ABSTRACT:The intrinsic equations of state for the isothermal, isobaric, isochoric and isoentropic ensembles based on the pressure-volume-temperature-entropy equations of state, P-V-T-S Eos, of polyethylene (PE) reported in our previous works were modified by taking into account a thermodynamic condition at a zero Kelvin limit, such as the entropy and heat capacity are zero at 0 K. The thermodynamic interrelations between the derivatives in the various ensembles were derived from the intrinsic equation of state in the various ensembles, in which a typical interrelation, (∂CV∂V)T=T(∂2P∂T2)V, was considered. The three dimensional plots (3D plot) indicating the interrelation, such as the 3D( TV,V,(∂CV∂V)T) and the 3D(TV,V,T(∂2P∂T2)V) plots, were determined based on the modified intrinsic equation of state and compared to examine the accuracy of the intrinsic equations of state where CV is the isochoric heat capacity and the subscripts T and V mean the isothermal and isochoric ensembles, respectively.Keywords: Intrinsic equation of stateisothermalisobaricisochoricisoentropicthermodynamic derivativesDisclaimerAs a service to authors and researchers we are providing this version of an accepted manuscript (AM).

AbstractPhenolic epoxy resin (F51) was first reacted with silane coupling agent (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (KH550) to form a silanized phenolic epoxy resin (SPER); then the SPER was copolymerized with methylphenyl silicone resin (MPS) to synthesize phenolic epoxy modified silicone copolymer (PEMSC). The chemical structure of the PEMSC was characterized by FT-IR. The results of tensile strength and shear strength measurements indicated that the successful introduction of F51 significantly improved the mechanical and adhesive properties of the PEMSC; compared with the PEMSC with 10 phr of F51 added, the tensile strength and shear strength of the PEMSC with 40 phr increased by 8.5 and 3.5 times respectively. The TGA and DTGA analysis showed that the initial thermal decomposition temperature and the residual weight of PEMSC at 800 °C decreased compared to MPS, but the temperature corresponding to the maximum thermal decomposition rate in the second stage increased. Qualitative analysis was conducted on the decomposition products of PEMSC using gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The results showed that the relative content of aromatic hydrocarbons and their derivatives in the decomposition products of PEMSC was 64.11%, and the relative content of cyclic trimers and higher cyclomers was 20.41%.Keywords: Phenolic epoxyMethylphenyl siliconeTensile strengthShear strengthThermal propertiesDisclaimerAs a service to authors and researchers we are providing this version of an accepted manuscript (AM).

AbstractEpoxy sheet molding compound (ESMC) composites have excellent mechanical properties, dimensional stability and electrical insulation, and are widely used in the automotive industry. In our previous work silane coupling agent modified, hollow glass microspheres (SiHGM) and montmorillonite (MMT) were incorporated to enhance the mechanical properties of the ESMC composites. It was found that the ESMC composites containing MMT (EP/SiHGM/MMT-1) exhibited excellent mechanical strength. However, the flammability of the epoxy resin (EP) limits the use of ESMC composites for applications that require good flame retardancy. In this paper we describe our research in which MMT was used to increase the flame retardancy of ESMC composites. The results showed that the addition of MMT made the ESMC composites have excellent flame retardancy. The limiting oxygen index (LOI) of the ESMC composites containing 1 phr MMT (EP/SiHGM/MMT-1) was 26.8%, which was 8.94% higher than that of the ESMC composites without MMT (EP/SiHGM/MMT-0). In addition, the peak heat release rate (PHRR), average heat release rate (AHRR) and total heat release (THR) of the EP/SiHGM/MMT-1 were 322.8 kW/m2, 95.3 kW/m2 and 38.6 MJ/m2, respectively, which were 22.6%, 8.2% and 8.0% lower than those of EP/SiHGM/MMT-0. The carbon monoxide production (COP) and carbon dioxide production (CO2P) of EP/SiHGM/MMT-1 were 0.0092 g/s and 0.2071 g/s, respectively, which were 34.3% and 22.8% lower than those of EP/SiHGM/MMT-0. The fire growth index (FGI) of EP/SiHGM/MMT-1 was 2.4, which was a decrease by 29.4% compared to EP/SiHGM/MMT-0. In addition, the flame retardant mechanisms were revealed. We suggest that MMT promoted dehydration and charring of the epoxy resin and helped construct an intact physical barrier, which had good blocking effects. The prepared composite has great application prospects for those occasions that require high flame retardancy. Thus, this work provides an innovative strategy for preparing low density epoxy composites with excellent flame retardancy and high mechanical properties.Keywords: MontmorilloniteEpoxy sheet molding compoundFlame retardancyBlocking effectsEvolved gas analysisFlame retardant mechanismsDisclaimerAs a service to authors and researchers we are providing this version of an accepted manuscript (AM).

