Water-soluble hyperbranched polyester (WHBP) was synthesized through the esterification reaction of the fourth generation hyperbranched polyester and maleic anhydride. A novel cross-linked WHBP/PVA membrane was prepared by adding WHBP into poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) solution with glutaraldehyde as the cross-linker. WHBP was characterized by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance and Attenuated Total Reflection Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), while WHBP/PVA membranes were characterized by ATR-FTIR, X-ray Diffraction, Scanning Electron Microscopy, Thermogravimetric Analysis, mechanical capacity, and water contact angle. Testing results showed that maleic anhydride was grafted on the surface of WHBP; compared with PVA membrane, WHBP/PVA membrane had lower crystallinity, weaker mechanical strength, higher hydrophilicity, and better thermal stability. Sorption and diffusion behaviors of n -butanol and water in WHBP/PVA membrane were investigated; pervaporation performances of WHBP/PVA membrane were studied through the dehydration of the 90 wt % n -butanol aqueous solution at 40°C. With an increase of the WHBP content from 0 to 30 wt %, both n -butanol uptake and n -butanol diffusion coefficient first decreased then increased; n -butanol flux first decreased from 10 to 2 g·m −2 ·h −1 then increased to 213 g·m −2 ·h −1 ; both sorption selectivity and diffusion selectivity first increased then decreased; separation factor first increased from 88 to 1309 then decreased to 16. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

In this article, we detail the sonication-induced self-assembly of polymeric porphyrin and fullerenes into distinct nanorings in solution form. The formation of these trenchant superstructures was the result of the delicate choice of different assembly protocols, solvents, and polymeric tails associated with porphyrin and fullerene. In this study, the sonication supposedly directed the lateral aggregation into uniform ring formation. The sonication time was found to be the key parameter in ring formation. Furthermore, the flexibility of polymeric arms and electronic interactions of porphyrin–fullerene gave rise to synergistically enhanced molecular interactions, and this resulted in discrete morphologies. Key optical data, including the absorption maxima of the complexes, and microscopic studies attested to the nature and morphology of the self-assembled complexes. This introduction of polymeric arms and sonication protocols in the porphyrin self-assembly was expected to allow the easy formation of diverse morphologies. Because of the facile fabrication process and uniform morphology, the resulting composite architectures might show promising applications in drug-delivery and advance materials. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The use of glass fibers (GFs), molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 ), and talc was evaluated to reinforce polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) for potential applications in automobile shock absorber pistons. The orthogonal experiment results show that the optimal GF/MoS 2 /talc/PTFE weight ratio was 2:3:3:92 for the PTFE composite; this ratio resulted in better mechanical properties, hardness, low linear expansion, and wear rate. Chemical coupling and high-temperature activation treatment on the surface of GF greatly enhanced the interfacial adhesion between the PTFE matrix and GF, as revealed by atomic force microscopy analysis. This resulted in reductions in the wear rate and linear expansion coefficient by two orders of magnitude compared with that of PTFE. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.

An antifouling surface is highly desirable for many biomedical applications. In this study, poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) films were endowed with the improved properties of resisting nonspecific protein adsorption and platelet adhesion simply through being coated with a kind of mixed-charge zwitterionic polymer, poly(3-sulfopropyl methacrylate–methacrylatoethyl trimethyl ammonium chloride–glycidyl methacrylate) (PSTG), with random moieties of negatively charged 3-sulfopropyl methacrylate potassium, positively charged [2-(methacryloyloxy)-ethyl] trimethylammonium chloride, and glycidyl methacrylate. The PSTG-grafted PVC films were formed by the simple immersion of an amino-functionalized PVC film into a PSTG solution. A grafting density of 220.84 µg/cm 2 of PSTG4-grafted PVC film was successfully obtained. The PSTG4-grafted PVC film showed a lower contact angle (37.5 °) than the ungrafted PVC film (98.3 °). The in vitro protein adsorption results show that the bovine serum albumin adsorption amount decreased 6.72 µg/cm 2 in the case of the PSTG4-grafted PVC film, whereas that on the ungrafted PVC film was 28.54 µg/cm 2 . So, PSTG-grafted PVC films could be promising materials for medical devices. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2017 , 134 , 44632.

