In this study, the nanocomposites are prepared which used polyamide 6 (PA6) composite as matrix, melamine cyanurate (MCA) as fire retardant and attapulgite (AT) as synergistic agent. The mathematical model between MCA content, AT content, and limited oxygen index (LOI) is established by multiple linear regression fitting. The polymer materials are characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, Thermogravimetric Analysis, and scanning electron microscopy. Through response surface methodology, the important variables (polymerization time, the content of MCA, and the content of AT) affecting the mechanical strength of composites are modeled. Results demonstrate that when the t is 0.6 h, the AT content is 6.2%, and the MCA content is 11.5%, the mechanical properties of the PA6/MCA/AT composite are up to 44.81 MPa, and the sample passes the UL-94 V-0 flammability rating, and the LOI reaches 27.9%. Therefore, polymers with highly effective flame retardancy and optimal mechanical properties are prepared. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2020 , 137 , 47298.

In order to improve the utilization rate of avermectin (AVM), a complex was prepared by electrostatic self-assembly using isolated soy protein (ISP) and carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) for loading AVM to obtain ISP/CMCS@AVM microspheres. The encapsulation efficiency (EE), sustained release property, ultraviolet (UV) protective ability, and toxicity of the microspheres were evaluated, and the release kinetics of AVM from the microsphere at different pHs were investigated. The results demonstrated that the average particle size of ISP/CMCS@AVM was 283.95 nm, and the EE reached 88.42% for AVM after denaturation. After 70 h of exposure to UV light, the residual rate of AVM in ISP/CMCS@AVM was 78.12%, which was significantly higher than 35.18% in the AVM emulsion. Moreover, the formulation imparted pH sensitivity and sustained-release property to AVM and was consistent with the Korsmeyer–Peppas model, controlled by Fick diffusion. Finally, the insecticidal toxicity of ISP/CMCS@AVM did not differ significantly from that of unmodified AVM. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2020 , 137 , 48358.

Most of the vitrimers based on transesterification (TE) highly rely on the usage of large amounts of catalysts to promote exchange reactions to obtain re-processability, which brings additional concerns on human health or environmental issues. Herein, we demonstrate that TE vitrimers with soft networks (low T g ), though free of catalysts nor any other special design, can be still dynamic enough to be easily re-processed. In this paper, fully bio-based and catalyst-free thermosets from epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) and bio-dicarboxylic acids (DA) were synthesized and found to possess decent re-processability. By means of compressive remolding (10 MPa, 160°C), the ESO-DA thermosets heal visible defects within 30 min and restore the mechanical strength within 3 h. Upon 3 times of mechanical recycling, the mechanical strengths remain nearly unchanged compared with those of pristine thermosets. Stress relaxation experiments confirm the network rearrangement at high temperatures (≥150°C) as well as vitrimeric flow of the materials. The materials are also capable of being welded without solvents under a small pressure. Lastly, a facile fusion method was employed to tune the mechanical strength of the recycled ESO vitrimers.

An epoxidized cardanol tungoleate (ECT) based on tung oil and cardanol was synthesized through esterification and epoxidation. The chemical structure of the compound was verified by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and proton nuclear magnetic resonance ( 1 H-NMR). The plasticizing effects of ECT as the main plasticizer in poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) was studied and compared with the commercial plasticizer dioctyl phthalate (DOP). The thermal migration stabilities, the thermal degradation process and the mechanical properties of PVC samples and the plasticization mechanism of ECT for PVC were investigated through the use of volatility, extraction, discoloration, and tensile tests as well as thermal gravity analysis (TGA), TGA–FTIR analysis, electronic universal testing machine and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). Compared with DOP, the ECT plasticized PVC can exhibits better thermal stability, more excellent tensile strength (17.28 MPa) and higher stretchability (629.41%), which is 1161% higher than DOP (1.37 MPa) plasticized PVC film. In addition, the migration resistance and volatility stability of ECT are much better than DOP. Therefore, this fully bio-based plasticizer based on tung oil and cardanol is a promising alternative plasticizer for PVC and may be an excellent phthalate substitute from the perspective of human health and sustainable development.

