Chitin and chitosan nanofibers (ChNF and CtsNF) are promising biomaterials due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and non-toxicity. This study investigates the cell adhesion properties and inflammatory responses of CtsNF, ChNF, and their mixtures when patterned on cellophane films using inkjet printing technology, keeping in mind their potential applications as cell culture scaffolds. The viscosities of 0.1 wt% aqueous dispersions of CtsNF, ChNF, and their mixtures were confirmed to be suitable for inkjet printing. Microstructures with varying thicknesses were fabricated by adjusting the printing parameters. Mouse fibroblast cells (L929) and mouse macrophages (RAW264.7) were used to evaluate cell adhesion and inflammatory responses. The results demonstrated that CtsNF microstructures exhibited excellent cell adhesion even for those as thin as ~140 nm and low inflammatory potential. This finding provides valuable insights into the development of advanced biomaterials for medical applications and could be instrumental in optimizing dosage settings for wound healing treatments as well.

With the rapid progress of the advanced electronic device industry, precision electronic instruments are gradually developing towards miniaturization. In this case, epoxy resin gradually attracts people's attention, but its intrinsic thermal conductivity is not high, and the resulting heat dissipation problem limits the further application of epoxy resin in the field of electronic packaging. Therefore, how to enhance the thermal conductivity of epoxy resins has become an urgent problem in the field of electronic packaging. In this work, BNNS was successfully prepared by stripping h‐BN into a flaky two‐dimensional material, which was added to the epoxy resin as a filler to make the composite material. And on the basis of the above, two‐dimensional micron silver flakes (AgMS) with different mass fractions were added to the composites, and the AgMS/BNNS/EP composites were successfully prepared. When BNNS was 25 wt% and AgMS was 1 wt%, its out‐of‐plane thermal conductivity was enhanced from 0.17 W m−1 K−1 of pure epoxy resin to 0.43 W m−1 K−1. When BNNS was 20 wt% and AgMS was 1 wt%, the breakdown strength was enhanced from 105 kV/mm for pure epoxy to 130 kV/mm. This work provides a new strategy for synthesizing high‐thermal‐conductivity epoxy matrix composites.

The activated carbon (AC) has been widely used in the field of electromagnetic protection because of its porous, hollow microstructure and excellent electrical conductivity. In this paper, AC was prepared through KOH activation process. The ACs/polyimide foam (PIF) composite was prepared in situ during the synthesis of PI and the ACs. In this paper, AC was prepared using the potassium hydroxide (KOH) activation process. The AC/PIF composites were prepared by mixing ACs and pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA) with methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI). The pore structure and surface morphology of the ACs were observed using nitrogen adsorption–desorption isotherms and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). After KOH activation with KOH, the surface area and total pore volume of ACs significantly increased by 79.31% and 0.9539 cm3/g, respectively, mainly were the microporous structure. X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results confirmed an increase in the oxygen content of ACs after KOH activation, indicating an increase in the relative hydroxyl content on the surface. The SEM resulting of the ACs/PIF composite has a well‐developed open cell structure. Thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) revealed that ACs significantly improved the thermal stability of the ACs/PIF composite. The compressive strength of the ACs/PIF‐3 increased from 518 to 834 KPa, significantly enhancing its mechanical properties. Simultaneously, the microwave absorption performance can be controlled and regulated by optimizing the impedance gradient of the skeleton. Results showed that when ACs constituted 8 wt% of the PIF, the real permittivity (ɛ′) and imaginary permittivity (ɛ″) of ACs‐PIF‐5 were approximately 2.03 and 0.025, respectively.

In this work we use ground tire rubber (GTR) powder obtained by grinding worn tire treads as reinforcer agent in flexible polyurethane (PU). Characterization of the microstructure of the as‐received powder is achieved using a series of standard techniques including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), granulometry‐laser, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and x‐ray diffraction (XRD). To have complementary physical information the composition and thermal characteristics of the GTR powder, thermogravimetry analysis (TGA) is also performed. The set of these preliminary characterizations shows that the GTR powder particles can be used as reinforcing fillers. For the purpose of good compatibility with the PU matrix, the GTR powder is subjected to chemical treatments for reducing the impurities on the powder particles and to create functional groups at their surface. Subsequently, a series of GTR/PU composite samples are prepared with different weight fractions of GTR using free rising foam method. The GTR/PU composites are then characterized to assess the effect of the GTR content and their chemically pre‐treatment on thermal stability, compression mechanical behavior as well as sound attenuation properties. Collectively, these results indicate a significant improvement of both thermal and mechanical properties of the GTR/PU composites compared to the pristine PU matrix. Furthermore, it is also emphasized that the sound absorption response shows a significant shift of the maximum of the absorption coefficient toward lower frequencies resulting from simultaneous increase in air‐flow resistivity and tortuosity which can have great potential application in the field of underwater acoustics. The effects of chemical treatments and GTR amount are also discussed. It is also shown that the results show improvement when H2O2 solvent is used in comparison with NaOH, and the optimal properties are reached for PU samples containing 20 wt% of GTR whatever the pre‐treatment is.

