In this work, a bio-derived char-forming strategy for surface fireproofing was developed. Specifically, a vinyl-modified tannic acid, (VTA) was synthesized by a ring-opening reaction between tannic acid and glycidyl methacrylate. Integration of epoxy acrylate resin, VTA and tri-(glycidyl methacrylate) phosphate (TGMA), a novel UV-curing coating was prepared, which rendered the PET sheets with superior fireproofing effect. PET samples that were surface coated with the designed UV-curing agent displayed a UL-94 V-0 rating. The peak heat release rate (peak HRR) for combustion of PET was reduced by 10.66% upon application of the flame-retardant coating in cone calorimetry tests. However, the total smoke release (TSR) increased by 48.28% due to pyrolysis of tannic acid produces 1,2,3-benzenetriol and carbon dioxide, plus the triol underwent partial combustion with the formation of large amount of particulates. The thermal behavior of cured coating revealed that the presence of high carbon content aromatic tannic acid promoting cationic crosslink and char formation ability. When 40% VTA was added into a coating, the pyrolysis char yield increased by 36.88%. Furthermore, the capability of inhibit heat transfer with the presence of VTA significantly decreased the maximum rate of weight loss for the coating by 85.97%. The increase in the VTA content promoted crosslinking density of the coating, which leads to good rigidity, outstanding abrasion resistance and remarkable water fastness.

Traditional superhydrophobic cotton fabrics (SCFs) for oil/water separation were usually fabricated by surface coating with inorganic nanoparticles combined with nonrenewable and nonbiodegradable or even toxic fossil-based chemicals, which would lead to secondary environmental pollution after their lifetime. In this study, we report robust, nanoparticle-free, fluorine-free SFC, which was prepared by acid etching followed by surface coating with epoxidized soybean oil resin (CESO) and subsequent modification with stearic acid (STA). No toxic compound and no nanoparticle were included within the SCF and all the raw materials including cotton fabric, CESO and STA are biodegradable and derived from biological resources. The SCF showed excellent mechanical stability and chemical/environmental resistances. The superhydrophobicity of the SFC survived from mechanical abrasion , tape peeling, ultrasonication , solvent erosion and low/high temperature exposure. The SCF also exhibited good acid/alkali resistance with contact angle over 150° toward different pH water droplets. Moreover, the SCF could efficiently separate oil/water mixtures with efficiency above 97.9% and the superhydrophobicity remained after reusing for at least 10 times. The fully biological-derived SCF with excellent mechanical and chemical resistances exhibit great potential for separation of oil/water mixtures.

Although various eco-friendly and sustainable biobased polyurethane-coated controlled-release fertilizers (BPCFs) have been developed, their applications were limited by the bio-based coating contained many microscopic holes. In this work, a nano-soy-protein microcapsule-enabled self-healing biopolyurethane-coated controlled-release fertilizer (NSBCF) with enhanced controlled-release performance was fabricated. Nanoscale soy-protein microcapsules (SMCs) were prepared from soy-protein isolate (SPI) and poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) using the water-oil-water emulsification technology. The self-healing biopolymer coatings of NSBCF with uniformly dispersed SMCs were constructed through self-assembly. The controlled-release longevity of NSBCF was >28 days longer than that of the BPCF with the unmodified coating. The self-healing mechanism of NSBCF was determined by directly observing the restoration area and the 3D pore distribution of coating using fluorescence labeling and X-ray computed tomography . After being released from the SMCs, SPI self-repaired the coating by reacting with glutaraldehyde to form solid resins to clog the microscopic holes. The SMCs-enabled self-healing process successfully reduced the nutrient release rate and extended the nutrient release longevity of NSBCF. This novel biobased controlled-released fertilizer with self-healing function represents a new direction for the development of high efficiency and environmentally friendly fertilizers to improve agriculture and food sustainability .

Soy protein isolate (SPI) is one of the most abundant plant proteins in nature. Enormous studies have been carried out on SPI-based materials, however, the application for energy storage devices is still limited due to its fiddly film forming process and lack of electrochemical performance. Herein, we presented a SPI-based polymer electrolyte by grafting modification with the hydrophilic functional monomer acrylamide (AM). The optimized gel polymer electrolyte (GPE) exhibited an excellent ionic conductivity up to 5.10 mS cm −1 , which was greatly higher than gel polymer electrolyte based on original pure SPI (1.84 mS cm −1 ). More significantly, supercapacitors constructed by grafting-modified SPI delivered a specific capacitance of 141.74 F g −1 at 1.0 A g −1 and exhibited high capacitance retention of 95% after 8000 charge−discharge cycles. Beyond that, redox-active polymer electrolyte based on grafting-modified SPI combining with KI enormously improved the energy density of supercapacitor up to 27.52 Wh kg −1 at a current density of 0.5 A g −1 . This work provided a novel and facile strategy to obtain a high-performance SPI-based polymer electrolyte and laid an experimental foundation for the high-value application of SPI in the field of energy storage devices.

The hydrophobic modification of cellulose nanofibers (CNF) was carried out via free radical polymerization using methyl methacrylate (MMA) as the monomer to improve the compatibility between CNF and poly lactic acid (PLA). Followed by the preparation of the novel nanocomposites in combination of the organic montmorillonite and the substrate. The resulting nanocomposites were then coated on paper surface using a cast-coating process in an attempt to improve the barrier properties towards water vapor and oxygen. In addition, the composite films are prepared via a solution casting method. The water vapor transmission rate (WVTR), water vapor permeability (WVP), oxygen transmission rate (OTR), and tensile strength of the as-prepared films were systematically measured. The corresponding results demonstrated that the WVTR, WVP and OTR decreased with the addition of a certain content of MCNF in coatings. 0.2 wt% MCNF is the optimum content, showing the best gas resistance and tensile performance. The lowest value of WVTR and WVP are 10.30 g/(m 2 ⋯24 h) and 3306.58 g⋯μm/(m 2 ⋯24 h) for films with 0.2 wt% MCNF added, which is 88.23% and 26.05% lower than that of PLA composite film without NFC.

