Nanofibrous polyacrylonitrile (PAN) membranes incorporating Cloisite 20A (C20) organoclay were fabricated via electrospinning for As(V) removal. The impact of C20 on structural properties and As(V) removal efficiency of the nanofiber membranes was investigated. The results indicated that the PAN‐C20 membranes morphology was uniform, with fiber diameters mostly falling within the 100–300 nm range. Incorporation of C20, especially in an exfoliated structure, led to increased hydrophilicity, mechanical strength, and roughness of the membranes. Batch adsorption results revealed that the adding C20 up to 1.5 wt.% significantly enhanced adsorption capacity due to the higher concentration and proper C20 dispersion. Dynamic filtration showed that the PAN‐C20(1.0) membrane achieved over 90% As(V) removal efficiency for 960 min and demonstrated excellent regeneration ability.Highlights Cloisite 20A organoclay was incorporated into PAN by electrospinning to prepare adsorptive membrane. Adsorptive membranes were used for As(V) removal from water. Type of Cloisite 20A dispersion in PAN in dynamic filtration was more important than in static adsorption PAN‐C20‐1.0 with exfoliated structure showed higher removal efficiency than PAN‐C20‐1.0 with intercalated structure. PAN‐C20‐1.0 membrane was usable for multiple adsorption–desorption cycles.

In this study, biodegradable surfactants polyethylene glycol (PEG) with molecular weights of 200, 400, and 800 were employed to modify silica. The modified silica was characterized by Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy; PEG‐modified silica with different molecular weights was compounded with Si69, a conventional silane coupling agent, in the formulation. This aimed to reduce Si69 dosage and mitigate the emission of volatile organic gases, such as ethanol, generated during the silanization reaction between Si69 and silica. Experimental findings revealed that compared with natural rubber composites containing six parts of Si69, the addition of PEG‐modified silica enhanced filler dispersion in the composite while reducing Si69 dosage by three parts. This led to accelerated vulcanization rates, effectively decreased energy consumption during production, and significantly improved wet slip resistance, while maintaining optimal rolling resistance. Rubber composites prepared with PEG800‐modified silica exhibited a 10% increase in elongation at break, a 12% increase in tensile product coefficient, and a 19% enhancement in wet slip resistance.Highlights Silica is modified by polyethylene glycol with molecular weight of 200, 400, and 800.

In terms of thermofluctuation approach, a qualitative assessment of the structural elements forming a macroscopic polymer body is given, and direct morphological evidence of their structure, thermodynamic stability, size evolution with temperature changes and elastic‐strain effects is presented. A mathematical apparatus has been developed to describe the destruction of domains in solutions and melts of oligomers. Analytical equations have been proposed for calculating the time of thermofluctuation relaxation of domains. Based on the analysis of the supramolecular structure of dian epoxy oligomers by transmission electron microscopy and translational mobility of oligomer macromolecules in the high temperature region (Tg + 150°C), it has been suggested that a structure such as “flickering clusters” of free volume elements is formed in the oligomer melts.Highlights Phase diagrams of aromatic and aliphatic epoxy oligomers have been constructed.

However, the moderate mechanical and heat resistance properties of PP limited its application in some special fields. In this paper, nucleating agents NP‐657 were added to further improve its mechanical and heat resistance performances of PP (300H). Furthermore, the heterogeneous nucleation of NP‐657 reduced the crystal size and increased the crystal density of 300H. With the rise of NP‐657 content, the crystallization rate of different PP systems increased significantly, such as the t1/2 of 300H‐0.2 reduced by 31.9 min in comparison with that of 300H at 140°C.

The thermal, mechanical, and rheological properties of the blends were rigorously assessed by DSC, TGA, mechanical testing, and dynamic rheological analysis. The results show that the elongation at the break of the blends exceeds 1000%, which can be attributed to the formation of the co‐continuous structure. Thermal‐responsive shape memory properties characterized by the water bath circulation method showed that the PCL4/MAH6 exhibited the optimal overall performance (shape fixation rate of 97.22%, shape recovery rate of 96.67%) and remained stable after 10 cycles of testing. Moreover, the effect of printing parameters on shape memory properties was investigated, revealing that blends perform the most promising memory behavior at a layer thickness of 0.1 mm, hot‐bed temperature of 40°C, and printing speed of 40 mm/s. In addition, the relationship between the composition of the blends and their properties was investigated at the molecular level by molecular dynamics simulations, which were in agreement with the experimental observations. In conclusion, this study provides new perspectives on the development of advanced materials suitable for 4D printing applications.Highlights The co‐continuous structure effectively enhances blends' mechanical properties.
