The presence of salt ions significantly enhances the stability of polymer/surfactant composite foam systems, offering great potential for optimizing CO2 foam flooding performance in high-salinity reservoirs. However, the molecular-level mechanism underlying this “salt ion-induced enhancement” effect remains unclear. This study systematically investigates the evolution of foam performance and the synergistic salt-tolerance mechanism of a polymer/surfactant system across a wide salinity range (0∼20×104 mg/L) through interface/bulk characterization combined with molecular dynamics simulations. Research demonstrates that salt ions weaken polymer/surfactant-H2O interactions through competitive hydration, while simultaneously promoting hydrogen bonds between the polymer/surfactant interface to form a highly elastic interfacial film. Additionally, the “salt thickening” effect of the foam base-fluid drives to form a supramolecular network, which is a key mechanism behind the enhanced viscoelasticity. Compared to a salt-free system, high salinity (20×104 mg/L) delays foam drainage (the drainage activation energy increases to 51.46 kJ/mol) and suppresses coarsening (Ostwald ripening rate decreases by 57.4%), thereby enhancing the foam comprehensive index by 1.78 times. This study elucidates the key pathways for salt ion-induced synergistic salt-tolerance in polymer/surfactant composite systems, providing theoretical support for constructing green, efficient CO2 foam systems adapted to high-salinity environments.

In this study, an integrated experimental–analytical framework was employed to investigate the effects of geometric imperfections on the static and fatigue behaviour of 3D-printed polylactic acid (PLA) specimens. The specimens were fabricated using Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) with YZ orientation and a concentric infill pattern. Experimental results showed that a central hole with a stress concentration factor of 1.95 resulted in approximately 17% shorter fatigue life compared to edge-notched specimens. Notches and holes with a 2 mm radius yielded fatigue notch factors of 1.12 and 1.15, respectively, emphasizing the dominant influence of process-induced internal defects on fatigue damage evolution. To determine the notch geometry that can override the effect of internal defects on fatigue behaviour, the Theory of Critical Distance (TCD) coupled with numerical models was used to estimate the fatigue notch factor. In the numerical simulations, the internal porosity of the 3D-printed samples was taken into account to capture the interaction between notches and inherent defects. The analysis identified a notch aspect ratio of 0.25 as critical, exhibiting the highest fatigue notch factor of 1.59. Then, crack growth behaviour was monitored using Digital Image Correlation (DIC) and analyzed through the Paris law to determine material constants. Fatigue life was subsequently estimated using a defect-based approach for 3D-printed PLA, explicitly accounting for process-induced internal defects.

Developing high-performance bio-based poly(lactic acid)-polyurethane (PLA-PU) elastomers is important for achieving carbon neutrality and a sustainable future. Conventional PLA-PU systems suffer from mechanical and functional limitations. Herein, we develop lignin-modified PLA-PU thermoplastic elastomer (LPT) films through a facile solution polymerization strategy in which the covalence of lignin in the PLA-PU networks simultaneously enhanced mechanical performance and provided multifunction. The mechanical toughness of the optimized LPT films reached 349.09 MJ/m3 with a tensile strength of 41.12 MPa and an elongation break of 1649.51%. Besides, the presence of chromophores and aromatic structures in the lignin endows the modified films with intrinsic brown color and remarkable UV resistance performance. The absorptions of UVB/UVC and UVA are higher than 99.51% and 88.14%, respectively. Notably, the LPT films maintain 71.57% tensile strength and 78.05% elongation after three recycling cycles via dissolution in DMF, while achieving complete degradation under mild alkaline conditions, demonstrating their sustainable feature. This work establishes a new pathway for developing sustainable alternatives to petroleum-based elastomers with combined mechanical robustness and multifunctions.

The constraints faced by adsorbents in adsorbing dye wastewater include limited adsorption capacity, difficulties in regeneration with high costs, and the competition for adsorption as well as restrictions on conditions such as pH and temperature, all of which limit their wide application. Here we develop a novel adsorbent AC/Fe3O4@PDA with high adsorption capacity, rapid adsorption rate as well as magnetic property for efficiently adsorption organic methylene blue (MB). The surface morphology, crystal structure, chemical structure, elementals compositions, pore structure, magnetic property and wettability were all well characterized. It is proposed that an innovative superhydrophilic nanocomposite adsorbent based on highly magnetic and chemically stable biomass nanoparticles are covered by an adsorptive surface layer of PDA. Batch tests were performed to evaluate the influence of temperature, initial pH values, initial MB concentration and time on the performance of the target nanomaterial. The existence of open mesopores and macropores, three-dimensional cavity architecture, super-hydrophilic wettability and abundant amino/hydroxyl functional groups were all beneficial for well contact and chemical firmly bond with water-soluble toxic MB dye. After functionalized by mussel-inspired PDA modification, AC/Fe3O4@PDA, the active adsorbent could be easily removed from wastewater surface by a magnet. After adsorption, the three-dimensional pores of the carbon skeleton were well maintained. Super-hydrophilic and surface-adhering PDA coating make MB more tightly contact with AC/Fe3O4@PDA composite at aqueous media. More importantly, this strategy could be easily extended for fabrication of many other highly efficient magnetic adsorbents to solve the removing problem for the environmental applications of mussel inspired chemistry.

Conventional uniaxial hot stretching of polylactic acid (PLA) films usually leads to the loss of transverse direction (TD) strength, due to the orientation of molecular chains along the machine direction (MD). To address this issue, this study proposed a novel and industrially feasible strategy, i.e., combining melt casting and uniaxial hot stretching, and utilizing the critical role of the rigid amorphous fraction (RAF) in governing the crystal evolution and macroscopic properties during hot stretching, to produce high-performance PLA films without sacrificing the TD strength. Compared with hot-pressed precursors, the melt casting precursors possessed higher RAF, which could promote strain-induced crystallization more quickly, forming a dense PLA crystal network at low stretching ratios (SR ≤ 3). This physical cross-linked network effectively restricted the movement of amorphous chains, particularly along TD, and induced higher stress during the strain hardening stage, thereby facilitating the formation of highly oriented crystals and smaller-sized nanocrystals (denser crystal network structure). Consequently, even at SR of 5, the TD strength of PLA films remained undiminished (55.9 MPa), and the tensile and tear strength in MD reached 144 MPa, 225.6N/mm, respectively. More importantly, these films exhibited excellent puncture strength (275 N/mm), high transparency (90% at 600 nm), heat resistance (1980 MPa at 80 °C), and superior oxygen barrier properties (1.9×10-15cm3·cm/(cm2·s·Pa)). This work would provide a theoretical and practical pathway for advanced PLA film production.

The internal structure of tetra-arm poly(ethylene glycol) networks crosslinked via coordination bonds was investigated to understand the structural aspects of these networks, which are connected by finite polymer units. In tetra-arm poly(ethylene glycol) modified with catechol moieties (4-PCA), the networks were preserved by coordination bonds of catechol-Fe(III) ions using optimal quantitative ratios (RCA/Fe) that form bis and tris-complexes depending on pH values. The network is established with finite units associated with changes in geometrical connections. This research focuses on the structural aspects composed of controllable coordination bonding units. The samples were investigated using small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and neutron scattering (SANS) measurements. The apparent correlation lengths of the gels were discussed as the presence of nano-defects. The contrast variation SNAS results support the presence of nano-defects, Rg ∼ 3 nm. The defects are incorporated by partial irregularity of missing linkages and subsequent distortion of the topology. The rapid and sensitive controls using metal-mediated coordination bond may generate defects in the polymer network. It suggests that diverse strategies for metal-mediated hydrogels can be found by monitoring their nanostructures.
