Biopolymer/silica nanocomposite aerogels are highly attractive as thermally insulating materials for prevailing energy-saving engineering but usually plagued by their lack of mechanical strength and environmental stability. Lignin is an appealing plant phenolic biopolymer due to its natural abundance, high stiffness, water repellency, thermostability. However, integrating lignin silica into high-performance 3D hybrid remains a substantial challenge the unstable co-sol process. In diatoms,...
Abstract In recent decades, the continuous depletion of fossil fuels and increasingly serious environmental issue have aroused wide attention on development biopolymers based renewable biomass. Lignin is second most abundant organic bio‐based macromolecule to cellulose, it can be widely found in plants. Furthermore, various phenol derivatives obtained by their depolymerization processes. The bio‐renewable polymeric materials originating from lignin‐derivative monomers, such as vanillin,...
Abstract Foam thermal insulators are indispensable for prevailing energy‐saving engineering, however their widespread use brings intractability such as unsustainability, “white pollution”, and fire hazards. The emergence of bio‐based foams is highly appreciated, but the fabrication approaches economically unattractive and/or product properties inferior, making large‐scale implementation unviable. Herein, a versatile, thermally remoldable phosphate‐containing polyurethane composite foam...
To investigate whether the esterification reaction was dominant factor that improved interface compatibility of wood-plastic composites and accordingly their performances, ultra-highly filled wood fiber (WF)/polyethylene (UH-WPCs) fabricated using maleic anhydride grafted polyethylene (MAPE) as compatibilizer or matrix with WF content 60–85 wt%. The FTIR TGA results confirm absolute MAPE on 4.5% 0.9% for UH-WPCs 80 wt% compatibilizer, respectively. exhibited considerable higher mechanical...
Vanillin, as a lignin-derived mono-aromatic compound, has attracted increasing attention due to its special role an intermediate for the synthesis of different biobased polymers. Herein, intrinsically flame-retardant and thermal-conductive vanillin-based epoxy/graphene aerogel (GA) composites were designed. First, bifunctional phenol (DN-bp) was synthesized by coupling vanillin with 4, 4'-diaminodiphenylmethane DOPO, epoxy monomer (MEP) obtained epoxidation reaction DN-bp epichlorohydrin....
The low comprehensive properties of soy protein-based wood adhesives (SPWAs), such as weak bonding strength, poor water and mildew resistance, etc., are the main issues that severely restrict their wide application in manufacturing industry. In this study, fully biobased SPWAs with excellent flame retardancy were developed via a facile cross-linking reaction between protein isolate (SPI), furfuryl alcohol (FA), phytic acid (PA). Because SPI, FA, PA all derived from green sustainable biomass...
As "green" composites, recycling end-of-life wood-plastic composites (WPCs) is crucial for sustainable and efficient resource utilization carbon neutrality. In this study, waste WPC windows with 47.6 wt.% wood fiber (WF) were recycled as the polymer matrix then reprocessed WFs by extrusion into ultra-high-filled WF/polyethylene (UH-WPCs) using MAPE a compatibilizer. The tensile flexural moduli of all UH-WPCs with/without higher than those WPCs. MAPE-compatibilized demonstrated improved water...
