We report a novel multicomponent initiators-based copolymerization strategy for synthesizing of acrylamide (AM) and 2-acrylamide-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid (AMPS) copolymers, denoted by P(AM-co-AMPS), with an ultra-high content of AMPS (≥50 mol%) and an ultra-high molecular weight (>107 g/mol), while achieving a high conversion rate of monomer (∼100.0 %). The multicomponent initiators contain a redox couple, an azo compound, and a catalyst. Our investigation into the mechanism suggested that the synergistic effect in different rate constant for initiator decomposition between redox and azo initiators was responsible for actualizing ultra-high molecular weight copolymers with high conversion rates of monomer. Moreover, copolymers with 75 mol% and 100 mol% of AMPS were synthesized to verify the advantage of the multicomponent initiators-based strategy, both of which exhibited ultra-high molecular weights and ultra-high monomer conversion rates. This study fills a long-standing gap in research on the polyacrylamide family by providing highly functionalized P(AM-co-AMPS) with an ultra-high molecular weight. Moreover, it reveals how multicomponent initiators reconcile the contradiction between the ultra-high molecular weight and the high conversion rate in copolymerization.

In this paper, a novel polyacrylonitrile (PAN)/collagen (CO)/tannic acid (TA) composite nanofiber membrane for the adsorption of Cu(II) in water was prepared. The nanofibrous membranes were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric (TG), and water contact angle (WCA) techniques, and their adsorption performance on Cu(II) in water was tested. The results showed that incorporating CO improved the hydrophilic performance of the membranes, and the contact angle of PAN/CO decreased from 60.57° to 39.16° with the increase of CO content, which exhibited good hydrophilicity. Moreover, CO effectively crosslinked TA, so that TA was well fixed on the surface of the fiber membrane, and the resulting PAN/CO/TA composite nanofiber membrane had good fiber morphology, uniform fiber diameter distribution, with an average diameter of 292.22 nm, and good adsorption performance for Cu(II), up to 133.26 mg/g. The adsorption kinetics fitting showed that the adsorption mechanism was mainly electrostatic adsorption and chelation of Cu(II) by phenoxy anion. PAN/CO/TA and PAN/CO/TA/Cu nanofiber membranes showed bacteriostatic effects on E. coli and S. aureus, with PAN/CO/TA/Cu nanofiber membranes being particularly effective, with the average inhibition bands for E. coli and S. aureus being 7.50 mm and 10.05 mm, respectively. The distribution of the electric field during the spinning process was also simulated by finite element analysis in this study. Since TA is a natural polymer of plant origin and CO is of animal origin, it provides an environmentally friendly and cost-effective method to remove Cu(II) from water.
本文制备了一种新型聚丙烯腈(PAN)/胶原蛋白(CO)/单宁酸(TA)复合纳米纤维膜,用于吸附水中的铜(II)。通过傅立叶变换红外(FTIR)、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、热重(TG)和水接触角(WCA)技术对纳米纤维膜进行了表征,并测试了它们对水中 Cu(II)的吸附性能。结果表明,CO 的加入提高了膜的亲水性能,随着 CO 含量的增加,PAN/CO 的接触角从 60.57°降至 39.16°,表现出良好的亲水性。此外,CO 能有效交联 TA,使 TA 很好地固定在纤维膜表面,得到的 PAN/CO/TA 复合纳米纤维膜具有良好的纤维形貌,纤维直径分布均匀,平均直径为 292.22 nm,对 Cu(II) 的吸附性能良好,最高可达 133.26 mg/g。吸附动力学拟合结果表明,吸附机理主要是静电吸附和苯氧基阴离子对 Cu(II)的螯合作用。PAN/CO/TA 和 PAN/CO/TA/Cu 纳米纤维膜对大肠杆菌和金黄色葡萄球菌有抑菌作用,其中 PAN/CO/TA/Cu 纳米纤维膜的抑菌效果尤为显著,对大肠杆菌和金黄色葡萄球菌的平均抑菌带分别为 7.50 mm 和 10.05 mm。本研究还通过有限元分析模拟了纺丝过程中的电场分布。由于 TA 是源于植物的天然聚合物,而 CO 是源于动物的天然聚合物,因此它为去除水中的 Cu(II)提供了一种环境友好且经济有效的方法。