Polymer dielectrics with excellent energy storage properties are crucial for high‐power density electronic equipment in environments such as high temperatures and strong electric fields. They play a critical role in applications including hybrid electric vehicles, electromagnetic launch devices, and photovoltaic power generation. In this paper, the small molecule compound lithium acetate (LiAc), which is low cost and exhibits good thermal stability in high‐temperature environments, was selected and blended with a polyetherimide (PEI) polymer matrix at an ultra‐low loading (≤0.3 vol%). LiAc has a higher electron affinity compared to PEI, which will result in a large trap energy level (Φe). The injected and excited electrons are trapped by strong electrostatic attraction, which suppresses carrier transport, reduces conduction losses, and improves breakdown strength in high‐temperature environments. This composite dielectric exhibits better energy storage properties in high‐temperature environments. The energy density of the 0.2% by volume LiAc/PEI composite dielectric reaches 3.04 J cm−3 at 150°C, maintaining an energy storage efficiency of approximately 90%. The research presented in this paper offers a novel approach to achieving excellent energy storage properties in polymer‐based composite dielectrics operating in high‐temperature environments.

On the basis of the complex environment of port terminals, the corrosion resistance of coatings for accompanying metal facilities is a primary factor that needs to be considered. This study prepared polydopamine‐modified graphene oxide loaded with silicon dioxide (PGO@SiO2) functional filler, which was incorporated into polyester resin (PR) by extrusion mixing. The PGO@SiO2/PR composite coating was obtained by electrostatic spraying and high‐temperature curing. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, x‐ray diffraction, and other results confirmed the successful preparation of the PGO@SiO2 functional filler. In addition, contact angle, adhesion, and corrosion resistance tests were performed on the composite coating. Compared with pure PR coating, the surface hydrophobicity and adhesion of the composite coating were significantly improved compared with the pure PR coating. Furthermore, the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy of the carbon steel substrate composite coating confirmed that after immersion in salt solution, the low‐frequency impedance modulus of the composite coating could be maintained at 8.63 × 108 Ω·cm2, which was more than two orders of magnitude higher than that of the pure PR coating. Thus, PGO@SiO2 could significantly enhance the corrosion resistance of the PR coating and hinder the infiltration of corrosive media. It has broad prospects for engineering applications because of its excellent anticorrosive performance.

The research conducts a comparative analysis of epoxy/bi-directional (twill) carbon fiber three-phase shape memory hybrid composites modified with MWCNT and GnP, examining their mechanical, thermomechanical, and shape memory properties. Fabrication involves preparing nanoparticle-modified epoxy nanocomposites through ultrasonication followed by hand layup technique. The findings revealed that the modified composites achieved their optimal performance at a 0.6 wt% concentration of nanoparticle, with the tensile strength and modulus increasing by 33.59% and 23.47% for 0.6 wt% MWCNT composite and by 45.94% and 25.61% for 0.6 wt% GnP composite. GnP-modified composites outperformed MWCNT ones due to GnP's sheet structure aligning parallel to the load and larger surface area facilitating enhanced interaction with the matrix. Despite polymer modification, the shape recovery ratio values remained high, with 98.92% for unmodified composite, 97.72% for 0.6 wt% MWCNT composites, and 97.12% for 0.6 wt% GnP modified composites, all exceeding 90%, indicating no compromise in performance.

Membrane‐based CO2 separation is a promising technology compared to traditional processes, presenting advantages such as superior energy efficiency and reduced operational costs. This study investigates the enhancement of CO₂/N₂ separation performance by incorporating ionic liquid [hmim][Tf₂N] into polysulfone membranes. The membranes were produced with 5, 10, and 20 wt% IL, and their permeability was measured at 25°C under pressures of 1 and 4 bar. Stability tests were also conducted. At 1 bar, the membrane with 20 wt% IL exhibited the highest CO₂ permeability of 342.27 Barrer, while the membrane with 5 wt% IL demonstrated the best ideal selectivity for CO₂/N₂ of 27.87. At 4 bar, the membrane with 5 wt% IL showed the highest ideal selectivity for CO₂/N₂ of 40.81, with a CO₂ permeability of 144.26 Barrer. Leaching tests indicated potential integrity loss in ionic liquid composite polymer membranes at high pressures. Specifically, the CO₂ permeability of the PSF‐[hmim][Tf₂N] 5 wt% membrane increased continuously post‐testing due to IL leaching. However, the performance of the membranes remained stable at lower pressures (1 bar). These findings suggest that the produced membranes achieve higher permeability, CO₂/N₂ selectivity, and CO₂ diffusivity, making them suitable for post‐combustion gas separation applications.

