A novel type of physical hydrogel based on dual-crosslinked strategy is successfully synthesized by micellar copolymerization of stearyl methacrylate, acrylamide, and acrylic acid, and subsequent introduction of Fe 3+ . Strong hydrophobic associations among poly(stearyl methacrylate) blocks form the first crosslinking point and ionic coordination bonds between carboxyl groups and Fe 3+ serve as the second crosslinking point. The mechanical properties of the hydrogel can be tuned in a wide range by controlling the densities of two crosslinks. The optimal hydrogel shows excellent mechanical properties (tensile strength of ≈6.8 MPa, elastic modulus of ≈8.0 MPa, elongation of ≈1000%, toughness of 53 MJ m −3 ) and good self-recovery property. Furthermore, owing to stimuli responsiveness of physical interaction, this hydrogel also shows a triple shape memory effect. The combination of two different physical interactions in a single network provides a general strategy for designing of high-strength hydrogels with functionalities.

A novel family of multi-responsive, tough, and reversible hydrogels were prepared by the combination of dipole-dipole interaction, hydrogen bonding interaction and slightly chemical cross-linking, using monomers of acrylonitrile, sodium allylsulfonate and itaconic acid. Reversible gel-sol transition was achieved by the flexible conversion of the dipole-dipole interactions between acrylonitrile-acrylonitrile and acrylonitrile-sodium thiocyanate, and the hydrogels could freely form desired shapes. The dipole-dipole and hydrogen bonding interactions improved the mechanical strength of the hydrogels with a compressive stress of 2.38 MPa. Meanwhile, the hydrogels sustained cyclic compressive tests with 60% strain, and exhibited excellent elastic property. The hydrogels were sensitive to pH and ionic strength, and could keep their perfect spherical structures without any obvious cracks even after immersing in strong ionic strength (or pH) solution for several reversible cycles. Furthermore, the hydrogels were recycled for environmental pollution remediation, and showed great potential to be applied in water treatments and other related fields.

Although the recycling and reuse of polyurethane foam (PUF) is a promising route to deal with this type of waste commodity polymer, highly efficient and green processing protocols are a great challenge due to their stable crosslink structure. In this study, a strategy of urethane exchange reactions was proposed to transform commercial rigid PUF into PUF sheets. The process was composed of the pulverization of the foam, the pretreatment method and the hot pressing. The effects of the pretreatment method on the structure and properties of the recycled commercial PUF were studied. The results show that the ball milling pretreatment method can effectively pulverize the commercial PUF into powder of 74.5 µm and a specific surface area as high as 2991.0 m 2 /kg, which can promote the urethane exchange reaction in close contact with the catalyst. The recycle method of ball milling pretreatment makes the crosslink density and tensile strength of the PUF sheets reach 2236.8 mol/m 3 and 32.6 MPa, which means an increase of 9.9 times and 3.3 times, respectively, compared to the method of other pretreatment. Moreover, PUF sheets can still maintain 71.5% of the tensile strength after two cycles of recycling, indicating the potential of this recycling method for PUF. This simple and efficient method enhances the sustainability of rigid PUF utilization and shows the enormous potential for value-added recycling of thermosets .

All-solid-state lithium batteries (ASSLBs) are highly promising as next-generation energy storage devices owing to their potential for great safety and high energy density. This work demonstrates that composite solid polymer electrolyte with vertically-aligned card-house structure can simultaneously improve the high rate and long-term cycling performance of ASSLBs. The vertical alignment of laponite nanosheets creates fast and uniform Li + ion transport channels at the nanosheets/polymer interphase, resulting in high ionic conductivity of 8.9 × 10 −4 S cm −1 and Li + transference number of 0.32 at 60 °C, as well as uniformly distributed solid electrolyte interphase. Such electrolyte is characterized by high mechanical strength, low flammability, excellent structural stability and stable ion transport channels. In addition, the ASSLB cell with the electrolyte and LiFePO 4 cathode delivers a high discharge specific capacity of 124.8 mAh g −1 , which accounts for 85.6% of its initial capacity after 500 cycles at 1C. The reasonable design through structural control strategy by interconnecting the vertically-aligned nanosheets open a way to fabricate high performance composite solid polymer electrolytes.

Maillard reaction products (MRPs) were prepared by reacting both Yak and Holstein casein with different ratios of glucose to casein from 0:1 to 2.5:1. The results showed that the content of intermediate products and browning intensity of the Yak casein-glucose system increased with increasing concentrations of glucose, but were lower than for the Holstein system at the same ratio. With glycosylation, the reducing power and the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activity of both Yak and Holstein caseins were enhanced. With increased glucose content, the reducing power of Yak MRPs increased at the same concentration. The metal chelating activity of Holstein MRPs decreased or was eliminated in the ratio range of 0.5:1 to 2.0:1 g glucose g −1 casein, while that of Yak MRPs were reduced in general. Improvement of the inhibitory activity for Yak casein was lower than that of Holstein casein after glycosylation by glucose.
