Waterproofing layers play a pivotal role in tunnel engineering and building basements. Magnesium acrylate (CA-Mg 2 ) shot-membrane waterproofing materials- commonly used as a waterproof layer- is a type of hydrogel. Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) solution subjected to freezing/thawing treatment has been added to a CA-Mg 2 monomer, resulting in the formation of a CA-Mg 2 /PVA interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) hydrogel which can produced by a redox initiation system. This new IPN hydrogel contains not only a CA-Mg 2 network formed with Mg 2+ coordination bonds, but also a PVA network created by hydrogen bonding between hydroxyl groups. In comparison to CA-Mg 2 hydrogels, the fracture stress of the CA-Mg 2 /PVA hydrogel increased from 0.45 MPa to 0.72 MPa, elongation from 602% to 854%, and the self-healing efficiency of the IPN hydrogel reached 99.9% over 3 h. A new shot-membrane waterproofing materials based on the CA-Mg 2 /PVA hydrogel was prepared and its fracture stress was 1.44 MPa, and self-healing efficiency 80%, at 3 h. In addition, damage to the hydrogel could be repaired repeatedly.

Blending with poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and poly(oxyphenylene sulfone) (PESf) has been investigated to improve the properties of a polymer electrolyte based on a poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) matrix. The composite electrolyte shows a high ionic conductivity of 0.83 × 10−3 S cm−1 at 60 °C due to the significant inhibition of crystallization caused by the synergistic effects of PVA and PESf. The symmetrical cell Li/CPE/Li is continuously operated for at least 200 hours at a current density of 0.1 mA cm−2 without the enhancement in the polarization potential. In addition, the all-solid-state LiFePO4/CPE/Li cells exhibit small hysteresis potential (about 0.10 V), good cycle stability and excellent reversible capacity (126 mA h g−1 after 100 cycles).

Controllable regulation of cell behavior is one of the most important factors conducive to the restoration of tissue functions. Recently, various strategies have been developed using physical or chemical cues. Although these techniques are effective, the high cost and complex fabrication procedures impede their application. In this study, we used a low cost and simple strategy to fabricate PVA/silk fibroin composite hydrogels using a cyclic freeze-thaw method. With the increase of freeze-thaw cycles, the pore size of hydrogels decreased, the elastic modulus increased, and the swelling rate decreased. Furthermore, we chose two shapes of model cells, a spindle using bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and smooth muscle cells, and a round shape using BV2 microglial cells. PVA/silk fibroin composite hydrogels inhibited the adhesion and proliferation of stem cells and muscle cells and changed their cell shape from spindle to round, maintained the initial round shape of BV2 microglial cells, and promoted the proliferation of BV2 microglial cells. These results demonstrate that PVA/silk fibroin composite hydrogels can be used as a novel hydrogel system to regulate cell behavior.

Bacterial infections are closely in correlation with chronic wounds, and overcoming these problems is still challenging. Herein, a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogel incorporated with reduced graphene oxide (RGO)/MoS 2 /Ag 3 PO 4 composites is fabricated for highly efficient sterilization during wound healing under light irradiation. RGO/MoS 2 /Ag 3 PO 4 composite is first prepared by a two-step process containing hydrazine reduction and in-situ deposition, then the hybrid hydrogel is prepared using a freeze-thaw cycle method. After doping with RGO/MoS 2 /Ag 3 PO 4 composite, the hydrogel shows better mechanical property and swelling ratio. The hybrid hydrogel also exhibits excellent antibacterial properties against both Staphylococcus aureus ( S. aureus ) and Escherichia coli ( E. coli ) under co-irradiation of 660 nm visible light (VL) and 808 nm near-infrared (NIR) light within 10 min because of the synergistic effects rendered by the photodynamic and photothermal antibacterial treatments. The introduction of RGO/MoS 2 /Ag 3 PO 4 composite has no appreciable influence on the cell viability and cell morphology. Importantly, the hybrid hydrogel effectively reduces the bacterial infection-related inflammation during wound healing. Thus, this RGO/MoS 2 /Ag 3 PO 4 -incorporated hydrogel has great potential in antibacterial wound healing dressing.

