Silica-gelatin hybrids, particularly GT-G hybrids prepared by crosslinking gelatin (G) with γ-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GT), have attracted much attention in tissue engineering for diverse applications in hard or soft tissue regeneration; however, scaffolds with tunable properties are needed to meet specific requirements. In this work, a silica-gelatin hybrid (ES/GT-G) was synthesized by incorporating epoxy-terminated polydimethylsiloxane oligomer (ES) to modulate the properties of GT-G hybrid. The ES/GT-G hybrid sponge presented a 3D network structure with porosity 86.4% ± 0.9%, determined by the liquid displacement method, and average pore size 340 ± 36 μm, determined by SEM observation. Compared with GT-G hybrid material, the prepared ES/GT-G hybrid wet film showed a decrease of tensile strength from 2.79 ± 0.04 MPa to 1.87 ± 0.12 MPa, with an increase of elongation at break from 19.96 ± 0.66% to 29.86 ± 0.87%, and the ES/GT-G hybrid sponge exhibited a decline of compressive yield strength from 1.21 ± 0.04 MPa to 0.72 ± 0.06 MPa, based on the tensile and compression tests respectively. The introduction of ES enhanced the thermal denaturing temperature of GT-G by 5°C as determined by a DSC study, and increased in vitro biodegradation slightly, without significantly changing surface wettability and swelling behavior. These findings suggest that silica-gelatin hybrids with tunable properties are promising for applications from hard to soft tissue regeneration. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.

A simple and environmental friendly oxoacetohydrazide functionalization method is developed to convert the straw cellulose into high performance adsorbents for effective Pb(II) removal. The adsorption experimental results demonstrated that the resultant oxoacetohydrazide-modified cellulose (OMC) possesses a dramatically improved Pb(II) adsorption capacity (82.9 mg/g), which is over six times of that for the unmodified celluloses (13.6 mg/g). The mechanistic studies confirm that the markedly enhanced Pb(II) adsorption capability of OMC can be attributed to the formation of N-Pb-N bonds resulting from the strong chelating interactions of Pb(II) with oxoacetohydrazide. Also, the OMC shows an excellent reusability, capable of retain 95% of its original Pb(II) adsorption capacity after three consecutive adsorption cycles. The findings of this work pave a way to transform the agricultural byproducts into high performance functional materials. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2016 , 133 , 42950.

An amino-functionalized nano-adsorbent (DETA-MNPs) was prepared by a process involving: (1) synthesis of superparamagnetic Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles; (2) introduction of amino groups after which ATRP initiator was anchored; (3) grafting of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) via SI-ATRP; and (4) ring-opening reaction of epoxy groups with diethylenetriamine (DETA). The nano-adsorbent was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM), and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and applied to remove Cu(II) in batch experiments. The effects of pH, Cu(II) concentrations, solution ionic strength, and contact time were investigated. The results show that the DETA-MNPs are spherical with cubic spine structure, high saturation magnetization (41.9 emu g −1 ), and an average diameter of 10 nm. The maximum Cu(II) adsorption capacity achieves 83.33 mg g −1 at pH 5.0 by Langmuir model. The adsorption process is highly pH-dependent and reaches equilibrium within 20 min. Furthermore, the DETA-MNPs exhibit excellent dispersibility and reusability. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2016 , 132 , 42859.

This work focuses on largely toughening poly(lactic acid)/thermoplastic polyurethane (PLA/TPU) blend with lower content (20 wt %) of TPU using appropriate contents of 4,4-methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) via simple melt blending. Both scanning electron micrographs and differential scanning calorimetry curves suggest little change of the compatibility between the PLA and TPU phases by adding the MDI. Dynamic rheological test demonstrates that a reaction occurs between the TPU phase and MDI during melt blending. Combining the rheological behaviors and gel contents of the blends, it can be speculated that adding the MDI extends the TPU chains and forms branched and crosslinked structure in the TPU chains sequentially. Toughening mechanism is analyzed and different impact strengths for the blends with different MDI contents are explained based on combined effects of the decreased crystallinities for the PLA matrix and the extended, branched and crosslinked structure in the TPU chains. A 0.8 wt % MDI content is optimal in terms of the impact strength (100.6 kJ/m 2 ) and the elongation at break (392.4%). The former is about 1.9 and 32.5 times of that for the blend without MDI and the PLA, respectively. Moreover, the MDI results in some increase in the tensile strength of the blends. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2015 , 132 , 42511.