Intelligent response carriers have been developed and widely used in agriculture to improve pesticide utilization. However, there are few tailored response carriers that are targeting the cotton aphid pest. Based on the temperature-dependent growth and reproduction of cotton aphids, we constructed a tailored temperature-responsive star-shaped polymer to achieve on-demand controlled release of imidacloprid (IMI) to more effectively kill cotton aphids. In this work, a series of star-shaped polymers based on β -cyclodextrin ( β -CD), 2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethyl methacrylate (MEO 2 MA), and tert -butyl acrylate ( t BA) were synthesized via atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). Next, β -CD-PMEO 2 MA ( β -CD-P0) micelles were developed having different controlled release rates of IMI at different temperatures (14, 21, or 27°C) following the cotton aphid growth and reproduction cycle. At 21°C, the micelle underwent a phase transition from a solution state to a turbidity state. By inducing this structural change, release of IMI was increased to adapt to the reproduction of the cotton aphid population which is highest at 21–27°C. In vitro release experiments showed that 48% of IMI was released from β -CD-P0 after the phase transition temperature (PTT). An aqueous solution of the β -CD-P0 polymer micelle was stable at 4°C for at least 28 days. Therefore, this intelligent response release model has enormous potential as a novel carrier for various pesticides.

The paradox of obtaining dielectric elastomers (DEs) with both low modulus and high-dielectric properties has long been puzzling researchers in this field. To solve this problem, a preliminary attempt is made here by solution compounding polyphenol nanoparticles modified multiwalled carbon nanotube (PNs@MWCNT) with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) to obtain PDMS based DEs with excellent electromechanical properties. The PNs layer can improve the interfacial interaction between MWCNT and PDMS probably through interfacial hydrogen bonding, thus improving the dispersion of PNs@MWCNT in PDMS. Compared with pure MWCNT filled PDMS nanocomposites, despite the hardening effect brought by the filler network, a softening effect (i.e., decreased cross-linking) by the finer filler-dispersion enhances in PNs@MWCNT/PDMS, resulting in lower moduli. Meanwhile, the as-prepared PNs@MWCNT/PDMS composites exhibit high permittivity, low-dielectric loss and high-breakdown strength. Finally, the PNs@MWCNT/PDMS nanocomposites show excellent electromechanical properties with a largest actuated strain of 7.4% at a breakdown strength of 13.1 kV/mm, which is 2.2 times that (3.3%@13.3 kV/mm) of MWCNT/PDMS and 3.9 times that (1.9%@18.8 kV/mm) of neat PDMS.

Magnetic nanoparticles were attached to yeast by co-precipitation reaction of FeCl 3 ·6H 2 O and FeCl 2 ·4H 2 O. Then, based on magnetite yeast composites (M@Y), the magnetic molecularly imprinted polymers (MMIPs) were synthesized for the selective recognition of beta-cypermethrin (PP 321 ). MMIPs were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, vibrating sample magnetometer, Fourier transform infrared analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, and elemental analysis. MMIPs exhibited uniform morphology and magnetic property (Ms = 17.87 emu/g) and thermal stability. Batch mode adsorption studies were carried out to investigate the specific adsorption equilibrium, kinetics, and selective recognition. The Langmuir isotherm model was fitted to the equilibrium data slightly better than the Freundlich model, and the adsorption capacity of MMIPs was 39.64 mg/g at 298 K. The kinetic properties of MMIPs were well described by the pseudo-second-order equation. Hydrogen bonds between methacrylic acid and PP 321 were mainly responsible for the adsorption mechanism. The MMIPs prepared were applied to the separation of PP 321 from experimental samples successfully. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci., 2013

The activation of foaming agent is critical to its application. In this study, 4,4′-oxibis-(benzenesulfonyl hydrazide) (OBSH) activated by urea was used in the manufacture of low-density unsaturated polyester resin (LDUPR), and the results were compared with that of OBSH activated by zinc oxide and zinc stearate. The experiment results showed that the activation of OBSH by urea was better than by zinc oxide or by zinc stearate. A novel hydrogen bond activation mechanism of urea is presented in this research. Two stages, including the induction stage and the foaming stage, were proposed in the LDUPR manufacture according to the gas evolution curves of activated OBSH. The decomposition temperature and the decomposition time of OBSH activated by urea were determined to match the gelation time of UPR for the manufacture of LDUPR. The disadvantageous chemical behaviors of activated OBSH were eliminated in the induction treatment. The activated OBSH via induction treatment released gas maximally and distributed gas homogeneously in the resin glue, resulting in a better foaming effect than that of the previous foaming agents. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

