Conducting polymer hydrogels (CPHs) have emerged as a fascinating class of smart soft matters important for various advanced applications. However, achieving the synergistic characteristics conductivity, self-healing ability, biocompatibility, viscoelasticity, and high mechanical performance still remains critical challenge. Here, we develop first time type multifunctional hybrid CPHs based on viscoelastic polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-borax (PB) gel matrix nanostructured CNFs-PPy (cellulose...
Cellulose nanocrystals and cellulose nanofibers with I II crystalline allomorphs (designated as CNC I, II, CNF II) were isolated from bleached wood fibers by alkaline pretreatment acid hydrolysis. The effects of concentration, particle size, surface charge, crystal structure on the lyophilization-induced self-assembly particles in aqueous suspensions studied. Within concentration range 0.5 to 1.0 wt %, self-organized into lamellar structured foam composed aligned membrane layers widths...
The present study aims to investigate the structure–morphology–rheology relationships for cellulose nanoparticles (CNPs), including nanofibers (CNFs) and nanocrystals (CNCs). CNCs were extracted from never dried CNFs using sulfuric acid with controlled hydrolysis time. crystalline structure, surface charge, morphology, rheological behavior of CNPs measured contrasted. CNF suspensions exhibited rigid solid-like viscoelastic even at a low concentration due formation highly entangled network....
Rheological and filtration characteristics of drilling fluids are considered as two critical aspects to ensure the success a operation. This research demonstrates effectiveness cellulose nanoparticles (CNPs), including microfibrillated (MFC) nanocrystals (CNCs) in enhancing rheological performances bentonite (BT) water-based (WDFs). CNCs were isolated from MFC through sulfuric acid hydrolysis. In comparison with MFC, resultant had much smaller dimensions, more negative surface charge, higher...
Electrospun fibrous bio-nanocomposite scaffolds reinforced with cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) were fabricated by using maleic anhydride (MAH) grafted poly(lactic acid) (PLA) as matrix improved interfacial adhesion between the two components. Morphological, thermal, mechanical, and in vitro degradation properties well basic cytocompatibility human adult adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells (hASCs) of MAH PLA/CNC (i.e., MPLA/CNC) characterized. Morphological investigation indicated that...
An electrospinning process was successfully used to fabricate polyethylene oxide/cellulose nanocrystal (PEO/CNC) composite nanofibrous mats. Transition of homogeneous heterogeneous microstructures achieved by tailoring the concentration PEO/CNC mixture in solution from 5 7 wt %. Morphology investigation obtained nanofibers demonstrated that rod-shaped CNCs were well-dispersed as-spun and highly aligned along nanofiber long-axis. became more uniform smaller diameter with increased CNC-loading...
Polystyrene (PS) dissolved in a mixture of N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and/or tetrahydrofuran (THF) was electrospun to prepare fibers with sub-micron diameters. The effects electrospinning parameters, including solvent combinations, polymer concentrations, applied voltage on fiber morphology, as well tensile and hydrophobic properties the mats were investigated. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images (23% w/v PS solution 15 kV) showed that new type double-strand morphology formed when...
Flexible sensors have attracted great research interest due to their applications in artificial intelligence, wearable electronics, and personal health management. However, the inherent brittleness of common hydrogels, preparing a hydrogel-based sensor integrated with excellent flexibility, self-recovery, antifatigue properties still remains challenge date. In this study, type physically chemically dual-cross-linked conductive hydrogels based on 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl...
