To assure the safety of the lithium-ion battery, the separator is required to have good thermal stability. Because the single-layer polyethylene (PE) separator can only tolerate a temperature of 130°C, it is seldom employed currently by lithium-ion battery manufacturers although its cost is low. In this article, we modified PE separator chain structure through solid-state ultraviolet (UV) irradiation method to achieve a separator with composite structure of ∼40% crystallized PE and ∼70% gel content. Approximately 40% crystallized PE chains fulfill the task of auto-shutdown at 130°C through melting and filling the pores. At the same time, the PE separator can maintain integrity till 220°C because of its highly cross-linked chain structure. Besides, the modified PE separator is hydrophilic with a water contact angle of 33° after UV treatment and is able to absorb more electrolyte. However, the tensile strength and elongation at the break decreased because the cross-linking network increased the rigidity. Nevertheless, these values still meet the requirements as the separator for lithium-ion battery. Considering the low cost and easy preparation, current cross-linked PE separator has potential to be used in lithium-ion batteries for various applications, including electric vehicles and energy storage purpose. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Polyamide is an engineering plastic, which has been widely used in industry and life. Polyamide 56, as a green and environmentally friendly bio-based product, is gradually replacing traditional petroleum-based products. However, in terms of auto parts, communication equipment, and mechanical products, a single polyamide monomer is difficult to meet the end-use standard. EPDM-g-MAH (ethylene propylene diene monomer grafted with maleic anhydride) is melt blended with bio-based polyamide 56 (PA56) in a twin-screw extruder to obtain polyamide elastomers with different formulations. Subsequently, its morphology and structure, thermodynamic properties, crystallinity, and mechanical properties were analyzed. The test results show that the composites containing 10% EPDM-g-MAH have better impact resistance and thermal properties in the range of adding 0‑20 wt% EPDM-g-MAH. In the fracture morphology analysis, it is found that the interface between the rubber phase and the polyamide phase fused well, and the elastomer showed the ductile fracture.

Electrospun nanofibers have attracted tremendous attention because of their similar structure with extracellular matrix. In this work, the polydopamine (PDA) coating layer was first applied to modify hydroxyapatite (HA) nanoparticles and obtain functional HA@PDA nanoparticles. Subsequently, the polylactic acid (PLA)/HA@PDA composite nanofibers were prepared via electrospinning. The hydrophilicity and water absorption of PLA/HA@PDA composite nanofibers were larger than those of PLA and PLA/HA composite nanofibers. The thermal stability, static and dynamic mechanical properties of PLA/HA@PDA composite nanofibers significantly increased because the PDA coating layer on the surface of the HA nanoparticles acted like a glue-like transition layer, which led to an increase in interfacial adhesion between HA@PDA nanoparticles and the PLA matrix. The attachment and viability of mouse embryonic osteoblast cells (MC3T3-E1) cultured on the PLA/HA@PDA composite nanofibers were significantly increased compared with those cultured on the PLA and PLA/HA composite nanofibers. These results suggested that the PLA/HA@PDA composite nanofibers have superior mechanical and biological properties, which makes it potentially useful for tissue engineering scaffolds.

Fluorinated organic–inorganic hybrid coatings with interpenetrating network for corrosion protection of tinplate were prepared by hydrolysis and condensation reaction of tetraethoxysilane and 3-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane, followed by radical polymerization of trimethylolpropane triacrylate dodecafluoroheptyl methacrylate. The highly crosslinked organic network was developed and attached to the inorganic moieties through covalent Si–C bonds. The hybrid coatings were characterized by scanning electron microscope, water contact angle, Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. Their anticorrosion performances were evaluated by potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and salt spray test. The results indicated that the fluorinated hybrid coatings exhibited excellent anticorrosion ability by forming a hydrophobic physical barrier between tinplate substrate and its external environment. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A novel phosphorous/benzene-containing flame-retardant diphenyl phosphoryl polyethylene (PEP) is synthesized from ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymer with two steps reactions and its chemical structure is characterized by Fourier transform infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopies. The grafted molecular dispersion is calculated by gel permeation chromatography and the phase transition is analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry. And results show its promising processability potential. High density polyethylene (HDPE) composite containing 15 wt% PEP is prepared by melt blending, and its fire performance and thermal behaviors are investigated in terms of limiting oxygen index (LOI), vertical burning (UL-94) and thermogravimetric analysis. There is a 16% increase to 20.2 in the LOI value of PEP, while it fails the UL-94 test. The char morphology is characterized by scanning electronic microscopy and observed multi-layered intumescent residue char effectively reduces the transfer of heat and oxygen. The major degradation is quantitively analyzed by the Flynn-Wall-Ozawa method. The results demonstrate that there is a catalytic effect by the phosphorous substance in char formation. Finally, the mechanical properties tests show that the loss due to the addition is small, which signifies the good compatibility between the pure HDPE and the grafted addition.

