To address this challenge, the present study investigated the coating of natural rubber foam (NRF) with reduced graphene oxide (rGO) to enhance oil adsorption capacity and mechanical durability, with polylactic acid (PLA) utilized as a binding agent to impro<em>v</em>e interfacial adhesion between NRF and rGO. The sorbents were fabricated by sequentially coating NRF with an optimized 2 % (<em>w</em>/<em>v</em>) PLA solution and rGO with varying contents (0–5 % w/v). The rGO was synthesized by gamma irradiation of graphene oxide (GO) at doses ranging from 0 to 65 kGy, in which 45 kGy was identified as the optimal dose for effective removal of oxygen-containing functional groups. The results also demonstrated that PLA coating substantially improved the adhesion of rGO to the foam surface, as evidenced by lower rGO detachment during water immersion and enhanced oil adsorption performance. Furthermore, the rGO-coated NRF samples exhibited increases in oil adsorption capacities—79 % for diesel, 88 % for benzene, 71 % for lubricant, and 57 % for palm oil—compared to pristine NRF, with adsorption performance reaching a plateau and optimal condition at 3 % (<em>w</em>/<em>v</em>) rGO. The reusability tests also confirmed the durability of the developed sorbents, with approximately 85 % of the initial adsorption capacity retained over five to six adsorption–desorption cycles. Overall, this study highlighted the potential of gamma-assisted rGO synthesis for the development of high-performance and sustainable oil sorbents for environmental remediation applications.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20916,"journal":{"name":"Reactive & Functional Polymers","volume":"217 ","pages":"Article 106490"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2025-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145119025","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through texture, rheology and swelling experiments, it was demonstrated that the double crosslinking network structure formed by GG and DFP greatly enhanced the strength of cryogel.

The microstructure and chemical composition of three composite groups were characterized, and their functional properties were evaluated, including swelling capacity, degradation behavior, Cur loading capacity (LC), Cur encapsulation efficiency (EE), and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity. Additionally, the in vitro Cur release behavior of the composites was analyzed, and release kinetics were fitted using mathematical models. Results indicated that the preparation methods had no significant impact on the chemical composition of the Cur-loaded composites. However, the nanofibers fabricated by the coaxial electrospinning technique exhibited a unique core-shell microstructure, which distinguished them from the cast films and uniaxial electrospun membranes. Compared with the other two groups, the coaxial membrane showed higher Cur LC and EE, a higher swelling ratio, a lower degradation rate, and a stronger DPPH radical scavenging ability. Kinetic fitting revealed that the Cur release profiles of all three composite groups conformed to the First-order model, but their release performances differed significantly. The coaxial electrospun membrane outperformed the cast film and uniaxial electrospun membrane, with a Cur cumulative release rate of 51.73 % at 96 h and retained significant potential for sustained release.

In this work, we propose, for the first time, a method for the hydrophilization of fabricated asymmetric PPSU membranes via post-sulfonation. This approach allows the fabrication of a membrane with predetermined parameters, followed by tuning of its hydrophilic/hydrophobic balance by controlling the post-treatment conditions. In contrast, prior sulfonation of the PPSU polymer (a common method) necessitates a revision of casting conditions, as varying the degree of sulfonation alters the polymer solubility parameter and affects the properties of the membrane formed via the non-solvent induced phase separation (NIPS) process. Aqueous sulfuric acid solutions (62–98 wt%) were used as the sulfonating agent, and the treatment time was varied from 1 min to 20 days. Both commercial (BASF) and in-house synthesized PPSU samples were studied. Sulfonation significantly reduced the water contact angle: from 89 to 92° to 0° for dense films, and from 67 to 69° to 44–50° for porous membranes. Consequently, the water permeance of the sulfonated PPSU membranes approximately doubled, increasing from 0.20 to 0.34 to 0.42–0.47 kg/m²·h·bar.
