Polyelectrolyte-enhanced ultrafiltration was investigated for rhenium(VII) recovery from aqueous solutions by using polyquaternium-6 (PQ6) as a complexing agent. The effects of the operating parameters on the permeate flux ( J ) and the rhenium rejection coefficient ( R ) were studied. In the process of concentration, J declines slowly and R is about 1. The concentrated solution was used for the decomplexation. It takes 10 min to achieve the decomplexation equilibrium at a chloride ion concentration of 100 mg L –1 . The decomplexation percentage reaches 45.6 %. In the diafiltration process, rhenium is extracted effectively, and the purification of the regenerated PQ6 is satisfactory. The regenerated PQ6 was used to bind rhenium(VII). The binding capacity of the regenerated PQ6 is close to that of fresh PQ6.

The hydrolyzed peach gum polysaccharide (HPGP) prepared at acidic condition is investigated as an anionic polyelectrolyte for the first time. A hydrolysis mechanism is proposed by monitoring the hydrolysis efficiency and morphological change of crude peach gum, and the intrinsic viscosity of resulted HPGP as a function of hydrolysis time. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and ζ-potential measurements reveal that HPGP with multiple carboxylic groups is negatively charged in water in the pH range 3–11. The HPGP exhibits remarkable pH and ionic strength responsiveness, as proven by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements. Moreover, the layer-by-layer (LbL) self-assembly experiments further confirmed that the HPGP can be utilized as an anionic polyelectrolyte . Considering the facile availability, favorable compatibility and intriguing functionality of HPGP, this study opens up enormous opportunities for the large-scale utilization of peach gum resource.

With the continuous development of flexible electronic devices, the corresponding demands for electrochemical storage devices with flexibility and self-healing properties have been raised. However, the current supercapacitors still have great limitations in mechanical and self-healing performance. Herein, flexible and self-healing poly (2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid) (PAMPSA)/polyvinylimidazole (PVI)/LiCl polyelectrolyte is easily fabricated by a one-step copolymerization . The combined effect of electrostatic interaction and hydrogen bonding significantly enhances the mechanical and self-repairing ability of polyelectrolytes, showing excellent stretchability of 1137%, fracture stress of 154.57 kPa, and high healing efficiency of 91% at room temperature for 24 h. Besides, flexible electrode is prepared by adsorbing poly 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene/polystyrene sulfonate on a polyurethane sponge. After assembly with a polyelectrolyte, the as-prepared supercapacitor proves excellent electrochemical performance. The area capacitance is 106 mF cm −2 at 50 mV s −1 and excellent cycle stability (97% capacity retention rate after 2000 cycles). In addition, the completely cut off supercapacitor can be successfully restored to 90% of the original capacitance, and still maintain a capacitance retention rate of up to 98% after 1000 cycles. This work provides a possible solution for designing low-cost intelligent and durable electrochemical storage device for smart clothing or electronic skin.

The endowment of perm-selectivity for specific ions will further extend the applications of heterogeneous membrane. In this work, a side-chain type weak cationic polyelectrolyte, PVDF-g-PVP, was synthesized for surface hydrophobilization of heterogeneous anion-exchange membrane (AEM) in order to impart perm-selectivity between specific anions with different Gibbs hydration energy. After microstructure observation and chemical composition analyses by SEM, AFM, EA and FTIR, the perm-selectivity between specific anions, electrical resistance, transport number, limiting current density, surface homogeneity, as well as salt permeability of the modified AEMs were investigated. Series of electrodialysis experiments in SO 4 2– /Cl – system indicated that a significant perm-selectivity was indeed achieved by the attachment of PVDF-g-PVP coating. In particular, it was worth noting that only a small loss of membrane conductivity was observed after the functionalization. This should be closely related to the micro-phase separation morphology of the coating layer which was induced by the polarity difference between the main chains and side chains of PVDF-g-PVP. Besides, the chronopotentiometric analyses indicated surface homogeneity of the heterogeneous AEM was significantly enhanced and then effectively ameliorated concentration polarization behaviors at the membrane-solution interface. Meanwhile, the perm-selectivity for co-ions was also improved and suppressed back diffusion behaviors of salt driven by concentration gradient. In brief, the modifying scheme proposed in this work can effectively improve comprehensive transport properties of conventional heterogeneous AEM.

