Chemical analysis, XRD, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, specific surface area, TGA and SEM were used to analyze the materials and the organic–inorganic interfaces. XRD and SEM investigations demonstrated that the presence of the biopolymer had an impact on both the structural and morphological properties as well as the crystallinity. The PO43− vibration modes are visible in the IR spectra, and new vibration modes mostly associated with Xan and Pec are observed at 1594, 2878 and 3246 cm−1. The specific surface area values were reduced after the chemical functionalization of CaHAp with pectin and xanthan gum. The ability of the three materials CaHAp, CaHAp-Pec and CaHAp-Xan to sorb methylene blue from aqueous solutions was assessed. The adsorption kinetics results best fitted the pseudo-second-order model. The isotherm data agreed well with the Freundlich model. The adsorption capacity values of porous composites CaHAp-Xan 5%, CaHAp-Pec 10% and CaHAp reached 277, 243 and 144 mg g−1, respectively. The non-spontaneous and exothermic nature of the adsorption was demonstrated by the thermodynamic parameters (ΔG0, ΔH0 and ΔS0).

In the present study, a two-dimensional derivative of MAX phases (MXene) was loaded onto the surface of carbon fiber (CF) and used as reinforcement to modify the tribological properties of epoxy resin (EP) composites. The latter were tested on a plate-on-ring contact configuration as a function of load and sliding speed with reference to composites filled with single carboxyl-terminated butadiene acrylonitrile (CTBN), MXene and CF. It was revealed that, when MXene and CF were incorporated simultaneously into EP/CTBN, the composite's friction coefficient and wear rate were reduced by 55.8% and 96.6% compared to those of EP/CTBN matrix. The mechanisms underlying this improvement are discussed based on a thorough analysis of the morphology of the worn surface and the chemical composition of transfer films.

While HFM and PMM possess a highly differing content of saturated palmitic and stearic acids combined with unsaturated fatty acids, CSM contains primarily fragments based on monounsaturated ricinoleic hydroxy acid (up to 90%). Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements indicate that polymers from PMM and HFM are both semicrystalline (with Tm = −6 and −13 °C, respectively), while poly(CSM) appears to be amorphous (Tg = −49 °C). Considering the similarity in polymers' molar mass (Mn = 16 000–20 000 g mol−1), the observed thermal transitions can be explained by the formation of ordered morphological domains due to the presence of saturated palmitic and stearic acid fractions in poly(PMM) and poly(HFM). For copolymers of CSM, PMM and HFM (80 wt% of monomer feed) with styrene, DSC data show two transitions corresponding to the mobility of long alkyl fatty acid side fragments and the macromolecular backbone. For copolymers of PMM and HFM, comparable values (−52.8 and −55.5 °C, respectively) were obtained, while the second transition for poly(CSM-co-styrene) appears at 35 °C. We attribute this higher value to the presence of hydroxyl groups in ricinoleic acid fragments of CSM serving as additional chain transfer sites and the formation of macromolecular fractions enriched with polystyrene fragments. We expect that the temperature transitions obtained can be relevant to the future use of these polymers for biomedical applications, including the synthesis of polymer brushes. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.","PeriodicalId":20404,"journal":{"name":"Polymer International","volume":"74 3","pages":"255-263"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143396924","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}

Their reactivity has afforded materials ranging from polyimides with high upper service temperatures to hydrogels for regenerative medicine applications. Moreover, maleimides have proven to be an enabling chemistry for pharmaceutical development and bioconjugation via straightforward modification of cysteine residues. To exert spatiotemporal control over reactions with maleimides, multiple approaches have been developed to photocage nucleophiles, dienes, and dipoles. Additionally, further substitution of the maleimide alkene (e.g. monohalo-, dihalo-, thio-, amino- and methyl-maleimides, among other substituents) confers tunable reactivity and dynamicity, as well as responsive mechanical and optical properties. In this mini-review, we highlight the diverse functionality of maleimides, underscoring their notable impact in polymer science.

Prior to melt-blending, graphene nanoplatelet (GNP) filler was processed via a series of liquid-phase exfoliation and surface modification with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane. Results indicate that GNP is successfully exfoliated with minimum defect ratio and improves interfacial bonding within the matrix. Uniform dispersion and stable load-transfer capability of POM/GNP with 0.5 wt% loading significantly enhanced flexural, tensile and impact strength by overall 26.4%, in contrast to unfilled POM. Dry friction tests against a steel ball also showed the lowest reduction in friction coefficient and wear rate by 22% and 40.6%, respectively, at the same amount of GNP loading due to the large specific surface coverage and lubricious transfer film chelation onto the steel counterface. Furthermore, dissipated energy accumulation by friction work was calculated in the sliding interfaces based on friction force–displacement hysteresis loop where the POM/GNP 0.5 wt% wear surface consumed ca 21.7% less energy in a dry frictional shearing process compared to neat POM. However, lack or excess loading of processed GNP exhibited insufficient or poor matrix–filler adhesion and led to deterioration of the composite properties due to particle agglomeration which can cause stress concentration and serve as a failure site. The adoption of the proposed methodology would demonstrate excellent material characteristics in thin-walled precision parts where both mechanical and tribological performances are the primary concern. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.","PeriodicalId":20404,"journal":{"name":"Polymer International","volume":"74 3","pages":"231-245"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143397380","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}

In addition to superior macroscopic structural control, photoprinting methods such as digital light projection can enable molecular-scale control over the fabrication process by taking advantage of the self-sorting or assembly properties of the monomers themselves. Polymerization-induced phase separation (PIPS) allows for the remarkable introduction of microscopic control into additive manufacturing, using polymer-rich and polymer-poor regions that rely on incompatibilities to phase separate during polymerization creating new complex materials not achieved by traditional methods. With the incorporation of porogens or filler materials, microporosity and/or surface functionalization can be introduced in a facile one-step printing process. This expands the potential applications of 3D printed materials, to include micro- and macroscale structural control.

This research focuses on synthesizing electrospun nanofibers derived from taro starch isolated from tubers. The investigation utilized SEM to examine the structure and size of the electrospun nanofibers. Formic acid and dimethyl sulfoxide solvents were tested to determine the most efficient solvent system for synthesizing taro starch nanofibers. The results demonstrated that the taro starch nanofibers can be effectively synthesized when using formic acid as the primary solvent. The study also investigated the impact of altering the volumetric ratio of formic acid to water on nanofiber morphology and size, finding that a lower formic acid fraction produced smooth fibers while a higher fraction resulted in fused fibers. The electrospinnability was further evaluated by comparing the effects of different isolation agents—distilled water and sodium metabisulfite—during the isolation process. The isolation agent significantly affected the fiber diameter, with notable differences observed in the smoothness of taro starch nanofibers at starch solution concentrations of 13, 15 and 17 wt%. Overall, the results of the study showed that the formation of taro starch fibers was influenced by the type of solvent, the volume fraction of the solvent to water, and the starch isolation agent. Successful fabrication of nanofibers from taro starch and its optimization parameters can contribute to the development of environmentally friendly nanofiber materials and offer a variety of applications in biomedicine, food and environmental engineering, such as tissue engineering, wound dressing, drug delivery, functional food delivery and food packaging. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.","PeriodicalId":20404,"journal":{"name":"Polymer International","volume":"74 3","pages":"217-230"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143397214","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}
