A polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-agarose (agar) composite hydrogel (M-PVA-agar-60) was developed by simple three cycles of freeze-thawing, followed by successively soaking in ammonium sulfate aqueous solution to induce phase separation and dialyzing against deionized water to remove residual sulfate salts. Due to the synergy of crystalline regions, hydrogen bonding and phase separation domains, the obtained M-PVA-agar-60 hydrogel exhibits excellent mechanical properties (tensile strength = 1.1 MPa, tensile strain = 324% and compressive stress = 12.5 MPa), combined with a high water content of 87.0%. Moreover, the hydrogel hardly expands after immersing in the phosphate-buffered saline aqueous solution at 37°C for a week, and the tensile stress and toughness remain almost the same as their initial values, superior to most reported non-swellable hydrogels. Because of the biocompatible starting materials, absence of toxic chemicals, and dialysis in advance to remove ammonium sulfate, the hydrogel also shows excellent cell compatibility, making it an ideal candidate for tissue engineering materials.

Flexible nanocomposite dielectrics with high dielectric constant and discharge energy density have broad application prospects in the field of energy storage. However, dielectrics with high dielectric constant tend to have a high dielectric loss. Herein, we prepared a dielectric composite material with ultra-high discharge energy density by modifying the interface between nanoparticles and poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (P[VDF-HFP]). After coating a shell of insulating amorphous SiO 2 (~7 nm) outside the barium titanate (BT), the electric field concentration and current density inside BT particles can be significantly reduced. In addition, coating the SiO 2 shell with a polydopamine (PDA) shell (~7 nm) not only enhances the interface interaction between the nanoparticles and the polymer matrix, but also can form lots of microcapacitors in the composite. As a result, an ultra-high discharge energy density of 13.78 J/cm 3 at the expense of relatively inconspicuous efficiency (~59.8%) in the BT@SiO 2 @PDA/P (VDF-HFP) with 2.5 wt% loading has been achieved under 460 kV/mm. This is mainly attributed to the increases of dielectric constant from 12.1 to 14.2 and the relatively low dielectric loss (0.086) at 100 Hz. Moreover, compared with the pure P (VDF-HFP) (400 kV/mm), the breakdown voltage of the composite with 2.5 wt% loading is surged to 460 kV/mm, which benefited from the hindrance of nanoparticles on carrier migration at low content. This work has realized a thin-film dielectric with ultra-high discharge energy density through a novel design of the nanoparticle structure, providing a theoretical direction for the development of polymer dielectric capacitors.

Polymer or polymer gels have been widely used to control excessive water during oil production by homogenizing injection profile and reducing water cut in the produced fluids. However, the gels used are generally unable to selectively minimize water production, and face the challenge of syneresis of gels under high temperature and high salinity environment. In this work, melamine-formaldehyde sponge was modified with AlCl 3 solution, rendering a transition from hydrophilic to hydrophobic state with a water contact angle of 130° on the surface of the modified product. Filtration results show that mineral oil and water can be selectively separated with the hydrophobically modified sponge powders. Simulated water shutoff experiments demonstrated the blockage efficiency against water was 30% higher than that against oil, and the oil production was increased 7.4% after blocking. The parallel profile control tests confirmed that the fraction flow of high permeable channel decreased about 75%, accompanied with 60% rise of oil recovery factor. These results indicated that such hydrophobic materials can significantly reduce excessive water production, and this work provided a new idea to offer a low-cost hydrophobic material for conformance control and water shutoff during oil production.

A series of bio-based diester plasticizers with various alkyl chain asymmetry and the same molecular weight were designed and synthesized, using renewable 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furancarboxylic acid (HFCA) as the raw material. The chemical structures of the HFCA-based plasticizers were characterized by Fourier transform infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance ( 1 H NMR and 13 C NMR). Besides, the influence of alkyl chain asymmetry on plasticization properties of the HFCA-based plasticizers in poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) blends was also investigated. It was found that increasing the alkyl chain asymmetry of the diester plasticizer and keeping the molecular weight unchanged simultaneously could further improve its plasticizing efficiency, without sacrificing its volatility resistance and exudation resistance. The results showed that this study provided a new approach for further optimizing the overall properties of the asymmetric diester plasticizers.

Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogel was modified with NIPAAm via a green, efficient, and industrially applicable photo induced electron transfer-reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (PET-RAFT) polymerization catalyzed by organic dye. The hydrophilicity of PVA-g-pNIPAAm became temperature sensitive due to the introduction of pNIPAAm polymer brushes. It was surprising that PVA-g-pNIPAAm became superhydrophilic (WCA = 4.3°) at 25°C while the grafting yield was 39.3%. In addition, no cytotoxic for primary human eyelid fibroblast cells was observed according to ISO 10993.5:2009. Antifouling properties of PVA-g-pNIPAAm were significantly improved due to the increase of surface steric repulsion effect. Drug release property of PVA-g-pNIPAAm was more controllable than PVA hydrogel. Thus, organic dye catalyzed PET-RAFT polymerization could be applied to construct functional surface on biomaterials, and PVA-g-pNIPAAm hydrogel with lower cytotoxic, higher antifouling, and drug release properties had great potential in drug delivery.

