Silicone foam, as a damping material, is widely used between metal components in integrative device systems. After long-term service, silicone foam tends to adhere to metal substrates, thus leading to the disassembly difficulty and compromising the system reliability. Owing to the interfacial complexity when the silicone foam and the metal component stick to each other, the underlying adhesion mechanisms still remain unclear. This study aims to elucidate the adhesion mechanism between the silicone foam and the metal substrate using a stainless steel/silicone foam/stainless steel sandwiched structure through accelerated aging and under compressive stress. Multiscale techniques from morphology, spectroscopy and depth profile were applied to study the joint interfacial structures and elucidate the adhesion mechanism between the silicone foam and stainless steel. It was demonstrated that the silicone foam-stainless steel adhesion behavior arose from the synergistic effects of thermo-oxidative aging and compressive stress, which had induced physical and chemical changes of the silicone foam at the interface. Specifically, the interfacial interactions were comprised of covalent bonding (Si−O−Metal), micro-mechanical interlocking, hydrogen bonding, and van der Waals force. Such findings shall provide new insights into the adhesion mechanisms of polymer-metal interfaces and offer practical guidance for the design and reliability assessment of damping materials in engineering applications.
有机硅泡沫作为一种阻尼材料,在集成器件系统中广泛应用于金属部件之间。长期使用后,硅酮泡沫易于粘附在金属基板上,从而导致拆卸困难,影响系统的可靠性。由于有机硅泡沫材料与金属材料相互粘附时界面的复杂性,其粘附机理尚不清楚。本研究采用不锈钢/泡沫硅酮/不锈钢夹层结构,通过加速时效和压应力作用,研究泡沫硅酮与金属基体的粘附机理。采用形貌、光谱和深度剖面等多尺度技术研究了有机硅泡沫与不锈钢的结合界面结构,阐明了有机硅泡沫与不锈钢的粘附机理。结果表明,热氧化老化和压应力的共同作用导致泡沫硅树脂与不锈钢的黏附行为发生了物理和化学变化。具体来说,界面相互作用由共价键(Si−O−Metal)、微机械联锁、氢键和范德华力组成。这些发现将为聚合物-金属界面的粘附机制提供新的见解,并为工程应用中阻尼材料的设计和可靠性评估提供实用指导。

Traditional mulberry leaf silkworm rearing is influenced by various factors, which limit the development of the sericulture industry. To overcome this problem, factory-based all-age artificial diet silkworm rearing has emerged as a viable alternative. As this is a new technology, studies on the aging properties of fabrics produced by this method are limited. In this work, degummed silk fabrics obtained from factory-based all-age artificial diet-rearing silkworms (referred to as artificial diet-reared fabrics) were compared with degummed silk fabrics obtained from traditional mulberry leaf-reared silkworms (referred to as mulberry leaf-reared fabrics). Both categories of fabrics underwent separate treatments of outdoor exposure, ultraviolet irradiation, and thermal aging. The findings showed that, in terms of surface morphology, no marked distinction was observed between the artificial diet-reared and mulberry leaf-reared fabrics either before or after aging. However, the aged artificial diet-reared fabrics exhibited a more pronounced color change, characterized by stronger yellowing compared with the aged mulberry leaf-reared fabrics. Furthermore, the β-sheet structural content and crystallinity were consistently lower in the artificial diet-reared fabrics than in the mulberry leaf-reared fabrics under comparable conditions, both prior to and following the aging treatments. Owing to the influence of the β-sheet structure content and crystallinity, the bursting strength and thermal stability of the artificial diet-reared fabrics were also lower than those of the corresponding mulberry leaf-reared fabrics. Although differences in these properties were observed between the two types of fabrics, the differences were relatively limited. With continued advances in factory-based all-age artificial diet rearing, silk fabrics produced from artificial diet-reared silkworms show the potential to gradually replace traditional mulberry leaf-reared silk fabrics.
