In this work, amphiphilic acrylicpimaric acid polyglycol ester (APAPG) was synthesized by steglich esterification method. The structure transformation and aggregation behaviors of APAPG in water were investigated by Rayleigh light scattering (RLS) technique in a heating and cooling cycle. For concentration above critical micelle concentration (CMC), a reversible transition from micelle to aggregation was observed. The structure transformation process involved irreversible aggregation and disaggregation processes at low temperature and a reversible aggregation process at high temperature when the concentration closed to CMC. Accordingly, the information about each structure transformation behavior in the concentration far below CMC during heating process including individual unimers, aggregation and disaggregation were thoroughly revealed. However, the structure transformation behavior is irreversible in the cooling process. The structure transformation and aggregation behaviors were assessed by dynamic light scattering (DLS), microcalorimetry and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques. The results indicate that the RLS technique can provide detailed information about structural evolution at molecular level of polymer chains.

Mechanochromic polymers can change their color in response to external force and have shown promising applications in stress sensing and failure warning. They are usually obtained as thin films or bulky specimens. The mechanochromic fibers, which can be used to make smart fabrics, have been seldom reported due to the lack of efficient fabrication techniques. In this work, a general method using photo-polymerization of microgel solution in a template tube to produce mechanochromic hydrogel fibers is reported. The obtained hydrogel fibers can generate visible and fluorescent color changes upon deformation. The diameter of the mechanochromic fibers can be easily adjusted by using different template tubes. The mechanochromic fibers can be fabricated as long as 1 m. By reducing the fiber diameter or increasing the microgel concentration, the mechanical properties of the mechanochromic fibers can be improved, leading to more obvious mechanochromic behavior. The polymethacrylate (PMA) is further used to coat the hydrogel fibers, prevent the loss of water in the fibers, and increase the storage time. The mechanochromic fibers with multiple fluorescent colors are further fabricated by utilizing different microgel solutions. This work provides an easy and effective method to fabricate mechanochromic fibers with different color change abilities.

High-performance polymer electrolytes with the capability to self-heal mechanical damage can effectively enhance reliability, safety and service life of the batteries. Herein, a novel polymer electrolyte (PBPE) with excellent self-healing capacity and high ionic conductivity was developed. PBPE with polymer networks cross-linked by highly reversible imine bonds was fabricated by the Schiff-base reaction between poly(ethylene glycol) diamine and benzene-1,3,5-tricarbaldehyde. PBPE can quickly repair the cut damage spontaneously within 1 h at room temperature and recover its mechanical strength and electrochemical properties. The healed PBPE exhibits almost the same ionic conductivities and mechanical properties as the original PBPE shows. PBPE possesses the highest ionic conductivity (4.79 × 10 −3 S cm −1 at 30 °C) among the self-healing polymer electrolytes. PBPE can promote the generation of LiF-rich SEI and effectively suppress dendrite growth on Li metal anodes. LiFePO 4 (LFP) cells assembled with PBPE exhibit excellent rate capability (discharge capacity of 118.2 mAh g −1 at 5 C rate) and good cycling performance (capacity retention of 97.8% over 125 cycles). More importantly, the healed PBPE can completely recover its properties from damage in LFP cells and enable the cells to possess cycle performance identical to original PBPE.

A simple and convenient on-line molecular imprinted solid-phase extraction flow-injection fluorescence sensor was developed in this study. Florfenicol (FF)-imprinted polymer was prepared by self-assembly with acrylamide (AM) as functional monomer and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) as cross-linker. The binding characteristics of the imprinted polymer to florfenicol were evaluated by equilibrium binding experiments, and the morphology of the imprinted polymer was studied by scanning electron microscope (SEM). Fluorescence intensity of 3-p-nitrylphenyl-5-(2′-sulfonophenylazo) rhodanine (4NRASP) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) was inhibited by FF. Under optimum conditions the intensity of fluorescence shows a linear relationship with the concentration of FF over the range of 1.2 × 10 −6 to 2.6 × 10 −5 g mL −1 with a regression equation of Δ I = 23.54 + 17.86 c ( c 10 −6 g mL −1 ) ( r = 0.9965, n = 6). The low detection limit of FF was found to be 3.4 × 10 −7 g mL −1 according to 11 parallel determinations for the blank solution. The relative standard deviation for the determination of 2.0 × 10 −6 g mL −1 FF solution was 3.5% ( n = 11). This proposed sensor could be satisfactorily applied to the determination of FF in liver and meat samples.

A series of amphiphilic PDMAEMA–SS–PCL chains with variable ratios of hydrophilic poly(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate) (PDMAEMA) to hydrophobic poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) were prepared via ring-opening polymerization, in which the two different moieties were linked via a disulfide bond with reduction responsiveness. After cross-linking by the photodegradable o-nitrobenzyl linkage, the amphiphilic chains could self-assemble into microspheres, branched cylindrical micelles and vesicles, which were responsive to the reduction agent DL-dithiothreitol and UV light irradiation through different mechanisms.

The intellectualization and complication of existing self-shaping materials are limited by the inseparable monotonic relationship between their deformation rate and deformation degree (i.e., a higher deformation rate is accompanied by a high deformation degree). This causes that they can only deform from 2D to 3D states. Here, a simple yet versatile strategy to decouple the monotonic correlation between the deformation rate and deformation degree of self-shaping hydrogels is presented for achieving complex deformations from 2D to temporary 3D to 3D (2D-to-4D). It is demonstrated that when the gradient hydrogels prepared by photopolymerization possess dense polymer networks, the local regions with a high deformation rate can exhibit a low deformation degree. The resulting hydrogels can thus deform in a novel 2D-to-4D mode under external stimuli. During the deformation, they first transform into the temporary shapes induced by the local deformation rate difference, and then transform into the final shapes determined by the local deformation degree difference. Through controlling the ultraviolet irradiation direction and time to precisely program the local gradients of self-shaping hydrogels, they can be designed to produce various unprecedented yet controllable 2D-to-4D shape evolutions on demand, such as transformable origami, sequential gesture actions in finger-guessing games, mobile octopuses, time switch, etc.