Membrane separation technology is a promising choice for treating oily water from industrial and domestic sewage. The elaborate design of pore structure can realize a good trade-off between separation flux and efficiency, thus taking the full advantages of membrane separation. Herein, polychlorotrifluoroethylene (PCTFE) microporous membrane with tunable pore structure was fabricated via a sacrificial template method. Fluoroelastomer (FR), serving as sacrificial template, was incorporated into PCTFE via a solvent-assisted method, forming PCTFE/FR blending films. After removing FR via solvent-dissolving, porous PCTFE membrane was obtained. More important, the gradual increment of FR loading made the morphology of PCTFE/FR blending films realize the transformation from “sea-island” to bicontinuous structure, thus endowing the membranes with tunable pore structure, surface wettability, as well as mechanical properties. Among the candidates, 50FR membranes possessed good flexibility, twist-resistance, as well as excellent creep-resistance and can efficiently separate oil from various water/oil mixtures. The oil (dichloromethane) permeability, separation efficiency, and filtrated oil purity were high up ∼10000 L/(m2⋅h), ∼99 %, and ∼99.92 wt%, respectively. Additionally, although undergoing 25 separation cycles or being immersed into various highly-corrosive liquid (including 1 M HCl, 1 M NaOH, DMF, ethanediamine, and concentrated HNO3) for 7 days, the properties of the membrane changed little. These features suggested a great potential for preparing PCTFE membranes used for oil/water separation in various harsh environment.

The synthesis of two conjugated polymers (P1 and P2) for supercapacitor application was reported. The materials were prepared using a condensation reaction between tetraphenylethene (TPE) with di-(TPE-2CHO) or tetra-carboxaldehyde (TPE-4CHO) derivatives and 1,5-diaminonaphthalene (1,5-DAN). The polymers were characterized using Fourier transforms infrared (FT-IR), solid-state 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (13C NMR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). P1 and P2 polymers displayed a spherical shape, with particle sizes of 6.8 ± 1 μm and 0.97 ± 0.1 μm, respectively. In addition, P1 and P2 exhibited wide light absorption (200–466 nm), accompanied by a relatively low bandgap of 2.3 eV and 2.4 eV for P1 and P2 respectively. Electrochemical investigations of P1 and P2 revealed redox behavior observed in the cyclic voltammetry (CV) curves suggesting a faradaic charge storage mechanism. At a scan rate of 1 mV/s, P1 and P2 demonstrated specific capacitances of 274.8 F/g and 207.9 F/g, respectively. The electrochemical performance of both polymers was further analyzed using galvanostatic charge-discharge (GCD), linear sweep voltammetry (LSV), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) using Nyquist plots. The observed decrease in charge transfer resistance for P1 and P2 can be ascribed to the conjugation within their chemical structures. The polymer can be recycled for 5000 cycles with <10 % loss of the polymer's efficiency.

Two poly(L-lactide)s (PLAs) with a degree of polymerization (DP) of 20 or 100 were prepared by trifluoroethanol-initiated ring-opening polymerization (ROP) catalyzed by tin(II) 2-ethyl hexanoate (SnOct2). These PLAs were annealed at 140 °C or at 160 °C in the presence of SnOct2, and the changes in topology and molecular weight distribution (MWD) were monitored by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI TOF) mass spectrometry and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). For the PLA with a DP 20, the main reaction was polycondensation combined with higher dispersities. In the case of the DP 100, PLA polycondensation was combined with disproportionation and the formation of a new MWD maximum around m/z 3500. In addition, extensive cyclization occurred, and the resulting cyclic PLAs crystallized separately from the linear chains in the form of extended ring crystals. These results also suggest that both extended chain and extended ring crystals posses the same crystal thickness as a result of thermodynamically controlled transesterification in the solid state.

The ability of an active protective organic coating to restore its protection functionality in the event of a coating defect is crucial for ensuring durable performance under harsh corrosive conditions. In the present work, a novel thermogenesis effect polyurethane complex microsphere with a particle size of approximately 430 nm was developed using CNCs and LNPs as Pickering emulsifiers. The obtained microspheres (4 wt%) were incorporated into epoxy-amine networks, resulting in improved toughness and bending strength. Additionally, tensile measurement results demonstrated that the composite resin exhibited a self-healing efficiency of 81.25 % at room temperature within 30 min. Meanwhile, for the NIR-triggered self-healing process, the damaged samples could be locally repaired quickly. Experiments also showed that the microspheres exhibited excellent anti-ultraviolet aging performance and satisfying storage stability for more than 20 days at room temperature. Importantly, the as-prepared epoxy complex resin served as an in-situ self-healing metal coating, confirming its long-lasting corrosion resistance. This work provides an efficient strategy for high-performance self-healing materials, particularly epoxy anti-corrosion coatings.

