A series of quaternary ammonium functionalized poly(arylene ether sulfone)/poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PAES-Q/PVP) composite membranes for separators and composite polymer electrolytes (CPEs) of electrical double-layer capacitors (EDLCs) were prepared by solution blending. EDLCs were then fabricated with the composite membranes and activated carbon electrodes. The optimized solid-state EDLC with PAES-Q/PVP composite membrane containing 40 wt% PVP entrapping 6 M KOH served as CPE exhibited a specific capacitance of 140.85 F g −1 and an energy density of 4.81 W h kg −1 at a current density of 0.1 A g −1 . Electrochemical cycle performance of the solid-state EDLC indicated almost 100% cycling retention and near 97% coulombic efficiency over 5000 charge-discharge cycles at 0.5 A g −1 . Additionally, the mechanical properties, thermal stability and electrochemical performance of the composite membranes with various contents of PVP were investigated as well.

Development of anion exchange membrane (AEM) with high conductivity, good dimensional stability, desirable toughness and long life-time simultaneously is still a challenge for the practical application of AEM fuel cells. Herein, a novel AEM (denoted as PBI-c-PVBC/OH) is fabricated by applying polybenzimidazole (PBI) and 1,4-diazabicyclo (2.2.2) octane (DABCO) as the macromolecular crosslinker and quaternizing reagent for poly(vinylbenzyl chloride) (PVBC), respectively. With the aid of crosslinking by PBI, PBI-c-PVBC/OH exhibits good flexibility and strength both in dry and water-saturated state. Moreover, high hydroxide conductivity (>25 mS cm −1 at room temperature) and low swelling ratio (∼13%) is obtained, especially the swelling ratio nearly does not increase with temperature. The membrane is also advanced for the superior chemical stability in alkaline environment due to the stable polymer backbone and ionic conductive group (only one nitrogen atom in a DABCO molecule is quaternized). Furthermore, a peak power density of 230 mW cm −2 at 50 °C is obtained on the H 2 /O 2 fuel cell using PBI-c-PVBC/OH, and the membrane presents high durability both in the constant current and continuous open circuit voltage testing. Therefore, it is considered that the PBI crosslinking together with DABCO quaternization can be regarded as a promising strategy in the development of AEM for fuel cells.

A new UiO-67-type zirconium metal organic framework (MOF) material UiO-67-bpy-Me (bpy = 2,2-bipyridine-4,4′-dicarboxylic acid, Me = methyl) was prepared by N-quaternization of the pyridine sites in UiO-67-bpy. After N-quaternization, the pristine neutral framework turned cationic while its high thermal and chemical stabilities were primarily preserved. Fast and enhanced anionic dye adsorption was observed in UiO-67-bpy-Me. In addition, despite the decrease in surface area and pore volume, UiO-67-bpy-Me exhibited an evident increase in CO2 uptake compared to UiO-67-bpy. The enhancement was ascribed to the strong interactions between CO2 and the N-quaternized framework. More importantly, as the N-quaternization has changed the electronic structure of the organic linker. UiO-67-bpy-Me showed optical absorption up to ca. 800 nm with a large red shift of 450 nm compared to the pristine UiO-67-bpy (ca. 350 nm). The extended optical absorption may lead to more efficiency in light utilization. A proof-of-concept demonstration showed that UiO-67-bpy-Me could more efficiently catalyze methyl-orange degradation under UV-Vis light irradiation than the pristine UiO-67-bpy. These findings demonstrate that N-quaternization could serve as a facile post-synthetic modification method to tune the chemical/physical properties of free pyridyl-containing MOFs.

The influence of the quaternization and butyrylation on the sizing properties of biological starch macromolecule was evaluated for acquiring a new starch bio-based size [quaternized-butyrylated starch (QBS)]. The sizing properties of granular QBS samples were investigated in comparison with acid-thinned starch (ATS) and quaternized starch (QS). The QBS samples with a DS range of 0.029–0.0779 exhibited bonding strengths of 17.0–18.3 cN/tex to cotton fibers [15.5 cN/tex (ATS, DS = 0) and 16.6 cN/tex (QS, DS = 0.0240)] and 31.0–34.3 cN/tex to polyester fibers [28.0 cN/tex (ATS) and 30.1 cN/tex (QS)], and their films showed breaking elongations of 2.99–3.51% [2.59% (ATS) and 2.81% (QS)] and tensile strengths of 36.5–32.1 MPa [38.1 MPa (ATS) and 37.3 MPa (QS)]. Compared with QS, significantly increased bonding strengths as well as obviously decreased strengths and increased elongations of the films for the QBS samples with the total DS ≥ 0.0635 were exhibited. As increasing the modification levels from 0.029 to 0.0779, QBS presented paste stabilities from 90.4% to 85.7% which met with the requirement in warp sizing, and displayed higher desizing efficiencies (93.2–93.8%) than ATS (91.5%) and QS (90.2%). Based on these results, the amphiphilic quaternization-butyrylation was a good means for starch to acquire good sizing properties.

