Owing to their high surface area and stability, carbon nanofibers (CNFs) are ideal for these applications. Electrospinning is a superior method for producing uniform CNFs with adjustable sizes, allowing for precise property control. The focus of this concise review is on enhancing the stress distribution and flexibility of electrospun CNFs, and the importance of optimizing pre-oxidation and carbonization to improve crystallinity and performance is emphasized. Physical stretching techniques and the addition of nanoparticles to create heterogeneous phases within the carbon matrix are discussed as the methods used to increase the mechanical properties of CNFs and develop porous structures. Additionally, the broad applications of flexible CNFs are outlined, and insights into current research and future prospects are provided, with an emphasis on the significance of CNFs in flexible material development. This review highlights key strategies to enhance the flexibility of carbon nanofibers (CNFs) and their applications. The preparation strategies encompass pore creation, nanoparticle doping, reaction process regulation, and tension stretching. These approaches are designed to refine the reaction process and bolster the physical characteristics of CNFs. The applications extend across supercapacitors to lithium-ion batteries, underscoring the versatile potential of flexible CNFs.","PeriodicalId":20302,"journal":{"name":"Polymer Journal","volume":"57 6","pages":"605-622"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144214283","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While essential for sericin removal, this process affects the molecular state of the SF, impacting factors such as the molecular chain length and weight distribution. In this study, we aimed to investigate the physical and biological properties of films prepared from different aqueous SF solutions obtained through degumming with Na2CO3 at various concentrations, followed by water solubilization and dialysis. Higher concentrations of Na2CO3 resulted in broader distributions of molecular weights in the purified SF aqueous solutions. An SF film containing a greater proportion of low-molecular-weight chains (below 100 kDa) exhibited a faster degradation rate and lower fibroblast adhesion compared with a film containing predominantly high-molecular-weight chains. In a rat abdominal adhesion model, the former inhibited postoperative adhesion, whereas the latter promoted adhesion at wound sites. These results highlight the importance of the initial degumming process in regulating the functionality of resulting SF products for medical applications. Aqueous SF solution is purified through degumming with Na2CO3 aqueous solution, followed by water solubilization and dialysis. In the preparation of SF film, the aqueous SF solution is cast into a mold and subjected to a drying process. Throughout this process, intermolecular interactions played a crucial role in film formation. The molecular state of the SF, including its chain length and molecular weight distribution, affected the properties of the resulting film.","PeriodicalId":20302,"journal":{"name":"Polymer Journal","volume":"57 6","pages":"689-697"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144214239","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, polymer electrolyte membranes composed of a polymer matrix have not progressed for the following reasons: (1) the low ion conductivity of polymer materials cannot achieve the level required for practical use, and (2) it is difficult to satisfy both battery performance and membrane durability simultaneously because of the trade-offs between ion conductivity and membrane stability. In recent years, research on composite electrolyte membranes composed of polymer nanofibers and a polymer matrix has attracted significant interest because of their improved ion conductivity, excellent membrane durability, and ability to fabricate thinner membranes.

The high chemical cross-linking density structure of CERs plays an important role in their properties. In this study, a low cross-linking density cured epoxy resin (CER-L) was prepared with diglycidyl ether bisphenol A (average degree of polymerization (n = 1.1) (EPON) and phenyl ethyl amine (PEA)), and a high cross-linking density cured epoxy resin (CER-H) was prepared with diglycidyl ether bisphenol A (n = 1) (DGEBA) and 4,4’-diaminodiphenyl methane (DDM). Then, the mechanical properties of the bulk and adhesive properties of the single-lap joint (SLJ) were investigated, and the internal structure was evaluated. The resulting CER-L and CER-H showed similar Young’s moduli and yield stresses, whereas the elongation at break of CER-L was ten times larger than that of CER-H. The shear modulus and strength of the SLJs with CER-L were also comparable to those with CER-H. The failure modes of the SLJs with CER-L and CER-H were cohesive failure and interfacial failure, respectively. In situ small-angle X-ray scattering measurements at various positions in the adhesive during deformation revealed that crazes formed in CER-L during both uniaxial deformation and shear deformation and that plastic deformation occurred at the submillimeter scale. The stress concentration portion at the edge of the adhesive in the SLJ sample was relaxed by the plastic deformation of CER-L; this resulted in a comparable adhesive strength with CER-H. These novel results showed excellent adhesive strength even for the SLJ with CER-L and could be used to provide new guidelines for the design of adhesive materials. The adhesive properties of single-lap joint (SLJ) with low and high cross-linking density cured epoxy resin (CER-L and CER-H) were investigated and the internal structures during shear deformation were evaluated.

We designed ligands on the basis of the dibenzophosphole skeleton and investigated the structure and ethylene polymerization activity of titanium and zirconium complexes activated by dried modified methylaluminoxane. In this investigation, we selected 1-octene as an α-olefin monomer and polymerized it using five types of titanium and zirconium complexes. Then, we obtained information regarding the ligand structure, polymerization activity toward 1-octene, and tacticity control. The [NPN]-Zr complex, which exhibited the highest activity for ethylene polymerization, demonstrated negligible polymerization activity for 1-octene. Conversely, titanium and zirconium complexes with [PN] ligands as auxiliary ligands exhibited activity toward 1-octene, yielding isotactic-rich polyoctene. The [PN] and [NPN] Ligands with a dibenzophosphole backbone were investigated in titanium and zirconium complexes for their roles in 1-octene polymerization. The [NPN]-Zr complex showed low activity toward 1-octene. In contrast, [PN]-ligated complexes demonstrated catalytic activity for 1-octene polymerization, with the [PN]-Zr and [PN]2Zr complexes producing oligomers at 70 °C and the [PN]2Ti complex yielding isotactic-rich polyoctene ([mm] = 66%) at −20 °C.

However, the anionic homopolymerization of 5 did not produce any polymeric products. On the other hand, the copolymerization of 5 with some lactones yielded polymeric products. Among the lactones used, ε-caprolactone (CL) produced a homogeneous mixture with 5 at a mole fraction of 5 (f5) up to 30 mol%. The copolymerization of the homogeneous mixtures produced copolymers with a mole fraction of 5 (F5) similar to that of f5. The glass transition temperature (Tg) of the copolymers was determined by a differential scanning calorimetory (DSC). The copolymer with F5 = 0.14 had a Tg of −26.1 °C, which increased with increasing F5 and reached a value of 0.65 °C at F5 = 0.29. 5-membered cyclic carbonate (5) was synthesized via 4-steps from myo-inositol which is mainly contained from grains.

Self-supporting films were fabricated, and their dielectric properties were evaluated, revealing significantly lower Df values than those of conventional PI.
