In this paper, the effect of simulated seawater on properties of corn straw fibers (CSF) reinforced polypropylene composites was studied. Firstly, CSF was modified with nano-TiO2 particles, and then the modified CSF reinforced polypropylene (PP) composite was prepared. The flexural property and the microstructure of the composites before and after soaking simulated seawater for 21 days were investigated. The results showed that the simulated seawater in short-term immersion could play a role in plasticizing interface and improve the flexural property of CSF/PP composite. After 21 days of simulated seawater immersion, the flexural strength of CS/PP was increased by 18.00%. The modification of TiO2-CSF could improve the flexural property of CSF/PP composite. When the addition of TiO2 was 4 wt.%, the flexural strength reached 44.91 MPa, increased by 17.54% compared with that of unmodified composite.

The nano-TiO 2 was utilized to improve the bonding performance, structure stability and film-forming properties of renewable starch-based wood adhesive. The results showed that 4% nano-TiO 2 (nano-TiO 2 :starch, w;w) resulted in 6.5 MPa of shear strength and 6437 Pa.s of viscosity. The thermal stability was measured by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Additionally, low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and rheological results exhibited the enhancement of nano-TiO 2 on the pseudoplasticity and structure which determined the state and migration of water. Besides, the structural characterization of copolymer was analyzed via fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD). Furthermore, the film-forming property was evaluated by small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). The morphological structures of adhesive were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In conclusion, the 4% nano-TiO 2 (nano-TiO 2 :starch, w;w) can be employed to prepare starch-based wood adhesives with superior properties for wood application.

With the rapid expansion of antibody drug market, most biopharmaceutical industries urgently need to optimize their downstream purification processes to reduce production costs and improve market competitiveness. In this study, a dual-filler polyether sulfone (PES) mixed matrix membrane (MMM) that combines covalent-organic framework (COF) with nano TiO 2 was developed to overcome the drawbacks of conventional protein A based purification methods. Firstly, COF@TiO 2 dual-filler was prepared by Schiff base reaction. The proposed dual-filler MMM was fabricated via nonsolvent-induced phase separation (NIPS), followed by functionalization with a Fab-specific affinity peptide (m-EDPW) of trastuzumab through atom-transfer radical-polymerization method. The resulting m-EDPW@COF@TiO 2 /PES affinity membrane effectively integrates the merits of COF and TiO 2 and show synergistic effects, demonstrating satisfactory hydrophilicity, anti-fouling ability (BSA rejection rate: 97.7%), enrichment recovery (90.8%), binding capacity for trastuzumab (386.6 mg/g), and long-term stability (∼ 21 days). Particularly, this affinity membrane showed good selectivity and specificity, enabling the successful purification of trastuzumab from spiked HCC1937 cancer cell culture medium with satisfactory purity (∼97.4%) and preservation of the antibody secondary structure. This study not only developed a novel affinity membrane with satisfactory antibody separation performance but also opened a new route for developing dual-filler or multi-filler MMM for highly efficient downstream protein purification.

PS-DVB-TiO2 modifying with amino (polyethyleneimine or polyaniline) were synthesized, and they were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and Brunauer Emmett Teller. The obtained polymers were used for purification of myricetin and quercetin from Epipremnum aureum rhizome by pipette-tip solid-phase extraction. The satisfactory extraction recoveries for the two targets (myricetin 86.39% and quercetin 83.67%) were obtained by changing different washing and eluted solvents. The result showed that the obtained modified PS-DVB exhibited high mechanical strength and special selectivity to the targets, and the proposed method was successfully applied for purifying complex samples with PT-SPE.Abbreviation PS-DVB: poly (styrene-divinylbenzene); PEI: polyethyleneimine; PANI: polyaniline; SPE: solid-phase extraction; MIP-SPE: molecularly imprinted solid-phase extraction; UAE: ultrasound-assisted extraction; MSPD: molecularly imprinted-matrix solid phase dispersion; PT-SPE: Pipette-tip solid-phase extraction; DMF: N, N-Dimethylformamide; SEM: scanning electron microscopy; TGA: thermogravimetric analysis; FT-IR: fourier transform infrared spectroscopy; BET: Brunauer Emmett Teller.

