This study presents the development of intelligent screen-printed labels for real-time food freshness monitoring. Using chitosan grafted with rosolic acid (RA) and immobilized on montmorillonite (MMT) through cationic exchange, a hybrid dye was synthesized and applied in screen-printing inks. The hybrid structure was characterized by XRD, TGA, and UV–vis, confirming improved thermal stability and maintained halochromic properties. SEM analysis showed consistent ink deposition on filter paper, while water contact angle (WCA) measurements demonstrated enhanced surface hydrophobicity due to the MMT. The labels exhibited clear pH-sensitive color transitions from yellow to purplish red (pH 2.0–12.0) and rapid ammonia sensitivity, with ΔE values exceeding 45.0 within 10 min. The labels also demonstrated excellent reversibility, storage stability, leaching resistance, and cytocompatibility. Practical tests on shrimp and milk confirmed the labels' ability to accurately monitor freshness through visible color changes. These findings highlight the potential of hybrid labels as effective, scalable freshness indicators for intelligent food packaging.

Currently, self-healing hydrogels prepared from the green process have been studied for various applications, especially in the biomedical field. This work fabricated the self-healing hydrogel based on sodium carboxymethyl cellulose/poly(vinyl alcohol)/montmorillonite by acidifying the mixture with citric acid. SEM measurements showed well-dispersed montmorillonite in the hydrogels. Cytotoxicity values >100% were seen with montmorillonite added, which indicated cell growth and no cell toxicity. Montmorillonite addition not only reinforced the networks but also improved self-healing ability. The tensile strength of the original uncut hydrogel with montmorillonite (P1C8M1) was 61 kPa, whereas the healed hydrogel showed 57 kPa. The hydrogel healed completely within 10 days, without any cracks, i.e., a 93% healing efficiency, or higher than the ~60% of the non-reinforced hydrogel. This confirmed strong hydrogen bond formation between the polymer and montmorillonite. The self-healing ability of this non-toxic hydrogel, reinforced with montmorillonite, makes it valuable for use in biomedical fields.

Cationic starch intercalated montmorillonite (Mt-CST) adsorbent was developed for the removal of basic dyes, namely, Basic Blue (BB66) and Basic Yellow (BY1) from aqueous solution. Cationic starches (CST) containing ammonium groups with the degree of substitution of 0.16 (CST1) and 0.69 (CST2) were successfully prepared from the reaction of low molar mass starch with (3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl trimethyl) ammonium chloride. A series of Mt-CST nanocomposites were prepared by controlling the mass ratios of Mt:CST. Adsorption of BB66 and BY1 from aqueous solution onto Mt-CST was studied. The adsorption capacity increased with decreasing of cationic groups in the CST or increasing the mass ratios of Mt:CST. The results showed that the Mt-CST11 nanocomposite with the mass ratio of Mt:CST1 of 69: 31 exhibited relatively high adsorption capacities for basic dyes. The results of adsorption behaviors of BY1 on Mt-CST11 and Mt-CST21 indicated that the adsorption processes followed well the Langmuir isotherm.

Poly(methyl methacrylate-co-butyl acrylate)/tetrabutylphosphonium modified montmorillonite (P(MMA-co-BA)/P-MMT) composite films were prepared by simple solution casting technique. P(MMA-co-BA) was synthesized through solution polymerization in the presence of benzoyl peroxide (BPO) as an initiator. After modification via cation exchange reaction by tetrabutylphosphonium bromide, the organoclay was dispersed in toluene and added into P(MMA-co-BA) solution. The well-dispersed mixture was cast by doctor blade technique to obtain the composite films. The P-MMT content in the composites was varied (i.e., 1, 2, 3 and 6 wt%) in order to study its effects on thermal stability, mechanical properties and UV shielding ability. The structure of P-MMT in the composites was investigated by XRD technique. The composites containing 1 and 2 wt% of P-MMT showed the d<inf>001</inf> peak slightly shifted to lower 2θ, indicating mainly intercalated structure occurred with some agglomerations of particles. The intercalated structure of P(MMA-co-BA)/P-MMT 2% composites was observed by TEM technique. The TGA results showed that degradation of the composites occurred at higher temperatures compared to that of their virgin polymer and the degradation point increased with P-MMT content. Tensile strength and Young's modulus of composites were higher than those of their original copolymer. By addition of 1-3 wt% of P-MMT, it could be seen that the higher the P-MMT loading, the higher would be the tensile strength and Young's modulus. The P(MMA-co-BA)/P-MMT composite films showed their screening ability in UV region, especially in the UV-B range, which is rather higher than that in the visible region.

Chitosan intercalated montmorillonite: Preparation, characterization and cationic dye adsorption
(2009-01-01)

Chitosan intercalated montmorillonite (Chi-MMT) was prepared by dispersing sodium montmorillonite (Na+-MMT) into chitosan solution at 60 °C for 24 h. The Chi-MMT was characterized by XRD, XRF and FT-IR. The intercalation was accomplished via the ion-exchange of Na+ ions with -NH<inf>3</inf>+ of chitosan, resulting in the expansion of d<inf>001</inf> from 1.42 nm of Na+-MMT to 2.21 nm of Chi-MMT. The chitosan content in the Chi-MMT measured by TGA was about 17 mass%. The adsorption capacity of Chi-MMT was investigated in comparison with the starting Na+-MMT and chitosan using three different cationic dyes, i.e. basic blue 9 (BB9), basic blue 66 (BB66) and basic yellow 1 (BY1). The Chi-MMT showed the highest adsorption capacity in the range of 46-49 mg/g when the initial dye concentration was 500 mg/L, being equivalent to 92-99 wt.% of dye removal. The adsorption capacities of Chi-MMT for all basic dyes increased with an increase of initial dye concentration. An increase of adsorption capability of Chi-MMT was attributed to the existence of intercalate-chitosan. It could enlarge the pore structure of Chi-MMT, facilitating the penetration of macromolecular dyes, and also electrostatically interact with the applied dyes. These results indicated the competency of Chi-MMT adsorbent for basic dye adsorption. © 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
