{"title":"Insight Into the Role of Fiber Diameter on Electrospun Polysulfone Mats","authors":"Zahra Khezri, Sedigheh Pirsalami, Sina Avaji, Seyed Hamed Mousavi, Masoud Riazi","doi":"10.1002/pol.20240343","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/pol.20240343","url":null,"abstract":"Fiber electrospun mats created using cylindrical collectors have been extensively studied as effective membranes for water treatment. However, the relationships between the properties of electrospun mats and the characteristics and performance of membranes are not well‐established. This research examined two samples with average fiber diameters of 1.8 ± 0.49 μm and 0.47 ± 0.26 μm, which were evaluated as supporting substrates for the separation of MgSO<jats:sub>4</jats:sub> ions. The variation in fiber diameter resulted from consistent conditions of voltage, distance, and collector rotation speed, while the injection rates were different, set at 2 mL/h and 0.8 mL/h, respectively. The resulting thin‐film composite (TFC) membrane consists of three layers: the first layer is a mesh polyester that underlies a middle hydrophobic electrospun support layer made from a 20 wt.% polysulfone solution. The third layer is a polyamide layer created through interfacial polymerization, involving a reaction between piperazine (PIP) monomers at a concentration of 2% by weight and trimesoyl chloride (TMC) monomers at a concentration of 0.2% by weight. Due to its hydrophobic nature, PSU repels water monomers from its surface during polymerization. Consequently, surface modification using plasma treatment alters the surface characteristics from hydrophobic to hydrophilic, resulting in the formation of a superior polyamide layer. The results indicate that membranes with larger fiber diameters exhibit a rougher texture. Additionally, the increased void space between the fibers in these membranes leads to an increase in pure water flux that is 92% higher compared to membrane samples with smaller fiber diameters; this higher flux is due to larger pore size. Furthermore, membranes with smaller fiber diameters possess a finer pore structure, resulting in a polyamide layer with fewer defects than membranes with larger fibers. This improved structure achieved a separation efficiency of 68% ± 1.02% for MgSO<jats:sub>4</jats:sub>, while the membrane with an average fiber diameter of 1.80 ± 0.49 μm demonstrated a separation rate of 20% ± 2.26%. These findings provide a step forward in the development of a theoretical framework for engineering TFC membranes with electrospun mats as supports.","PeriodicalId":16888,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Polymer Science","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142665562","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Agglomerating Agent Emulsions Synergistically Stabilized by Surfactants and SiO2 Nanoparticles: Stability, Mechanism, and Applications for PBL Agglomeration","authors":"Li Zhao, Shulai Lu, Ming Chen, Yuchao Wang, Shicheng Zhao","doi":"10.1002/pol.20240555","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/pol.20240555","url":null,"abstract":"The stability of agglomerating agent is an important parameter to evaluate its value, which is of great significance for its subsequent transportation, storage, and practical application. In this study, a highly stable agglomerating agent synergistically stabilized by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and SiO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> was synthesized. The stabilization mechanism of the agglomerating agent and its agglomeration effect on polybutadiene latex (PBL) were studied. First, the mean particle size, particle size distribution, interfacial tension, and viscosity of the agglomerating agent emulsion stabilized by SDS/SiO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> has been investigated and compared with those of conventional emulsion stabilized by SDS. The results show that when the SDS concentration is lower than 0.125%, the presence of SiO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> can significantly increase the anticoagulation ability of agglomerating agent particles in the polymerization process. Furthermore, noting that agglomerating agent emulsions stabilized by SDS/SiO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> exhibited high stability even pH, centrifugation, storage, and temperatures changed in wide range. In addition, the stability of the agglomerating agents synergistically stabilized by surfactants and SiO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> nanoparticles is better than using them alone. Then, the stability mechanism of SiO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> in the agglomerating agent was investigated. The results revealed that the SiO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> particles are tightly adsorbed on the surface of the agglomerating agent particles through hydrogen bonding and play a physical isolation role. Finally, the 100 nm PBL was enlarged to 469 nm by a synthetic agglomerating agent. Surprisingly, the SiO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> particles show excellent physical isolation role, not only in agglomerating agent but also in agglomerated PBL. Our findings provide novel insights into the synthesis of highly stable agglomerating agent and improve the practical application significance of subsequent PBL agglomerations and ABS properties.","PeriodicalId":16888,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Polymer Science","volume":"47 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142637044","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Herein, microcapsules respectively containing epoxy and polyetheramine were fabricated using a microencapsulation technique via integrating electrospraying and interfacial polymerization (ES-IP) and self-healing epoxy based on the dual microcapsules were systematically investigated regarding the microcapsule dispersion, healing performance, failure mode, and mechanical properties. Microcapsules with different sizes were conveniently prepared by adjusting the injection rate. The microcapsules, regardless of the size, can be well dispersed in the epoxy matrix. The effects of the microcapsule size and concentration on the healing performance were studied. While full healing can be obtained for microcapsule &gt;100 μm, high healing efficiency of about 90% and 70% can be achieved for microcapsules in 50 ~ 100 μm and ~ 50 μm, respectively. The healing performance decreases with the decreased microcapsule concentration. However, healing efficiency &gt;70% can still be obtained when 5.0 wt% microcapsule of 50 ~ 100 μm were adopted. Mixed failure modes including adhesive failure, cohesive failure, and matrix failure, were observed, due to the good performance of the selected healant system.

We propose an interpretable machine learning-assisted modeling strategy to predict the mechanical properties of HTPE binders for the first time using machine learning methods. In this strategy, the effects of formulation composition, multiscale characterization, preparation conditions, and mechanical experimental conditions are evaluated on the mechanical properties of HTPE binders. As part of the study, three different techniques were used to predict material properties: bag-based methods (Extra Random Tree, Random Forest), boosting-based methods (XGBoost, CatBoost, and Gradient Boosted Regression), and Artificial Neural Networks (MLPs), all of which were highly accurate in predicting material properties. Based on this, SHAP analysis is used to explain how these influencing factors influence the material properties.