Inexpensive, biodegradable and antibacterial nanofibers were developed through graft-quaternization double modification of chitosan (CS) as a potential substitute for those from petroleum products . Chitin is available in large quantities at low price from fishery by-products, such as crab and prawn shells. However, native chitin and its derivative - CS have poor solubility in common spinning solvents, are difficult to be used as regenerated fibers, exhibit mediocre antibacterial property, and have limited medical application as functional fiber. In this research, CS- g -polydimethylaminoethyl methacrylate (PDMAEMA) and its quaternized product were prepared successively. Various nanofiber membranes were produced by electrospinning using the modified CS/PVA acetic acid blend spinning solutions. Effects of grafting ratio ( GR ) of DMAEMA and degree of quaternization ( DQ ) on major application performance of the blend nanofiber membranes, e.g. fiber fineness, tensile property , moisture-penetrability, and inhibition of E.coli and S.aureus , were evaluated systematically. When the GR and the DQ were 21.5% and 12.3% respectively, the quaternized CS- g -PDMAEMA/PVA blend nanofiber membrane possessed satisfied fiber fineness and smoothness, high tensile property and moisture-penetrability. In addition, the nanofiber thus produced had higher inhibition function to S.aureus than many commonly used antibacterial fibrous membranes .

A quaternized chitosan (QCS)@poly(ionic liquid) (PIL) hydrogel adhesive was prepared by in-situ ultraviolet (UV)-induced copolymerization of 1-vinyl-3-butyl imidazolium bromide ([BVIm][Br]) and methacryloyloxyethyl trimethylammonium chloride (DMC) in QCS aqueous solution without using any crosslinkers, which was stably crosslinked by reversible hydrogen bonding together with ion association and exhibited excellent adhesion, plasticity, conductivity and recyclability properties. Moreover, its thermal/pH-responsive behaviors and intermolecular interaction mechanism of thermal-triggered reversible adhesion were discovered, meanwhile good biocompatibility, antibacterial properties, repeated stickiness and degradability were also proved. The results showed that the newly developed hydrogel could make various tissues, organic, inorganic or metal materials adhered tightly within 1 min; after 10 binding-peeling cycles, the adhesive strength to glass, plastic, aluminum and porcine skin still remained beyond 96 %, 98 %, 92 % and 71 % of the original, respectively. The adhesion mechanism involves ion dipole interaction, electrostatic interaction, hydrophobic interaction, coordination, cation-π interaction, H-bonding and van der Waals force. For above merits, the new tricomponent hydrogel is expected to be applied in biomedical field to achieve adjustable adhesion and on-demand peeling.

Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) is an economical and easily available cellulose derivative that ionizes in water and is used in several charge-related interfacial applications. However, compared with other chemically functionalized cellulose derivatives, such as cellulose nanocrystals, the development of CMC-based (CMC as the major ingredient) O/W emulsions remains unexplored. In this study, we synthesized a CMC and quaternized chitosan (QCS) complex for the preparation of Pickering emulsions . Partially protonated CMC was complexed with QCS, followed by neutralization at pH 7 to obtain the CMC/QCS (CQ) particles. The prepared CQ-stabilized emulsion showed a gel-like rheological behavior and exhibited emulsion stability against several environmental stresses, including pH, salt, temperature, and long-term storage. The curcumin was then encapsulated in the CQ-stabilized emulsion and displayed a reduced degradation rate. This study provides a new route for the development of a Pickering emulsion delivery system with improved stability, sustainability and reduced complexity.

The degree of substitution (DS) of cellulose derivative is significantly associated with its properties. In this paper, a series of quaternary cellulose (QC) samples with different DS (ranging from 0.16 to 0.51) were synthesized with assistance of microwave and their relationship with strength improvement of fiber networks was investigated systematically. QCs were characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, 1 H NMR, and TGA , etc. The results showed that the cationic quaternary ammonium salt group was successfully grafted onto the backbones of cellulose chains and the thermal stability was associated inversely with the DS of QCs. However, the results of strength test for the fiber networks from secondary fiber of old corrugated containers showed that the tensile and burst strength was enhanced by addition of QCs, and their performance was positively correlated their DS. The best result achieved in this investigation was in the case of QC with DS of 0.51, with increments of tensile and burst strength 6.17% and 11.68%, respectively, at a dosage of 1.0 wt% based on oven-dry pulp. This investigation highlights the importance of DS of QC to its application in strength improvement for fiber networks.