In this study, the effects of the incorporation of microsized zinc oxide (ZnO) on multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)-reinforced palm-oil-based polyester (POPE) were investigated in terms of the UV absorbability, mechanical strength, thermal stability, surface resistivity, and morphology. POPE was prepared by alcoholysis and an esterification process with glycerol, palm oil, and phthalic anhydride. The MWCNTs were dispersed into POPE under in situ conditions during the esterification reaction, whereas ZnO was distributed into the MWCNT-filled POPE resin with an ultrasound technique. The surface morphology was examined to understand the dispersion of the fillers inside the polymer matrix with field emission scanning electron microscopy. In addition, UV absorbability was observed with a UV–visible spectrophotometer. From the results analysis, the surface resistivity was found to be unchanged by the presence of the ZnO particles. In addition, incorporation of ZnO improved the UV absorbability. Moreover, the tensile strength of the ZnO-based POPE was found to be slightly lower compared with that of the MWCNT-filled POPE. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.

Nonylphenol (NP), stannous octoate [Sn(Otc) 2 ], and a mixture of NP and Sn(Otc) 2 were employed for catalyzing cyanate ester resin. The curing reaction was studied by differential scanning calorimetry. A water-absorption test at 85 °C was utilized to study the resistance to warm and humid conditions. The thermal properties were evaluated through measuring thermal weight loss and the glass-transition temperature ( T g ), and the mechanical properties were evaluated through three-point bending tests and tensile tests. The results show that the mixture of NP and Sn(Otc) 2 exhibits the best catalytic efficiency by decreasing the exothermic peak temperature by almost 148 °C. The mixture of NP and Sn(Otc) 2 has unfavorable effects on the thermal stability. Nevertheless, all catalyst systems have good water-absorption resistance. The mechanical investigation confirms that the tensile properties show a little reduction that is due to the plasticization of the catalyst, while the excellent flexural properties are maintained. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A novel bio-based and flame-retardant UV-curable vinyl ester resin (VER) monomer named Diglycidyl ester of maleinized dipentene modified with dibutyphosphate and methacrylic anhydride (MDDMD) was synthesized from industrial dipentene via Diels-Alder reaction, glycidylation, epoxy ring-opening reaction, and esterification. Its chemical structures were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis and proton nuclear magnetic resonance ( 1 H-NMR). In order to improve its flexibility, we prepared a series of copolymers under UV light radiation by mixing it with certain proportions of poly(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylate-200 (PEGDMA-200) which contained flexible groups. Their tensile property, curing degrees (CD), hardness, limiting oxygen index (LOI), dynamic mechanical thermal properties, and thermostability were all investigated. The cured mixed resins have a relatively high tensile strength of 10.05 MPa and curing degrees up to 92.5%. Both hardness (range: 50 to 23 HD) and LOI (range: 22.8% to 24.4%) of cured resins are improved with the increase of MDDMD content. Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) shows that their glass transition temperatures rise with the increase of MDDMD content. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) shows that the thermal stability of cured resins is enhanced with the increase of PEGDMA-200 content, as the main thermal initial decomposition temperatures are all above 260 °C and char yield at 800 °C are above 18.10%. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The purpose of the present work was to develop a fragrance encapsulation system using polyacrylate/paraffin microcapsules. The Polyacrylate/paraffin microcapsules were fabricated by the method of suspension polymerization in Pickering emulsion. Morphology, size distribution, and thermal resistance of polyacrylate/paraffin microcapsules were investigated by scanning electron microscopy, light scattering particle size analyzer, and thermogravimetric analyzer. Results indicated that the crosslinked PMMA/paraffin microcapsules and P(MMA-co-BMA)/paraffin microcapsules prepared under optimal conditions presented regular spherical shape and similar size distribution. The crosslinked P(MMA-co-BMA)/paraffin microcapsules exhibited better thermal stability, with a thermal resistance temperature up to 184 °C. Fragrance microcapsules were prepared by encapsulating fragrance into crosslinked P(MMA-co-BMA)/paraffin microcapsules. The prolonged release performance of fragrance microcapsules was measured by ultraviolet-visible near-infrared spectrophotometer. 