In this study, in situ growth of ZIF-8 within the pore channels and surfaces of green cellulose-based wood sponge was attempted through polydopamine mediated incubation. The wood sponge was prepared derived from eliminating lignin and hemicellulose from natural balsa wood. And then the sponge was impregnated into dopamine aqueous solution to yield polydopamine covered wood sponge. ZIF-8 crystals were ultimately in situ grew in substrate after sequentially impregnating in zinc nitrate hexahydrate and 2-methylimidazole aqueous solution at room temperature. Additional, the effect of deposition concentration of dopamine aqueous solution and ZIF-8 incubation time were investigated. The obtained ZIF-8@PWS was characterized using FTIR, SEM, XRD, BET and TGA. Finally, adsorption performance of porous ZIF-8@PWS toward toluene in aqueous solution was also briefly evaluated, and it demonstrated that maximum adsorption capacity was 106.4 mg.g −1 and the removal rate is as high as 94.2%. This work validates the envisioned universal protocol of preparing ZIF-8 decorated porous substrates via integrated mediate role of polydopamine.","PeriodicalId":12929,"journal":{"name":"Green Materials","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135634748","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Melt-crystallization showed that PLLA’s crystallization ability was significantly enhanced by NANH, even that NANH was still able to evidently accelerate PLLA’s crystallization upon cooling rate of 50 °C/min. Additionally, when the final melting temperature was 170°C, the onset melt-crystallization temperature and melt-crystallization peak temperature of PLLA/3%NANH were up to 160.0 °C and 155.1 °C. Isothermal crystallization showed that the half time of overall crystallization of PLLA/3%NANH was dramatically reduced, from 71.9 min at 135 °C for the virgin PLLA, to the minimum value of 0.3 min, and this advanced nucleation effect was speculated to be attributed to chemical nucleation via the theoretical analysis of frontier orbital energy. Melting behaviors under different conditions further confirmed the crystallization accelerating effect of NANH for PLLA’s crystallization, and the melting processes were affected by crystallization temperature and heating rate. Although NANH decreased PLLA’s thermal decomposition temperature in air, thermal decomposition temperatures of all PLLA/NANH were higher than 330 °C, which could meet the daily usage. Finally, the addition of NANH enhanced PLLA’s fluidity, however, the light transmittance was seriously weakened.","PeriodicalId":12929,"journal":{"name":"Green Materials","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134975698","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study stands out for its comprehensive analysis of mechanical, thermal, barrier, morphological, and biodegradable properties by adjusting the type, amount, and size of OPP in the formulation. The resulting fully biodegradable films with 2% CaCl 2 , 0.7 g/g glycerol, and 30% finely ground OPP not only matched the quality of commercial packaging films in mechanical properties, but also exhibited promising qualities in terms of thermal, morphological, and water barrier properties for packaging applications. Made from natural, edible, and vegan materials, these films offer an eco-friendly alternative to non-biodegradable plastics, enhancing biocomposite properties and also providing a sustainable solution to organic waste.","PeriodicalId":12929,"journal":{"name":"Green Materials","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135246701","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By varying HO-SBM and CMM macromolecular fraction, the cross-link density of resulted materials can be altered due to differences in the fatty acid profile of plant oil-based monomers. The glass transition temperature of the synthesized copolymers correlates very well with calculated Flory-Fox values. Higher cross-link density of the biobased copolymer films leads to a notable growth in materials modulus, while elongation at break decreases due to more restricted macromolecular mobility. Remarkably, the copolymer with the highest in a range unsaturation (based on CMM) shows an increase of both the modulus and elongation at break owned, perhaps to extended entanglements of fatty acids-based side chains. The adhesion performance of the cross-linked biobased copolymers was evaluated using shear and peel strength measurements on steel and polypropylene. Based on the obtained results, the amount of unsaturation in CMM and HO-SBM (determined by plant oil composition) can be applied as a criterion to adjust adhesion by choosing plant oil-based monomers (or their mixtures) with different unsaturation and provide properties and performance required for specific applications.","PeriodicalId":12929,"journal":{"name":"Green Materials","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43967793","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unfortunately, the burning and irregular storage of these eggplant stems outdoors causes serious damage to both global air pollution and environmental pollution. Environmental impacts can be minimized by recycling eggplant stems, turning them into valuable products, and using them as valuable additives. In this study, water-binding capacity (WBC) and water-binding capacity in oil (WBCO) potential of eggplant stems were investigated. At the first step, optimization alkaline-treated of eggplant stems carried out. Alkaline-treated optimization parameters such as NaOH concentration (0.05, 0.125, and 0.2 M), temperature (20, 40, and 60 °C), and reaction time (30, 90, and 150 minutes) was investigated using response surface methodology (RSM). In the second step, both water holding capacity and water holding capacity in oil tests were performed for each experimental set. As a result of the experiments, 30.64 %, and 98.20% capacity efficiency respectively WBC, and WBOC were obtained for 0.125 M NaOH concentration, 60 °C temperature, and 150 minutes reaction time. In addition, eggplant stems have demonstrated the ability to effectively retain water for up to 5 cycles. The high water-binding capacity of eggplant stems in oil after alkali treatment shows that it can be a suitable and inexpensive candidate, especially for biodiesel purification and methane production.","PeriodicalId":12929,"journal":{"name":"Green Materials","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46088971","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
