In a previous work, the binary mixture of polyethylene glycol 200 (PEG) and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) was used as a promising medium for absorption of SO 2 ( J. Chem. Eng. Data 2015 , 60 , 2135). As a continuation of the previous study, the solubility data of dilute SO 2 in the binary mixture of PEG + DMSO were measured by isothermal gas-liquid equilibrium experiments at 298.15 K and 122.66 kPa with SO 2 partial pressure below 128 Pa in the gas phase. The solubility of SO 2 decreased gradually with increasing mass fraction of PEG in the mixtures. We found that the absorption process, which obeyed Henry's law within the given experimental conditions, was physical absorption , and Henry's constants were further calculated from solubility data. Furthermore, to obtain important information about the absorption mechanism, the inter-molecular interactions among SO 2 , PEG, and DMSO were investigated by UV, FTIR, and 1 H NMR spectroscopic techniques. Spectral results showed that the interactions among SO 2 , PEG, and DMSO were resulted from both intermolecular hydrogen bonding and the O → S charge-transfer interaction.

Poly(ether urethane)s (PEU), including PEUI15 and PEUH15, were prepared through chain-extension reaction of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG-1500) using diisocyanate as a chain extender, including isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) and hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI). These PEUs were used to toughen polylactide (PLA) by physical and reactive blending. Thermal, morphological, mechanical and aging properties of the blends were investigated in detail. These PEUs were partially compatible with PLA. The elongation at break of the reactive blends in the presence of triphenyl phosphate (TPP) for PLA with PEUH15 or PEUI15 was much higher than that of the physical blends. The aging test was carried out at -20 °C for 50 h in order to accelerate the crystallization of PEUs. The PEUs in the PLA/PEU blends produced crystallization and formed new phase separation with PLA, resulting in the declined toughness of blends. Fortunately, under the aging condition, although PEUH15 in blends could also form crystallization, the reactive blend of PLA/PEUH15/TPP(80/20/2) had higher toughness than the other blends. The elongation at break of PLA/PEUH15/TPP(80/20/2) dropped to 287% for the aging blend from 350% for the original blend. The tensile strength and modulus of PLA/PEUH15/TPP blend did not change obviously because of the crystallization of PEUH15.

In this paper, a novel form-stable phase change material (FSPCM) of cross-linked poly(acrylonitrile-co-itaconate) (P(AN-co-IA))/polyethylene glycol (PEG) blend was prepared successfully. And it was systematically characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), polarized optical microscopy (POM), Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Thermal gravity analysis (TGA). FTIR analysis indicates that the cross-linked network has been synthesized. The DSC results show that the cross-linked FSPCM owns excellent phase change properties. The phase change temperatures and latent heats of the cross-linked FSPCM are in the range of 29–53 °C and 56.98–97.46 J/g, respectively. The TGA manifest that the cross-linked FSPCM appears good thermal stability and a broad processing temperature range.

A series of novel biodegradable polyurethanes (PELU) based on poly(ethylene glycol)- b -polylactide copolymers were prepared by chain extension with isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI). The PELUs were used to toughen polylactide (PLA) by melt blending. The results of DSC and SEM uniformly indicated that the PELUs were partially compatible with PLA and the PLA segments in PELU could effectively improve the compatibility between PLA and PELU. PELU as a plasticizer could significantly improve the toughness of PLA materials and remain their high strength and modulus. When the PELU content was 10–20 wt%, the elongation at break of PLA/PELU-40/ADR (0.4 wt%) and PLA/PELU-50/ADR (0.4 wt%) reached up to 250%–350%. When the PELU content was 20 wt%, the tensile strength and modulus of PLA blends containing PELU-30, PELU-40 and PELU-50 maintained 35–38 MPa and 1300–1500 MPa, respectively. The moisture absorption of the PLA materials enhanced because of blending with PELU containing PEG segments, but the hydrolytic degradation property of PLA materials was little affected by this.