AbstractIn this study we prepared a poly(lactic acid)/ethyl cellulose (PLA/EC) bioplastic blend film by melt pressing after solvent casting and investigated the optical, thermal, and mechanical properties in relation to the structural changes revealed by various microscopies and scattering measurements. Despite the immiscibility of PLA and EC, the blend film exhibited good optical transparency due to the close match in their refractive indices. A second run of differential scanning calorimetry during heating revealed a decrease in the glass transition temperature ( TgPLA) and melting point ( TmPLA) of PLA with EC although EC had the higher values. Thermomechanical analysis suggested that these decreases were due to the negative pressure generated due to the suppression of PLA shrinkage below TgEC and above TgPLA during cooling. Furthermore, ductile drawing of the blend film (70/30) at an optimal temperature of 70 °C above TgPLA resulted in a uniform whitening near 100 % strain. Delamination at the interface between the PLA matrix and EC domain led to the formation of micrometer-sized oriented voids, which enhanced the refractive index difference in the phase-separated structure, thereby scattering light and achieving the uniform and oriented white blend film.Keywords: Poly(lactic acid)Ethyl celluloseImmiscible bioplastic blendOptical transparencynegative pressureDisclaimerAs a service to authors and researchers we are providing this version of an accepted manuscript (AM).

ABSTRACTThe increased micro-capacitance of a poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) matrix can effectively improve the piezoelectric properties of the composite material. This work used chemically modified carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as the main reinforcement material. Atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) was used to graft polyionic liquids (PILs) with different hydrophilic anions to the CNTs’ surfaces. Solution casting and compressive melt molding were used to prepare the PVDF-composite piezoelectric films. Micro-capacitance formed by the PIL grafted CNTs dispersed well in the PVDF matrix, and their effects on the crystalline form and piezoelectric properties were studied. The hydrophobic hexafluorophosphate anion (-PF6-) can significantly improve the CNTs dispersion and enhance the micro-capacitance formation in the PVDF matrix. During solution crystallization, the synergistic effect of CNTs and PIL on the PVDF and the solvent effect made the content of β phase of PVDF/CNTs@PIL-PF6 film reach 80.2%, resulting in a high dielectric constant of 188 and a piezoelectric coefficient of 36. In the process of melt crystallization, due to shear stretching and extrusion, the CNTs@PIL-PF6 had an obvious nucleation effect on the polar crystalline phase of PVDF, with a β phase content up to 99.3%, leading to the higher dielectric constant of 530 and the piezoelectric coefficient of 31. The current discovery provides a development direction for smart piezoelectric polymer matrix composites, which have great potential in preparing piezoelectric energy storage materials.KEYWORDS: poly(vinylidene fluoride)carbon nanotubespolyionic liquidpiezoelectricitydielectric propertiespolar phaseDisclaimerAs a service to authors and researchers we are providing this version of an accepted manuscript (AM).

AbstractThe inclusion complex of diphenylamine (DPA) in 2-hydroxypropyl β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) was synthesized by a co-precipitation method. The structure and molecular properties of the newly synthesized inclusion complex (DPA: HP-β-CD) were investigated along with a β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) inclusion complex (DPA: β-CD) using various analytical and theoretical methods. Phase solubility, absorption, fluorescence, Fourier transform-Infra-red spectroscopy (FTIR), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) techniques were used to investigate the structural properties of the DPA before and after being encapsulated by the CDs (β-CD and HP-β-CD). Further, the antioxidant and antibacterial activities were evaluated for DPA and the inclusion complexes (DPA: β-CD and DPA: HP-β-CD). The structure of the inclusion complexes was proposed based on the experimental results and their structural optimization was done using Becke’s three parameter density functional theory using Lee-Yang-Parr’s 3-21G method in the gas phase. Then the various theoretical molecular properties, such as frontier molecular orbitals (FMO), molecular electrostatic potential map (MEP), Mulliken atomic charges, natural bond orbitals (NBO), electron localisation function (ELF), localized orbital locator (LOL), quantum theory of atoms in a molecule (QTAIM) and non covalent interactions - reduced density gradient (NCI-RDG) were studied for DPA and its inclusion complexes using the Gaussian 09W software and Multiwyn 3.8 tool.Keywords: Inclusion complexAntioxidantAntibacterialNBOELFLOLQTAIMNCI-RDGDisclaimerAs a service to authors and researchers we are providing this version of an accepted manuscript (AM).