63.9% fragrance was retained after exposing fragrance microcapsules in air for 3 months, and the fragrance continued to release over 96 h in surfactant solution (sodium lauryl sulfonate, 20 wt %). © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Cationic polyacrylamides (CPAMs) synthesized by thermal, ultrasonic, microwave, and UV initiation were characterized through magnetic resonance hydrogen spectroscopy ( 1 H NMR), Fourier transform infrared spectra, scanning electron microscopy, and thermal gravimetric analysis. The CPAMs for flocculation and dewatering of alum sludge produced through drinking water treatment were evaluated based on the residual turbidity of the supernatant, dry solid content, mean volume diameter and floc size distribution, fractal dimension of the flocs, and zeta potential as a function of flocculant dosage. Comparisons of the characteristics and performance of CPAMs synthesized through different initiation methods were systematically conducted. Flocculation and dewatering test results demonstrated that CPAMs synthesized through microwave and UV initiation had better flocculation performance and dewatering capability than those synthesized through thermal and ultrasonic initiation. All four CPAMs exhibited a similar final floc size distribution but different mean volume diameters and floc structures. The fractal dimension of the flocs and the zeta potential were in the following order: CPAM3 (microwave initiation) > CPAM4 (UV initiation) > CPAM1 (thermal initiation) > CPAM2 (ultrasonic initiation). Discussions on fractal dimension and zeta potential indicated that the electrostatic patches model and adsorption/bridging effect mechanisms played the main role in the formation of sludge flocs. Lastly, microwave and UV initiation were found to be alternative and recommendable initiation methods for the synthesis of CPAMs with improved flocculation performance and sludge dewatering capability. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Diels–Alder (DA) reactions between furan and maleimide have been widely applied in thermally remendable polymeric materials. Crosslinked polyurethane with DA adducts exhibited much better mechanical properties than linear polyurethane with DA adducts. However, the highly crosslinked polyurethane needs a higher temperature and a longer healing time. This will increase the possibility of side reactions proceeding during the healing procedure. In this paper, slightly crosslinked polyurethane with DA adducts was synthesized by incorporating trimethylolpropane into linear polyurethane with DA adducts. The structure of the intermediate and final products was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, 1 H-NMR, and differential scanning calorimetry, confirming that the synthesizing process proceeded successfully. The images from the polarizing optical microscope demonstrated that the final product with slight crosslinking needed less time and a lower healing temperature to complete the healing procedure. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A novel dual-responsive (light and pH) particle based on poly(methacrylic acid), poly(methacrylic acid)–poly[1-(2-nitrophenyl)ethane-1,2-diyl bis(2-methylacrylate)]was prepared with the facile method of two-step homogeneous radical polymerization with methacrylic acid as the monomer and 1-(2-nitrophenyl)ethane-1,2-diyl bis(2-methylacrylate) as a photodegradable crosslinker. Photolytic assessments were conducted upon irradiation with a UV lamp; this led to particle disintegration caused by cleavage of the photolabile crosslinking points. The light-dependent degradation was investigated through particle size changes, absorption spectra variations, surface morphology changes, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and the release of Nile red from the particles after irradiation. The pH dependence of the particle systems induced by the protonation and deprotonation of poly(methacrylic acid) was also confirmed by fluorescence spectroscopy. The triggered release of fluorescein diacetate was investigated to demonstrate that the release behavior in cells was light dependent. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.

Zn–Al layered double hydroxide (LDH)-entrapped poly(ether sulfone) (PES) ultrafiltration membranes with four different weight percentages, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0%, were prepared by a phase-inversion method. Characterization by scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy and contact angle (CA), equilibrium water content, porosity, average pore size, mechanical strength, and ζ potential measurement were used to evaluate the morphological structure and physical and chemical properties of membranes. Static protein adsorption, filtration, and rejection experiments were conducted to study the antifouling properties, water permeability, and removal ability of the modified membranes. The results show that significant change occurred in the membrane morphology and that better hydrophilicity, water permeability, and antifouling ability were also achieved for the PES/LDH membranes when a proper amount of LDH was used. For example, the CA value decreased from 66.60 to 50.21°, and the pure water flux increased from 80.21 to 119.10 L m −2 h −1 bar −1 when the LDH loading was increased from 0 to 2.0 wt %. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