传统桑蚕饲养受多种因素的影响,制约了桑蚕产业的发展。为了克服这一问题,以工厂为基础的全年龄人工饲料养蚕已经成为一种可行的选择。由于这是一项新技术,因此对该方法生产的织物的老化性能研究有限。本研究以工厂化全年龄人工饲养蚕(简称人工饲养蚕)的脱胶蚕丝织物与传统桑叶养蚕(简称桑叶养蚕)的脱胶蚕丝织物进行比较。这两类织物分别进行了室外暴露、紫外线照射和热老化处理。结果表明,在老化前和老化后,人工饲料饲养和桑叶饲养的织物在表面形态上没有明显区别。与桑叶老化织物相比,人工饲料老化织物的颜色变化更明显,黄变更强。此外,在老化处理前后,人工饲料饲养的织物的β-片结构含量和结晶度始终低于桑叶饲养的织物。由于β-片结构含量和结晶度的影响,人造日粮织物的破裂强度和热稳定性也低于相应的桑叶织物。虽然观察到两种织物在这些性能上的差异,但差异相对有限。随着工厂化全年龄人工饲料饲养技术的不断进步,人工饲料养蚕生产的蚕丝织物显示出逐渐取代传统桑叶养蚕丝织物的潜力。

Polyimide (PI) films are widely employed as high-temperature insulation in aerospace and electrical systems, where long-term reliability strongly depends on their thermo-oxidative stability. To evaluate their aging behavior, PMDA-ODA PI films were thermally aged in air at 280°C up to 60 days. Materials were tested by nondestructive techniques: Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FE-SEM), Fourier Transform Infra‐Red (FTIR) (using both ATR and transmission modes), dielectric spectroscopy, DC conductivity and thermally stimulated depolarization current (TSDC) measurements. The results reveal that the material remains stable during the first 10 days with limited oxidation. From 10 to 40 days, FTIR shows that oxidation gradually extends from the surface into the bulk, increasing the amount of carbonyl dipoles. This leads to stronger dipolar polarization, while microstructural rearrangements caused by chain scission enhance interfacial polarization and conductivity. In the later stage, both interfacial polarization and conductivity reach a stable plateau. DC conductivity and TSDC measurements jointly revealed a two-stage trap evolution: a pronounced reduction of activation energy and trap depth up to 30 days, followed by a slower stabilization phase. These findings deepen the understanding of polyimide aging and support the development of more reliable high-temperature insulation.
聚酰亚胺(PI)薄膜广泛用于航空航天和电气系统的高温绝缘,其长期可靠性很大程度上取决于其热氧化稳定性。为了评估其老化行为,PMDA-ODA PI薄膜在280°C的空气中热老化60天。材料通过非破坏性技术进行测试:场发射扫描电子显微镜(FE-SEM),傅里叶变换红外(FTIR)(使用ATR和透射模式),介电光谱,直流电导率和热激退极化电流(TSDC)测量。结果表明,材料在前10天内保持稳定,氧化程度有限。从10天到40天,FTIR显示氧化逐渐从表面延伸到主体,增加了羰基偶极子的数量。这导致了更强的偶极极化,而链断裂引起的微观结构重排增强了界面极化和电导率。在后期,界面极化和电导率都达到稳定的平台。直流电导率和TSDC测量共同揭示了两个阶段的圈闭演化:活化能和圈闭深度显著降低,持续时间长达30天,随后是一个较慢的稳定阶段。这些发现加深了对聚酰亚胺老化的理解,并为开发更可靠的高温绝缘材料提供了支持。

A transparent, room-temperature self-healing, and flame-retardant peach gum-based vitrimer enabled by boronic ester bonds for sustainable materials 一种透明的、室温自愈的、阻燃的桃胶基玻璃体,由硼酯键支持,用于可持续材料

Recyclable bio-based vitrimers present a promising pathway to mitigate environmental pollution and diminish reliance on petroleum resources. However, integrating multiple functionalities, including flame retardancy, room-temperature self-healing, antibacterial activity, antioxidant performance, and closed-loop recyclability, into a single vitrimer system via a straightforward method remains a considerable challenge. Herein, we address this challenge by developing multifunctional bio-based vitrimers derived from natural peach gum polysaccharide (PGB) through direct curing with 1,4-phenylenebisboronic acid. The resulting cross-linked network exhibits excellent room-temperature self-healing capability, achieving over 94% healing efficiency within 180 min, attributable to the dynamic boronic ester bonds. Furthermore, the PGB vitrimers demonstrate outstanding flame retardancy, achieving a limiting oxygen index (LOI) of 33.8% and a UL-94 V-0 rating. They also possess significant antioxidant activity (>85% DPPH radical scavenging rate) and exhibit strong antibacterial efficacy against S. aureus, with an average inhibition zone diameter of 15.3 mm. Owing to their multifunctionality, sustainability, and straightforward preparation, these peach gum-derived vitrimers hold great potential for advanced applications in coatings, packaging, and soft electronics.