Tungsten oxide (WO 3 ) is one of the most promising gas-sensitivity materials owing to its high decomposition temperature and stability of microstructure. The doping of oxides can significantly improve its gas-sensitivity properties. In this paper, WO 3 based coatings doped with TiO 2 were prepared via plasma spraying technology by using mixed feedstock suspensions containing a precursor as WCl 6 and a certain ratio of nano-TiO 2 . The characterization of microstructures and properties of the TiO 2 –WO 3 composite coatings were achieved and the gas sensitivity mechanism was researched. During the suspension plasma spraying, the solvent of the precursor droplets was evaporated and then the nucleation, crystallization and growth of WO 3 occurred. The crystallinity and crystal grains of WO 3 increased observably as the plasma spraying power improved. With the increase of TiO 2 in coatings, the average grain size of the TiO 2 –WO 3 composite coatings decreased at first and then increased. And the gas-sensitive properties of the composite coatings were significantly better than the pure WO 3 coatings. The gas-sensitive properties improvement of TiO 2 –WO 3 composite coatings doped with TiO 2 was firstly caused by the decrease of grains size, which leaded to an increase of the gas adsorption sites. And the Fermi level effect of the composite metal oxide heterojunction formed by TiO 2 and WO 3 also markedly enhanced the gas sensitivity properties of the composite coatings.

Poly(lactic acid)/sesbania gum/nano-TiO 2 composites were prepared by melt blending in the mixing chamber of a torque rheometer in this work. The processing rheological properties, mechanical properties, morphologies, thermal properties, and optical properties of the resulting composites were evaluated. Effects of nano-TiO 2 content and plasticizer content on the processing rheological properties and mechanical properties of composites were discussed. Scanning electron microscopy micrographs clearly revealed good dispersion of nano-TiO 2 aggregates in the matrix at the low nano-TiO 2 content, while higher content contributed to easy aggregation within the matrix, which was consistent with the results of mechanical properties, thermal properties, and optical properties. As for the processing rheological properties, a reasonable choice of nano-TiO 2 and plasticizer content should be made depending on the used processing equipment and process.

Microcellular foamed wood-plastic composites (WPCs) have shown good development prospects in environmentally-friendly composites. Herein, the foamed wood flour (WF)/polypropylene (PP) composites were fabricated by mold-opening injection molding using supercritical N 2 as a physical foaming agent. The effects of nano TiO 2 on the microcellular structure and mechanical properties of WF/PP composites were investigated, and the results show that nano TiO 2 accelerates the crystallization rate and reduces the crystallinity of PP, which is beneficial to the formation of foamed homogeneous systems and cell growth in the WF/PP composites. This is mainly due to heteronucleation effect of nano TiO 2 , resulting in the refinement of crystal. Molecular chain movement of PP is limited with the introduction of nano TiO 2 , resulting in increased the melt elasticity of WF/PP composites, thereby reducing cell coalescence and collapse. With the addition of 5 wt% nano TiO 2 , the cell density was increased by 393.8%, the cell size was reduced by 54.4%, and the cell size homogeneity was clearly improved. In addition, impact strength increased by 33.3%. The improved foamability of WF/PP composites using nano TiO 2 shows a great promise for the production and application of WPC foams, especially in automotive, packaging and building areas.

Traditional polyolefin separators cannot guarantee safety for lithium-ion batteries at high temperature due to their low melting point, especially for high power discharge. Therefore, it is imperative to develop separators with excellent thermal stability. In this paper, we have prepared TiO 2 modified PVDF composite separators by electrospinning. When compared with commercial PE separators, this kind of composite separators show superior thermal stability at 160°C. In addition, it is found that the 0.5-TiO 2 @PVDF separator exhibits excellent flame retardant and optimal tension strength. Meanwhile, the 0.5-TiO 2 @PVDF separator exhibits ideal liquid electrolyte storage capacity, which improves the ionic conductivity (0.68 mS cm −1 ). As a result, the LiCoO 2 ||Li cells with 0.5-TiO 2 @PVDF separator have high discharge capacity retention rate at a current density of 1 C (300 cycles) and excellent rate performance (1.75 mAh at 5 C). In short, nano-TiO 2 modified PVDF separator has a great application prospect in high-performance and high-safety lithium-ion batteries.

