Studies have shown that fluorinated oil repellents are potentially harmful to humans and the environment, and therefore, the development of non-toxic, green, and environmentally friendly oil repellents has become inevitable. Microcrystalline wax is a branched saturated alkane with a molecular weight of 580–700 Da, which has a lower surface tension than edible oil. Herein, microcrystalline wax emulsion (fluorine-free oil repellent) was prepared by mechanical stirring–homogenization, the effects of emulsifier ratio and dosage on the emulsion performance were systematically investigated, and the resultant stable microcrystalline wax emulsions were applied to the paper surface to explore the oil and water resistance and water vapor barrier performance. The results showed that stabilized microcrystalline wax emulsion was obtained at the emulsifier Span-80/Tween-80 ratio of 5:5, and the emulsifier dosage was 20% (relative to the microcrystalline wax). When 6 g/m2of microcrystalline wax was applied to the surface of starch pretreated paper, the kit rating value of the paper was high, at up to 10/12, the Cobb60value decreased to 12.5 g/m2, the overall migration of paper was less than 10 mg/dm2, and the water vapor permeability was reduced by 81.9%, which met the requirements of oil and water resistance performance of food packaging paper.Keywords:microcrystalline wax emulsion;oil and water resistance;fluorine-free oil repellent

Wood-based panels find widespread application in the furniture and construction industries. However, over 90 % of adhesives used are synthesized with formaldehyde, leading to formaldehyde emission and associated health risks. In this study, an entirely bio-based adhesive (OSL) was innovatively proposed through the condensation of multi-aldehyde derived from the oxidization of sucrose (OS) with sodium lignosulfonate (L). This approach positioned oxidized sucrose (OS) as a viable substitute for formaldehyde, ensuring safety, simplicity, and enhance water resistance upon reaction with L. The optimization of the OSL adhesive preparation process involved determining the oxidant level for high sucrose conversion to aldehyde (13 % based on sucrose), the mass ratio of OS to L (0.8), and hot-pressing temperature (200 °C). Notably, the shear strength of 3-plywood bonded with the developed adhesive (1.04 MPa) increased to 1.42 MPa after being immersed in hot water at 63 ± 3 °C for 3 h. Additionally, the plywood specimens exhibited excellent performance after soaking in boiling water for 3 h, resulting in a shear strength of 1.03 MPa. Chemical analysis using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), 1 H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) confirmed an addition reaction between L and OS, forming a dense network structure, effectively enhanceing the water resistance of OSL adhesives. Furthermore, compared with lignin-formaldehyde resin adhesive (LF), the OSL adhesive exhibited superior wet shear strength. This study offered an innovative approach for developing lignin-based adhesives utilizing a biomass aldehyde (OS), as a promising substitute for formaldehyde in the wood industry. The findings indicated that this approach may advance lignin-based adhesives, ensuring resistance to strength deterioration under highly humid environmental conditions.

Zein electrospun nanofibers have poor water resistance, which restricts its applications in food preservation. To improve the water resistance of nanofibers, zein/ethyl cellulose (EC) hybrid nanofibers were prepared at different ratios. Besides, we also encapsulated cinnamon essential oil (CEO) into electrospun fibers for Agaricus bisporus preservation. As the weight ratio of EC increased from 0% (ZE-10) to 100% (ZE-01), the viscosity of electrospinning solutions gradually increased from 80.33 ± 19.23 mPa·s to 756.78 ± 22.48 mPa·s, resulting in sufficient chain entanglement for the preparation of uniform fibers. The average diameters of ZE-01, ZE-12, ZE-11, ZE-21, and ZE-10 nanofibers were 326 ± 53 nm, 267 ± 31 nm, 237 ± 51 nm, 292 ± 45 nm, and 362 ± 70 nm, respectively. The hydrogen bonds between the hydroxyl groups of ethyl cellulose and the amino groups of zein decreased the amount of free hydrophilic group, thus improving water resistance of nanofibers. Food packaging potential was evaluated using Agaricus bisporus . The zein/EC nanofibers loaded CEO significantly decreased weight loss and maintained the firmness of the Agaricus bisporus , and improved the quality of the Agaricus bisporus during storage.

Ammonium polyphosphate (APP), which is an important component of intumescent flame retardant (IFR), has been modified with (3-aminopropyl) triethoxysilane (KH550) and silicon resin to enhance its hydrophobic properties. The structure and properties of the modified ammonium polyphosphate (MAPP) were well-characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and water contact angle (CA). The water CA of MAPP was as high as 148°, which demonstrated that MAPP possessed excellent hydrophobic properties. MAPP and APP were mixed with triazine, which is a char-foaming agent (CFA), and polypropylene (PP) to prepare PP/MAPP/CFA and PP/APP/CFA composites, respectively. The fire retardancy and thermal degradation behavior of PP/MAPP/CFA and PP/APP/CFA composites were investigated by limiting oxygen index (LOI), vertical burning test (UL-94), cone calorimetry, and thermogravimetric analysis. The surface and fracture morphologies were evaluated by SEM. The mechanical properties was analyzed by tensile, flexural, and izod impact tests. The results demonstrated that the MAPP imparted excellent flame retardancy of PP/MAPP/CFA systems, along with a higher LOI value, UL-94 rating, and lower heat release rate and total heat released values. The modification enhanced the interfacial adhesion, mechanical stability, and thermal stability of PP/MAPP/CFA composites. Moreover, PP/MAPP/CFA composites with the thickness of 1.6 mm can still pass the UL-94 V-0 rating after treatment with water for 168 h at 70 °C, meanwhile the weight loss rate was decreased from 2.31% for PP/APP/CFA composites to 0.85%, indicating excellent water resistance. This investigation shows a promising formulation for water-resistant intumescent flame-retardant PP composites with extraordinary properties.