We report a facile method to synthesize hollow silica microtubes (SMTs) from electrospun cellulose acetate fiber precursors. Specific surface areas of up to 765 m 2 /g (Brunauer–Emmett–Teller) were measured for the SMTs, which had a typical wall thickness of ∼100 nm and submicron inner diameters. An average pore size of 4.6 nm and pore volume of 0.41 cm 3 /g were derived from Barrett–Joyner–Halenda fitting, whereas Horvath–Kawazoe pore size distribution analysis revealed microporous median pore size and maximum pore volume of 0.7 nm and 0.18 cm 3 /g, respectively. The as-prepared SMTs featuring micro- and mesoporous structures in the walls where amino-functionalized to facilitate a very high drug loading (15% by weight). Drug release profile revealed sustained release rates (79% of acetylsalicylic acid was released after 6 h). It is concluded that the high drug loading and sustained release resulted from the advantageous integration of SMTs' hollow structure and wall mesoporosity. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl.

A novel electrochemical sensor based on Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs) decorated polyaniline/graphene composites (PANI/G) is developed, which can be used for sensitive determination of H 2 O 2 . For the construction of the H 2 O 2 sensor, polyaniline (PANI) is first electrodeposited on the surface of graphene (G) to form PANI/G, and then horseradish peroxidase (HRP) loaded on AgNPs (HRP/AgNPs) is immobilized on to the PANI/G. H 2 O 2 can be catalyzed by HRP to generate current response which can be significantly enhanced by AgNPs, and thus the PANI/G based sensor can be utilized for the detection of H 2 O 2 . Under the optimized conditions, the proposed H 2 O 2 sensor exhibits wide linear response to H 2 O 2 concentration ranging from 0.25 to 2.25 m M with a detection limit of 0.03 m M (signal-to-noise ratio of 3), and it also shows high selectivity and reproducibility. The method is simple and cost-effective, and can be a promising candidate as the sensitive sensing platform for H 2 O 2 . © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2015 , 132 , 42409.

Protein-imprinted polyurethane-grafted calcium alginate hydrogel microspheres were prepared and characterized. The samples were investigated with optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, 13 C-NMR, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. We proved that polyurethane side chains were successfully grafted, and this led to a relatively rough and dense surface. The samples exhibited better swelling durability when applied in specific adsorption tests. The adsorption kinetic and recognition properties indicated that the imprinted modified microspheres had excellent rebinding affinity toward the target proteins. Moreover, the influence of the preassembly pH, rebinding pH, and grafting ratio on the adsorption capacity and imprinting efficiency (IE) were systematically investigated. The study results suggest that the modified samples possessed a higher IE toward the target protein under the optimum pH and grafting ratio. Upon polyurethane grafting modification, the alginate hydrogel microspheres showed improved mechanical stability and recognition specificity. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.

