A novel method was developed for constructing cross-linked Silsesquioxane, utilizing Q-type H-POSS as a precursor. The Piers-Rubinsztajn (P-R) like reaction of Q-type H-POSS was catalyzed by B(C6F5)3, resulting in the production of a prepolymer containing partial Si-H. Upon heating at high temperature in air, the prepolymer transformed into an insoluble and infusible cross-linked polymer, named Cured poly(H-POSS). This polymer exhibited high thermostability, with a 5% weight loss temperature (T5d) of 709 °C and a residue of 92% at 800 °C. Additionally, Cured poly(H-POSS) exhibited high transparency, with a transmittance of 90% in the 400-800 nm wavelength range, and favorable dielectric properties, with a dielectric constant (Dk) of 2.88 at 14 GHz.

Polyamide 4 (PA4) is a lactam-based aliphatic synthetic polymer with promising properties and admirable biodegradability. In this study, oriented PA4 fibers were fabricated by dry spinning followed by thermal drawing. Elastic modulus (El) of the crystalline regions (crystal modulus) of PA4 fibers in the direction parallel to the chain axis was evaluated from the X-ray diffraction peak shift owing to the tensile stress. The apparent El value of PA4 is 67 GPa for meridional 004 reflection and 119 GPa for 0010 reflection, respectively. The reason for the different El is that the decrease of crystallite size of PA4 by the applied stress brought extra shifts of 004 reflection peak to lower angle based on the Laue factor. In contrast, 0010 reflection peak received less effects from this effect, and the El value of 119 GPa obtained from 0010 reflection was considered to be a reliable value. The observed El value of PA4 is much lower than the calculated values assuming fully extended planar zigzag skeleton for PA4. Thus the low El value is attributed to the highly contraction (−1.9 %) from the fully extended conformation as observed for another polyamides.
聚酰胺 4(PA4)是一种内酰胺基脂肪族合成聚合物,具有良好的性能和可生物降解性。本研究采用干法纺丝和热拉伸工艺制作了取向聚酰胺 4 纤维。根据拉伸应力导致的 X 射线衍射峰值移动,评估了 PA4 纤维结晶区在平行于链轴方向上的弹性模量(El)。在经向 004 反射和 0010 反射中,PA4 的表观 El 值分别为 67 GPa 和 119 GPa。造成 El 值不同的原因是,根据 Laue 因子,外加应力使 PA4 的晶粒尺寸减小,导致 004 反射峰向低角度移动。相比之下,0010 反射峰受到的影响较小,因此从 0010 反射峰得到的 119 GPa El 值被认为是一个可靠的值。观察到的 PA4 El 值远远低于假设 PA4 骨架为完全扩展的平面人字形的计算值。因此,较低的 El 值是由于在其他聚酰胺中观察到的完全伸展构象的高度收缩(-1.9%)造成的。

The preparation of the polyimine (PI) networks from renewable feedstocks has attracted increasing attention due to the degradability and self-healing capabilities of PI networks, which contribute to sustainable development. However, most of bio-based PI networks possess poor environmental stability and mechanical strength. Herein, natural peach gum w·as employed to construct water-resistant bio-based PI networks with high performances, by the curing reaction of Schiff base between 4-aminobenzoic acid grafted peach gum polysaccharide and vanillin-derived difunctionalized aldehyde. The resultant polyimine networks (PGBV) exhibit high tensile strength and high Young's modulus, due to their unique network structures. Moreover, PGBV-100 demonstrates excellent hydrophobicity, welding, self-healing and reprocessing abilities. Furthermore, PGBV-100 can completely degrade in an aqueous solution of HCl (0.1 M), enabling closed-loop recycling. In this work, a research strategy for constructing bio-based PI networks with high performances is presented and the resultant PGBV networks show promising potential application as materials for transportation and building materials.

High-flux and selective membranes are key components to improving the energy efficiency of nanofiltration processes for water purification. Herein, we report high-flux polyamide thin-film composite (TFC) membranes consisting of Tröger's base for nanofiltration. Tröger's base diamine (TBD) was synthesized as an aqueous phase monomer for interfacial polymerization. Detailed characterization of TBD-based polyamides was performed using thermal, spectroscopic, and microscopic analyses. Notably, the V-shaped and rigid Tröger's base motif rendered TBD-based polyamide (named TBD-TMC) features with enhanced microporosity as well as an enlarged pore size compared to conventional polyamide chemistry (i.e., MPD-TMC). As a result, the TBD-TMC membrane exhibited a 570 % improvement in water permeance compared to MPD-TMC membranes while exhibiting moderate salt rejection up to 91 %, outperforming most reported nanofiltration membranes. Also, the TBD-TMC membrane exhibited high monovalent/divalent ion selectivity (∼7.0 for NaCl/Na2SO4 separation), which may have resulted from the combined effects of size exclusion and charge repulsion. This work highlights the potential of Tröger's base motif as a new diamine monomer for interfacially polymerized membranes to tune their microporous structures.