P(VDF-TrFE) copolymers are materials with high relevance in printed organic electronics. These copolymers easily crystallize into the ferroelectric phase without resorting to post-deposition treatments (thermal annealing, poling, or mechanical stretching). The detection of a morphotropic phase boundary further increased the interest in this copolymer system by demonstrating relaxor behavior for higher TrFE content. This prompted an in-depth analysis of the P(VDF-TrFE) chiral chain structure responsible for the relaxor properties. Nevertheless, the efficient application of these materials also depends heavily on the quality and morphology of the crystalline domains. In this work, we combine SAXS and AFM imaging to analyze the structure of the crystalline domains as a function of the TrFE content. The detection of different structural distributions revealed the presence of hierarchical arrangements within the crystalline domains. Furthermore, these hierarchical arrangements were observed to change with the TrFE monomer content, presenting distinct morphologies for low and high TrFE contents, in line with previous works on the morphotropic phase boundary in these systems.

Furthermore, these hierarchical arrangements were observed to change with the TrFE monomer content, presenting distinct morphologies for low and high TrFE contents, in line with previous works on the morphotropic phase boundary in these systems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":405,"journal":{"name":"Polymer","volume":"315 ","pages":"Article 127818"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2024-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142597567","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}

Reactive dyeing is the primary method for coloring cellulose fibers due to its vibrant colors, various hues, excellent colorfastness, and cost-effectiveness. However, this process consumes a large amount of water and chemicals, leading to significant environmental concerns due to the wastewater. Non-aqueous media/less water dyeing has emerged as a cleaner alternative, showing promising results in dyeing cotton fibers with reactive dyes. Nevertheless, the rapid adsorption rate of dyes can impact the evenness of dyeing. This study explores the use of anionic polyacrylamide (APAM) in the modification bath to reduce dye adsorption rate and enhance dye desorption during cellulose fibers dyeing. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and field-emission scanning electron microscope (FSEM) analysis revealed effective interaction between APAM and cellulose fibers. Thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and breaking strength tests indicated minimal impact on the thermal stability and physical properties of cellulose fibers with APAM modification. Zeta potential testing demonstrated that APAM modification reduced the surface potential of cellulose fibers and increased their negative charge. The adsorption rate of reactive dye decreased with APAM modification, while dye fixation, washing, and rubbing fastness remained largely unaffected. Adsorption isotherm results supported the weakening of the affinity between dyes and fibers after APAM treatment. Furthermore, the electrostatic potentials of fibers decreased after APAM modification. Compared to salt-free dyeing in non-aqueous media dyeing systems, anionic polymer modification not only improves the level dyeing performance of cotton fiber and reduces 0.9 % in dyeing costs, but also increases production efficiency.

The polymer/hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) thermal conductive composite an excellent candidate for thermal management materials due to its insulation properties. However, it is a challenge to achieve efficient large-scale exfoliation of h-BN through melt blending to balance thermal conductivity and mechanical properties. In this work, an innovative melt mixing strategy using the co-rotating non-twin screw extruder (NTSE) was developed to prepare the high-density polyethylene (HDPE)/h-BN composites with excellent overall performance. The results were well compared with those of conventional twin screw extruder (TSE). The NTSE triggers chaotic mixing and provides a strong elongation flow field capable of h-BN efficiently exfoliating into a few layers, while simultaneously ensuring uniform dispersion and distribution within HDPE. The in-plane thermal conductivity and elongation at break of the NTSE composite with 10 wt% h-BN addition were 7.63 W∙m−1 K−1 and 653.1 %, which were 74.7 % and 70.3 % higher than those prepared by TSE, while the enhancement rates rose to 174.6 % and 74.4 % when 30 wt% h-BN was added, respectively. The in-plane thermal conductivity enhancement ratio of NTSE was more than 3000 % when the h-BN content was higher than 10 wt%. Besides, the thermal stability, crystallinity, and thermal diffusion of the NTSE composites were also enhanced to different degrees. This strategy is efficient to coordinating the conflicting between the comprehensive performance and large-scale preparation of thermally conductive polymer composites.
