Simultaneously improving the flame retardancy and toughness of polylactic acid (PLA) remains a huge challenge. In this work, we report simple method for synthesizing PLA blended with biobased phosphorus-containing oligomeric lactates. Four lactates (PEL, PBL, PHL, POL) were synthesized l-lactic acid, aliphatic dihydric alcohols (ethylene glycol, butane-1,4-diol, 1,6-hexanediol, or 1,8-octanediol), phenyl phosphorodichloridate via esterification acylation reactions. Accordingly,...
The electrochemical performance is significantly influenced by the structure and surface morphology of electrode materials used in supercapacitors. Using floating catalytic chemical vapor deposition (FCCVD) technique, a self-supporting, flexible layer continuously reinforced carbon nanotube woven film (CNWF) was developed. Then, polyaniline (PANI) formed conductive network CNWF using cyclic voltammetry polymerization (CVEP) various aqueous electrolytes to produce series CNWF/PANI composite...
The development of a biodegradable material with super toughness while preserving its biodegradability poses significant challenge. In this study, series unsaturated multiblock poly(ether-ester) poly(butylene succinate-co-fumarate)-poly(ethylene glycol) (PBSFG) was synthesized and blended polylactic acid (PLA). impact fumaric in PBSFG on the mechanical degradation behavior PLA/PBSFG blends investigated. results revealed that facilitated self-vulcanization PBSFG, thereby leading to formation...
ABSTRACT To improve the crystallization ability of poly(lactic acid) (PLA), a novel nucleating agent with benzoyl hydrazine compound was used in this study. The behaviors PLA/talc and PLA/bibenzoylhydrazinepropane (BBP) or without poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) were investigated differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) polarized optical microscopy. DSC curves showed that temperature crystallinity PLA/BBP (PBBP) higher than PLA/talc. With addition PEG, synergistic effect found. According to...
Biobased plasticizers have gained significant attention for their potential to replace conventional petrochemical-based additives in the production of flexible poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) products, offering an environmentally friendly alternative. However, incorporation biobased can render PVC materials highly flammable and produce substantial smoke, posing safety environmental concerns. To address these challenges, this study developed a biodegradable flame-retardant plasticizer (PLRCL)...
Abstract The continuously reinforced carbon nanotube woven film (CNWF) prepared via the floating catalytic chemical vapor deposition (FCCVD) was modified by mixed acid and vinyltrimethoxysilane (VTMS) respectively to obtain (CNWF@VTMS) grafted with CH 2 CH group. A series of novel self‐supporting composite electrode materials (CNWF@VTMS/PANI) for supercapacitors were then in‐situ oxidative polymerization aniline in presence CNWF@VTMS substrate as a conductive network framework. results...
Abstract Developing bio‐based plasticizers not only aids in the reduction of fossil fuel consumption but also presents a lower risk to human health. In this study, fully biodegradable plasticizer—levulinate malate ethanol lactates (LMEL) was successfully synthesized from L‐lactic acid, DL‐malic levulinic and ethanol, compared with commercially (acetyl tributyl citrate (ATBC), dioctyl phthalate (DOP) di‐2‐ethylhexyl terephthalate (DOTP)). 40 phr LMEL plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC)...
