An effective and green method to incorporate graphene oxide into quaternized hemicelluloses to form a hemicelluloses based film was introduced in this study. Tight, homogeneous, and smooth surfaces of the film were obtained from the SEM image. Data on the mechanical properties of the films indicated that the hybrid films prepared from QH and GO (component of GO was 4.8%) exhibited a high tensile strength of 43.83 MPa. This finding suggested that addition of GO contributed to the desirable mechanical properties of the hybrid film. The hybrid films exhibited high sensitivity to humidity; they could be bent spontaneously under wet conditions within seconds and stretched under dry conditions. In addition, the results of DMA indicated that the storage modulus of the hybrid films had an order of magnitude change in value at different humidities. These characteristics show that films can be potentially used in bio-medicine, packaging materials, and humidity sensors.

The generation of novel optical sensing structures through the lanthanide coordination has been a key scientific endeavor. The design of molecular indicator for chemical response is derived from the assembly of a polymeric-based ternary europium (III) complex system (Eu(NTA) 3 L/PVA (NTA = 4,4,4-trifluoro-1-(naphthalen-2-yl)butane-1,3-dione, L = 2-(4-(4-(allyloxy)phenyl)-6-(pyridin-2-yl)pyridin-2-yl)pyridine, PVA = poly(vinyl acetate)). The electrospinning technique has been employed to create a nanometer scale membrane and this functional film with ultrafine fibers (diameter of about 110 nm) exhibits intense red light at 618 nm under ultra-violet excitation of 340 nm. The luminescent signal transduction involves the interaction of hydrogen chloride (HCl) with the organic ligand. The strong acidity of the analyte induces dissociation of complex network and the evolution of emission from red to blue has been observed. The fabricated nanosensor demonstrates rapid response time (<2 s) and the detection limit has been calculated to be 3.0 ppm. This effective strategy for achieving lanthanide complex-encapsulated polymer fibers will contribute to the development of new intelligent photonic devices.

A modified electrospinning (MES), which consists of a copper mesh collector and an air pump placed behind it, was presented to fabricate nanofiber membranes (NFMs) with controllable large pore sizes by adjusting the MES parameters, such as copper mesh size, air velocity, applied voltage, flow rate and collecting distance. The controllable preparation mechanism of NFMs with large pore sizes was systematically investigated by experimental research and theoretical analysis. And the effects of the copper mesh grid dimensions, air velocity, applied voltage, flow rate and collecting distance on the pore sizes of NFMs were demonstrated. The results showed that NFMs with large pores produced successfully by the MES, and the pore sizes were all micrometer scale. And the optimal average pore size reached 14.45 μm 2 at the grid size of copper mesh of 4 mm×4 mm, the air velocity of 5 m/s, the applied voltage of 12 kV, the flow rate of 1.0 mL/h and the collecting distance of 18 cm.

One potential application for flexible thermoelectric (TE) devices based on inorganic ductile fiber materials is the development of self-powered wearable electronics. In the work, the molten drawing method was employed for fabricating inorganic ductile Ag 2 S 0.7 Te 0.3 fibers. The output voltage and maximum output power of the single fiber are 3.3 mV and 837.4 nW, respectively, under a temperature difference of 50 K. The Ag 2 S 0.7 Te 0.3 fiber shows outstanding stability performance in the service stability test with a critical electric density of 36 A cm −2 and exhibits a tensile strain of 5%. The high temperature sensitivity of the Ag 2 S 0.7 Te 0.3 fibers TE device demonstrates the application potential in wearable electronics products.