可回收的生物基聚合物为减轻环境污染和减少对石油资源的依赖提供了一条很有前途的途径。然而,通过一种简单的方法将多种功能(包括阻燃性、室温自愈性、抗菌活性、抗氧化性能和闭环可回收性)集成到单个玻璃体系统中仍然是一个相当大的挑战。在此,我们通过与1,4-苯二硼酸直接固化,从天然桃胶多糖(PGB)中提取多功能生物基vitrimers来解决这一挑战。由此产生的交联网络表现出优异的室温自修复能力,由于动态硼酯键,180分钟内的修复效率超过94%。此外,PGB玻璃聚合体表现出出色的阻燃性,达到了33.8%的极限氧指数(LOI)和UL-94 V-0等级。它们还具有显著的抗氧化活性(>;85%的DPPH自由基清除率),对金黄色葡萄球菌具有较强的抗菌作用,平均抑制区直径为15.3 mm。由于其多功能,可持续性和直接制备,这些桃胶衍生的vitrimers在涂料,包装和软电子领域的先进应用具有巨大的潜力。

Wooden artifacts are highly susceptible to degradation from moisture, pollutants, and ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which presents significant challenges in Cultural Heritage conservation. This study investigates the performances of novel formulations containing short-chain fluorinated oligoamides or fluorinated amines as protective treatments for wood artifacts and the effect of specific additives to increase their stability against photodegradation. Derivatives with C4 and C6 perfluorinated chains were obtained through ring-opening reactions and their formulations optimized for use with environmentally friendly solvents. When applied to beech wood, the coated surfaces significantly improved water and oil repellency, with Water Contact Angles (WCA) exceeding 125° and Oil Contact Angles (OCA) over 100°, while causing minimal visual changes to the surface. The addition of light stabilizers, particularly selected UV Absorbers (UVA), enhanced the durability of the coatings and slightly reduced photo-induced color changes observed in virgin wood and even when the coating alone was used. Accelerated aging tests and spectroscopic analysis confirmed the maintenance of protective properties over time by the formulations, supporting their potential as sustainable and reversible treatments for the long-term protection of wooden Cultural Heritage materials.