In this article, we present a simple method for synthesizing antibacterial cellulose fibers that were modified with a cationic polymer and immobilized silver chloride (AgCl) particles. Relatively simple techniques of graft polymerization and onsite precipitation were used to fabricate the composites. Scanning electron microscopy images, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy confirmed the immobilization of the AgCl particles. The observed inhibition zone of the immobilized AgCl particle composites indicated that the biocidal silver ions were released from the composites in aqueous solution. Compared with cationic-polymer-grafted cellulose fibers or AgCl alone, the cationic polymer/AgCl composites showed excellent antibacterial activity against Gram-negative Escherichia coli and Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus . © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A novel flame-retardant composite was prepared by introducing a phosphorus-nitrogen flame retardant and DOPO-SiO 2 into PA6. DOPO-SiO 2 was synthesized successfully in a one-step process. PA6/OP1314/DOPO-SiO 2 achieved a UL 94 V-0 rating with an LOI value of 31%. The maximum mass loss rate of decomposition decreased significantly and char residue increased to 11.6 wt % compared with that of pure PA6. The compacted and dense char was formed due to the combination of the P-N flame retardant and DOPO-SiO 2 . The complex viscosity of PA6/OP1314/DOPO-SiO 2 increased considerably which tend to prevent the dripping phenomenon. The flame-retardant mechanism of PA6/OP1314/DOPO-SiO 2 was also investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy FTIR at different temperatures and the pyrolysis products were investigated by pyrolysis gas chromatography/ mass spectrum (Py-GC/MS). It was assumed that DOPO-SiO 2 and the hypophosphite of OP1314 possess excellent flame retardancy during the gaseous phase. Meanwhile, melamine and phosphate reacted with the pyrolytic products of PA6 to protect the matrix during the condensed phase. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2016 , 133 , 42932.

Thermoplastic polycarbonate modified polyether-polyurethane (PEPU) elastomers were prepared by transurethane polycondensation method using poly(oxytetramethylene) glycol of M n = 2000 and dimethyl-hexane-1,6-dicarbamate as the main raw materials, 1,4-butanediol as a chain extender and polycarbonate diol (PCDL) as an additive in the presence of dibutyltin oxide as a catalyst. The effect of the PCDL on the PEPUs' structure, intrinsic viscosity, molecular weight, mechanical, optical, and thermal properties, and water resistance were studied. The polycarbonate modified PEPUs showed better mechanical and thermal properties, but lower molecular weight and optical properties than the PEPUs. The PEPUs modified by PCDL1000 exhibited better performance, including mechanical, optical, and thermal properties, than those by PCDL2000. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.

In this work, novel thermoresponsive shape memory composites based on glass fiber and nanosilica-modified liquid crystalline epoxies (LCEs) with lateral substituent were prepared and characterized. According to the comprehensive analysis of polarized optical microscopy, wide-angle X-ray diffraction measurements, and tan δ data, the orientation of mesogen units were hindered by the introduction of nanosilica and lateral substituents of liquid crystalline epoxies, so that additional physical cross-links except for similar chemical cross-links emerged with the introduction of surface-treated nanosilica. And the increased cross-links could enhance the shape memory properties of the composites which could recover to their original state quickly in a time shorter than 30 s with high shape fixing ratios (>96%) and high shape recovery ratios (>98%), which indicated the composites could be applied into self-deployable structural materials. Moreover, the reinforcement in the dynamic storage moduli, tensile modulus, and the tensile strength and shape memory properties indicated that glass fiber and nanosilica-modified shape memory liquid crystalline epoxy composites could be high-performance composites and could be used as new candidates for aerospace smart materials. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

PEGylated chitosans with different degrees of grafting were synthesized, and the application potential of microspheres based on PEGylated chitosan as mucoadhesive drug-delivery carriers for puerarin was investigated. Compared with chitosan microspheres, PEGylated chitosan microspheres (PCMs) exhibited better physical stability and higher swelling capacity, and the amount of water uptake increased as the content of poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether in the microspheres increased. PCMs showed obviously improved mucoadhesive behavior on a mucosa-like surface. Puerarin was incorporated into the microspheres, and the release experiments in vitro showed that the PEGylation of chitosan accelerated puerarin release from the particles and decreased the retention of the drug. The abilities of all of the tested microspheres to open tight junctions and improve the permeability of puerarin were demonstrated with a Caco-2 cell monolayer as an in vitro model. The amount of puerarin permeating across the Caco-2 cell monolayer was significantly increased by the incorporation of puerarin into the PCMs. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.