Polyethersulfone (PES) membranes have a high tendency to scale due to their inherent hydrophobicity, which limits their application and increases water treatment costs. To regulate the size of the pores of PES and prevent clogging, different qualities of poly(ethylene glycol)38‐block‐poly(propylene glycol)8 (PEG‐PPG) were introduced and screened for the best ratios. Further introduced synthesized nitrogen‐doped titanium dioxide (N‐TiO2), anti‐fouling and photocatalytic PES ultrafiltration membranes (N‐TiO2@M) were prepared. N‐TiO2@M3 exhibited bovine serum albumin rejection rate of 93.8% and achieved a methylene blue photocatalytic efficiency of 95.3% after 120 min of operation. Furthermore, N‐TiO2@M4 showcased a water contact angle of 41.0°. Notably, the pure water flux of N‐TiO2@M4 surged by 499.3% compared to that of PES membrane. The fouling resistance ratio for membrane flux witnessed an increase from 70.0% to 82.7%, demonstrating the enhanced durability of N‐TiO2@M4. Moreover, the comprehensive analysis for N‐TiO2@M4 revealed a total contamination rate of 40.2%. The irreversible contamination rate of N‐TiO2@M4 after 1 h of ultraviolet light (UV) cleaning was 5.7%, and the irreversible contamination rate after 1 h of visible light irradiation was 6.7%. The method for mixing N‐TiO2 and PEG‐PPG is straightforward and convenient, offering potential for the development of N‐TiO2@M with resistance to pollution and degradation in visible/UV light.

N‐TiO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>@M3 exhibited bovine serum albumin rejection rate of 93.8% and achieved a methylene blue photocatalytic efficiency of 95.3% after 120 min of operation. Furthermore, N‐TiO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>@M4 showcased a water contact angle of 41.0°. Notably, the pure water flux of N‐TiO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>@M4 surged by 499.3% compared to that of PES membrane. The fouling resistance ratio for membrane flux witnessed an increase from 70.0% to 82.7%, demonstrating the enhanced durability of N‐TiO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>@M4. Moreover, the comprehensive analysis for N‐TiO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>@M4 revealed a total contamination rate of 40.2%. The irreversible contamination rate of N‐TiO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>@M4 after 1 h of ultraviolet light (UV) cleaning was 5.7%, and the irreversible contamination rate after 1 h of visible light irradiation was 6.7%. The method for mixing N‐TiO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> and PEG‐PPG is straightforward and convenient, offering potential for the development of N‐TiO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>@M with resistance to pollution and degradation in visible/UV light.","PeriodicalId":183,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Polymer Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142257132","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
Development of a cost‐effective and environmentally friendly method to treat dye wastewater is of utmost importance. In this experimental study, wastepaper was used as the raw material for the extraction of cellulose nanocrystals to fabricate a nanocomposite membrane with chitosan. During the extraction process, acid hydrolysis (Sulfuric acid) followed by bleaching (hydrogen peroxide) was adopted. To confirm the nano‐range, particle size analysis, and FESEM were performed, which confirmed the presence of particles in the nano‐range ranging from 313.8 to 122.1 nm and FESEM observed results showed transformation of fibrous to rod shaped nanocrystals after acid hydrolysis. After successful nanocomposite fabrication a porous sieved network of membrane was observed and after adsorption successful adhesion of dye molecules over the membrane matrix was also confirmed. FTIR data showed that during adsorption mechanism some of the prominent peaks gets disappeared suggest interaction of dye molecules onto the nanocomposite. The contact angle of 21.0° was observed for the ChNC3 nanocomposite showed super hydrophilic behavior. Tensile strength was also observed in terms of young's modulus, ultimate strength, and elongation at break. The elasticity and stiffness of a material are usually indicated by its young modulus. In AH CNCs and ChNC3, the young modulus was seen to be increasing from 195< 693, respectively. On the other hand, the ultimate strength indicates AH CNCs and ChNC3 and shows a downward trend of 1.56> 0.316, respectively. Furthermore, the potentiality of the nanocomposite membrane was analyzed for Congo red dye in synthetic wastewater prepared in the laboratory. During the batch study, various working parameters were taken such as initial dye solution (20–100 ppm), pH (1–7), contact time (10–60 min), and dosage (0.1–0.5 mg/L). To know about adsorption, Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm were analyzed it was observed that Freundlich isotherm show best fitted modeling with R2 = 0.99, and n = 1.6 showing favorability of the heterogeneous adsorption. To determine the interaction between the adsorbate and adsorbent, pseudo first order and pseudo second order kinetics models were analyzed, and it was observed that chemisorption interaction followed between the adsorbate and adsorbent. Thermodynamic parameters were analyzed, which confirmed the spontaneous and favorable adsorption mechanism. To avoid fouling problems and maintain cost effectiveness, the resulting, nanocomposite membrane was desorbed using an appropriate solvent. After 5 cycles, the desorption rate decreased from 54% to 38%. This developed nanocomposite membrane appears to be effective in effluent waste treatment because of its simple formulation approach.
