The properties of the UV‐cured resin MN patches prepared using this method were evaluated and characterized, focusing on their potential for long‐acting monitoring. The results demonstrated that the UV‐curable resin MN patches exhibited superior shape stability, very low cytotoxicity, minimal skin irritation, and a fracture force of approximately 2.289 N/needle. Following immersion in 37°C PBS for different days, the shape and mass changed negligibly, and the fracture force still reached half of the original values after 21 days.

They are sustainable, formaldehyde‐free, and biodegradable. However, the problems of poor gluing strength and hydrophobicity need to be overcome. In this study, natural starch was oxidized by sodium persulfate to obtain oxidized starch. Oxidized starch adhesive (SSA‐15%) was crosslinked with PVA. The results show that the dry and wet shear strength of the prepared oxidized starch adhesive (SSA‐15%) can reach 2.95 MPa and 1.31 MPa, which is 163% and 120% higher than that of the natural starch adhesive. Sodium persulfate causes the large number of hydrophilic hydroxyl groups in starch to oxidize directly to carboxyl groups, improving the hydrophobicity of starch. The hydroxyl group present in oxidized starch interacts with the secondary hydroxyl group in PVA to form a hydrogen bond. This interaction enhances the adhesive bonding performance, resulting in improved mechanical properties and increased bonding strength of the final products, while also contributing to the formation of a more robust network structure. The study showed that the oxidized adhesive has good hydrophobicity and storage thermal stability. It is a simple and green biomass wood adhesive, which provides theoretical support for the promotion and application of aldehyde‐free adhesives.","PeriodicalId":20382,"journal":{"name":"Polymers for Advanced Technologies","volume":"35 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147909064","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}

However, it still remains a challenge to improve the damping characteristics of such materials owing to the lack of adequate practical knowledge in this area. Here, we report on the successful fabrication of silicon rubber (SR)/ferric oxide (Fe 3 O 4 ) composites with excellent damping characteristics. The results obtained from the study showed that the damping characteristics of the specimens increased with the loading of Fe 3 O 4 within a range of −105°C to 200°C. Specifically, the damping factor (tan δ ) is 0.45 at room temperature, and the effective working temperature, the temperatures that correspond to the tan δ > 0.3, ranged from −105°C to 165°C for the loading of Fe 3 O 4 at 60 phr. The scanning electron microscopy results showed that the excellent damping characteristics of composites can be attributed to the good dispersion of Fe 3 O 4 in the SR matrix. This work, therefore, opens up a pathway toward a relatively easy and up‐scalable means for fabricating polymer composites that have superior damping characteristics and ones with a wider applicability.","PeriodicalId":20382,"journal":{"name":"Polymers for Advanced Technologies","volume":"35 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147894561","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}

Although PBAT demonstrates good elongation at break and impact performance, specific studies on its processing, modification, and porous structure are needed. Therefore, PBAT/single‐walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) porous material was prepared via a salt‐templating method. It was found that part of the SWCNT was embedded in the walls of the pores in the PBAT substrate, while another part was exposed on the pore surface. PBAT served as the structural framework, and SWCNT functioned mainly as the active component, especially the SWCNT exposed on the surface. This unique microstructure imparted the porous material with desirable piezoresistive properties and effective electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding capabilities. When the material was compressed, the exposed SWCNT was forced into closer contact, increasing the number of electrical transport pathways and further enhancing conductivity. The resulting porous sensor exhibited a notable response to strain up to 100% and demonstrated high sensitivity (1.25) while maintaining robust cyclic stability after 1000 cycles. Human pulse and finger flexion were successfully recorded using the fabricated porous sensor. Moreover, the porous material displayed EMI shielding capabilities, primarily through the absorption of electromagnetic (EM) waves, a phenomenon associated with the rough surface of the pores created by the exposed SWCNT. The overall electromagnetic shielding effectiveness was around 60 dB. Given these advantages, the green biodegradable material PBAT shows significant potential for application in piezoresistive sensors and electromagnetic interference shielding with appropriate modification and preparation.","PeriodicalId":20382,"journal":{"name":"Polymers for Advanced Technologies","volume":"35 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147883469","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}