In this paper, a facile bio-templating method is proposed to prepare NiCoP coated on amorphous carbon (NiCoP@AC) composite electrode materials with using bagasse as template and carbon source. NiCoP nanowire network arrays precursors coating on bagasse substrate with high yield were prepared via a novel synthesis strategy utilizing the toluene-water interface reaction process, which subsequently formed as NiCoP@AC composite electrode materials after phosphating process. The assembled core-shell structure attenuated the volume expansion during charging and discharging, additionally, the overall electrical conductivity of the composite was also improved owing to the characteristic of bagasse biochar. The NiCoP@AC electrode exhibited high specific capacitance (1706 F g −1 at 1 A g −1 ), outstanding rate capability (82.1 % capacity retention from 1 to 20 A g −1 ) and good cycling stability (retaining 80.0 % capacitance over 5000 cycles). In addition, bagasse biomass activated carbon (BAC) was prepared via a typical alkaline activation process for the use as negative electrode. The as-fabricated NiCoP@AC//BAC supercapacitor displayed a high energy density of 46.2 Wh kg −1 at a power density of 807.3 W kg −1 , and an excellent capacitance retention rate (88.5 % after 5000 cycles), suggesting that the as-prepared NiCoP@AC electrode materials have wide application prospects in high-performance supercapacitors.

Inks composed of renewable resources are important for the environment protection. We report preparation of a new type of edible chitosan-based flexographic ink. The performance of three inks, containing three different molecular weight (MW) chitosan, was analyzed by the different experimental techniques. The Ink viscosity was investigated from the parameters shear rate, time, temperature, and flexographic printing simulation. The printing quality on coated paper was studied by the scratch resistance, contact angle, print fastness, chromatic aberration, and dot gain. Viscosity recovery rate reached 69% after 6 s, and the print fastness was up to 91%. The experimental Δ E is 0.97, the dot gain is 23%, and contact angle is 69° for the best ink. Experimental results indicate that the developed ink is suitable for the flexographic printing with good application prospects. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2016 , 133 , 43997.

An integrated approach was developed for preparing epoxy fatty acid methyl esters (EFAMEs) from cottonseed using a two-phase solvent extraction (TPSE) process followed by sequential base-catalyzed transesterification and epoxidation reactions. The TPSE process was performed to achieve simultaneous production of high-quality crude cottonseed oil and nontoxic cottonseed meal. The base-catalyzed transesterification of the cottonseed oil proceeded smoothly at 30 °C over 2 h to provide a high yield of fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs). Subsequent epoxidation of the unsaturated FAMEs using petroleum ether as a non-polar solvent, H 3 PO 4 as a catalyst, 0.3 g/g H 2 O 2 as an oxygen donor, and HCOOH as an oxygen carrier gave the corresponding EFAMEs with a conversion to oxirane of 0.85 g/g. The order of effectiveness of catalysts was found to be H 3 PO 4 > TiO 2 > H 2 SO 4 > strong-acid cation exchange resin. The bio-based integrated process and new methods for the preparation of modified EFAMEs show great promise for comprehensive development and commercial applications of cottonseed with fewer steps and lower cost.

This paper aims at elucidating the influence of liquid crystals (LCs) on the properties of shape memory polymers. A novel series of liquid crystalline shape memory polyurethanes, named LC-SF-SMPUs were successfully prepared by chemically cross-linking polyester sisal fibre cellulose (PSF) with polycaprolactone (PCL) and 4,4′-di(6-hydroxyhexyloxy)biphenyl (BP6). The effect of BP6 on the morphology and properties has been carefully investigated. The results show that the cross-linking structures provided a stable network, high elasticity and good thermal stability to the LC-SF-SMPUs, and demonstrate that the obtained LC-SF-SMPUs not only maintained the LC property of BP6, but also enhanced the intrinsic crystallization of PCL. Thus, the LC-SF-SMPUs showed excellent multi-shape memory properties with two crystalline transition temperatures. In the triple-shape memory effect of LC-SF-SMPUs, the first step of strain recovery is associated with the melting transition of the soft segment crystals of the polyurethane matrix, and the second step of strain recovery results from the melting transition of the LC mesogen. The strain fixity improved with increasing BP6-content, due to the enhanced crystallinity. However, the total strain recovery decreased as a result of the lubrication of the BP6 chains. This work demonstrates a new combination of LC properties and multi-shape memory properties, which makes it ideal for many potential applications in new smart devices.

The application of phthalate plasticizers has been restricted around the world due to their poor migration and potential harm to the human body. Hence, producing functional bio-based plasticizers via exploiting clean and reusable resources meets the satisfaction of current demands. In this study, flame-retardant rubber seed oil-based plasticize (FRP) was prepared via epoxidation reaction and ring opening addition reactions, which was used as a flame-resistant plasticizer for polyvinyl chloride to replace petroleum-based phthalate plasticizer. When DOP was replaced with FRP, the torque of PVC blends increased from 11.4 to 18.4 N⋅m, the LOI value increased from 24.3% for PVC-FRP-0% to 33.1% for PVC-FRP-20. The THR value diminished from 39 MJ/m 2 (pertaining to PVC-FRC-0) to 22 MJ/m 2 Tg increased from 23°C to 47°C, the weight loss of plasticized PVC blends significantly reduced from 22.6% to 2.8% in leaching tests. The study provided a new way to prepare flame retardant plasticizer using rubber seed oil as raw material.