木制文物极易受到湿气、污染物和紫外线(UV)辐射的影响,这对文化遗产保护提出了重大挑战。本研究探讨了含有短链氟化低聚酰胺或氟化胺的新型配方作为木制品保护处理的性能,以及特定添加剂对提高其抗光降解稳定性的影响。通过开环反应获得了具有C4和C6全氟链的衍生物,并优化了其配方,以便与环保溶剂一起使用。当应用于山毛榉木材时,涂层表面显着提高了水和油的拒水性,水接触角(WCA)超过125°,油接触角(OCA)超过100°,同时对表面造成最小的视觉变化。添加光稳定剂,特别是精选的紫外线吸收剂(UVA),增强了涂层的耐久性,并略微减少了在原始木材中观察到的光致颜色变化,甚至当单独使用涂层时也是如此。加速老化测试和光谱分析证实,随着时间的推移,配方保持了保护性能,支持它们作为可持续和可逆的处理方法,长期保护木制文化遗产材料的潜力。

To improve the flame retardancy of lyocell fabrics, in this paper, an eco-friendly flame retardant and antibacterial lyocell fabric (FR@Si-lyocell) was fabricated by surface grafting modification. The surface morphology, combustion properties and antibacterial rate of FR@Si-lyocell were investigated. FR@Si-lyocell exhibited excellent char-forming ability with residual char of up to 40.24 wt% and 11.78 wt% at 800oC in N2 and air, respectively. Its limiting oxygen index (LOI) value increased from 17.6% to 32.3%, and the peak heat release rate (PHRR) and total heat release (THR) decreased significantly by 94.4% and 74.5% compared to the control sample. The synergistic flame retardant mechanism of gas and condensed phases was proposed by analyzing the volatile pyrolysis products and char residue generated during the combustion process. In addition, FR@Si-lyocell showed excellent antibacterial properties, with inhibition efficiencies as high as 99.9% and 99.7% against Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). This work provided an efficient and eco-friendly method to prepare multifunctional lyocell fabrics with potential application fields.

Piperazine pyrophosphate (PAPP), a prominent representative of intumescent flame retardants (IFR), has garnered significant attention due to its high efficiency, halogen-free, and environmentally friendly properties. Nevertheless, PAPP is highly hydrophilic, which predisposes it to powder agglomeration, exudation, and migration within the polymer matrix. This study proposes an innovative surface treatment strategy to enhance the dispersibility and anti-exudation property of PAPP in polypropylene (PP) by forming a hydrophobic cross-linked layer of hydrogen-containing silicone oil (PMHS) and vinyl silicone oil (VSO) on the surface of PAPP. The experimental results showed that the water contact angle of PAPP modified with a hydrophobic cross-linked surface layer (i.e., PHV@PAPP) increased from 0° to 147° The results of migration test under boiling conditions of PP/PHV@PAPP showed that the introduction of PHV@PAPP reduced the precipitation rate of PP/PAPP from 2.29% to 0.17%, and the water absorption rate decreased from 5.75% to 1.41%. The flame-retardant performance of PP/PHV@PAPP showed significant enhancement compared to PP/PAPP, achieving UL-94 V-0 classification with merely 21 wt% flame retardant loading. Additionally, the peak heat release rate (PHRR) decreased from 66 kW·m⁻² to 39 kW·m⁻², and the time to peak heat release rate (TPHRR) increased from 240 s to 550 s. Moreover, the total smoke production (TSP) and peak smoke production rate (PSPR) were decreased. The analysis of the carbon layer after combustion shows that the density of the PP/PHV@PAPP carbon layer is greater than that of the PP/PAPP carbon layer, indicating that the modified PAPP can effectively inhibit the heat and mass transfer during combustion.