In this article, we report a study of the design and synthesis of a bifunctional cellulose derivative on the removal of phenols and heavy-metal ions in wastewater treatment. A radical polymerization was performed in an ionic liquid, 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride, to graft two monomers, butyl methacrylate and 4-vinyl pyridine, on the backbone of cellulose. The effects of the five reaction conditions on the yield of final products were evaluated. The grafted celluloses were characterized by means of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. Adsorption experiments were carried out on the cellulose- g -poly(butyl methacrylate- co -4-vinyl pyridine) to evaluate the capacity of the removal of 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) and Cu(II) in water. The adsorption isotherms were measured at five temperatures and interpreted by a Langmuir model of adsorption. The thermodynamics of the adsorption suggested that the binding process was mildly exothermic for Cu(II) and endothermic for 2,4-DCP. Kinetic studies were interpreted with a pseudo-second-order adsorption model. The process of the adsorption of 2,4-DCP could be described overall by the model, whereas the adsorption of Cu(II) involved two processes. This was due to adsorption both on the surface and inside the adsorbent. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2015 , 132 , 41830.

The flexible ZrO 2 /C composite nanofibrous film was fabricated by electrospinning and thermal treatment. Field-emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffractometer, and Fourier transform infrared spectra were used to characterize the morphology and microstructure of the ZrO 2 /C composite nanofibrous film. The ZrO 2 /C nanofibers exhibited rough surface and had the average diameter of about 230 ± 35 nm. And the ZrO 2 nanoparticles were incorporated in carbon matrix and in tetragonal and monoclinic. The flexural property of the ZrO 2 /C composite nanofibrous film was investigated in detail. The results showed that the flexural property of the nanofibrous film was greatly improved with addition of the ZrO 2 nanoparticles. Besides, with the increase of the contents of ZrO 2 nanoparticles, the flexural modulus of the nanofibrous film decreased, reached a lowest value, and then increased. The lowest flexural modulus of the ZrO 2 /C composite nanofibrous film in precursor concentration of 7.0 wt% was 8.55 ± 0.06 MPa.

This paper aims at elucidating the influence of liquid crystals (LCs) on the properties of shape memory polymers. A novel series of liquid crystalline shape memory polyurethanes, named LC-SF-SMPUs were successfully prepared by chemically cross-linking polyester sisal fibre cellulose (PSF) with polycaprolactone (PCL) and 4,4′-di(6-hydroxyhexyloxy)biphenyl (BP6). The effect of BP6 on the morphology and properties has been carefully investigated. The results show that the cross-linking structures provided a stable network, high elasticity and good thermal stability to the LC-SF-SMPUs, and demonstrate that the obtained LC-SF-SMPUs not only maintained the LC property of BP6, but also enhanced the intrinsic crystallization of PCL. Thus, the LC-SF-SMPUs showed excellent multi-shape memory properties with two crystalline transition temperatures. In the triple-shape memory effect of LC-SF-SMPUs, the first step of strain recovery is associated with the melting transition of the soft segment crystals of the polyurethane matrix, and the second step of strain recovery results from the melting transition of the LC mesogen. The strain fixity improved with increasing BP6-content, due to the enhanced crystallinity. However, the total strain recovery decreased as a result of the lubrication of the BP6 chains. This work demonstrates a new combination of LC properties and multi-shape memory properties, which makes it ideal for many potential applications in new smart devices.

Old polyester fibre (OPF) was used for the first reported microbial flocculant (MBF) production by Diaphorobacter nitroreducens R9. Pretreatment of OPF was performed by different bases individually. The optimal pretreatment conditions were determined by total organic carbon (TOC) content of hydrolysate supernatants. Although all alkaline OPF-hydrolysate culture media were investigated for MBF production, KOH hydrolysate produced the highest yield. The influence of KOH OPF-hydrolysate culture condition factors were applied throughout the response surface methodology , and the optimal conditions with the maximum MBF yield (4.02 g/L) were 33.5 °C, pH 9.5, and hydrolysate TOC (4.416 g/L). Furthermore, the MBF was applied to treat polyester alkali-peeling wastewater (PAPW) for the first time, and the highest removal efficiency was achieved when 1.0 g/L MBF was added to PAPW. In general, this contribution reveals that KOH OPF-hydrolysate could be used as a potential inexpensive carbon source for production of MBF by sustainable processes that could reduce environmental pollution .

