Özet
The aim of this study is to develop innovative hybrid materials with high adsorption capacity for removing amoxicillin from aqueous media. The study synthesized an AB-type poly(ε-caprolactone)-block-poly(L-lactide) copolymer (PCL-b-PLLA) containing silver nanoparticles (Ag NP). A novel initiator, 2,4-difluorobenzyl alcohol (1), was used to initiate the sequential ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of ε-CL and L-LA, with tin octanoate Sn(Oct)2 as the catalyst. PCL (2) was synthesized by ROP of ε-CL at 115°C, using (1) as an initiator and Sn(Oct)2 as the catalyst. Subsequently, PCL-b-PLLA (3) was obtained via ROP of L-LA at 120°C in toluene, with (2) as a macroinitiator. The structures of the homo- and block copolymers were characterized using FT-IR and 1H NMR. Ag NP was synthesized via a green method using Helichrysum arenarium extract. Polymer-based composites containing Ag NPs possess functional surface properties that enhance selectivity and permeability, making them effective biocompatible adsorbents for removing contaminants from water. The nanoparticle content in the PCL-b-PLLA/Ag NP hybrid was analyzed by UV–Vis and TEM. For amoxicillin removal, both PCL-b-PLLA and PCL-b-PLLA/Ag NP were tested, achieving a maximum of 82% removal at pH 4.5 and 25°C. Adsorption studies were conducted in pure water and three wastewater samples to assess amoxicillin selectivity.