Currently, polysaccharide-based hydrogels are widely studied macromolecular networks to modify drug dissolution from controlled-releasing matrix tablets. Among them, polyelectrolyte complexes (PEC) films consisted of chitosan (CS) and sodium alginate (SA) could be obtained via spontaneously assembling under physiological gastrointestinal environment. Here, we utilized these self-assembled PEC films as an efficient coating materials to develop controlled-released matrix tablets through compression coating process, with paracetamol (APAP) as model drug. The constitutive and morphology characteristic studies on these PEC films illustrated that the mixture of CS and SA with the weight ratio of 1:1 would be an promising outer layer for compression-coating tablets. In addition, the in vitro drug releasing behavior experiments demonstrated that the optimized compression coating tablets displayed satisfied zero-order drug releasing profits. Furthermore, the in vivo pharmacokinetic studies of these APAP loaded compression-coated tablets in New Zealand rabbits gave that the T max (12.32 ± 1.05 h) was significantly prolonged ( p < 0.01), compared to that (0.89 ± 0.26 h) of common APAP tablets (Jinfuning ® ) after oral administration. These studies suggest that the compression-coated tablets with self-assembled PEC film as coating outer layer may be a promising strategy for peroral controlled release delivery system of water soluble drugs.

Lost circulation has been a serious problem to be solved in many drilling practices during oil, gas and geothermal well drillings. Many materials have been developed and evaluated for the purpose. However, their performance to plug severe leakoff is very limited. Herein, an injectable self-healing hydrogel based on polyampholyte with sulfonated and quaternary ammonium functionalities (P(MPTC- co -NaSS)) was developed and comprehensively evaluated to prevent the severe loss of fluids to formation. By incorporating cation-π (π is for aromatic residues) interaction, the hydrogel shown self-healing property and robustness in severe environment (temperature, salt) by comparison with other hydrogels merely consisting of cation-anion and H-bonding interactions. Aromatic residues enhanced thermal stability above 310 °C. The plugging measurement shown that an addition of 2 wt% dried gel particles can plug high-permeability formation and endure a high pressure of 6 MPa, produce much lower circulation loss and result in a dramatically increased loss volume reduction rate (63.5%) compared with a commercial polymer gel product and an inert material (9.4%) after a self-healing process. Markedly, P(MPTC- co -NaSS) can be used in a wide range of formation temperature (as high as 150 °C) and salt concentrations (NaCl, CaCl 2 , as high as 15 wt %). In addition to suitable particle size and mechanically robustness, it was also attributed to the soft, swelling, deformable, toughness and self-healable features of P(MPTC- co -NaSS) gel particles as well as the strong adhesion to negatively charged formations in water, even under high thermal and saline condition. These characteristics also contributed to a long-term plugging performance, beneficial to avoid repeated lost circulation in drilling operation. Besides, this self-healing polyampholyte gel particles dispersed well in saline fluid and maintained stable rheological properties after hot rolling, which was favorable to drilling fluid circulation. This study shown the application potential of self-healing materials as plugging material candidate in petroleum drilling industry.

A series of sphere-like polyelectrolyte complexes (PECs) and their homogeneous polyelectrolyte complex membranes (HPECMs) were synthesized by using sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMCNa) and poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDDA). Different compositions or ionic complexation degrees (ICD) of PECs could be characterized by FT-IR spectra. The circular dichroism spectrum (CD) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) were employed to examine the conformation and morphology of PECs, respectively. Zeta (ζ) potential was utilized to investigate the charge density of PEC particles while the surface hydrophilicity of HPECMs was studied by using contact angle (CA) meter. When subjected to ethanol dehydration, HPECMs revealed a satisfactory pervaporation performance and desired anti-trade-off phenomenon. For HPECM 0.31 and HPECM 0.57, the permeation fluxes were 2.25 kg m −2 h −1 and 2.93 kg m −2 h −1 , and the water content in permeate reached up to 99.35 wt% and 99.38 wt%, with respect to 10 wt% water in feed under 70 °C. All the results indicated that small-sized and sphere-like PECs were truly in favor of enhancing the pervaporation performance in ethanol dehydration.

Charged cyclic polymers, e.g. cyclic DNAs and polypeptides , play enabling roles in organisms, but their synthesis was challenging due to the well-known “polyelectrolyte effect”. To tackle the challenge, we developed a templated method to synthesize a library of imidazolium and pyridinium based cyclic poly(ionic liquid)s. Cyclic templates, cyclic polyimidazole and poly(2-pyridine), were synthesized first through ring-closure method by light-induced Diels−Alder click reaction. Through quaternization of cyclic templates followed by anion metathesis, the cyclic poly(ionic liquid)s were synthesized, which paired with varied counter anions.