Epoxy adhesive as an engineering material has more and more applications in industry. But to date, water resistance of the adhesive is still a very difficult problem to be solved. By mimicking mussel adhesive proteins, dopamine (DA) was applied as one of the two curing agents of epoxy adhesive to improve the water resistance of the adhesive, and the other was phenethylamine (PEA). The effects of the contents of DA on both adhesion property and water absorption of epoxy/PEA/DA adhesives were investigated in detail. The results of lap shear test (LST) showed that the adhesion strength of the epoxy adhesives after the introduction of proper amount of DA was still up to 7 MPa even after the sample was immersed in water for over 230 days. And then the effects of metal ions Zn(II) and Fe(III) on the adhesion properties of the epoxy adhesives were also further studied. It was found that the adhesion strength of the adhesives, when the content of DA was no more than 5 wt%, can be further increased through the complexation of a small quantity of ferric ions with DA. The coordination mechanism of catechol with Fe(III) ions in the system has been investigated by both UV/Vis spectra and XRD curves. The results testified that more bis-catecholate complexes form at high DA: Fe ratios and thus the adhesives have higher cohesion strength for having more regular structures after curing. In a word, the introductions of proper amount of DA and metal ion endow the epoxy adhesive better water resistance and excellent adhesion properties.

Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) is a promising conductive polymer due to its high conductivity and optical transparency. However, two main challenges remain to be solved for its practical application, including improving the humidity stability and water resistance. Here, a novel cross-linkable copolymer of methacryloyloxyethyl isocyanate grafted poly(styrene sulfonate-co-2-hydroxyethyl acrylate) [MOI-P(SS-HEA)] is synthesized by a radical polymerization and condensation reaction. MOI-P(SS-HEA) is used as a multi-functional counter anion to obtain the UV-curable conductive dispersion of PEDOT:MOI-P(SS-HEA). The electrical conductivity, humidity stability, and water resistance of the cross-linked PEDOT:MOI-P(SS-HEA) [PEDOT:MOI-P(SS-HEA)-C] conductive films are investigated. The results indicate that the UV cross-linked reaction significantly improves the humidity stability and water resistance of the PEDOT:MOI-P(SS-HEA)-C conductive film.

Side-chain optimized poly (2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide)- g -poly (styrene sulfonic acid) (PPO- g -PSSA) is designed with balanced water-resistance and sulfonation degree. The PPO- g -PSSA is synthesized by controlled atom-transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) from brominated poly (2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) (PPO- x Br) and ethyl styrene-4-sulfonate and followed by hydrolysis. A series of PPO-g-PSSA are prepared possessing different bromination degree (x) of PPO-xBr and polymerization degree (m) of the side-chains and the water-resistances of the fabricated membranes are investigated. The results show that a PPO-g-PSSA at relatively low x (x < 0.2) and high m (m > 4) exhibits good balance between the water-resistance and the sulfonation degree. Namely, it displays suitable proton conductivity with compromised water-resistance. Moreover, a maximum ion exchange capacity (IEC) of 3.24 mmol g −1 is reached without the sacrifice of water-resistance. In addition, PPO-g-0.08PSSA-13 and PPO-g-0.14PSSA-4 are chosen characterized by thermogravimetric analysis , proton conductivities and mechanical properties. At 90% RH, the optimized PPO-g-0.08PPSA-13 possesses a proton conductivity of 37.9 mS cm −1 at 40 °C and 45.5 mS cm −1 at 95 °C, respectively.

Based on stearyl chloride and native starch, esterified starch were prepared and the chemical structure was characterized by 1 H NMR and FTIR. It was found that stearyl chloride was an efficient agent to fabricate esterified starch with high degree of substitution (DS). During the melt blending of esterified starch (80 wt%) and poly(caprolactone) (PCL, 20 wt%), it was shown the torque of PCL/esterified starch was much lower than that of PCL/native starch without any plasticizer, and further decreased with increasing DS. Compared with PCL/native starch, the tensile properties of PCL/esterified starch composites were significantly enhanced. The tensile strength and elongation at break were increased from 2.7 MPa to 56% for PCL/native starch composites to 9.1 MPa and 626% for PCL/esterified starch ones with DS of 1.50, respectively. SEM observation revealed the esterified starch particles in matrix became smaller and more uniform. In addition, the water resistance and hydrophobic character of PCL/esterified starch composites were improved. PCL composites containing 80 wt% esterified starch with favorable mechanical properties would have great potential applications in broad areas.

