Polyetheramine (PEA) is a swelling inhibitor used to address engineering challenges arising from the interaction between montmorillonite (Mt) and water. This study comprehensively investigates the adsorption characteristics of PEA on three representative expansive clay samples: Na-Mt, Ca-Mt, and engineered expansive soil. Additionally, the desorption of exchangeable ions is examined. The findings reveal that a two-stage adsorption kinetic model and a pseudo-second-order kinetic model can properly describe the adsorption kinetics of PEA on expansive clays. PEA exhibits a strong capacity for ion exchange with sodium ions, while the exchange capacity for calcium ions is limited. Both protonated and non-protonated PEA contribute to rapid adsorption processes. The adsorption isotherms are well-fitted by the Langmuir and Freundlich models, with the Langmuir model being reasonable. At lower equilibrium concentrations, a higher proportion of the adsorption amount is attributed to ion exchange compared to higher equilibrium concentrations. Ion exchange emerges as the primary factor contributing to the adsorption of PEA on Na-Mt, whereas the adsorption of PEA on Ca-Mt and expansive soil is primarily attributed to physical adsorption by non-protonated PEA. X-ray diffraction results reveal significant intercalation effects of PEA as they penetrate the interlayer space and hinder interlayer ion hydration. Fourier transform infrared spectrum results demonstrate that the adsorption of PEA minimally impacts the framework of Mt structural units but primarily reduces the adsorbed water content. Clay-PEA composites exhibit a decreased affinity for water. Zeta potential experiments indicate that the adsorption of PEA significantly diminishes the surface potential of clay-PEA composite particles, effectively inhibiting their hydration dispersion.Keywords:polyetheramine;montmorillonite;swelling inhibitor;adsorption;ions;structure

Nano-organic hybrid materials (Al2O3-NOHMs) were synthesized with nano-alumina as the core, γ-(2,3-epoxypropyl) propyl trimethoxysiane (KH560) as the corona, and three of polyetheramine M2070, D2000, M1000 as the canopy, respectively. Al2O3-NOHMs were used as fillers to prepare MMMs with Pebax as substrate to improve the CO2 separation performance. The Al2O3-NOHMs were characterized by TEM and rheological properties. The results showed that the synthesized Al2O3-NOHMs were liquid-like and had a core-shell structure, which can effectively reduce Al2O3 agglomeration in the membrane. FT-IR analysis of MMMs showed that Al2O3-NOHMs and Pebax were physically blended, TGA indicated that Al2O3-NOHMs do not affect the thermal stability of the membrane, and XRD indicated that the addition of Al2O3-NOHMs destroyed the interchain hydrogen bond of Pebax and reduced the crystallinity of MMMs. The gas permeability of the membrane was tested under ideal gas conditions, compared with pure membrane, the CO2 permeability of Al2O3-NOHM(M2070)/Pebax MMMs and Al2O3-NOHM(D2000)/Pebax MMMs reached 137.15 Barrer (24.68%) and 147.52 Barrer (34.11%), and the selectivity of CO2/N2 reached 77.82 (58.84%) and 72.31 (47.59%) at 30°C and 0.3 MPa, respectively, surpassing 2008 Robeson upper bound.

The highly cross-linked epoxy cured network suffers from the brittle nature and poor elongation, which hinders many potential applications. In this study, a biology-based cardanol NC-514S-modified polyether amine D230 was synthesized and used as an epoxy hardener (NC-D230). The effects of NC-514S content on the mechanical and thermal properties of the prepared samples were investigated. At the same time, we used cyclic stretching to further characterize its mechanical strength, and characterized the curing agent before and after modification through SEM and FTIR. Mechanical tests on the samples showed that the increase of NC-514S content results in lower tensile strength and Young’s modulus but an increase in elongation-at-breaks. DSC and TGA analyses showed a decreasing trend of glass transition temperature with the addition of NC-514S. Typically, the epoxy thermoset without/with 75% (by wt) NC-514S-modified D230 decreased tensile strength from 61.7 to 17.74 MPa, and Young’s modulus from 496 to 11.56 MPa. It increased elongation from 13.43% to 97.97%, and decreased glass temperature from 87.5 to 51.9 °C by DSC and 87.8 to 54.7 °C by DMA, respectively. This novel bio-based renewable cashew phenol-modified polyetheramine may provide an ideal candidate for toughening an epoxy-based thermosetting materials. At the same time, it also provides a new way for the toughening of epoxy resin. Graphical abstract

