suitability of multivariate analysis methods for data treatment of Raman spectra of teeth. Different data treatment approaches were used to distinguish between groups. The results indicate that performing PCA analysis on raw or baseline corrected Raman spectra of teeth is not as efficient in evaluating samples with different treatments. Additionally, acquiring Raman spectra with a 785 nm laser improves the precision of data treatment methodologies.

Summary: Artemisia herba-alba, an endemic plant in Morocco, has been proven to be a natural, safe, and effective antibacterial and antifungal agent. The essential oils extracted from the plant showed significant antimicrobial and antifungal activities, with better results observed in the samples collected in June and September. The oxygenated monoterpenes present in the oils were found to contribute to their potent effects. These findings suggest that A. herba-alba essential oils could serve as a natural and safe alternative to synthetic drugs for preventing and treating pathogenic infections in food and health, as well as preserving wood against fungi.

Summary: This study investigates the efficiency of using a natural adsorbent for the first time to remove organic matter and heavy metals from a synthetic brassware effluent. The raw coal used in continuous adsorption experiments was collected from the Jrada region in Morocco. Various analytical methods were employed to evaluate the adsorption properties of the material before and after treatment, including SEM, EDX, XRD, and FTIR. The adsorption kinetics were evaluated to optimize the operating parameters, and the selected parameters were used to assess the COD removal abilities. The results showed that the fixed column with a granulometry of 40 μm, a flow rate of 3 mL/min, and a bed height of 18 cm exhibited competitive performance in removing both organic matter and heavy metals.

Summary: The recycling of waste mandarin peels into biochar (MRBC) has been used as a high performance and cost-effective adsorbent for treating polluted wastewater effluents. Batch adsorption studies were conducted to analyze the adsorption competency of MRBC on two dyes, methylene blue (MB) and basic fuchsin (BF), either in individual solutions or binary combinations. The results showed that MRBC was capable of effectively removing a high percentage of both dyes. However, the adsorption capacity decreased when the dyes were combined. The cost estimation of MRBC production and wastewater treatment indicated that both were relatively low.

Summary: This study synthesized Cs2NaInCl6 nanocrystals co-doped with Sb3+ and Tb3+ ions as probes for copper ions detection in lubricating oil. The introduction of Sb3+ effectively reduced the band gap of the host material and enabled energy transfer pathway for Tb3+ emission. The doped Tb3+ ions resulted in the suppression of emission due to electron transfer. The Cs2NaInCl6: 2.5 %Sb3+, 40 %Tb3+ NCs exhibited superior sensitivity and selectivity for copper ions detection.

Summary: Raman spectroscopy is commonly used for studying glassy materials in cultural heritage, but it is more difficult to interpret the spectra and apply the technique with portable instruments. In contrast, diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) can be used in archaeometric investigations as it is portable and non-invasive. However, there is limited application of this technique to historical glasses. This exploratory work demonstrates the potential of DRIFTS, in combination with portable X-ray Fluorescence (pXRF) and EDS microanalyses, for studying the composition and alteration of glass samples in cultural heritage.
