To overcome this issue, Ep resin/strontium titanate (SrTiO₃) nanocomposites were synthesized to mitigate insulating flaws. Nano-SrTiO₃ was modified using the silane coupling agent KH550. The alterations in the molecular chain following the addition of modified nano-SrTiO₃ were assessed using FTIR. <i>T</i>_g confirms that Ep resin/(SrTiO₃) nanocomposites, at an appropriate filling level, reduces inter-particle distances and increase the amount of immobile Ep areas inside the nanocomposite, hence elevating the glass transition temperature. The incorporation of nano-SrTiO₃ has an obvious effect on both the dielectric constant and dielectric loss of composites. The DC breakdown strength improved with the addition of modified nano-SrTiO₃, which created deeper traps inside the bulk matrix. Furthermore, the rise in temperature leads to the creation of an electron avalanche, which diminishes charge suppression and hence reduces DC breakdown strength. The DC conductivity decreased after the addition of modified nano-SrTiO₃ into Ep resin. Moreover, the addition of modified nano-SrTiO₃ into Ep resin elevates the partial discharge initiation voltage, hence preventing discharge dispersion prior to reaching flashover. Additionally, reduced temperature significantly impacts the partial discharge inception voltage (PDIV) by lowering the kinetic energy of the charge, prolonging the de-trapping process along the surface and consequently increasing PDIV.</p><h3>Graphical abstract</h3>\u0000<div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":520,"journal":{"name":"Colloid and Polymer Science","volume":"303 7","pages":"1409 - 1421"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145163321","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}

This work investigates how aging polylactic acid (PLA), a common BMP, in simulated surface water for 80 days alters its physicochemical properties and behavior towards PFOA. Aging triggered oxidative and hydrolytic degradation, leading to pronounced morphological changes, including increased surface roughness, hydrophilicity, and oxygen-to-carbon (O/C) ratio from 0.82 to 1.28. These transformations introduced hydroxyl and carboxyl functional groups, shifting the PFOA adsorption mechanism from physisorption (in fresh PLA) to chemisorption (in aged PLA) via stronger electrostatic interactions and hydrogen bonding. Additionally, kinetic and isotherm analyses revealed a tenfold increase in PFOA monolayer adsorption capacity for aged PLA (PLA-80) compared to pristine PLA. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations corroborated these findings, demonstrating a reduced HOMO–LUMO energy gap upon PFOA adsorption, indicative of enhanced electronic reactivity and charge transfer. Topological analysis further identified multiple hydrogen-bonding sites, confirming the dominance of electrostatic forces in pollutant retention.

The long-term retention of single-use plastic waste in nature harms ecosystems and threatens biodiversity. Sustainable solutions such as increasing recycling processes and using biodegradable and environmentally friendly materials are gaining importance to prevent environmental pollution. Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) is widely used in wound dressing studies, but its petroleum-derived nature prevents recycling. When TPU is used by mixing it with a biodegradable polymer such as polybutylene succinate, polylactic acid (PLA), and polycaprolactone (PCL) a partially biodegradable and environmentally friendly structure is obtained. Moreover, the biological advantages of TPU continue to be utilized. In this study, eco-friendly hollow electrospun mats were produced from biocompatible biobased polybutylene succinate (BioPBS) and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) mixtures in different ratios (80:20, 60:40, 50:50, 40:60, and 20:80, w:w) by coaxial electrospinning. It was planned to produce biomedical materials that exhibit liquid absorption behavior by emptying the core of hydrophobic BioPBS/TPU mixture nanofibers. Hollow BioPBS/TPU nanofibers were designed to be used as skin wound dressings in exuding wounds. Hollow electrospun mats, which absorb water to their full capacity, dried within 2 and 3 min. Ethanol used to remove the core of the fiber was reported to improve the fiber properties relative to the use of distilled water. PBS/TPU (60/40, w/w) electrospun mat was reported to have the densest fibrous structure, smoothest fibers, and least sticky fibers. FTIR spectra showed that PBS and TPU interacted physically. The mechanical properties of nanofibers were improved owing to the high surface/volume ratio, which increased with the PBS/TPU mixture and hollow structure. It was stated that hollow nanofibers met the tensile stress (1–20 MPa) value that could be used as a skin tissue wound dressing. PBS/TPU (60/40, w/w) and PBS/TPU (50/50, w/w) electrospun mats had the highest fibroblast cell (L929) viability with values of 80.64% and 71.44%, respectively. It was suggested that these nanofibers could be used as a dermal wound dressing for 24 h.</p><h3>Graphical Abstract</h3>\u0000<div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":520,"journal":{"name":"Colloid and Polymer Science","volume":"303 7","pages":"1347 - 1364"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145165200","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 this study, CCM and piperine (PPR), a bio-enhancer, were co-encapsulated within chitosan (CS) by co-axial electro-spraying method aiming to increase CCM bioavailability. Two formulation approaches have been proposed, including (1) co-encapsulation of CCM and PPR in microparticle core (e.g., CCM/PPR@CS) and (2) separate encapsulation of CCM and PPR in two different CS layers (e.g., CCM@PPR@CS). The optimal electro-spraying parameters were investigated and found to have applied a voltage of 15 kV, flow-rate of 0.1/0.2 mL h⁻¹ (core/shell), and needle tip-to-collector distance of 10 cm for CCM/PPR@CS microparticle; and applied voltage of 19 kV, flow rate of 0.1/0.2/0.3 mL h⁻¹ (inner-layer/middle-layer/outer-layer), and working distance of 14 cm for CCM@PPR@CS formulation. The obtained particles were non-agglomerated, spherical, and possessed core–shell structure with clear boundaries, relatively wide distribution with mean diameters of 366 ± 136 nm for CCM/PPR@CS and 784 ± 139 nm for CCM@PPR@CS.