This study employed a wet impregnation method to synthesize five types of Cu/HZSM-5 adsorbents with Si/Al ratios of 25, 50, 85, 200, and 300, used for the removal of H 2 S in low-temperature, low-oxygen environments. The impact of different Si/Al ratios on the adsorption oxidative performance of Cu 30 /HZSM-5–85 adsorbents was investigated. According to the performance test results, Cu 30 /HZSM-5–85 exhibited the highest breakthrough capacity, reaching 231.75 mg H 2 S/g sorbent . Cu/HZSM-5 sorbent maintains a strong ability to remove H 2 S even under humid conditions and shows excellent water resistance. XRD , BET, and XPS results revealed that CuO is the primary active species, with Cu 30 /HZSM-5–85 having the largest surface area and highest CuO content, providing more active sites for H 2 S adsorption. H 2 -TPR and O 2 -TPD results confirmed that Cu 30 /HZSM-5–85 sorbent exhibits outstanding redox properties and oxygen storage capacity, contributing to excellent oxygen transferability in the molecular sieve adsorption-oxidation process. With notable characteristics such as a large surface area, high desulfurization efficiency, and water resistance, Cu 30 /HZSM-5–85 sorbents hold significant importance for industrial applications.

The organic solvent-based nitrocellulose (NC) coatings exhibit a high volatile solvent content, leading to significant environmental pollution. Whereas, existing waterborne NC-based coating have demonstrated poor water resistance and complex application methods. Therefore, this study aims to develop a green and highly water-resistant waterborne NC-based coating system utilizing a simple anti-solvent method with two environmentally friendly plasticizers , namely acetyl tributyl citrate (ATBC) and triethyl citrate (TEC), as film-forming additives. The dynamic light scattering (DLS) studies revealed that the particle size of NC-based nanoparticles increased with an increase in ATBC content, while it remained relatively constant with an increase in TEC content. Moreover, the particle size results demonstrated that the storage stability of aqueous dispersions containing NC/ATBC (NA) was superior to those containing NC/TEC (NT). Additionally, the physicochemical properties of aqueous dispersions-based films (N dis ), including film formation, hygroscopicity , water resistance, transparency, thermal stability, and mechanical properties were evaluated using solvent-based films (N sol ) as control samples. The results demonstrated that the N dis films exhibited a dense and uniform structure, with physical and chemical properties that were essentially comparable to those of N sol films. However, the mechanical properties of N dis films were somewhat influenced by the nanoparticle size, leading to reduced mechanical performance when the particle size of nanoparticles in the aqueous dispersion was excessively large. The equilibrium moisture content for NA and NT films were reduced to 1.119% and 1.872%, respectively, at a relative humidity of 95%, in comparison to pure NC films (3.975%). Simultaneously, water contact angle measurements indicated an increase from 77° for pure NC film to 89° for NA film and 82° for NT film. All films exhibited superior transparency characteristics. Overall, NA films display excellent water resistance and transparency as well as good mechanical properties.

Marrying a randomly distributed network of wood fibers with sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC-Na) by impregnation is a scalable method to prepare highly transparent and hazy (TH) paper with superior mechanical properties. However, the poor water resistance of this TH paper is a hindrance for its practical applications. In this study, a facile protonation process along with desalination is proposed to remove the above obstacle by reducing electrostatic repulsion among CMC molecular chains while strengthening the physical cross-linking among CMC molecular chains and also between CMC-H molecular chains and wood fibers in water. Consequently, the protonated TH paper not only presents an enhanced water resistance but also shows a negligible deterioration in optical and mechanical properties compared with the untreated TH paper. Moreover, the influence of the water resistance of various substrates (PET film, untreated TH paper, and protonated TH paper) on the electrical conductivity of inkjet-printed silver nanoparticle lines on them is investigated. We expect that such water resistant, transparent paper with high optical haze may open new avenues for the innovative application of paper and bring added value to existing products.

A series of solvent-free waterborne polyurethanes (WPUs) with different soft segment structure were prepared by respectively using different number-average molecular weight ( M n ) of polytetramethylene glycol (PTMG, M n = 1000, 2000, 3000) and poly (1,4-butylene adipate) (PBA, M n = 1000, 2000 3000) as main diol in this paper. Effect of soft segment crystallization on water resistance of WPUs was discussed. The crystallization properties of WPU films were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The water resistance was determined by water absorption ratio. DSC and XRD results confirm that there are no crystalline structures in the WPU films which are synthesized with PTMG ( M n = 1000, 2000, 3000) and PBA ( M n = 1000), while the WPU films synthesized with PBA ( M n = 2000 and 3000) have obvious crystalline structures at room temperature. Meanwhile, the WPU films synthesized with PBA ( M n = 2000 and 3000) possess excellent water resistance because the existence of crystalline structure.