Evolutions of drop/particle size and size distribution in liquid–liquid dispersions and suspension polymerizations of methyl methacrylate (MMA) were monitored by using an online optical reflectance measurement (ORM), and effects of operating parameters such as the agitation rate, concentration of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) dispersant, and initial concentration of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) in MMA monomer on the Sauter mean diameter ( d 32 ) and size distribution of drop/particle were investigated. According to the variations of d 32 of drops/particles with time, four characteristic particle formation stages can be identified for suspension polymerization process. The factors that lead to increase the rate of drop break up, such as increasing of concentration of PVA and decreasing of viscosity of dispersed phase, would postpone the particle growth stage. The d 32 and size distribution breadth of drops/particles were significant increased when the liquid–liquid dispersions or suspension polymerizations were conducted at low PVA concentrations or MMA/PMMA solutions with high PMMA contents were used as the dispersed phase, in consistent with the scanning electron micrograph observation on final PMMA particles. It is clear that ORM can be effectively applied in online monitoring of size and size distribution of drops/particles in the liquid–liquid dispersions and suspension polymerizations. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Emerging organic synaptic devices are promising in exploring soft and biocompatible neuromorphic computing systems. By means of a simple and low-cost solution process, the polymer thin-film memristors are designed and characterized. The polymer memristors have a bilayer structure composed of an ion-rich semiconducting layer and an ion-collecting conducting layer, where the ion redistribution depending on device operation history has an impact on carrier concentration and results in the memristive characteristics. A visible electrochromic feature is observed during the electrical measurements, supporting the proposed Li + ion drift/diffusion mechanism. The polymer memristors show the continuous and reversible conductivity tuning with a temporary memory effect, which enables the successful emulation of the frequency-dependent synaptic plasticity. The polymer thin-film memristors may offer a strategy for developing building blocks of organic neuromorphic circuits.

Ferreous polymer-derived SiCN ceramics (PDCs-SiCN(Fe)) were successfully synthesized by precursor conversion method. The phase composition and microstructure of the obtained products were investigated by XRD , SEM and TEM . The result indicated a mainly amorphous structure with a few α-Fe,and graphite phases in the gaps. The conductivity, electromagnetic parameters and wave absorbing properties of the prepared ceramics were studied at the frequency band from 2 to 18 GHz. The reflectance of PDCs-SiCN(Fe) was about −10 dB (> 90% absorption) in the range of 4–16 GHz with 25 wt% nano-Fe 2 O 3 addition at the thickness 8 mm. The maximum value of dielectric and magnetic loss angle tangent was about 1.5, indicating PDCs-SiCN(Fe) ceramics possessed good absorption performance .

A series of pH-temperature dual stimuli-responsive random copolymers poly[ N,N -dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate- co -poly(poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate][poly(DMAEMA- co -MPEGMA)] were synthesized by free radical polymerization. The supramolecular hydrogel was formed by pseudopolyrotaxane, which was prepared with the host-guest interactions between α-cyclodextrin (α-CD) and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) side chains. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), nuclear magnetic resonance ( 1 H NMR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirmed the structures of the hydrogels. The pH-temperature dual stimuli responsive properties of the hydrogels were characterized by rheometer. Finally, the controllable drug release behavior of the hydrogel, which was used 5-fluorouracil (5-Fu) as the model drug, was investigated at different temperatures and different pH values. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

As a polymer host, one polymeric ionic liquid poly(methyl methacrylate-1-vinyl-3-ethyl-imidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide) (abbr. P(MMA-co-VEImTFSI)) was successfully synthesized and characterized. Four poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (abbr. PVDF-HFP)-based polymer electrolytes were prepared by blending 0, 5,15, and 25 wt% P(MMA-co-VEImTFSI). The electrochemical performances of the prepared electrolytes were studied carefully. The results revealed that increasing the polymeric ionic liquid content, the ionic conductivity of the polymer electrolytes could be enhanced and it obeyed the Arrhenius rule. The highest ionic conductivity of the polymer electrolytes was up to 2.09 × 10 −3 S cm −1 at room temperature. The polymer with 25 wt% polymeric ionic liquid showed an excellent electrochemical performance for supercapacitor electrolyte. After 2000 cycles, the retention of capacitance in P(MMA-co-VEImTFSI)-based polymer electrolyte was above 80%. It implied that the present P(MMA-co-VEImTFSI) polymeric ionic liquid was a decent component candidate in the high-performance polymer electrolytes.

The water-soluble protein was extracted from Moringa oleifera seed press cake and tested its performance as a natural coagulant for removing humic acid (HA) from water solution when comparing to polyaluminum chloride (PAC), a commercial coagulant. Influencing factors including pH, coagulant dosage, temperature and suspended solid were investigated in this study. The results indicated that the coagulating efficiencies of HA using the Moringa oleifera seed protein (MOSP) were better than those by PAC under all the experimental conditions at the same dosage. MOSP could increase the zeta potential more efficiently than PAC. The Fourier transform infrared spectra revealed that no new compounds were generated during the coagulation process. Hence, adsorption and charge neutralization could be the main mechanism contributing to the HA removal using MOSP as coagulant. MOSP is an ideal natural coagulant for HA removal.
