This deterioration over time could be delayed by improving the hydrophobic properties of polymers. While many surface modification techniques have been developed over the years, in-depth understanding of the effects of surface modification on hydrophobicity and long-term durability of polymers still awaits significant learning. This study investigates the influence of surface modification, specifically, surface texturing on polymer hydrophobicity by introducing various texture types and geometries on Ultrahigh Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) and High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) surfaces. Hydrophobicity is evaluated by the contact angle measurements using DI water and bovine serum. The results show that introduction of surface textures significantly increases the contact angle, and, thereby, improving the hydrophobicity. Contact angle of textured HDPE surfaces increases to a maximum of 156.7° in DI water and 160.8° in bovine serum for square protrusions, compared to 104.7° and 108.6° in DI water and bovine serum, for smooth surfaces, respectively. For UHMWPE, textured surfaces achieve a maximum contact angle of 157.3° in DI water and 159.8° in bovine serum for hemispherical protrusions, compared to the smooth surface values of 98.4° in DI water and 104.0° in bovine serum. This improvement in hydrophobicity, achieved by introducing surface textures, significantly improves the resistance to moisture absorption in polymers, specifically in HDPE, with textured surfaces showing a moisture absorption of less than 1.5% compared to the smooth surface moisture absorption of 4.5%, over 90 days of immersion in DI water. A wetted surface fraction ratio is proposed to describe the relationship between surface texture and wetting of the polymer surfaces using transition state modeling approach, as this approach provides more in-depth insights on the relationship compared to the conventional Cassie-Baxter and Wenzel models. The study provides guidelines for enhancing hydrophobicity and moisture resistance, and, therefore, long-term durability of polymers used in biomedical, automotive, aerospace, electronics, and household applications.</p>","PeriodicalId":20281,"journal":{"name":"Polymer Engineering and Science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12356130/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144966006","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}

In practical applications, these agents can significantly enhance the mechanical properties of epoxy resins. However, due to the inherent phase separation characteristic of epoxy resins, the toughening effect is somewhat constrained. Recently, branched polymers have gained recognition for their effectiveness in toughening epoxy resins. Their low viscosity and abundant reactive groups facilitate superior toughening outcomes. This study leverages both the structural attributes of branched polymers and high‐performance polyethersulfone ketone (PESK). Through nucleophilic polycondensation reactions involving bisphenol monomers such as dihydroxydiphenylsulfone (BDS), difluorophenyl ketone (DFDBK), and trifunctional monomer 1,1,1‐tri(4‐hydroxyphenyl)ethane (THPE), we synthesized a series of long‐chain polyaryletherketones (LCBPESK) with varying degrees of branching. The fundamental properties of these materials were characterized, and they were employed for toughening modification within the epoxy resin/methyltetrahydrophthalic anhydride (E51/MTHPA) system. Characterization tests revealed that long‐chain branched polyethersulfone ketones possessing both branched structures and reactive end groups effectively mitigate phase separation between the toughening agent and the epoxy resin while significantly enhancing its toughness. Notably, when LCBPESK‐30 is incorporated at a loading level of 15 phr, there is a remarkable increase in impact strength by 133% in the epoxy system. In addition, we investigated the toughening mechanism of LCBPESK in E51. For polyaryl ether resins, a certain degree of branching and the presence of active end groups significantly influence their toughening effect in epoxy resins, which holds considerable industrial value and promising application prospects.","PeriodicalId":20281,"journal":{"name":"Polymer Engineering and Science","volume":"65 10","pages":"5124-5137"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdfdirect/10.1002/pen.70043","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147895398","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}

To address this gap, we report a coaxially electrospun fiber composite integrating shape memory polyurethane (SMPU) and polyethylene glycol (PEG). The rationale behind this study lies in the need to overcome air gaps that arise when conventional PCMs fail to conform to nonplanar substrates, compromising the latent heat exchange crucial for thermoregulation. Leveraging coaxial electrospinning, we tuned fiber alignment and PEG content to fabricate composites capable of both shape fixation and phase‐change–assisted temperature control. Mechanical and shape memory tests confirmed performance, with final shape fixation and recovery rates exceeding 80% and 90%, respectively. Crucially, pre‐deforming the SMPU@PEG membrane to match complex substrates reduced interfacial air layers and increased the temperature difference by up to 6.77°C and 3.67°C compared with a non‐pre‐deformed sample. This improved thermal regulation underscores the synergistic advantage of shape memory functionality and phase‐change latent heat in optimizing conformal contact and heat transfer.

Additionally, the oil amide sulfobetaine (OSB) amphoteric surfactant was synthesized from oil amide dimethyl tertiary amine, sodium sulfite (NaHSO 3 ), and epichlorohydrin. The impact of various charged surfactants (SDS, DTAB, OSB, and AEO) on the binding properties of HAPAM in NaCl solution was investigated through measurements of apparen t viscosity, dynamic light scattering, cryogenic scanning electron microscopy, and rheological analysis. The results indicated that the viscosity of HAPAM in NaCl solution exhibited a parabolic relationship, first rising and then falling, with increasing concentrations of SDS and OSB. Upon the addition of OSB, the temperature and shear resistance of the polymer system were significantly enhanced. Compared to the system before surfactant addition, the maximum viscosity increased by approximately 10 mPa (70%) after shearing at 120°C. At different concentrations of OSB and SDS, the viscosity increased by 133%–157%, the hydration radius of HAPAM expanded by 2.28 to 6.22 times, and the absolute value of the zeta potential increased by 27.66 mV. Microscopic morphological observations revealed that the polymer system formed a three‐dimensional network structure of intermolecular association with the addition of surfactants, ultimately creating a dense spatial structure. However, this phenomenon was not as pronounced for cationic and nonionic surfactants. These findings, corroborated by molecular dynamics simulations, confirmed that an appropriate amount of anionic surfactants can enhance hydrophobic binding, expand electrostatic repulsion between anions, and significantly improve the resistance and electrostatic shielding effect of HAPAM against salt solution compression bilayer. This study provides valuable insights into the effects of surfactants on the cross‐linking structure and binding properties of HAPAM in NaCl solution, offering guidance for improving the recovery rate in binary composite flooding applications.","PeriodicalId":20281,"journal":{"name":"Polymer Engineering and Science","volume":"65 9","pages":"4810-4821"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdfdirect/10.1002/pen.70022","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147333660","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}

This is because their mechanical properties can be finely adjusted, and they are compatible with biological tissues. However, precise control over their degradation rate remains a challenge for biomedical applications. In this study, magnesium oxide (MgO) nanoparticles were incorporated into PLCL matrices to systematically modulate both mechanical properties and degradation behavior. To determine the microstructure and thermal robustness of the PLCL/MgO composites, a battery of tests was conducted. These tests included scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), rheometry, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The results revealed that MgO nanoparticles significantly enhanced the ultimate tensile strength and modulus of elasticity of PLCL while simultaneously accelerating its hydrolytic degradation. This was attributed to MgO's dual role: (1) stabilizing the local pH by neutralizing acidic degradation byproducts, thereby mitigating autocatalytic degradation of the PLCL matrix, and (2) acting as an alkaline catalyst to facilitate ester bond hydrolysis. Notably, the degradation rate increased in a MgO concentration‐dependent manner, with minimal impact on the polymer's biocompatibility. This study demonstrates that MgO can effectively modulate the degradation process, thereby enabling the creation of bioresorbable PLCL‐based materials with tailored lifespans.
