Abstract
Poly(p-phenylene-2,6-benzobisoxazole) (PBO) fiber is currently one of the best-performing organic fibers; however, its low UV aging resistance limits its use. To improve the UV aging performance of PBO fibers, a novel PBO-Fe-PDA fiber was created by depositing a biomimetic structure of polydopamine (PDA) on the surface of PBO fibers with the transition metal ion Fe3+ as the active center. The surface morphology and elemental composition of PBO-Fe-PDA fibers were investigated. It was revealed that Fe3+ formed a coordination bond structure with the oxazole ring, and PDA was successfully loaded onto the surface of PBO-Fe fibers. After UV aging, the crystallinity and crystallographic orientation of PBO fibers significantly decrease, microcrystals inside the fibers slip, and the size of microvoids in the fibers rises. As a result, the strength of PBO fibers was significantly decreased after UV aging. The anti-UV aging capacity of PBO-Fe-PDA fibers, on the other hand, has been enhanced, as evidenced by a slight drop in crystallinity and crystallographic orientation and a significant decrease in the size growth of internal microvoids in the fibers after UV aging. The tensile strength retention of PBO-Fe-PDA fibers after UV aging increased by 93.13% when compared to PBO fibers without altering the fibers’ initial strength. The testing results show that this surface modification method is simple to employ and extends the service life of PBO fibers significantly.
期刊介绍:
Health Services Management Research (HSMR) is an authoritative international peer-reviewed journal which publishes theoretically and empirically rigorous research on questions of enduring interest to health-care organizations and systems throughout the world. Examining the real issues confronting health services management, it provides an independent view and cutting edge evidence-based research to guide policy-making and management decision-making. HSMR aims to be a forum serving an international community of academics and researchers on the one hand and healthcare managers, executives, policymakers and clinicians and all health professionals on the other. HSMR wants to make a substantial contribution to both research and managerial practice, with particular emphasis placed on publishing studies which offer actionable findings and on promoting knowledge mobilisation toward theoretical advances. All papers are expected to be of interest and relevance to an international audience. HSMR aims at enhance communication between academics and practitioners concerned with developing, implementing, and analysing health management issues, reforms and innovations primarily in European health systems and in all countries with developed health systems. Papers can report research undertaken in a single country, but they need to locate and explain their findings in an international context, and in international literature.