In this work, four aliphatic chain extenders, hexanediol (HDO), hexane diamine (HDA), cystamine (CY), and cystine dimethyl ester (CDE), were chosen to synthesize four kinds of polyurethane and poly(urethane-urea)s (PUs), respectively. HDO extended polyurethanes, HDA extended poly(urethane-urea), CY extended poly(urethane-urea), and CDE extended poly(urethane-urea) were denoted as OPU, APU, CPU, and SPU, respectively. The effect of chain extender type on microphase structure and performance of four PUs was investigated. Our research showed that mechanical strength increased in the following order: OPU < SPU < CPU < APU, and self-healing performance increased in the opposite direction. This result is attributed to the increasing degree of microphase separation: OPU < SPU < CPU < APU. The optimal sample SPU has not only excellent mechanical properties (tensile strength of 27.1 MPa and elongation at break of 397.7%), but also exhibits superior self-healing performance (self-healing efficiencies of 95.3% and 93.5% based on tensile strength and elongation at break). The moderate degree of microphase separation between the soft segments and the hard segments, the introduction of disulfide bonds and low degree of hydrogen bonding are responsible for preparing a polyurethane or poly(urethane-urea) system with high mechanical strength and excellent self-healing performance simultaneously. This work provides useful information for us to develop self-healing polyurethane or poly(urethane-urea) materials in the future.

A novel filling antioxidant (Lig-g-RT) to improve the mechanical properties and antiaging performance of styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) composites was prepared by grafting antioxidant intermediate p -aminodiphenylamine (RT) on the surface of lignin via the linkage of silane coupling agent. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) measurements confirmed that RT was successfully grafted on the surface of lignin to produce the functionalized Lig-g-RT which shows a better thermal stability than lignin. Compared with SBR/lignin composite, the SBR/Lig-g-RT composite using latex co-precipitation method exhibits a much better filler dispersion, which contributes to the maintain of the physical mechanical properties of SBR vulcanizates. Moreover, the SBR/Lig-g-RT vulcanizate exhibits less chemical crosslink concentration and higher entanglement density than SBR/lignin vulcanizate according to the Mooney–Rivlin model analysis. In addition, the stabilizing effect of lignin/Lig-g-RT on the carbon-black filled SBR vulcanizates is comparable with that of commercial antioxidant N -1,3-dimethylbutyl- N ′-phenyl- p -phenylenediamine (4020), especially the SBR vulcanizate filled with 10 phr Lig-g-RT obtains the optimum thermo-oxidative aging properties. This functionalized Lig-g-RT not only provides an intramolecular synergistic antiaging effect for SBR vulcanizates and an improvement of filler dispersion, but greatly extends the comprehensive utilization of industrial lignin.

Anti-fouling properties are tightly related to the surface properties of reverse osmosis (RO) membranes. In our study, fluorinated polyethyleneimine (FPEI) was synthesized by introducing perfluoroalkyl groups into a hydrophilic polyethyleneimine (PEI) matrix, and the heterogeneous wettability surface with hydrophilic and low-surface-energy properties was constructed by grafting FPEI on membrane surface via the carbodiimide-induced method. Verified by the result analysis of SEM, AFM, and zeta potentials measurements, the fluorinated RO membrane surface presented denser, smoother, and reduced negative charge. The surface free energy of RO membrane surface after grafting FPEI decreased from 45.5 to 38.7 mJ/m 2 . By using bovine serum albumin (BSA), humic acid (HA), and dodecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (DTAB) as model foulants, the fluorinated RO membrane exhibits optimal fouling resistance and fouling release properties compared to pristine membrane and membrane modified by surface grafting hydrophilic PEI. Especially, the high recovery ratio (99%) and low total flux decline ratio (17.2%) were acquired during the filtration of BSA solution. These results manifested that the construction of a heterogeneous wettability surface can further improve the anti-fouling properties of RO membranes compared to a pure hydrophilic surface, and the corresponding anti-fouling mechanism was put forward.

