However, many currently available hydrogels suffer from poor processability and inferior mechanical properties. For example, the preparation of a hydrogel network that can be subjected to melt processing and electrospinning is challenging. Herein, a series of mechanically strong, shape‐memory hydrogels based on polyacrylic acid (PAAc) chains containing 20–50 mol% of crystallizable n‐octadecylacrylate (C18A) segments are prepared by an organosolv method followed by in situ physical cross‐linking via hydrophobic interactions. The hydrogels exhibit a reversible strong to weak gel transition at 50–60 °C and can be melt‐processed at 60–100 °C, depending on the molar fraction of C18A. Additionally, the hydrogels can be dissolved in chloroform/ethanol mixture to form a viscous solution, which can then be used to produce a nanofibrous network by electrospinning. Effects of polymer concentration, volume ratio of solvents, and mole fraction of C18A on electrospinning are investigated to produce smooth, uniform nanofibers with small fiber diameter. The produced nanofibers, while maintaining their chemical structure, show significantly improved water adsorption capacity, enhanced mechanical properties, and fast shape‐memory performance.","PeriodicalId":18151,"journal":{"name":"Macromolecular Materials and Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141526778","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nanofiber‐based membranes are proposed as potential alternatives to commercial filtration devices. This study presents the design and implementation of an innovative pre‐industrial electrospinning setup, combining a negatively charged spinneret and a positively charged counter‐electrode, capable of producing polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) nanofibers with an average diameter of 410 nm and electrostatic surface potential values 3.7 times higher compared to a conventional electrospinning process, eliminating the need for further post‐treatment. These properties are essential for improving mechanical and electrostatic filtration of small particles, including infectious droplets. The surface potential of the membranes is also long‐lasting, as evidenced by tests one year after manufacture. As a case‐study, these filters are used to manufacture surgical masks, reporting excellent performance in terms of bacterial filtration efficiency (BFE) up to 99.9%, and breathability (29.8±4.5 Pa cm−2) when compared to commercially available meltblown polypropylene (PP) face masks, and also complied with the stringent European standard (EN14683:2019) for type‐II surgical masks. Furthermore, the pre‐industrial setup allows for increased production capacity of up to 42 000 m2 per year, suitable for large‐scale production.","PeriodicalId":18151,"journal":{"name":"Macromolecular Materials and Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141526779","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In a similar spirit of curiosity and inquiry, here a journey is embarked upon to explore the intricate world of viscoelastic damping for polydimethylsiloxanes (PDMS). Inspired by the notion that even the simplest of phenomena can yield profound insights, a novel approach to study damping in silicone elastomers through a simple ball drop test is introduced. This novel solution allowes for precise measuring and analyzing the material's damping characteristics under various conditions. By carefully controlling the release and monitoring, the response of the falling ball by simple video tracking, valuable insights into the key viscoelastic properties of silicone blends are extracted, including rebound resilience, Young's modulus, and complex modulus. Through the analysis of trajectory data generated during the sphere's interaction with the silicone damper, dynamic and static material parameters are determined. Remarkably, these outcomes closely align with results obtained from cost-intensive and high-maintenance industrial measurement setups such as dynamic thermomechanical analysis (DTMA) or tensile testing. This approach not only simplifies the complexity of the system but also offers a cost-effective and efficient means of gaining essential knowledge in material science.","PeriodicalId":18151,"journal":{"name":"Macromolecular Materials and Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/mame.202400085","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141529309","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, the replacement of petroleum-derived plastics with biodegradable plastics has attracted considerable attention. UV-barrier films in the agricultural and packaging fields are mainly composed of petroleum-derived plastics, which have a negative impact on the ecosystem when they leak into the environment. Thermoplastic starch (TPS) is an inexpensive and sustainable biodegradable plastic that has recently attracted considerable attention. In this study, the addition of UV barrier properties and remolding ability to TPS for replacing petroleum-derived UV barrier films are investigated. Also, a biodegradable polyester coating is studied to improve the water resistance of the prepared UV-barrier TPS (U-TPS). To prepare U-TPS, a conjugated enamine structure is formed by reacting starch acetoacetate with diamine monomers during melt kneading. U-TPS exhibits high UV barrier properties across the UV regions (200–400 nm) owing to the presence of acetoacetyl groups and enamines. These results indicate the possibility of increasing the utilization of TPS in agriculture and as a packaging material.","PeriodicalId":18151,"journal":{"name":"Macromolecular Materials and Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/mame.202400137","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141340918","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Field emission scanning electron microscopy further confirms the high compatibility of PLA and PMMA phases as well as uniform dispersion of Fe3O4 nanoparticles, essential for the effective transfer of heat during the shape memory process. Significantly, the incorporation of magnetic nanoparticles enables remote actuation capabilities, presenting a substantial advancement for biomedical applications. 4D-printed MSMP nanocomposites exhibit exceptional mechanical properties and rapid, efficient shape memory responses under both inductive and direct heating stimuli, achieving 100% shape fixity and 100% recovery within ≈85 s. They are proposed as promising candidates for biomedical implants, specifically for minimally invasive implantation of bone scaffolds, due to their rapid remote actuation, biocompatibility, and mechanical robustness.

The effects of Ts and εt on the structural characteristics of fibrillar crystals are comprehensively investigated with respect to crystal orientation, long periodic spacing, lamellar thickness (Lc), crystallinity (Xc), melting point, and chain relaxation behavior. Small‐angle X‐ray scattering patterns illustrate that the fibrillar crystals consist of alternated stacks of crystalline lamellae and amorphous layers. High Ts leads to a low orientation degree of lamellae, whereas large εt facilitates a high orientation level. The Xc and mean Lc are improved continuously with the increasing of Ts or εt, indicating a stretching‐enhanced crystallization behavior driven by the two factors. The endothermic profiles reveal that new chain‐folded lamellae with relatively thinner thickness form during the hot stretching process. The formation of thinner lamellae is dominated by the melting–recrystallization mechanism. This work would provide guidance for optimizing process conditions to manipulate the microstructure of hot‐stretched semicrystalline polymers.","PeriodicalId":18151,"journal":{"name":"Macromolecular Materials and Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141356429","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