The structure and molecular properties of the newly synthesized inclusion complex (DPA: HP-β-CD) were investigated along with a β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) inclusion complex (DPA: β-CD) using various analytical and theoretical methods. Phase solubility, absorption, fluorescence, Fourier transform-Infra-red spectroscopy (FTIR), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) techniques were used to investigate the structural properties of the DPA before and after being encapsulated by the CDs (β-CD and HP-β-CD). Further, the antioxidant and antibacterial activities were evaluated for DPA and the inclusion complexes (DPA: β-CD and DPA: HP-β-CD). The structure of the inclusion complexes was proposed based on the experimental results and their structural optimization was done using Becke’s three parameter density functional theory using Lee-Yang-Parr’s 3-21G method in the gas phase. Then the various theoretical molecular properties, such as frontier molecular orbitals (FMO), molecular electrostatic potential map (MEP), Mulliken atomic charges, natural bond orbitals (NBO), electron localisation function (ELF), localized orbital locator (LOL), quantum theory of atoms in a molecule (QTAIM) and non covalent interactions - reduced density gradient (NCI-RDG) were studied for DPA and its inclusion complexes using the Gaussian 09W software and Multiwyn 3.8 tool.Keywords: Inclusion complexAntioxidantAntibacterialNBOELFLOLQTAIMNCI-RDGDisclaimerAs a service to authors and researchers we are providing this version of an accepted manuscript (AM).

AbstractThis study focuses on the development and characterization of molecularly imprinted thin films in the absence and presence of a liquid crystal monomer, as well as the evaluation of these materials for recognition of the herbicide 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). Molecular imprinted polymers (MIPs) and non-imprinted polymers (NIPs) were prepared by using two functional monomers, n-butylmethacrylate (BMA) and liquid crystalline (LC) 6-(4-cyanophenyl-4'phenoxy) hexyl acrylate (A6OCB). The resulting (MIPs) and (NIPs) materials were characterized by infra-red spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy, polarized optical microscopy (POM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The entire monomer consumption, as well as the successful loading and extraction of the 2,4-D molecules, were validated by FTIR and Raman analyses. POM and AFM characterization revealed that the percentage of liquid crystal influenced the distribution of the liquid crystal domains, and that the MIP films exhibited remarkable porosity. The experimental results revealed that the MIP films had a substantially higher adsorption capacity towards 2,4-D than the NIP materials, and that increasing the liquid crystal content increased the adsorption capacity of both the MIP and NIP films. The selectivity tests in the presence of phenoxyacetic acid (POAc) showed that the MIP films exhibited higher affinity for 2,4-D than for the POAc.Keywords: Imprinted polymerliquid crystalrecognition capacityselectivity factor2,4-D extractionDisclaimerAs a service to authors and researchers we are providing this version of an accepted manuscript (AM).

AbstractIn this study chitosan (CS) films were prepared from a deep eutectic solvent (DES) composed of choline chloride and malonic acid by solvent casting, and the influence of DES content on the structure and properties of the CS films was investigated in detail. It was confirmed by the spectral data that hydrogen bonds and ionic bonds were formed between the CS chains and DES. Structural analysis demonstrated that the crystallization of the CS was greatly hampered and the CS chains were stacked disorderly in films with high DES content. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) results indicated that DES exerted a significant plasticizing effect. In the case of the plasticized film containing 80 wt% of DES it showed a low glass transition temperature (Tg) of 20 °C. With increasing DES content, the water content of the plasticized films also increased, evidenced by the TGA results. Meanwhile, a structural change from granular to lamellar structure was observed by SEM. In addition, compared with pure CS film, the DES plasticized CS films possessed good fracture toughness and hydrophilicity. These observations suggest that the structure and properties of the CS films can be controlled by changing their DES content.Keywords: ChitosanDeep eutectic solventhydrogen bondsplasticizing effectmechanical propertiesDisclaimerAs a service to authors and researchers we are providing this version of an accepted manuscript (AM).

AbstractPorous microcarriers as cell carriers have attracted extensive research interest in tissue engineering. In this work sodium alginate (SA) and sodium alginate/platelet-rich plasma (SA/PRP) porous microcarriers cross-linked by SrCl2 (SA-Sr2+ and SA/PRP-Sr2+) were prepared using an emulsion method combined with a freeze-drying method. The in-vitro degradation behaviors of the SA-Sr2+ and SA/PRP-Sr2+ porous microcarriers in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) were investigated. The cell proliferation ability and osteogenic activity of the SA-Sr2+ and SA/PRP-Sr2+ porous microcarriers were investigated by culturing rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (rBMSCs). During the degradation process, the degradation behaviors, including changes of the pH of the PBS and the weight loss and morphology, of both the SA-Sr2+ and SA/PRP-Sr2+ porous microcarriers showed a similar change. After 6 weeks of degradation, parts of both the SA-Sr2+ and SA/PRP-Sr2+ porous microcarriers collapsed. The SA/PRP-Sr2+ porous microcarriers showed higher cell proliferation ability and osteoinductive ability than the SA-Sr2+ porous microcarriers during a culture time of 14 days.Keywords: sodium alginateplatelet-rich plasmaporous microcarriersin-vitro degradationbiocmpatibilityDisclaimerAs a service to authors and researchers we are providing this version of an accepted manuscript (AM).