焦磷酸哌嗪(PAPP)是膨胀型阻燃剂(IFR)的杰出代表,因其高效、无卤、环保等特性而备受关注。然而,PAPP是高度亲水的,这使它易于在聚合物基质内形成粉末结块、渗出和迁移。本研究提出了一种创新的表面处理策略,通过在PAPP表面形成含氢硅油(PMHS)和乙烯基硅油(VSO)的疏水交联层,提高PAPP在聚丙烯(PP)中的分散性和抗渗出性能。实验结果表明,疏水交联表面层(即PHV@PAPP)改性后的PAPP的水接触角从0°增加到147°。PP/PHV@PAPP沸水条件下迁移试验结果表明,PHV@PAPP的引入使PP/PAPP的沉淀率从2.29%降低到0.17%,吸水率从5.75%降低到1.41%。与PP/ ppp相比,PP/PHV@PAPP的阻燃性能得到了显著提高,仅在21 wt%的阻燃负荷下就达到了UL-94 V-0级。此外,峰值热量释放速率(PHRR)从66 kW·m⁻²下降到39 kW·m⁻²,峰值热量释放速率(TPHRR)的时间从240 s增加到550 s。总产烟量(TSP)和峰值产烟率(PSPR)均有所降低。对燃烧后碳层的分析表明,PP/PHV@PAPP碳层的密度大于PP/PAPP碳层的密度,说明改性后的PAPP能有效抑制燃烧过程中的传热传质。

To address the high flammability, rapid flame spread, and non-self-extinguishing behavior of flexible polyurethane foams (FPUFs), a series of novel liquid reactive phosphate ester polyols, denoted as BOPF, CPF, and EPF, were synthesized by reacting propylene oxide with structurally distinct phosphorus compounds. When incorporated into FPUFs at 3 wt%, CPF demonstrated exceptional performance, achieving an LOI of 20.5% and a 16.4% reduction in peak heat release rate, which decreased to 740 kW/m². A key innovation was that FPUF-3CPF achieved rapid self-extinguishing within 5 s in the vertical burning test, while simultaneously exhibiting an 8.9% increase in tensile strength, effectively overcoming the common drawback of mechanical property deterioration associated with traditional flame retardants. Further investigation into the volatiles released during thermal degradation and the residues after cone calorimetry tests provided insight into the possible flame-retardant mechanisms. In the gaseous phase, the decomposition of phosphorus-based flame retardants generated phosphorus-containing free radicals, which inhibited the combustion chain reaction. In the condensed phase, these flame retardants promoted the formation of a dense and stable char layer on the foam surface. This work provided a feasible strategy for designing high-performance, halogen-free FPUFs that combine rapid self-extinction, enhanced mechanical properties, and significantly reduced fire hazard.
为了解决柔性聚氨酯泡沫(fpuf)的高可燃性、快速火焰蔓延和非自熄行为,通过环氧丙烷与结构不同的磷化合物反应,合成了一系列新型液体反应性磷酸酯多元醇,分别为BOPF、CPF和EPF。当CPF以3 wt%的重量加入fpuf时,CPF表现出优异的性能,LOI达到20.5%,峰值热释放率降低16.4%,降至740 kW/m²。FPUF-3CPF的关键创新之处在于,在垂直燃烧测试中,FPUF-3CPF在5秒内实现了快速自熄,同时抗拉强度提高了8.9%,有效克服了传统阻燃剂机械性能下降的共同缺点。进一步研究热降解过程中释放的挥发物和锥量热法测试后的残留物,有助于深入了解可能的阻燃机制。在气相中,磷系阻燃剂的分解产生含磷自由基,抑制了燃烧链式反应。在凝聚相中,这些阻燃剂促进泡沫表面形成致密而稳定的炭层。这项工作为设计高性能、无卤素fpuf提供了一种可行的策略,该策略结合了快速自灭、增强机械性能和显著降低火灾危险。

Amphiphilic block copolymers are widely used to construct thermoresponsive micellar systems with injectable sol-gel transition behavior, making them promising candidates for biomedical applications. In this study, poly(l-lactide-co-ε-caprolactone)-b-poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(l-lactide-co-ε-caprolactone) (PLCL-PEG-PLCL) triblock copolymers were employed to fabricate micelles and micelle-AuNP hybrids. AuNPs were incorporated through two distinct strategies, direct aqueous mixing and THF-induced micellization, resulting in different spatial distributions. Spectroscopic and rheological analyses revealed that corona-associated AuNPs hindered micelle association and delayed gelation, whereas core-encapsulated AuNPs preserved the intrinsic thermo-responsive behavior. In addition, micelle formation significantly enhanced the stability of AuNPs under freezing, lyophilization, and heating conditions. These results demonstrate that controlling AuNPs localization within PLCL-PEG-PLCL micelles offers an effective strategy to tune optical response, rheology, and stability, providing a versatile platform for photothermally active injectable hydrogels.