Corrosion causes serious steel deterioration with consequent negative impacts on the environment and economy. Organic coatings are widely exploited to provide corrosion protection on low-carbon steel. However, the raw materials and preparation methods for common anticorrosive coatings are not sustainable. In this framework, the efficient microwave-assisted methacrylation of a natural polyphenolic compound, tannic acid (TA), provided a UV-curable monomer with a high degree of substitution. The produced methacrylated tannic acid (MTA) was characterized by means of 31P NMR and FTIR spectroscopies. The UV-curing of MTA by radical photopolymerization was deeply investigated via the real-time FTIR, photo-DSC, and photo-rheological analyses, confirming the high photo-reactivity of MTA with a conversion of 80 % and a gel point at 2.5 s. The UV-cured MTA showed good thermal stability and a glass transition temperature (Tg) of 133 °C. Furthermore, UV-cured MTA coating exhibited high hardness and hydrophobicity. The zeta potential measurement indicated a negatively charged surface with an isoelectric point (IEP) at pH 2.7. Finally, the good corrosion protection performance of UV-cured MTA coating on plasma pre-treated steel surface was assessed through electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.

This study explores the realization of the shape memory effect (SME) in composite materials composed of polylactide (PLA) filled with diopside particles exhibiting varied supramolecular structures, such as spherulites and amorphous lamellar structures. We investigated the influence of diopside filler on the thermomechanical properties and shape recovery behavior of PLA-based composites. Different supramolecular structures of PLA were achieved through controlled crystallization processes. Comprehensive characterization techniques, including differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), were employed to elucidate the structure-property relationships. The results indicate that the diopside enhances the SME of PLA composites, with the degree of improvement being dependent on the specific supramolecular structure of the polymer matrix. Our findings provide insights into the design of advanced SMPs with tailored properties for potential applications in medicine.

Zinc indium sulfide has been used as a heterogeneous recyclable photocatalyst in visible light-induced atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). The photocatalyst was found to catalyze ATRP via an oxidative quenching mechanism without any additives. Polymers in high conversion and good control can be obtained. The kinetic study, light on/off experiment and the block copolymer synthesis showed the “living”/controlled nature of the polymerization. The photocatalyst can be reused for five times without obvious loss of control in the polymerization. Metal residue was not detected in the resulting polymers. This strategy provides a noval way for well-controlled polymer synthesis using recyclable visible light photocatalysis.

With the aim of both reducing pollution and improving the utilization of coal by–products, a fly ash desilication solution is proposed as the silicon source for the preparation of the mesoporous molecular sieve MCM-48. A series of a highly effective and raspberry-shaped adsorbents for treating wastewater contaminated with heavy metal ions are obtained by modifying the MCM-48 with polyaniline (PANI) through a hydrothermal synthetic strategy. The results of experimental studies show that MCM-48/1PANI has removal efficiencies for Cd2+, Co2+, and Cu2+ of 97.67 %, 94.35 % and 87.26 %, respectively, which are significantly better than those of raw MCM-48. The adsorption behavior fits well with the proposed second-order kinetic equation and the Langmuir isothermal adsorption model. It is shown that the adsorbent shares electrons or electron transfer with the metal ions and forms a homogeneous monolayer adsorption on the adsorbent surface. In an experiment on adsorption of ions coexisting in solution, the selectivity of adsorption is found to be Cd2+ > Co2+ > Cu2+, with the differences being ascribed to the different hydration radii of metal ions. A test of cyclic regeneration performance shows that the MCM-48/1PANI adsorbent exhibits excellent stability after five cycles. Thus, this work provides not only a way for preparing MCM-48/PANI from fly ash, but also an efficient method for removal of heavy metal ions from wastewater.

Thus, this work provides not only a way for preparing MCM-48/PANI from fly ash, but also an efficient method for removal of heavy metal ions from wastewater.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":405,"journal":{"name":"Polymer","volume":"315 ","pages":"Article 127833"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2024-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142601635","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Polymer dielectric capacitors have high power density and are an integral component of electronic and power device. Currently, the limited energy density restricts their further application. In this research, a novel method was designed to optimize performance of PMMA/PVDF composite via an alternating stacked multi-layer structure. And, the five-alternating-layer of PVDF-PMMA-PVDF-PMMA-PVDF (F-A-F-A-F) composite has excellent dielectric properties, for instance, a better dielectric constant (4.52@1 kHz) and a low dielectric loss (0.034@1 kHz). The discharge energy density (Ue) of it is significantly larger than that of PMMA and PVDF. Particularly, the Ue of F-A-F-A-F composite is increased by 83.0 % (from 4.71 J/cm3 to 8.62 J/cm3) with charging-discharging efficiency of 60 % at 80 °C. Moreover, the F-A-F-A-F composite achieves an excellent stability after 40,000 cycles. This composite has a wide range of potential applications in the field of traditional dielectric capacitor due to its good energy storage performance and cycle stability.