High-performance thermal protection materials (TPMs) for spacecraft are becoming current research hotspots. Lightweight polymer-based ablators are considered to be the most promising candidates for TPMs due to their excellent designability and versatility. In this study, a unique nano-TiO 2 coated needled carbon fiber felt/phenolic resin aerogel composite (TiCF/PR) is reported. Wherein the anatase nano-TiO 2 was in-situ coated on the surface of carbon fibers uniformly through the sol-gel and calcination method, then, the phenolic resin aerogel was in-situ synthesized in the nano-TiO 2 coated needled carbon fiber felt (TiCF) preform through vacuum impregnation and solvothermal method. The as-prepared aerogel composite possesses a low density (0.30–0.32 g/cm 3 ), low thermal conductivity (0.034 and 0.312 W/(m K) in the z and xy directions), and excellent thermal stability with 13.86% residual weight at 1300 °C in air. It is worthwhile to note that the TiCF/PR composite exhibits excellent antioxidant ablation and infrared (IR) radiation shielding properties in a high-temperature heating environment. With an oxygen-acetylene blaze heating of 1.5 MW/m 2 for 150 s, the linear ablation rates decreased by 13.4%, and the backside temperature reduced from 322.3 to 179.1 °C compared to that of the sample without nano-TiO 2 coating. The experimental and theoretical analysis showed that the present TiCF/PR nanocomposite has competitive and potential application prospects in the field of future TPMs.

In this paper, an inorganic-organic composite modification of nano-TiO 2 has been carried out using aluminum sulfate octahydrate and γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (KH550) to obtain AKT with good dispersion performance. The AKT-WPU composite coating with different amounts of nano-TiO 2 added was prepared by blending AKT with waterborne polyurethane (WPU). The nano-TiO 2 , before and after modification, was analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and indicates that alumina and KH550 can be successfully grafted onto the surface of nano-TiO 2 . Our thermogravimetric analysis shows that the heat resistance of the AKT-WPU composite coating was improved. The corrosion resistance of the AKT-WPU composite coatings was investigated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and polarization curves. Our results show that the addition of AKT significantly improves the corrosion resistance of the composite coating. The resistive modulus of the composite coating with 0.7% AKT addition amounted to 5.05×10 6 Ω. The corrosion current density is 5.21×10 -9 A, which is more than two orders of magnitude lower than that with the pure WPU coating. The corrosion inhibition efficiency can reach 99.54%. The coating was subjected to a long-term immersion test and observed by a scanning electron microscope. After immersion for 360 h, our results show that the coating still protected the stainless steel.

Photocatalytic pervious concrete pavement is a potential and sustainable new method for treating urban air and water pollution, and there is now an increasing amount of research on TiO 2 pervious concrete due to its excellent photocatalytic properties. In this study, pervious concrete with varying nano-TiO 2 contents (0 %, 1 %, 2 %, 5 %, 8 %) was prepared and evaluated for its performance in purifying methyl orange (MO). The results show that as the TiO 2 content increased from 0 % to 8 %, the photocatalytic degradation efficiency increased and then decreased, with the highest MO degradation rate of pervious concrete with 5 % TiO 2 content was 42.8 % at 120 min. However, as the TiO 2 content increases, the compressive strength and TiO 2 utilization rate of pervious concrete gradually decrease, and the 28-day compressive strength decreases from 26.0 MPa to 13.5 MPa. Therefore, 2 % TiO 2 content was determined to be optimal for pervious concrete.

Due to the high electronegativity , dissolved O 2 molecules can form strong chemisorption on oxygen-deficient nano-TiO 2 , which can alter the photocatalytic degradation process . Regarding this point, there is a lack of sufficient investigation so far, although there have been many reports on oxygen-deficient nano-TiO 2 . Here, we make the dissolved O 2 adsorbed on the oxygen-deficient nano-TiO 2 by simply stirring for a long time. The characterization and theoretical calculation results show that the chemisorption of O 2 significantly enhances the surface hydrogen bonding and results in a substantial increase in the co-adsorbed H 2 O molecules and –OH groups. The co-chemisorbed oxygen species promote the separation of electron-hole pairs, meanwhile accelerate the migration and accumulation of holes to the surface, which effectively enhances the direct oxidation of photogenerated holes. The findings of this work suggest that for long continuous reactions, the role of chemisorbed dissolved O 2 molecules on the photocatalytic degradation activity of oxygen-deficient nano-TiO 2 has to be considered.