In this study, we investigated the influence of the small molecule 4,4′-thiobis(6- tert -butyl- m -methyl phenol) (AO300) on the miscibility of poly(isosorbide- co -1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol carbonate) (I c C–PC) with bisphenol A polycarbonate (BPA–PC) through the formation of hydrogen-bonding networks. Differential scanning calorimetry and morphological observation revealed that the initially, immiscible BPA–PC/I c C–PC blends become miscible through the addition of small molecules. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy confirmed that intermolecular hydrogen bonds formed between the hydroxyl groups of AO300 and the carbonyl groups of the studied polycarbonates. These polycarbonates exhibited different hydrogen-bonding behaviors and various degrees of glass-transition temperature composition dependence. Dynamic mechanical analysis demonstrated that AO300 played an antiplasticization role in the BPA–PC/I c C–PC blends with improved storage moduli. To our knowledge, this article is the first to describe the miscibility of isosorbide-based polycarbonate with BPA–PC. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2017 , 134 , 44537.

A novel and simple but practical method for the preparation of modified poly(ether sulfone) (PES) membranes was provided by the in situ crosslinked copolymerization of sulfobetaine methacrylate (SBMA) and sodium p -styrene sulfonate (NaSS) in PES solution followed by a phase-separation technique. Then, semi-interpenetrating network membranes modified by the crosslinked copolymers of poly(sulfobetaine methacrylate- co -sodium p -styrene sulfonate) [P(SBMA- co -NaSS)] were prepared. The SBMA-containing copolymer-modified membranes showed improved protein antifouling properties with flux recovery ratios above 90%. Furthermore, the anticoagulant properties of the NaSS-containing copolymer-modified membranes were obviously enhanced; their activated partial thromboplastin time could be prolonged to about 115 s. Thus, the P(SBMA- co -NaSS) zwitterionic copolymer-modified membranes showed improved antifouling properties and blood compatibility and will provide wide choices for their specific applications. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

In this work, dioctyl 2,5-thiophenedicarboxylate (DOT), a potentially bio-based plasticizer, was synthesized and evaluated as an alternative to traditional petroleum-based plasticizers. The chemical structure of DOT was confirmed by FTIR and 1 H NMR. Besides, its plasticization effect on poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) was investigated in detail, and dioctyl 2,5-furandicarboxylate (DOF) as well as dioctyl isophthalate (DOIP) with similar chemical structures were used as references. The DMA results showed that the glass transition temperature ( T g ) of PVC/DOT, PVC/DOF, and PVC/DOIP was 45.1°C, 33.6°C, and 51.3°C, respectively, indicating that the plasticizing efficiency of DOT was better than that of DOIP but lower than that of DOF. However, the tensile test results exhibited that the elongation at the break of PVC/DOT was higher than that of PVC/DOF, which was attributed to the easy phase separation between DOF and PVC. In addition, DOT displayed the best volatility resistance and exudation resistance among the three plasticizers, attributed to its highest molecular weight. Moreover, the migration loss of DOT in non-polar solvents was much smaller than that of DOIP because of its stronger molecular polarity. In conclusion, DOT has good potential to replace traditional petroleum-based plasticizers and be used as a primary plasticizer for PVC.

Waterborne polyurethane/polyacrylate (PUA) emulsions were prepared by dispersing polyurethane (PU) prepolymer in polyacrylate (PA) emulsion; therefore, the PU particles formed in the presence of PA nanoparticles. The particle size and its distribution of the composite PUA emulsion were determined by dynamic light scattering. The result shows that the average particle size increases initially and then decreases with increasing PA content, which is confirmed by transmission electron microscope characterization. The surface properties of PUA films were analyzed by water contact angle and atomic force microscope topography. It indicates that the water contact angle and the average roughness of the composite PUA films are larger than those of the PU film. Meanwhile, mechanical properties test, scanning electron microscopy, and thermogravimetric analyses disclose that the PUA films are characterized by enhanced tensile strength, rough fractured surface, and good thermal stability. The preparation method proposed in this article is an effective and convenient way to manufacture composite PUA emulsion. The composite PUA emulsion can be potentially used in coatings. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2016 , 133 , 43203.
