The study aims to compare the durability of three thermoplastic polyurethane‐based coatings specifically formulated for defense inflatables. It introduces a reliability model that incorporates two weathering stresses, namely, ultra‐violet radiation and temperature, to predict the service life of the coatings. A life–stress relationship has been established from the accelerated aging tests, which facilitates the determination of material service life at use level conditions. Notably, the analysis underscores the significant improvement in service lifetime achieved with nanocomposite‐based coatings. The validity of the proposed model is established through comparison with real‐world field test data, emphasizing the effectiveness of the approach in assessing and comparing the performance of the three coated samples. The insights gained from this research will surely contribute to enhancing the durability assessment of coated systems in real‐world conditions for various fields of applications.Highlights<jats:list list-type=\"bullet\"> <jats:list-item>Introduces a unique method to compare weatherability of three polyurethane coatings.</jats:list-item> <jats:list-item>Reliability model predicts service life under UV and temperature stresses.</jats:list-item> <jats:list-item>Life–stress relationship via accelerated aging for accurate service life.</jats:list-item> <jats:list-item>Nanocomposite coatings show longer service life than conventional ones.</jats:list-item> <jats:list-item>Model validated with field data, confirming practical applicability.</jats:list-item> </jats:list>","PeriodicalId":20281,"journal":{"name":"Polymer Engineering and Science","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141585448","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}

Mechanical properties (tensile and impact strength [TS and IS]) of compounds were analyzed using the central composite design approach in Design‐Expert software.

While the rotational molding of thermoplastics is subject to inherent limitations regarding the wall thickness and processing of ultrasoft materials, the present paper introduces the adhesion‐controlled, highly dynamic rotational molding of room‐temperature curing resins, enabling the fabrication of thin, multilayered films and anisotropic, ultrasoft silicone components at rotational speeds up to 2000 min<jats:sup>−1</jats:sup>. The studies comprise the influence of the applied rotational speeds and the different molds. Based on scanning electron micrographs, the process is shown to allow for locally tailored part thicknesses, enabling the manufacturing of multilayered films with singular layers obtaining thicknesses below 10 μm. Relying on the control of emerging centripetal forces, the rotational speed depicts a quasi‐linear influence on resulting layer thicknesses, allowing for controlling the film thickness with excellent interlayer bonding. Relying on the superposition of consecutive layers, the adhesion‐controlled process allows for tailoring emerging nonlinear, ultrasoft stress–strain behaviors across a broad range of desired moduli. Conducting compression tests, increased rotational speeds are shown to reduce the part stiffness, attributed to the increased relative influence of interlayer interfaces, allowing for reproducing mechanical characteristics similarly found in ultrasoft human soft tissue.Highlights<jats:list list-type=\"bullet\"> <jats:list-item>Highly dynamic rotational molding of ultrasoft thin films.</jats:list-item> <jats:list-item>Targeted anisotropic structure formation.</jats:list-item> <jats:list-item>High geometric accuracy and reproducibility of thin silicone films.</jats:list-item> <jats:list-item>Targeted adaptability of nonlinear compressive mechanical properties.</jats:list-item> <jats:list-item>Applicability for ultrasoft laryngeal implants.</jats:list-item> </jats:list>","PeriodicalId":20281,"journal":{"name":"Polymer Engineering and Science","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141585446","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}

Applications requiring even lower dielectric constants include interlayer dielectrics and tape‐automated bonding. In this study, a covalent organic framework (COF‐1) was synthesized and dispersed in various percentages into a solution of terpoly(amide acid) (TPAA) to produce COF‐1/terpolyimide composites. 3,3′,4,4′‐Oxydiphthalic dianhydride (ODPA), 3,3′,4,4′‐biphenyltetracarboxylicdianhydride (BPDA), and 4,4′‐(hexafluoroisopropylidene)diphthalic anhydride (6FDA) were reacted with 4,4′‐(hexafluoroisopropylidene)bis[(4‐aminophenoxy)benzene] (HFBAPP) or 4,4′‐(hexafluoroisopropylidene) dianiline (6FpDA) to form terpoly(amide acid). In this case, monomers with fluorinated substituents (HFBAPP, 6FpDA, and 6FDA) were utilized to improve free volume. Pores of COF‐1 and gaps between polyimide chains and COF‐1 can be filled with air with a dielectric constant (κ) ~1, lowering the κ value of terpolyimide composites. The κ value of COF‐1/terpolyimide composites decreased as COF‐1 content increased, reaching a minimum of 1.96. Tensile properties decreased slightly with increasing COF‐1 levels. The terpolyimides and their composites were thermally stable up to approximately 520°C.

Traditional bonding methods for polymer‐based microfluidics, e.g., thermal bonding, permanently attach the substrate and cover plate. Sometimes, once the chip flow channel is blocked, it is difficult to clean and affect the reusability of the chip. This study proposes a new reversible bonding method for poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) microfluidic chips with the help of stretch release adhesive strips. The designed microchannels were fabricated on the surface of PMMA plates using CO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> laser irradiation. Then, stretch release adhesive strips were used as an intermediate layer between the substrate (with microchannels) and another flat PMMA/PS/PC plate to seal the microchannel. The assembled chip sets were bonded at room temperature with bonding strength comparable with other permanent bonding methods. Experimental results show that simply pulling the adhesive layer by applying a shear force can easily detach the intermediate adhesive layer from both the substrate and cover plate to separate the bonded chipset. The proposed reversible bonding method is simple, rapid and has low residue and high bonding strength. Bacterial culture experiments were also conducted to verify the biocompatibility of the proposed bonding method.

In the presence of an aqueous solution of ammonium hydroxide as a cheap passivating agent, the hydrothermal carbonization of cellulose diacetate extracted from rice straw yielded nitrogen‐doped carbon dots (NdCD) in a straightforward and ecologically beneficial manner. NdCD achieved a maximum quantum yield of 25.11%. Self‐healing biocomposite inks with different emission properties were created by using different concentrations of NdCD nanoparticles (NPs). In order to create a transparent layer of NdCD@PLA hydrogel, stamps were used to press homogenous films onto paper surfaces. Polylactic acid (PLA) hydrogel was embedded with NPs of NdCD. Self‐healing security hydrogel inks are highly durable. The NdCD@PLA hydrogel is efficiently self‐healable at room temperature. The current NdCD@PLA hydrogel can attach to different surfaces, such as glasses, plastics, and papers. The self‐healable nanobiocomposite was photostable when exposed to UV light. Under UV light, NdCD‐containing nanobiocomposite inks have a bluish color, as proved by both colorimetric parameters and fluorescence spectra. The morphological properties of NdCD were studied by transmission electron microscopy to suggest a particle diameter of 10–15 nm. The morphology of the fluorescent prints was analyzed using a number of different analytical methods. The hydrogel rheology and the mechanical performance of printed papers were tested.
