A novel double-hydrophilic block copolymer P(MEO 2 MA- co -OEGMA)- b -PAMA has been successfully synthesized by two-step RAFT polymerization. Then, the amino groups of PAMA blocks in the copolymers react with 1-pyrenecarboxaldehyde via a “Schiff-base” reaction, and the resulting copolymers are self-assembled to form spherical micelles in aqueous solution. Because the “Schiff-base” linkage is pH sensitive, the release rate of pyrene depends upon the pH of solution. Complete release is achieved at pH 1, and the control release is much faster at pH 5.5 than that at pH 7.4. With progress of pyrene release, the micelles are disassembled gradually and disappeared completely at last. This double-hydrophilic copolymer is a promising candidate of drug carrier for the aldehyde- containing hydrophobic drugs.

In this study, the fibrillation of hen egg-white lysozyme (HEWL) in the absence and presence of different concentrations of silybin was studied by thioflavin T spectroscopy, Congo red binding assays, 8-anilino-1-naphthalenesulfonic acid (ANS) fluorescence assay, circular dichroism, and transmission electron microscopy. The experimental results indicated that not only the fibrillation of HEWL at high temperature (65°C) and low pH (pH = 2.0) could be inhibited effectively by silybin but also the inhibition of HEWL by silybin followed a dose-dependent manner. Molecular docking studies indicated that 2 possible binding modes could be found in the interaction between silybin and HEWL via van der Waals forces and electrostatic forces as well as hydrogen bonding. One of these 2 conformations was directly entered into the cavity of HEWL (binding site I); the other was bound to the surface of HEWL (binding site II). In this way, silybin could not only increase the hydrophobicity of the cavity or the surface of HEWL but also influence the microenvironment of the binding site, which was able to stabilize the structure of HEWL and delay the process of HEWL fibrosis.

A facile method to prepare surface self-concentration antibacterial coating with contact-killing mechanism was developed. Photo curable quaternary ammonium compound QAC bearing a 16-carbon alkyl chain and a terminal methacrylate was synthesized as reactive antibacterial additive. After UV irradiation, QAC was crosslinked in the soy-based coating matrix. With proper amounts of QAC, the UV cured coatings exhibited good properties such as high glossiness, good hardness and fine adhesion to cherrywood substrates. The self-concentration property of QAC on the cured coating surface, which is beneficial to reserve the physical properties of the bulk materials and to improve the surface antibacterial activity, was confirmed by fluorescence and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Moreover, the introduction of QAC provided the coatings with superhydrophilicity property as well as good anti-fog capacity. The coatings with 8 wt% of QAC (charge density = 8.6 mol cm−2) exhibited almost 100% antibacterial activity against Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus and Gram-negative Escherichia coli by 5 log reduction. The contact-killing mechanism of coatings was confirmed via the zone of inhibition tests. The straightforward preparation combined with excellent antibacterial property makes the QAC containing coatings quite promising in antibacterial coatings realm and is suitable for industrial-scale manufacturing.

The synergic effect between each component in composite membrane has created a new concept to fabricate membrane materials and widen their applications. Previous trials have suggested that micrometer-scale aramid fiber (MAF) could be effectively split into nanoscale aramid fiber (NAF) by dissolution in DMSO/KOH. Addressed herein is a time-saving approach to incorporate graphene oxide (GO) together with NAF to fabricate composite membranes through π–π stacking interactions. NAF–GO composite membranes (GO/NAF) containing gradient contents of GO have been prepared using absolute ethanol as proton donor, making the drying process facile and fast. The obtained composite membranes exhibit excellent hydrophilicity and enhanced mechanical performance. The chemical structure, morphology, crystallization and mechanical strength of GO/NAF composite membranes are characterized, respectively, and the hydrophilicity of GO/NAF is also evaluated by static water contact angle measurements. In the case of medium GO content (1 wt%) used in this study, the composite membrane possesses both optimal mechanical performance and better hydrophilicity compared to other supplementations, indicating that absolute ethanol is a promising proton donor for flocculation, which makes the post-treatment process more economic.