两亲嵌段共聚物被广泛用于构建具有可注射溶胶-凝胶过渡行为的热响应胶束体系,使其成为生物医学应用的有希望的候选者。本研究采用聚(l-丙交酯-co-ε-己内酯)-b-聚乙二醇-b-聚(l-丙交酯-co-ε-己内酯)(PLCL-PEG-PLCL)三嵌段共聚物制备胶束和胶束- aunp杂化物。通过两种不同的策略,直接水混合和thf诱导胶束,AuNPs被纳入,导致不同的空间分布。光谱和流变学分析表明,冠状相关的AuNPs阻碍了胶束结合和延迟凝胶化,而核包裹的AuNPs保留了固有的热响应行为。此外,胶束的形成显著增强了AuNPs在冷冻、冻干和加热条件下的稳定性。这些结果表明,在PLCL-PEG-PLCL胶束中控制AuNPs的定位提供了一种有效的策略来调节光学响应、流变学和稳定性,为光热活性可注射水凝胶提供了一个通用的平台。

This study evaluated the stability of PETG material used in clear orthodontic aligners (COAs). The material was subjected to hydrolysis, oxidation, photolysis, and hot aqueous environments. The objectives were to reproduce different situations that can occur during the intraoral aging of COAs when patients fail to follow the orthodontist's instructions or clean their aligner, and to evaluate the impact on the material properties and the compounds leached under these conditions, two factors that can have consequences for the performance and safety of the device. Changes in surface chemical groups were analyzed using Fourier Transform Infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy. Morphology was examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), while surface hydrophobicity was assessed by measuring the water contact angle. Monitoring of leaching products was performed using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). Furthermore, the thermomechanical properties were studied using several techniques, including thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA).
The most significant impact on the device was observed in an alkaline environment, during photooxidation, and after contact with hot or alcoholic beverages. These alterations manifested in different ways: the PETG chains can be degraded, resulting in the formation of small degradation products, whose leaching can be promoted by the interaction with the liquid simulant. The released products differ significantly depending on the storage conditions and may have consequences for patient safety. Interactions with environment can also modify the thermo-mechanical behavior, and alter the surface properties. The surface of the device can be modified through the formation of a rougher surface during hydrolysis, the creation of cavities during photolysis and oxidation, or the formation of coatings. A significant decrease in hydrophobicity was also observed. In addition, thermomechanical properties, particularly the static and dynamic glass transition temperatures, can decrease after storage due to chain reorganization and solvent sorption. The stiffness of the device is also impacted, with a decrease in the storage modulus, particularly for alkaline solutions and photooxidation, suggesting potential consequences for the treatment efficacy.
本研究评估了用于正畸矫正器(COAs)的PETG材料的稳定性。材料经受水解、氧化、光解和热水环境。目的是重现coa在口腔内老化过程中可能发生的不同情况,当患者没有遵循正畸医生的指示或清洁他们的对准器时,并评估在这些条件下对材料特性和浸出的化合物的影响,这两个因素可能会对设备的性能和安全性产生影响。利用傅里叶变换红外光谱(ATR-FTIR)分析了表面化学基团的变化。用扫描电子显微镜(SEM)观察形貌,通过测量水接触角评估表面疏水性。采用高效液相色谱法对浸出产物进行监测。此外,利用热重分析(TGA)、差示扫描量热法(DSC)和动态力学分析(DMA)等技术对其热力学性能进行了研究。在碱性环境中、光氧化过程中以及接触热饮料或酒精饮料后,对设备的影响最为显著。这些变化表现在不同的方面:PETG链可以被降解,从而形成小的降解产物,这些降解产物可以通过与液体模拟剂的相互作用来促进其浸出。根据储存条件的不同,释放的产品差异很大,并可能对患者安全产生影响。与环境的相互作用也可以改变热力学行为,改变表面性质。该装置的表面可以通过在水解过程中形成更粗糙的表面、在光解和氧化过程中产生空腔或形成涂层来修饰。还观察到疏水性显著降低。此外,由于链重组和溶剂吸附,热机械性能,特别是静态和动态玻璃化转变温度在储存后会降低。设备的刚度也受到影响,存储模量下降,特别是对于碱性溶液和光氧化,这表明对治疗效果的潜在影响。