A new LCST-type thermoresponsive polyelectrolyte P[P4,4,4,4][SS], poly(tetrabutyl phosphonium styrene sulfonate), was introduced to PMEO2MA (poly(2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethyl methacrylate)) via RAFT polymerization, in order to explore the transition behavior of the block copolymer PMEO2MA-b-P[P4,4,4,4][SS] with two distinct LCST-type segments. A relatively sharp LCST-type phase transition with only one transition point is observed in the turbidity curves, while the whole phase transition is completely different from the micro perspective. The phase transition temperature range is relatively broad, according to the unsynchronized changes of different protons of the two blocks in the temperature-variable 1H NMR analysis. From PCMW analysis, it is found that there exists an obvious two-step phase transition behavior, especially in the region of the C–H groups. Accordingly, we divided the whole transition process into two subregions: 20–40 °C and 40–55 °C in 2Dcos analysis. At the first stage of 20–40 °C, the CH3 groups mainly belonging to the backbones of PMEO2MA blocks have the earliest response to the heating and drive the first step of the dehydration process of PMEO2MA-b-P[P4,4,4,4][SS], resulting in the formation of an intermediate micelle state composed of the collapsed PMEO2MA core and hydrophilic P[P4,4,4,4][SS] corona. In particular, the conformational changes and the more compact structures due to the interaction between the CO groups and P[P4,4,4,4][SS] segments (ν(CO⋯D2O-PILs)) were observed using IR analysis. With the continual increase of the temperature, when the second temperature range of 40–55 °C is reached, the P[P4,4,4,4][SS] segments start to collapse and expel the water molecules, driven by the anions of the poly(ionic liquid)s, with the phosphonium cations being distributed over the relatively hydrophilic outside.

Comfort regulation and inhibition of bacterial adhesion to textiles is realized by cross-linking thermoresponsive random copolymer to the cotton fabrics. By introduction of ethylene glycol methacrylate (EGMA) monomers into n-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) with a molar ratio of 2:18, the obtained random copolymer poly(n-isopropylacrylamide-co-ethylene glycol methacrylate), abbreviated as P(NIPAM-co-EGMA), presents a transition temperature (TT) of 40 °C in an aqueous solution with a concentration of 1 mg/mL. Because of the additional EGMA in the copolymer, the obtained P(NIPAM-co-EGMA) shows a glass transition temperature (Tg) of 0 °C, which is much lower than that of pure PNIPAM (Tg = 140 °C). Therefore, the introduction of P(NIPAM-co-EGMA) into the cotton fabrics will have little influence on the softness of the fabrics. Due to the cross-linked P(NIPAM-co-EGMA) layer on the cotton fabrics, the porosity of the polymer layer can be adjusted by varying the external temperature below or above TT, showing that regulation of the air and moisture permeability as well as the body comfort are feasible in the cotton fabrics cross-linked with P(NIPAM-co-EGMA). In addition, the cross-linked P(NIPAM-co-EGMA) layer is capable of absorbing moisture in the ambient atmosphere to form a hydrated layer on top, which can inhibit bacterial adhesion to the textiles.

In the study, a new approach for synthesizing biomedical segmented polyurethanes (SPUs) based on polyethylene glycol (PEG, Mn = 800), poly(ε-caprolactone-co-D,L-lactide) (PCLA) and aliphatic diurethane diisocyanates with a long uniform hard segment was developed. By the chain extension of a mixture of PEG diol and PCLA diol with diurethane diisocyanates based on inexpensive 1,6-hexanediisocyanate, three SPUs (SPU-I, SPU-II, and SPU-III) with different contents of hydrophilic segments (PEG) and hard segments were obtained. The chemical structures of diurethane diisocyanates, PCLA and SPUs were confirmed by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, FT-IR, HR-TOF-MS, and GPC. The SPU films exhibited similar thermostability, indicating that the hard segment content marginally affects on the thermostability. From the results of differential scanning calorimetry, two glass transition temperatures were observed, suggesting the microphase separation of soft and hard segments. The SPU films exhibited satisfactory mechanical properties with ultimate stress of 17.4–22.3 MPa and strain at break of 890–1060%, and the initial modulus increased with the increasing content of hard segments. In vitro degradation studies indicated that the time of SPU films to become fragments was 22–33 days, and the degradation rate increased with the increasing content of hydrophilic segments in SPU. Hence, the degradation time of SPU films could be controlled by adjusting the PEG content in SPU, which made them good candidates for further biomedical applications. Studies of in vitro drug release were conducted using vitamin B1 as model drugs. Drug-loaded films exhibited a high initial release rate and matrix-controlled release for more than two weeks, thereby demonstrating a promising material for a long-acting controlled release system. Cytotoxicity test of film extracts and cell attachment on the film surface were conducted using L929 mouse fibroblasts, and the results indicated that the SPU films possess excellent cytocompatibility and cell adhesive ability.