Free chlorine (FC), primarily existing as hypochlorite anion in alkaline water (pK a 7.5), could theoretically be analyzed by an ion chromatography (IC) system. However, the feasibility of direct FC detection by IC remains controversial in previous researches. To address this issue, this study systematically examined the fate of FC under varying IC eluent pH, anion exchange column (AEC) types, detectors, and suppression conditions. The results ultimately disprove it and show that the primary obstacle to direct FC analysis with IC system is its transformation: 31 %–41 % became Cl - and 59 %–69 % became immobile organic chloramines in AEC, due to its reaction with quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) in AECs. Moreover, IC analysis of Cl - might be interfered by coexisting FC, although FC concentrations are typically much lower than Cl - . Eluent suppressor can also consume FC even when residual FC after AEC is limited. In contrast, variations in water pH do not affect FC stability, and a UV detector effectively distinguishes FC from other anions. This study hence for the first time elucidates several FC consumption mechanisms in IC system, which represent key barriers hindering FC analysis by IC, and accordingly provide some guidance on future efforts to develop novel AEC to overcome these barriers.

With the advancement of high-integration and high-density interconnection in chip manufacturing and packaging, Cu bumping technology in wafer- and panel- level packaging is developed to micrometer-sized structures and pitches to accommodate increased I/O numbers on high-end integrated circuits. Driven by this industrial demand, significant efforts have been dedicated to Cu electroplating techniques for improved pillar shape control and solder joint reliability, which substantially depend on additive formulations and electroplating parameters that regulate the growth morphology, crystal structure, and impurity incorporation in the process of electrodeposition. It is necessary to investigate the effect of an additive on Cu pillar electrodeposition, and to explore the Kirkendall voids formed during the reflowing process, which may result from the additive-induced impurity in the electrodeposited Cu pillars. In this work, a self-synthesized polyquaterntum (PQ) was made out with dual suppressor and leveler effects, and was combined with prototypical accelerator bis- (sodium sulfopropyl)-disulfide (SPS) for patterned Cu pillar electroplating. Then, Sn96.5/Ag3.0/Cu0.5 (SAC305) solder paste were screen printed on electroplated Cu pillars and undergo reflow soldering. Kirkendall voids formed at the joint interfaces were observed and quantified by SEM. Finally, XRD, and EBSD were employed to characterize the microstructure under varying conditions. The results indicate that PQ exhibits significant suppressive and levelled properties with the new structure of both leveler and suppressor. However, its effectiveness is dependent on liquid convection. PQ and SPS work synergistically, influencing the polarization effect in various convective environments. Consequently, uneven adsorption occurs on the surface of the Cu pillars, which results in more Kirkendall voids at the corners than at the center along the Cu pillar surface.

In this study, a polyvinyl alcohol/polyethylene glycol/hydroxypropyltrimethyl ammonium chloride chitosan (PVA/PEG/HACC) ternary composite hydrogel was synthesized using electron-beam radiation. The materials were thoroughly characterized via Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller analysis, gelation fraction tests, and swelling rate tests. Systematic adsorption experiments revealed that the rate of adsorption of calf thymus DNA (ctDNA) by the PVA/PEG/HACC hydrogel reached 89%. The adsorption process followed the Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetic model. This process was mainly characterized by monolayer chemical adsorption, with intraparticle diffusion playing a crucial role. In addition, the process was spontaneous, with higher temperatures enhancing adsorption. The possible adsorption mechanisms included electrostatic interactions, hydrogen bonding, and van der Waals forces. The maximum ctDNA desorption rate was 81.67%. The adsorption rate remained at 71.39% after five adsorption–desorption cycles. The bioactivity of the PVA/PEG/HACC hydrogel was validated by antibacterial, cytotoxicity, and apoptosis tests. The results of this study demonstrated the crucial application potential of adsorbent materials in DNA adsorption and biomedical applications.

In this work, gallic acid was successfully grafted onto quaternary aminated chitosan to prepare a high efficiency cationic flocculant. The mechanism of flocculation and different influencing factors were studied in detail. The prepared flocculant only needs 60 mg L−1 to achieve a 98.7% and 94.5% removal rate on methyl blue (MB) and Congo red (CR), respectively. The high removal rate (93.2%) of a CR-MB mixed dye also confirms the universality of flocculation. In addition, kaolin as a simulated suspended solid was removed at a rate of 97% in the experiment at a dosage of 3 mg L−1. A zeta potential test showed that it worked best when the potential of the flocculation system was zero; this was because an electrostatic balance was reached between the flocculant and pollutant. Importantly, the three-functional molecules can provide more possibilities to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules, which is conducive to the stretching of flocculant molecular chains in salt water. The flocculant maintained a high stability in four different salt environments and has a positive industrial application significance. Furthermore, the flocculation experiment of the actual wastewater of the printing and dyeing plant found that the dye wastewater changed obviously from turbidity to clarification, which proved the practical application potential of the flocculant. This work provides a feasible idea for the preparation of bio-based flocculants.