A series of poly(arylene ether nitrile) copolymers (PENAPs) were synthesized with bisphenol A (BP-A), bisphenol AP (BP-AP) and 2,6-Dichlorobenzonitrile (DCBN) via a nucleophilic substitution polycondensation reaction. FTIR and 1 H-NMR were used to confirm the structure of PENAPs. Glass transition temperature ( T g ) of PENAPs determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) ranged from 154.2 to 200.8°C. The 5% weight lost temperature ( T 5% ) of PENAPs were 418.9–447.7°C. The tensile and DMA test indicated that PENAPs possessed excellent mechanical properties with tensile strength more than 92.8 MPa and storage modulus more than 1.0 GPa at about 150°C. The melt flowability was measured by rheology properties testing ranging from 80 to 1639 GPa at 290°C and under shear frequency 100 Hz, which indicated the copolymers had good flowability and thermal stability. Additionally, PENAPs could be dissolved in many solutions, which meant PENAPs had good solubility and can be processed by solution method.

In this contribution, first of all, the methoxy groups of organic solvent lignin (OSL) was converted to phenolic hydroxyl groups through demethylation reaction for the purpose of fabricating demethylated organic solvent lignin (DOSL). In addition, the resulting DOSL was utilized as a renewable material to synthesize a novel esterified lignin (EDOSL) by reacting with isobutyryl chloride for curing of epoxy resin. Finally, commercial liquid diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A was cured by EDOSL in the presence of 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) used as a catalyst based on dual-curing mechanism. Dual curing is a processing methodology based upon the alliance of two diverse and compatible polymerization reactions occurring sequentially or simultaneously. According to the FTIR spectra and 1 H-NMR analyses, the demethylation of OSL, esterification of DOSL, and the curing reaction of epoxy resin with EDOSL were successfully conducted. The value of the phenolic hydrogen in the DOSL was approximately 4.89 mmol/g, which increased by 12.64% after demethylation. The thermal and mechanical performances of these cured epoxy samples were measured by DSC, DMA, TGA, and tensile testing. The epoxy system cured by 10%wt esterified lignin with 1%wt DMAP possessed the tensile strength of 71.54 ± 7.50 MPa and the initial degradation temperature ( T 5% ) of 370°C, which can compete fairly with commercial aromatic curing agents or other lignin-based agents studied currently for the curing of epoxy systems.

Cr (VI) is a highly toxic pollutant to humans, to achieve high adsorption capacity, easy recovery, and good reusability, polyethersulfone/polydopamine (PES/PDA) ultrafine fibers were prepared successfully. A series of preparing effect factors were investigated systematically and the optimum one is 8.5 pH value at room temperature and 2 g/L dopamine concentration. And then they were used as an adsorbent for the removal of Cr (VI) ions from wastewater. The effect factors pH, the adsorbent dosage, and time were discussed on Cr (VI) adsorption process and the Cr (VI) adsorption behavior was investigated. It is found that the maximum Cr (VI) adsorption capacity is 115.2 ± 4.8 mg/g at pH = 3 using 0.06 g PES/PDA with 80 mins. The Cr (VI) adsorption process followed the pseudo-second-order model (r 2 ≥ 0.99) and adsorption isotherms were fitted to the Langmuir model (R 2 ≥ 0.999). Furthermore, the Cr (VI) adsorption mechanism was supposed according to the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic results. Finally, PES/PDA ultrafine fibers were considered to be a promising adsorbent with good stability (decomposing temperature, 356°C), high adsorption efficiency (112.1 ± 2.5 mg/g), and good reusability (three times) on the coexistence of anions and the actual industry wastewater environment.

Polyesters from renewable resources with glass transition temperature ( T g ) higher than 100°C are crucial in broadening their application range. In this work, a series of high molecular weight copolyesters, poly(butylene bis[4-(2-hydroxyethoxy) phenyl] sulfone 2,5-furandicarboxylate) (PBSF), was synthesized from bis[4-(2-hydroxyethoxy) phenyl] sulfone (BHEPS), bio-based 1,4-butanediol (BDO), and 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) via transesterification. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy ( 1 H-NMR and 13 C-NMR) was used to confirm their chemical structures, composition, and sequence distribution. Characterizations demonstrated that with the increasing content of BHEPS unit, T g of synthesized polyesters was increased from 38.2°C for PBF to 122°C for PBSF-95, in which the content of BHEPS unit was 95%. However, the weight average molecular weight ( M w ) of PBSF was dramatically decreased after the addition of BHEPS, from 95,300 g/mol for PBF to only 9600 g/mol for PBSF-95, which was too low for practical application. Taking molecular weight, T g , and mechanical properties into account, PBSF-65 was considered to be a promising polyester with M w of 28,500 g/mol, T g of 104.7°C, tensile strength of 82 MPa, and elongation-at-break of 98%. Besides, it was a completely amorphous polyester with a transmittance of 89.9% by cutoff at 700 nm. Summarily, PBSF-65 showed great potential to be used as raw material for the manufacture of baby bottles, children's toys, kitchen appliances, and beverage packaging, especially in the case when high transparency and heat resistance are required.