Pegylation method is widely used to prolong the blood circulation time of proteins and nanoparticles after intravenous administration, but the effect of surface poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) chain length on oral absorption of the pegylated nanoparticles is poorly reported. The aim of our study was to investigate the influence of PEG corona chain length on membrane permeability and oral bioavailability of the amphiphilic pegylated prodrug-based nanomicelles, taking all trans -retinoic acid (ATRA) as a model drug. The amphiphilic ATRA-PEG conjugates were synthesized by esterification reaction between all trans -retinoic acid and mPEGs (mPEG500, mPEG1000, mPEG2000, and mPEG5000). The conjugates could self-assemble in aqueous medium to form nanomicelles by emulsion-solvent evaporation method. The resultant nanomicelles were in spherical shape with an average diameter of 13–20 nm. The drug loading efficiency of ATRA-PEG500, ATRA-PEG1000, ATRA-PEG2000, and ATRA-PEG5000 was about 38.4, 26.6, 13.1, and 5.68 wt%, respectively. With PEG chain length ranging from 500 to 5000, ATRA-PEG nanomicelles exhibited a bell shape of chemical stability in different pH buffers, intestinal homogenate and plasma. More importantly, they were all rapidly hydrolyzed into the parent drug in hepatic homogenate, with the half-time values being 0.3–0.4 h. In comparison to ATRA solution and ATRA prodrug-based nanomicelles, ATRA-PEG1000 showed the highest intestinal permeability. After oral administration, ATRA-PEG2000 and ATRA-PEG5000 nanomicelles were not nearly absorbed, while the oral bioavailability of ATRA-PEG500 and ATRA-PEG1000 demonstrated about 1.2- and 2.0-fold higher than ATRA solution. Our results indicated that PEG1000 chain length of ATRA-PEG prodrug nanomicelles has the optimal oral bioavailability probably due to improved stability and balanced mucus penetration capability and cell binding, and that the PEG chain length on a surface of nanoparticles cannot exceed a key threshold with the purpose of enhancement in oral bioavailability.

Compared with traditional liquid electrolytes, solid polymer electrolytes possess higher reliability and safety but much lower ionic conductivity, which can be improved by incorporating plasticizers to form gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs). However, the commonly employed plasticizers are flammable organic solvents which may cause safety issues. Herein, ionic liquid 1-bultyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([Bmim]BF4) is selected as the plasticizer to fabricate inflammable GPE due to its non-volatility and inflammability. The solid matrix is co-polymerized from methoxy-poly(ethylene glycol) methacrylate (MPEGM) and hexadecyl-poly(ethylene glycol) methacrylate (HPEGM). The effect of the electrolyte composition on its properties is systematically studied. The synthesized GPEs possess excellent thermal stability and exhibit relatively high ionic conductivity, among which the one named as PMH12-60, composed of 32 wt% MPEGM, 8 wt% HPEGM and 60 wt% [Bmim]BF4, presents an ionic conductivity comparable to liquid electrolytes, up to 1.13 × 10−3 S cm−1 at 30 °C. In addition, the GPE shows good compatibility with metallic lithium. Furthermore, the coin cell based on PMH12-60, with a LiFePO4 cathode and a lithium anode shows a discharge capacity as high as 145 mA h g−1 and 158 mA h g−1 when cycled at 30 °C and 50 °C, respectively, under the cycling rate of 0.1 C. Moreover, no obvious capacity loss is observed after 30 cycles at both temperatures.

