Abstract The future of green electronics possessing great strength and toughness proves to be a promising area research in this technologically advanced society. This work develops the first fully bendable malleable toughened polylactic acid (PLA) composite by incorporating multifunctional polyhydroxybutyrate rubber copolymer filler that acts as an effective nucleating agent accelerate PLA crystallization performs dynamic plasticizer generate massive polymer chain movement. resultant...
The sustainable biopolymer, poly(lactide) (PLA), has been intensely researched over the past decades because of its excellent biodegradability, renewability, and sustainability. boundless potential this biopolymer could resolve adverse negative impact caused by petroleum-based polymers. However, inherent drawback PLA such as brittleness, low heat distortion temperature, slow recrystallization rate narrowed broad applications in biomedical, automotive, structural fields. In study, we...
Inspired by the biomineralization of unicellular diatoms, a biomimetic approach based on template (pluronic F127 micelle cluster)-induced self-assembly α-cyclodextrin is developed to create hierarchical porous graphitic carbon spheres via hydrothermal treatment followed pyrolysis. The as-obtained combine features required for high-power electrode materials in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), such as high degree graphitization, large surface area with hierarchically distributed pore sizes well...
Aqueous chitosan-based polymer solution formed thermogel upon injection to accelerate the recovery of oral mucosa-related ulcers with desired properties.
A facile strategy was developed for the formation of an autonomous chitosan-based self-healing hydrogel. This hydrogel fabricated using in situ free radical polymerization acrylic acid (AA) and acrylamide (AM) presence chitosan dilute acetic aqueous solution under mild conditions. The formed is mainly composed graft copolymers (CS-g-P(AM-r-AA)) a small amount nongrafted (P(AM-r-AA)), which interact with each other through combination multiple noncovalent interactions, including interchain...
In this work, a series of shape memory biopolymers based on dual-phase poly(lactic acid) and poly(hydroxybutyrate)-rubber copolymer (PLA/PHB-rubber) were developed, exhibiting significant flexibility well-balanced (SM) performance. The incorporation PHB-rubber emerged as numerous well-dispersed microsized domains that partially penetrated the PLA domain, revealed by reduction glass-transition temperature in differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). overall increase crystallinity with...
The past two decades have witnessed extensive explorations of boron nitride (BN) largely due to its unique optoelectronic properties, mechanical robustness, high thermal conductivity, and chemical stability. Crystal growth functional engineering BN thin film structures as well their integrations with two-dimensional materials for advanced applications been attracting increasing interest in recent years. Here, we reviewed the basic structural, electronic, transport properties BN, especially...
The growth of a zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8) on Au nanoparticles (NPs) is controlled through tuning the NP surface structure using competitive ligands, which results in concentric core–shell, eccentric core–shell or Janus nano-hybrids. With these three types structures, we demonstrated influence ZIF-8 shell catalytic performance NPs.