In this study, the flotation behavior and adsorption mechanism of quartz flotation using poly (propylene glycol) bis (2-aminopropyl ether) (PEA) with different carbon chain lengths as collectors were studied. The mineral properties and adsorption mechanism were analyzed using XRD, ICP-OES, FTIR, and XPS tests. The results show that the water solubility of the collector is negatively related to the chain length. The insertion of the ether bonds (C─O─C) and the two amine groups (─NH 2 ) improve the water solubility of PEA. Their collection capacity is proportional to the chain length and the insertion of the ether bonds hardly affects their collection capacity. PEA is attached to the quartz surface mainly by electrostatic adsorption, and to a less extent by hydrogen bond adsorption. Based on the above results, PEA-D400 can be used as a collector to separate low-grade quartz into products of different purity levels.

The purity of quartz particles obtained by crushing the same quartz is different. Poly (propylene glycol) bis (2-aminopropyl ether) (PEA) was used to separate quartz sand particles of different purity by flotation . Through flotation experiments combined with XRD , ICP , FT-IR, and XPS , the collection performance and adsorption principle were studied. Froth flotation results demonstrate that particles with higher purity can be more readily floated. Batch flotation results indicate that the first froth product (F1) has the highest purity and its removal rates of Al, K and Na reached 84.6%, 80.7% and 84.1%. The total impurity content (Al, K, Na) of F1 (448 ppmw), F2 (579 ppmw) and F3 (972 ppmw) is lower than the Feed (2717.4 ppmw) and their mass proportion is greater than 25%. XPS analyses confirm that the impurities are mainly enriched on the fracture surface. Consequently, the crushing-classification mechanism and the PEA adsorption model have been proposed.

Separation and recovery of high-purity Si powder from kerf-loss Si slurry waste is a critical challenge for the photovoltaic industry. A green surfactant poly (propylene glycol) bis (2-aminopropyl ether) (PEA) was employed as a collector to facilitate the separation of Si and SiC from kerf-loss Si waste during flotation process. Single flotation tests of Si and SiC were conducted using 5 × 10 −6 mol/L PEA, respectively. The separation efficiencies of Si and SiC in conjunction with PEA adsorption mechanism were investigated. It was found that the maximum recoveries rate of SiC and Si were 90.59% (pH 9.00) and 80.93% (pH 1.96), respectively. Furthermore, the maximum Si grade was determined as 92.31% at pH 8.95 for the sinking part of the mixture generating excellent floatability and selectivity. Zeta potential measurements, FT-IR spectra, and XPS analyses demonstrated that PEA was present on the surface of Si and SiC through electrostatic and hydrogen-bond interactions. The adsorption mechanism was explained based on the results. This research provides an efficient and environmentally friendly route for the separation and recovery of high purity silicon from kerf-loss Si waste.

It is crucial for fractionating dye/salt mixture in dyeing wastewater treatment. Herein, a polyamide nanofiltration (NF) membrane (PEA-TMC) for high efficient dye desalination was prepared through polyether amine (PEA) and trimesoyl chloride interfacial polymerization. Due to the large molecular size and hydrophilicity of PEA, the resulting NF membrane possessed a relatively loose membrane structure and good hydrophilicity, which improved membrane water flux and dye desalination performance. The influences of PEA concentration and reaction time on the NF performance were systematically investigated. Under the optimal conditions, the membrane exhibited a high water flux of 66.4 L m -2 h −1 at low operating pressure (0.4 MPa), and showed a high methyl blue rejection (95.4%) and low NaCl rejection (16.4%) when nanofiltrated methyl blue/ NaCl mixture solution. Moreover, PEA-TMC membrane exhibited good stability in continuous operation and antifouling performance. These results disclosed the promising applications of PEA-TMC membrane in dye/salt separation process.

Polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSSs) can be utilized to prepare nanocomposites to improve their physical and mechanical properties significantly by physical interaction and chemical cross-linking. The purpose of this work is to prepare a kind of water-dispersive POSS containing multiple epoxy groups and then use it to prepare gelatin/POSS nanocomposites to enhance their thermal and mechanical properties. Accordingly, 3-glycidyloxypropyl-POSS (G-POSS) was synthesized by a complete hydrolysis and condensation method. Then, G-POSS was modified with polyetheramine to obtain a derivative material of POSS, denoted as P-G-POSS, which possess better water dispersion and flexibility. Importantly, the chemical structure of both G-POSS and P-G-POSS was confirmed by FT-IR, NMR, XPS and EDS analyses. Subsequently, POSS/gelatin nanocomposites were prepared in accordance with 1:1, 2:1 and 3:1 of epoxy/amino mole ratios in alkaline aqueous medium. The microscope porous structure, thermal stability, mechanical properties, along with water absorption of the composites containing various contents of P-G-POSS, were emphatically studied and discussed. The results indicated that composites possessed the maximum denaturation temperature up to 80.1 °C, as well as the increased initial decomposition temperature and residual mass at 700 °C, and particularly improved mechanical properties after incorporation of P-G-POSS into gelatin matrix. The reason is likely that the cross-linking reaction of epoxy groups in P-G-POSS with amino groups in gelatin macromolecules, along with hydrogen bonding, played an important role in the as-prepared gelatin/POSS composites. This study would be helpful to promote the application of POSSs in bone tissue regeneration and leather cleaner production.