Three-dimensional (3D) graphene-based porous materials with a combination of low density, superelasticity , excellent mechanical resilience and tunable functionalities can be used in diverse applications. Here we report an approach of fabricating the stable and flexible 3D graphene aerogel materials with tunable functionality via a general silane-assisted processing that maintains an effective control of the chemistry, architecture and functionality of these porous structures. Simultaneous reduction and functionalization were achieved under both a low temperature and a low graphene oxide concentration in aqueous solution via using a facile one-step co-assembly method. The introduction of silane bonding tailors both the porous microstructure and the surface property of the lightweight aerogel effectively, subsequently providing improved mechanical properties and versatile functionalities including super compressive elasticity, outstanding cyclic resilient property, good electrical conductivity , stable viscoelastic properties, high level energy absorption capacity, excellent hydrophobicity , remarkable thermal stability and extremely high sensitivity of elasticity-dependent electrical conductivity. This opens up scalable and low-cost ways to the integration of microscopic two-dimensional graphene sheets into macroscopic 3D graphene aerogel materials, thus providing the possibility of fabricating novel lightweight porous aerogel materials with controllable functionalities and reversible compressibility for applications in numerous fields.

Polymer-based composites are used for wound healing applications. This work aims to prepare an inorganic-polymer nanocomposite based on bentonite, poly(vinyl alcohol), and bacterial cellulose by electrospinning for wound healing. The nanocomposite is synthesized using a solution intercalation technique, with 1–2 wt% nanobentonite concentration variation. The effects of commercial and laboratory-synthesized nanobentonite as well as the extract of the green walnut shell (EGWS) are examined and characterized by different techniques. The addition of nanobentonite increases the average size of fibers and tensile strength up to 200 nm and more than 15 MPa, respectively, due to the presence of hydrogen bonding formed between the nanobentonite sheets and polymer matrix. By the addition of synthetic nanoclay and EGWS, moderate elongation and strength are achieved. The hydrophilicity shows a decreasing trend up to 2 wt% of commercial nanobentonite; however, the laboratory-synthesized nanobentonite is not significantly effective. Effects of extracts on the viability of cultured human adipose tissue–derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) are quantitated, where the samples containing 1–2 wt% of commercial nanobentonite have less toxicity than others. Antibacterial activity is tested against both Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria according to the agar diffusion test for 72 h, in which EGWS-based mats exhibit strong antimicrobial activity.

A novel positively charged loose nanofiltration (NF) membrane was fabricated feasibly by UV-induced photografting polymerization of diallyl dimethyl ammonium chloride (DADMAC) on Polysulfone ultrafiltration membrane. A possible reaction mechanism was proposed that a linear chain structure and/or pyrrole like five-membered nitrogen heterocycles structure on the side chain were grafted to form the active barrier layer. NF membrane demonstrated a looser average pore size of 8.6 nm and positive charges surface. Owing to the nanoscale ultrathin nanoscale barrier layer and the combination of Donnan exclusion and steric hindrance , NF membrane exhibited good hydrophilicity , a high pure flux of 60 L/m 2 h (0.5 MPa), a good salt rejection to Mg 2+ (90.8%), Al 3+ (94.0%), Ca 2+ (91.5%), and a high dye rejection to methylene blue (99.4%) and congo red (100.0%) respectively. The salts rejection of NF membrane to different salts followed the order of AlCl 3 > CaCl 2 > MgCl 2 > NaCl > LiCl > MgSO 4 > Na 2 SO 4. NF membrane showed certain fouling resistance to seawater and BSA solution. The grafting polymerization kinetics were comprehensively investigated including irradiation time, monomer concentration and irradiation intensity. X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and contact angle measurement were employed to investigate membrane chemistry, morphologies, and hydrophilicity.

Aqueous polyurethane micelles from 2,4,6-trichlorphenol blocking terminal-isocynate pre-polymer were prepared which could be de-blocked at low temperature. The prepared aqueous blocked polyurethane micelles (BPUMs) were uniform and spherical micro-particles. The particle size was decreased with increase of the DMPA content, while it was enlarged at first and then gradually decreased by increasing R -value. The stability of the micelles was affected by the R value, blocked efficiency and DMPA content. HDI-BPUMs were more stable than HDI-BPUMs at the same condition. The stability was further researched by the zeta potential combining with technique and viscosity tracking method, and the initial zeta potential be used as the stability criterion. In addition, a stabilization mechanism of the micelles was proposed. TCP-blocked TDI-BPUMs could be initially de-blocked at about 75°C and TCP-blocked HDI-BPUMs was de-blocked at about 80°C. The de-blocking temperature could be further reduced in the presence of catalyst, but it was scarcely affected by the change of R -value and DMPA content. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl.

