The effects of quaternary ammonic methylation of alkali lignin (AL) on the morphologies and ofloxacin antibiotic (OA) removal application from water are investigated by using the dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) simulation method. Untreated AL can form spherical aggregates, but the phenylpropane units of untreated AL and loaded broad-spectrum OA molecules are randomly distributed in aggregates. However, if quaternary ammonic groups are grafted onto all orthopositions of the phenolic hydroxyl groups (100-QAMAL), then multilamellar spherical aggregates are obtained and OA molecules are entrapped in the aggregates. To prepare multilamellar spherical aggregates with an ordered and regular layered structure, <15 v% of 100-QAMAL and low molecular weights of AL (≈4700–9400 Da) are suggested to be used. Lignin-based multilamellar spherical aggregates can be adopted as potential functional carriers for removing pollutant OA from water.","PeriodicalId":18157,"journal":{"name":"Macromolecular Theory and Simulations","volume":"33 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141337726","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results indicate η0VM/η0TPU is the most significant factor affecting Δp, S, and P. When η0VM/η0TPU = 1, λVM/λTPU = 1, NVM/NTPU = 1, S of blends reach the minimum value.

Macromolecules 2021, 54, 11384] found the center-of-mass mean-square displacements at shorter times are subdiffusive, heterogeneous, non-Gaussian, and cooperative. These properties contradict the assumption of reptation within the tube in the tube-reptation (TR) model, but are in accord with the predictions from the many-chain cooperative dynamics in the theory of Guenza. The inadequacy of the TR model revealed by the microscopic experiments and theory motivates the author to reexamine previously published data of diffusion of entangled polymer chains from experiments and simulations used to test the TR model. The results reported in this study lead to the conclusion that the key predictions of the TR model are at variance with experimental and simulation data. The cause lies in the reptation hypothesis contradicting the cooperative nature of entangled chain diffusion proven by its dynamics being isomorphic to cooperative diffusion in other materials. The Coupling Model has predictions consistent with the cooperative diffusion properties in interacting materials [Prog. Mater. Sci., 2023, 139, 101130.]. Applied to the entangled polymers, the predictions successfully explain the data, especially those contradicting the TR model. Thus, diffusion of entangled polymer chains is a cooperative many-chain process in having the universal properties of many-body cooperative diffusion established in many other interacting materials, and the reptation hypothesis is unwarranted.","PeriodicalId":18157,"journal":{"name":"Macromolecular Theory and Simulations","volume":"33 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140830706","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Uncommon quenching conditions can lead to the creation of novel membrane microstructures. This study aims to theoretically investigate the impact of nonisothermality on the morphology formation during the double-quench thermally-induced phase separation process. First, quench is employed during different stages of phase separation to observe the possibility of secondary morphology formation. Next, two initial quench temperatures are selected, one shallow and the other deep. The initial solution temperature and the secondary quench temperature are kept constant to inspect the impact of the initial quench temperature on the structure formation. Lastly, the results of the secondary quench are compared with and without employing the enthalpy of demixing. Results verified that the stage of phase separation, the initial and secondary quench temperatures, cooling rate, and the secondary quench composition are the most important parameters in the the nonisothermal double quench phase separation process. The morphology should be well-developed in order for the secondary structure formation. In addition, it is shown that heat generation during demixing in the primary and secondary quenches significantly influences the secondary morphology formation.","PeriodicalId":18157,"journal":{"name":"Macromolecular Theory and Simulations","volume":"33 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/mats.202400022","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140830704","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