To improve the reactivity and compatibility of lignin, it was first functionalized via the method of epoxidation. The epoxidized lignin (LEP) modified epoxy resin with good mechanical and shape memory performance was fabricated ingeniously by introducing the LEP into the epoxy resin homogeneously with the aid of synergistic dispersion and crosslinking of polyetheramine without using organic solvents. The effect of LEP addition on the curing reaction, thermal, mechanical, and shape memory performance of epoxy resin were intensively evaluated. The epoxy-diamine curing reaction was promoted by the LEP incorporation, and the thermal stability and mechanical performance of epoxy resin were improved. The tensile strength and modulus of the LEP-modified epoxy were increased by 14.3% and 32.5%, respectively. Such reinforcing effect of LEP on the thermal and mechanical performance was contributed to the rigid LEP chains which were chemically crosslinked into the network of epoxy resin uniformly. Also, the rigid LEP component in the cured epoxy resin inhibited the movement of chain segments, which could enhance the mechanical stability and slow down the rapid shape recovery rate of the epoxy resin network to some extent.

The increasing complexity of electromagnetic environments demands the development of advanced absorbers with superior performance. In this study, a novel magnetic Fe3O4-modified graphene-based absorber (FARGO) is synthesized via an in situ reduction process using polyether amine. The resulting FARGO composite exhibits excellent microwave absorption properties. When the filling content of FARGO is 5 wt% in epoxy resin, the optimal reflection loss is −23.12 dB with a thickness of 4 mm and a broad absorption bandwidth of 5.6 GHz can be achieved as the thickness changes to 2 mm. Polyether amine efficiently reduces GO to rGO, significantly improving electrical conductivity. Simultaneously, it grafts amine groups onto the graphene surface, enhancing dispersion and reactivity within the epoxy resin matrix. These synergistic effects make it a promising candidate for high-performance microwave absorbing materials.

Given the widespread use of wood-based materials and that these materials are often damaged, an abundance of materials have been developed to repair and restore wood. Most of these materials treat the binder and filler as a single system; however, there is yet to be a system that has all the desired properties of an ideal wood-repair composite. Aiming for the goal of creating an ideal wood filler, this study proposed a wood-repair composite that combined epoxy resins, polyether amines, and poplar wood fibers. The materials were selected to mimic the hydrophobicity of lotus leaves and the strong adhesion of mussel proteins. The properties of the designed wood composites were characterized by various testing methods. The prepared fillers were then used to repair damaged poplar wood panels. The mechanical properties of the wood sample repaired with the optimal filler formulation reached 97% of those of the undamaged wood. In summary, the wood composites proposed in this study present a new means of repairing wooden relics, exposed outdoor wooden buildings, and household panels.

Carbon dots (CDs) have attracted great attention in recent years owing to their potential applications in such as photocatalysts, organic synthesis, and bioimaging. However, it is always difficult for the separation and recycling of carbon dots from homogeneous reaction systems, which may limit their application in catalysis. A stimuli-responsive phase transfer of CDs is promising to solve these problems. In this work, we developed a novel class of CO2-responsive carbon dots decorated with different molecular weight polyetheramines (PEAs) (Mn = 230, 400, 2000 g/mol, respectively) and investigated their phase transfer behavior. It was found that PEA230-CD were well able to reversibly transfer between water and organic solvents by alternative bubbling and removal of CO2, the phase transfer efficiency of PEA400-CD was about 40%, and PEA2000-CD cannot transfer. The mechanism of the CO2-switched phase transfer involves the reversible reaction of PEA-functionalized CDs with CO2 and reversible formation of hydrophilic bicarbonates salts. As an example of applications, the phase transfer strategy was successfully applied in a Henry reaction by using the CDs as catalysts for efficient homogeneous catalysis, heterogeneous separation, and recycling of the CDs.