It has become widely acknowledged that certain underwater cultural relics, in a state of severe decay, should be salvaged for further protection. Underwater temporary reinforcement materials provide the possibility for such protection. These materials can achieve both the reinforcement of cultural relics underwater, as well as their reversible removal after extraction, without causing damage to the cultural relics in either process. In this context, two kinds of hydrogels based on polyethylene glycol-derived polymers were developed in this study. They are denser than water and can undergo gelatinization by UV-induced or oxidant-induced reactions in the underwater environment. Additionally, they possess enough mechanical strength to provide the necessary support in the bonding process. Both hydrogels have been successfully used to extract fragile underwater archaeological wooden artifacts in situ under laboratory conditions. The experimental results revealed that, in the case of UV-induced hydrogels, the compression strength was 115 kPa with a tensile strength of 20 kPa. For oxidant-induced hydrogels, the compression strength was 382 kPa, while the tensile strength was 8.2 kPa. During the actual extraction processes, the UV-induced hydrogel exhibited a lower water absorption ratio, maintained a more stable mechanical property underwater, and was easier to remove after extraction. On the other hand, the oxidant-induced hydrogel could complete the gelation process quickly through a rather convenient operation; however, it tended to absorb surrounding water and swell, thereby reducing its mechanical property. These two methods would be adapted to different underwater archaeological sites as convenient, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective novel methods for extracting fragile underwater wooden relics.

Improving pretreatment efficiency is a critical premise in achieving efficient biomass conversion, and obtaining high-performance natural polymers is the guarantee of high-value conversion of biomass. In this study, a new pilot-scale continuous countercurrent pretreatment reaction unit about ethylene glycol-alkali solution was designed for pretreating sugarcane bagasse in order to achieve efficient separation of the three major components of lignocellulose when expanding the scale of pretreatment, reduce lignin deposition on the fiber surface, and obtain highly active lignin and excellent enzymatic hydrolysis efficiency of cellulose. X-ray diffractometer (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS), brunauer-emmett-teller (BET) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) methods are used to analyze the structural properties of sugarcane bagasse before and after pretreatment, and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is used to analyze the monosaccharide components in the enzymatic solution. In addition, the structural properties of the recovered lignin are analyzed by gel permeation chromatography (GPC), 31 P NMR and 2D-HSQC-NMR methods. The results indicate that the system can gain a high cellulose recovery of 92.99% along with a lignin removal of 95.33%, and recovered lignin has low lignin carbohydrate complexes, low condensation, and rich in phenolic hydroxyl groups for 1.95 mmol/g. Meanwhile, the countercurrent pretreatment system can effectively reduce the deposition of lignin on the cellulose surface, which is evidently superior to the non-countercurrent pretreatment and facilitates the efficiency of enzymatic saccharification of substrate, achieving a high glucose yield of 99% as well as a total sugar yield of 91.11%. The method efficiently separates biomass in a green manner, and solid residues are easily hydrolyzed, showing potential for industrial-scale production.

Achieving both low solid content and printability for cellulose nanofiber inks remains challenging. In this study, mild hydroxyl-yne click chemistry was used to chemically crosslink dipropiolate ester of polyethylene glycol (DA-PEG) with 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidinyloxy (TEMPO) oxidized cellulose nanofibers (TOCN), forming TOCN-PEG (TP) inks. This crosslinking network allowed for effective viscosity control, with TP ink viscosity increasing by 128.5 % upon PEG addition. As a result, direct ink writing (DIW) 3D printing of TOCN was feasible at low concentrations (1.0–2.0 wt%). The printed TP hydrogel scaffolds exhibited high mechanical strength, bearing loads over 500 times their weight, and fluorescence due to conjugated double bonds and carbonyl groups. Additionally, cell viability rates exceeded 96 % at 24 h and 93 % at 48 h, indicating non-cytotoxicity (viability >80 %). Thus, the easily customizable TP inks prepared via hydroxyl-yne click chemistry hold promise for various applications, especially in 3D-printed bio-cellular scaffolds.