Enriched selective adsorption-photocatalytic activity of Poly (vinyl alcohol)/Polyaniline/TiO 2 (PVA/PANI/TiO 2 , noted as PAT) recyclable hydrogel photocatalyst with 3D structures were prepared by self-assembling and electron beam radiation crosslingking method. TiO 2 nanoparticles were successfully introduced into the 3D matrix of the PVA/PANI hydrogel and manifested by FTIR, TG, XRD, XPS, and SEM-EDS. The microstructure of PAT was characterized further by SEM, TEM, and BET. The highly selective adsorption-photocatalytic activity of PAT was tested by the degradation of cationic or anionic dye and reduction of heavy metal ion in a closed and flow system under UV light irradiation. The results showed that PAT had a highest selective adsorption-photocatalytic performance at the appropriate content of PVA (10 wt %), TiO 2 (15 wt %) and suitable radiation dose (50 kGy), which could be attributed to the synergistic effect of excellent selective adsorption and effective photocatalytic degradation. The mechanism of selective adsorption-photocatalytic on PAT was revealed synchronously in this study. Particularly, the novel PAT photocatalyst with 3D network structure also affords ease of separation and recycling, which is beneficial to water purification in a flow system. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The rapid development of optoelectronic devices puts forward higher requirements for flexible transparent films with good mechanical and thermal properties. To further improve the mechanical, thermal and optical properties of the PVA-co-PE nanofiber reinforced epoxy composite film, cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) was selected as modifier to enhance the interfacial adhesion between the reinforced nanofibers and matrix. Benefiting from excellent hydrophily, high strength , transparency and ultra-low thermal expansion coefficient (CTE) of CNCs, dramatic improvements in tensile strength , transparency and thermal stability of CNCs/PVA-co-PE/epoxy composites were observed over pure PVA-co-PE nanofiber/epoxy film. Typically, when the CNCs concentration was 3%, the transparency of CNCs/PVA-co-PE/epoxy film increased from 83.4% to 90.4%, the tensile strength increased from 11.4 MPa to 16.4 MPa, the CTE dropped from 33 to 10 ppm/K. Furthermore, as the reinforcement for matrix and the carrier for functional materials , the CNCs/PVA-co-PE nanofiber membrane was used to prepare the patterned photochromic and thermochromic films encapsulated with epoxy, indicating the potential application of CNCs/PVA-co-PE/epoxy composites in the light emitting devices .

In this study, chitosan (CS) nanofibers with two different degrees of deacetylation (DDA) were first successfully fabricated from its solution in 1% aqueous acetic acid solution by mixing with poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) solution at a weight ratio of 50/50 via the electrospinning method. Then, the CS/PVA membranes were further modified by glutaraldehyde vapor. The prepared nanofibers were characterized by field electron scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), the tensile test, the contact angle test, the weight loss test and the adsorption test for Congo red (CR). SEM analysis showed defect-free nanofibers and a uniform diameter distribution, with an average diameter of 100–125 nm. Subsequently, FTIR spectroscopy, XRD and TGA indicated that the modified CS/PVA membranes had a relatively higher thermal stability, because the thermal decomposition temperature of the unmodified CS/PVA membranes (~250°C) increased to a higher temperature (~ 300°C) for the modified CS/PVA. The nanofiber membranes after modification possessed better mechanical tensile properties. The membranes with lower DDA had a relatively higher tensile strength, which can withstand the maximum tensile strength of up to 6.36 MPa. Furthermore, the resulting membranes showed excellent hydrophilicity and kept their stability in distilled water, acidic, and basic media for 20 days. In the adsorption study, the maximum adsorption capacity of the membrane for CR was 358 mg/l in the optimum operating conditions of 25°C, pH = 6, 0.3 g membrane and 50 ml of 100 mg/l CR solutions. The resulting nanofibers membranes showed a better fitting to the Langmuir isotherm model and pseudo-second-order kinetic model.

MXene materials exhibit substantial energy storage capabilities owing to their high specific surface areas, tunable interlayer spacings, and excellent electrical conductivities. However, these layers are prone to re-stacking, negatively affecting the energy storage capacity of the material. Herein, through a process involving liquid nitrogen-assisted freeze-drying and subsequent annealing, Ti 3 C 2 T x nanosheets were combined with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) polymer chains via hydrogen bonding to produce MXene and PVA-derived carbon composite aerogels (MPAs) with microstructures ranging from ordered to disordered arrangements. The incorporation of PVA inhibited nanosheet stacking, and PVA carbonization enhanced the electrical conductivity of the aerogel. The carbonized aerogel (MPA2.0) exhibited a larger specific capacitance along with a more disordered and denser microstructure, thereby accounting for the increased capacitance due to enhanced ion storage in the more structurally disordered carbon nanopores. The optimized MPA aerogel demonstrated a high power density, along with an excellent specific capacitance (MPA2.0 = 348.14 F g −1 , 2 mV s −1 scan rate), and a cycling stability of 92.52 % after 10,000 charge/discharge cycles. Furthermore, the MPA2.0-based supercapacitor obtained an impressive energy density (37.8 Wh kg −1 ) and an exceptionally high power density (1800 W kg −1 ) at a current density of 1 A g −1 . By adjusting the PVA loading, the shrinkage and stress–strain characteristics of the microstructure during freeze-drying and carbonization were altered, and the microstructural orientation of the resulting aerogels was controlled. The increased disorder in the aerogel enhanced its capacitor energy storage ability, providing a new approach for the design of multi-component high-performance hybrid supercapacitor electrodes.