Photocatalytic fibrous membranes are regarded as one of the most proficient materials for environmental remediation because of their excellent photocatalytic activity, porous structure, and outstanding recyclability. However, the poor dispersion performance of photocatalysts in the polymer matrix and the low migration ability to the surface constrain the development of this technology. In this study, a versatile strategy was developed to facilitate the design of hydrophilic nanofibrous membranes with promising photocatalytic activity and robust recyclability by combining the loaded rare earth element La 3+ modified TiO 2 photocatalyst, introducing hyperbranched polymers as dispersants within electro-centrifugal spinning, and applying post-treatment to construct hydrophilic sites. Significantly, the removal efficiency of the fibrous membrane materials on the dye wastewater was as high as 89.34 %, and the treatment efficiency can still reach 81.68 % after five cycles. In addition, the photocatalytic mechanism for the degradation of organic pollutants was also analyzed. This work provides a new method for building advanced photocatalytic nanofibrous membranes, which is expected to be used in the treatment and remediation of environmental wastewater.

Biomass-derived carbons have been extensively researched as electrode material for energy storage and conversion recently. However, most of the previous works convert crude biomass directly into carbon and the electrochemical capacitances for the resultant carbons are quite often underestimated as well as large variations in capacitances exist in literatures due to the complex nature of biomass, which practically hinder their applications. In this work, polysaccharide nanofibers were extracted from an inexpensive natural fungus using a hydrothermal method and were converted to porous carbon nanofibers (CNFs) by potassium hydroxide activation. The porous carbons were assembled into symmetric supercapacitors using both potassium hydroxide and an ionic liquid (IL) as electrolytes. Solid state nuclear magnetic resonance characterization showed that the micropores of the as-prepared carbons are accessible to the IL electrolyte when uncharged and thus high capacitance is expected. It is found in both electrolytes the electrochemical capacitances of CNFs are significantly higher than those of the porous carbon derived directly from the crude fungus. Furthermore, the CNFs delivered an extraordinary energy density of 92.3 Wh kg −1 in the IL electrolyte, making it a promising candidate for electrode materials for supercapacitors.

The first derivatives of gelatin and type I collagen fluorescence spectra were characterized in order to describe the effect of free radicals on pyridinoline (PYD) cross-links. The different gas saturation conditions were used to investigate the effect of different free radicals. An analysis of first derivative fluorescence spectra suggests that PYD cross-link fluorescence emission is composed of three peaks in gelatin, but only two in type I collagen. The PYD cross-link was photo-degraded more than other gases in the presence of O 2 . This suggests that the singlet oxygen ( 1 O 2 ) plays a key role when using photodynamic therapy to treat skin fibrosis disease with Hypocrellin B (HB).

A facile one-step solid-phase synthesis strategy is developed for synthesizing a binder-free molybdenum disulfide/carbon fibers paper (MoS 2 /CFP) anode. The microstructure, composition, morphology and electrochemical performances were investigated. It is found that the thin MoS 2 layers are well anchored on the interlaced carbon fibers to form MoS 2 /CFP, which has mesoporous structure and large specific surface area of ∼18.8 m 2 g -1 . As a result, the obtained MoS 2 /CFP anode exhibits a reversible capacity of 261 mAh·g −1 with 31.2% loading ratio of MoS 2 . After subtracting the capacity of CFP, the MoS 2 in the composite anode delivers a reversible capacity of 539 mAh·g −1 and shows better cycle stability than commercial MoS 2 after 100 cycles at 100 mA g −1 . The remarkable electrochemical performances could be attributed to the buffer space among carbon fibers for the volume changes of MoS 2 as well as the highly conductive carbon fibers network, suggesting that the MoS 2 /CFP is a promising binder-free anode for lithium-ion batteries.
