摘要

Current scenario shows the need of low-cost adsorbent with the improved thermal and antimicrobial properties. The waste discorded and low-quality silk fibre satisfies the above requirements to some extent. The adsorption capacity of silk fibroin was increased by altering its structure chemically. ε-caprolactone (CL) was polymerized at 160 °C through ring opening polymerization (ROP) methodology for two hours with stannous octoate (SO) as a catalyst and silk fibroin as a macro chemical initiator. The second phase involved treating the oxydianiline (ODA) modified by cyanuric chloride (CC) with the Silk-g-PCL system at 85 °C for 6 h while in an environment of air. To serve as a baseline, the silk fibroin was immediately treated with the ODA-CC system in an environment of air at 85 °C for 6 h. FT-IR spectroscopy, DSC, TGA, SEM, EDX, FE-SEM, and proton-NMR spectroscopy were used to characterize the end products. Additionally, its adsorption characteristics towards Cr6+ and the dye Rhodamine 6G (R6G) were examined. The parameters of thermodynamics were established. The PCL grafted silk fibroin matrix was validated by a peak at 1725 cm−1 in the FT-IR spectrum. In the 1H-NMR spectra, a signal at 8.5 ppm indicated that silk fibroin had undergone structural change.