Graphene-based composite is promising as thermal interface material (TIM) due to its outstanding thermal properties. However, there are some bottlenecks to excellent performance, such as agglomeration of particles and undesirable voids between nanoplatelets. In this work, a composite with three-dimensional (3D) thermally conductive network has been assembled, which combines three kinds of nanofillers varying geometric dimensions. Thermal conductivity (TC) of composite with graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) and carbon-nanotubes (CNTs) at a weight ratio of 3:1 is around 9% higher than that of GNP-based composite. By the introduction of carbon spheres (CSs), the TC is further increased by 28%. The enhanced thermal property further demonstrated by FLIR infrared camera is attributed to the formation of 3D heat conduction paths by GNPs, CNTs, and CSs, where the GNPs play the role of thermally conductive backbones. The other two components are introduced to attenuate the aggregation and strong thermal anisotropy. Moreover, the TC is confirmed nearly isotropic, which is different from most graphene-based TIMs because of the in-plane alignment. Our results indicate that the apparent synergy endows this 3D nanofiller great potential for heat dissipation applications requiring heat removal in two directions.

An amino-hydroxy-functionalized strongly fluorescent hybrid silicon quantum dots (znoSiQDs) were prepared by a green and simple method. Waterborne polyurethane-based hybrid fluorescent silicon Quantum dots (znoSiQDs-WPU) was prepared by a modified acetone method using znoSiQDs as chain extender. The structure and properties were also investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA), fluorescence spectroscopy (FL), and so on. ZnoSiQDs was successfully connected to the polyurethane backbone by covalent bonding. ZnoSiQDs-WPU can effectively shield UV in the range of 300–400 nm. Compared with WPU, the UV shielding range of znoSiQDs-WPU is significantly larger, attributed to the direct band gap transition Γ → Γ. The fluorescence intensity of znoSiQDs-WPU was dramatically enhanced compared with that of znoSiQDs. Compared with znoSiQDs, the maximum emission peak of znoSiQDs-WPU is blue shifted at about 18 nm, which was related to the increased polarity of the imidazole chromophore. The luminous life of znoSiQDs-WPU is up to 6.58 ns. The thermal stability of znoSiQDs-WPU is improved by bonding znoSiQDs to the main chains of WPU. Furthermore, it is water as a solvent, especially suitable for safety, green, environment amity of materials.

The photo-induced cis-trans isomerization of azobenzene molecules, known for their significant color changes, is extensively utilized in the functional modification of polymeric materials. However, the research on the functionalization of biomass-based polyesters with azobenzene is limited. A key raw material for biomass-based coatings possess reactive double bonds and excellent film-forming capabilities, offering significant advantages for azobenzene functionalization in biomass-based polyester applications. In this study, AESO served as the polyester matrix and acrylate azobenzene derivatives as the functional molecules. Under ultraviolet radiation, AESO underwent a carbon–carbon crosslinking reaction with the azobenzene derivatives to synthesize a novel resin. The coating of this resin on a PET substrate exhibited excellent pencil hardness (3B), adhesion (5B), and solvent resistance. By alternating exposure to ultraviolet and blue light, the coating displayed reversible switching between cis and trans isomers, enabling reversible writing and erasing of patterns. Even after 20 cycles of writing and erasing, high-resolution patterns could still be observed (clearly visible under a 12x microscope). Furthermore, the image could be retained for up to 2 h under sunlight irradiation. This study presents a new method for functionalizing biobased polyesters.

