The epoxy macromolecules were uniformly dispersed on the surface of Talc using the spray-drying method. Subsequently, the modified Talc was utilized in the preparation of SBR composites. During hot vulcanization, isoprene double bonds could directly graft onto the rubber skeleton. Simultaneously, the epoxy groups opened the ring and formed covalent bonds with silanol. The interfacial covalent bonds were found to significantly enhance the dispersion of Talc and the interfacial interactions between SBR and Talc, as evidenced by scanning electron microscopy, cross-linking density measurements, and rubber processing analyzer tests. Differential scanning calorimetry results indicated that the number of interfacial covalent bonds and the content of glassy layers in the composites increased with the rise in GMA content and modified Talc. At equivalent filler loadings, epoxy macromolecules with 20 <em>wt</em>% and 34 <em>wt</em>% GMA increased the tensile strength by 31 % and 49 %, respectively. Concerning viscoelastic properties, composites containing interfacial covalent bonds exhibited superior stress relaxation and stress softening properties.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101081,"journal":{"name":"Resources Chemicals and Materials","volume":"3 4","pages":"Pages 247-257"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143198401","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This electrode was composed of crystalline (Ni(H₂PO₄)₂·2H₂O, Ni(H₃P₂O₇)₂·2H₂O), and amorphous phase in which NiO nanoparticles formed. The amorphous phase connected polyhedrons to the Ni foam substrate, forming multifarious heterogeneous interfaces.

In the present study, common lignocellulosic residues (wheat straw - WS and barley and oats straw - BOS) were supplemented with ‘novel’ compounds (sunflower and corn oil, yeast extract and CaSO₄⋅2H₂O) and their impact on the biochemical properties (composition of intra-cellular polysaccharides - IPSs, proteins, lipids, glucans, tocopherol content, carbohydrates and fatty acids composition), total phenolic compounds (TPCs) and the antioxidant activity of <em>Pleurotus ostreatus</em> and <em>Pleurotus eryngii</em> mushrooms, cultivated in ‘bag-logs’, was evaluated. Results revealed that supplements enhanced IPSs in carposomes cultivated on BOS substrates and the most positive were corn oil 2%, <em>w/w</em> and CaSO₄⋅2H₂O for <em>P. ostreatus</em> and <em>P. eryngii</em>, respectively (50.86 and 57.65%, <em>w/w</em>). In all treatments, there was a variety in the carbohydrate's composition and a great production of glucans (40.67–62.15%, <em>w/w</em>), especially of the bioactive β-glucans (32.10–61.93%, <em>w/w</em>) in the stipes of both species. Significant protein content was detected in <em>P. ostreatus</em> and <em>P. eryngii</em> carposomes grown on substrates with yeast extract (28.99 and 30.09%, <em>w/w</em>; WS and 29.49 and 24.94%, <em>w/w</em>; BOS). Although mushrooms presented a low lipid content in general, high values of fat content were observed for both species when cultivated on BOS substrate supplemented with sunflower and corn oil (4.54–6.58%, <em>w/w</em>).

The greatest amount of TPCs were detected in supplemented WS (22.31–35.30 mg gallic acid equivalents/g d.w.) and BOS (21.03–41.74 mg gallic acid equivalents/g d.w.) with CaSO₄⋅2H₂O, in all parts of mushrooms and a strong antioxidant activity and tocopherols production, in all treatments. A higher quantity of lipids, antioxidant activity and reducing power was present in the pilei rather than the stipes, while the latter were richer in IPSs, regardless of the supplement's presence.

Potassium ion batteries (PIBs) have aroused extensive attention over the past few years since they possess considerable potassium salt resources while exhibiting similar electrochemical properties to LIBs. The electrode material takes on great significance in determining the properties exhibited by the batteries. Zinc-based chalcogenides have served as the most suitable anode materials for their numerous raw material resources, low prices, and environmental friendliness. Nevertheless, the application of Zinc-based chalcogenides has been continuously hindered by sluggish diffusion kinetics, low electrical conductivity, as well as huge volume variation. Several effective strategies have been explored to settle the above matters (e.g., designing nanostructures, constructing carbon composite structures, as well as doping anions or cations to construct heterojunction). In this review, the recent advance of zinc-based chalcogenides (e.g., electrochemical mechanisms, challenges, and perspectives) are summarized.