In an attempt to control Ca 3 (PO 4 ) 2 , CaCO 3 , and CaSO 4 deposits in industrial recycling water systems, an acrylic acid (AA)-allyloxy poly(ethylene glycol) polyglycerol carboxylate (APEG-PG-COOH) copolymer was synthesized as a nonphosphorus inhibitor. The synthesized polymer was characterized by 1 H NMR. The performance of PAA/APEG-PG-COOH on inhibition of Ca 3 (PO 4 ) 2 , CaCO 3 and CaSO 4 precipitation was studied through static scale inhibition tests. It was shown that PAA/APEG-PG-COOH exhibited excellent ability to control inorganic minerals, with approximately 100% CaSO 4 inhibition and 99.89% Ca 3 (PO 4 ) 2 inhibition at levels of 3 and 6 mg/L PAA/APEG-PG-COOH, respectively. PAA/APEG-PG-COOH also displayed ability to prevent the formation of CaCO 3 scales. The effects on formation of Ca 3 (PO 4 ) 2 , CaCO 3 and CaSO 4 were investigated with combination of Scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) analysis, respectively.

The compatibility between polypyrrole (PPy) and waterborne epoxy coating (EP) remains the main challenge. Here, phosphorylated poly (vinyl alcohol) (PPVA) and p-toluene sulfonic acid sodium (p-TSA) were simultaneously utilized as dopants to modify PPy and prepare water dispersible PPVA/p-TSA/PPy (PPVAT/PPy) solution. Additionally, poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and TSA were also adopted to prepare PVA/p-TSA/PPy (PVAT/PPy) for comparison. Denser film with granular morphology was observed for PPVAT/PPy nanocomposite film. Compared with PVAT/PPy-40 %, the tensile strength of PPVAT-8.0 %/PPy-40 % increased from 248.8–283.9 MPa. PPVAT/PPy displayed higher compatibility and interactions with EP compared to PPy-TSA and PVAT/PPy. Compared with EP, the impedance modulus of PVAT/PPy+EP and PPVAT/PPy+EP increased from 3.17×10 5 to 1.07×10 8 and 1.62×10 9 Ω·cm 2 ; corrosion current density I corr decreased from 1.49×10 −6 to 7.72×10 -8 and 4.01×10 -9 A·cm -2 ; corrosion potential E corr displayed a positive shift of 230 mV and 269 mV, respectively. The corrosion inhibition efficiency of PPVAT/PPy+EP reached 99.83 %, which is much higher than that of PVAT/PPy+EP (93.97 %). PPVAT/PPy+EP nanocomposite coating has been proved to have preferable long-term corrosion resistance based on electrochemical impedance spectra (EIS), polarization curves and salt water spray test. The simultaneous incorporation of phosphate anions, sulfate ions and PPy into EP was beneficial to fabricate high-performance anticorrosion coating.

Novel waterborne fluorinated polyurethane (WFPU) based on hydroxyl-terminated poly(fluoroalkyl methacrylates) (HTPFMA) was prepared successfully. The microstructures and micro-phase separation of WFPU were evaluated through infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), and scanning electron microscope (SEM). FT-IR revealed that the H-bonded carbonyl in hard domains increased with the increasing of fluorine content, resulting in enhancing the extent of micro-phase separation between hard and soft segments. XRD results indicated that the crystallinity of hard segment was enhanced with the increasing of fluorine content. The direct visual microstructures by SEM showed that the micro-phase separation was more significant when the fluorine content increased. DMA also revealed strengthened micro-phase separation with increasing fluorine content. The studies of mechanical properties confirmed that WFPU based on HTPFMA had outstanding mechanical properties. The effects of fluorine content on the static contact angles, surface free energy , and surface composition were also studied. The static contact angles of the WFPU films against water and methylene iodide reached around 108° and 84°, respectively. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) confirmed that the fluorine surface enrichment factor in the outermost 10 nm depth was about 10–18 fold higher than its bulk level.

In this study, a nanofiltration (NF) polyamide hollow fiber thin film composite membrane with a low rejection and a high flux was prepared in consideration of the “trade-off” relation between salt rejection and permeate flux of the membrane. The membrane was able to retain the beneficial minerals in tap water while keeping the body healthy. The membrane prepared had a thinner active skin layer (<100 nm) than those of commercial membranes. A permeability of 30.07 L/m 2 /h and a rejection rate of 79.68% for 1,000 mg/L MgSO 4 at 0.2 MPa were obtained. In addiiton, Fe 3+ , Cu 2+ , and Pb 2+ were used to evaluate the heavy metal removal performance of the NF membrane. It was found that as the concentration of heavy metal ions increased to three times of the Standards for Drinking Water Quality (SDWQ) (GB5749-2006), and the rejections to all heavy metal ions were more than 76%. In addition, the NF membrane had a good long-term rejection stability for the heavy metal ions over a 12-month dynamic filtration experiment. The results showed that the newly prepared NF membrane has a good application prospect for domestic water purification.