A fluorescence imaging system is designed based on the photodecomposition of photobase generators embedded in polyvinyl butyral (PVB) matrix. These photobase generators were synthesized with propyl and phenethyl units served as leaving groups, and phthalimido, succinimido, di-2-thienyl ketoximino, and benzophenoneoximino units acted as photosensitive species, respectively. The influences of the two leaving groups and four photosensitive species on the photochemical behavior were investigated in detail. The results demonstrate that the photochemical properties of these photobase generators depend on the photosensitive species other than the leaving groups. And further study shows that succinimido propylcarbamate (SPrC) exhibits the best thermal stability and relatively quick rate of photodecomposition among all the photobase generators. Therefore, a PVB film embedded with SPrC is used as a fluorescence imaging material. The patterned fluorescence image obtained from the fluorescamine-treated irradiated PVB film showed bright green fluorescence, which provides potential application for optical storage or color electronic displays. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Two phosphorylated chitosan derivatives with a similar degree of substitution of about 0.5 were synthesized via either the esterification of chitosan's hydroxyl groups by P 2 O 5 in methanesulfonic acid or the selective incorporation of methylene phosphonic groups on chitosan's amino groups by formaldehyde/H 3 PO 3 in water. The performances of the resulting O -phosphorylated chitosan (OPC) and N -methylene phosphonic chitosan (NMPC) as amphoteric flocculants were assessed in comparison with that of unmodified chitosan. In turbidity removal experiments using kaolin suspensions in water, OPC removed about 90% turbidity, but NMPC only removed 60%. The lower flocculation efficiency of NMPC was attributed to the decreased acid strength of the N -methylene phosphate groups in NMPC. These results revealed that the acidity of the phosphate groups introduced in the modified chitosans is an important factor with regard to the flocculation efficiency, and consequently that O-phosphorylation is more suitable than N-phosphorylation for preparing chitosan-based amphoteric flocculants. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

An amphiphilic block copolymer PNIPAM 53 - b -(PS 30 - co -P4AMS 10 ) was facilely prepared by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. The immobilization of ( S )-α,α-diphenylprolinol trimethylsilyl ether onto the block copolymers was then performed through using copper-catalyzed alkyne-azide cycloaddition (CuAAC), and the generating amphiphilic diblock copolymer supported chiral catalyst PNIPAM 53 - b -(PS 30 - co -P4AMS 10 )/proTMS was self-assembled into micelles with regular diameters about 50 nm in aqueous solution. The micellar catalyst was further used for the asymmetric Michael reaction between propanal and trans -β-nitrostyrene in water. Using only 1 mol% micellar catalyst, the corresponding Michael addition products could be obtained in good yields and high enantioselectivities as well as good diastereoselectivities. In addition, this micellar catalyst could be reused at least for four times. Moreover, the micellar catalyst could be applied for the asymmetric addition reaction of 4-chlorocinnamyl aldehyde and nitromethane, and thus constructing the baclofen pharmaceutical intermediate.

Advance polyamide-6- b -polydimethylsiloxane (PA6- b -PDMS) multiblock copolymers were first synthesized via the polymerization in bulk. Binary carboxyl terminated PA6 was served as the hard segment and PDMS modified with hexamethylene diisocyanate (PDMS-NCO) was the soft segment. A series of PA6 -b- PDMS copolymers based on different content and length of soft segments were obtained. Interestingly, Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) studies revealed no obvious change in melting temperature after introducing PDMS segments to copolymers. The high melting temperatures indicated these copolymers possess potential applications in automotive industry that require high continuous use temperatures. DSC and transmission electron microscopy studies both demonstrated increasing the length and the content of the soft segment contributed to increasing of the degree of microphase separation. However, the improvement of thermal stability resulting from PDMS segments was also observed by thermo gravimetric analysis. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2014 , 131 , 41114.
