Abstract
Development of bio-based polyester packaging materials that adheres to the principles of green chemistry demands the simultaneous achievement of high performance and facile recycling performance but remains challenging. In this work, we fabricated a novel mica single-sheet (MSS)-modified furan-based biomimetic composite polyester (denoted as BCP), achieving strong, tough, and high-barrier films that exhibit a unique nature of aromatic ring and multi-phase architectures. BCP showed many beneficial structural characteristics: heterogeneous-induced nucleation and crystallization, multi-scale energy dissipation, strain-induced alignment and orientation, and multi-effect physical barrier effects. Benefitting from these features, the resultant BCP films showed a superior integration of high tensile strength (about 76 MPa), toughness (about 397%), and exceptional gas barrier properties (O2 0.0183 barrer, CO2 0.0244 barrer, and H2O 1.49 × 10–14 g cm cm−2 s−1 Pa−1), which are greater than those of most engineering plastics. More importantly, BCP also displayed impressive UV-shielding properties, solvent resistance, and easy physical and chemical recycling performance. Hence, the current work presents novel insights for the design and fabrication of strong, tough, high-barrier, and sustainable bio-based polyester materials that comply with the principles of green chemistry.
期刊介绍:
Green Chemistry is a journal that provides a unique forum for the publication of innovative research on the development of alternative green and sustainable technologies. The scope of Green Chemistry is based on the definition proposed by Anastas and Warner (Green Chemistry: Theory and Practice, P T Anastas and J C Warner, Oxford University Press, Oxford, 1998), which defines green chemistry as the utilisation of a set of principles that reduces or eliminates the use or generation of hazardous substances in the design, manufacture and application of chemical products. Green Chemistry aims to reduce the environmental impact of the chemical enterprise by developing a technology base that is inherently non-toxic to living things and the environment. The journal welcomes submissions on all aspects of research relating to this endeavor and publishes original and significant cutting-edge research that is likely to be of wide general appeal. For a work to be published, it must present a significant advance in green chemistry, including a comparison with existing methods and a demonstration of advantages over those methods.