The development of continuously degradable and recyclable polymeric composites with superb mechanical properties, which can extend the service life of materials and reduce the environmental impact, will make a significant contribution to global sustainability. In this study, poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)-based composites (D-PVA-Fe-TA) with degradability, recyclability and excellent mechanical properties are prepared by complexation of 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde-grafted PVA (D-PVA), tannin (TA) and Fe 3+ ions in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), and then dialysis in deionized water and glycerol (Gly). The two-step dialysis process, playing a crucial role in reducing the free water of D-PVA-Fe-TA composites, enhances the formation of reversible of hydrogen-bonding and the reinforcement of self-assembled Fe 3+ -chelation between TA and D-PVA, and facilitates the fabrication of PVA-based composites with a breaking strength of ≈ 18.7 MPa, an elongation at break of ∼ 812 % and a toughness of ≈ 86.81 MJ/m 3 ; Meanwhile, the resulting homogeneous and dense structure of D-PVA-Fe-TA composites hinders the penetration of Gly solution, thereby enhancing the bonding strength and environmental adaptability of D-PVA-TA-Fe composites within the temperature range of −20℃ to 60℃. Furthermore, the as-prepared D-PVA-TA-Fe composites exhibit recyclability for multiple cycles. When placed under soil culture medium, the resulting composites can be degraded without the need for manual interference. This study presents a novel strategy for the fabrication of materials possessing excellent mechanical strength, environmental adaptability, recyclability and degradation, which have great potential for taking the place of conversional composites in specific conditions.

Lignin, as an amorphous three-dimensional aromatic polymer, was able to self-assemble into lignin nanoparticles (LNPs) to realize valorization of lignin. Here, lignin-xylan extractives were extracted from grape seed (GS) and poplar by acidic THF at room temperature, and effectively produced lignin-xylan nanospheres via spin evaporation. The morphology and chemical properties of nanospheres were determined by its natural origins, consequently influencing its application. For the lignin-xylan extractive from grape seed, the lignin was composed of guaiacyl (G) and p -hydroxylphenyl (H) units and the hollowed nanospheres (GS-LNPs) with 362.72 nm diameter was produced. The extractive from poplar was composed of G-syringyl (S) typed lignin (80.30 %) and xylan (12.33 %), that can assemble into LNPs with smaller size (229.87 nm), better PDI (0.1), and light color. The hybrid particles showed the qualities of lignin and xylan, that properties led to the LNPs@PVA composite films with UV-blocking capability, strong mechanical strength and hydrophobicity, and transparency ability of visible light. P-LNPs showed better performance as the film additives, due to its lower particles size and high content of unconjugated -OH from xylan. Xylan was significant in the composite films, and lowering the xylan content resulted in the decrease of the composite film's mechanical properties and hydrophobicity.

Liquid metal (LM) is a promising candidate for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding due to its exceptional electrical conductivity and ease of processing. However, the high surface tension of LM leads to poor compatibility with polymers, significantly hindering its application in EMI shielding. Here, Al 2 O 3 @LM/borax crosslinked PVA (Al 2 O 3 @LM/BCP) aerogel is prepared using mechanical grinding, melting crosslinking, and directional freeze-drying techniques. The core–shell structure of Al 2 O 3 @LM, prepared by mechanical grinding, effectively reduces the high surface tension of LM, enhancing compatibility with the PVA matrix. Due to its freeze-dried porous structure and superior LM conductivity, the Al 2 O 3 @LM/BCP composite aerogel exhibits outstanding electrical conductivity of 312.5 S/m, efficient electromagnetic interference shielding efficiency (EMI SE) of 80.9 dB, and an excellent SEA/SET ratio of 83.9 %. This work offers a straightforward strategy for developing EMI shielding aerogels with excellent mechanical properties for EMI protection applications.
