[PMID: 36301680 DOI: 10.1088/1361-6528/ac9d40] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2022] [Accepted: 10/25/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Shape memory polymers (SMPs), although offer a suite of advantages such as ease of processability and lower density, lag behind their shape memory alloy counterparts, in terms of mechanical properties such as recovery stress and cyclability. Reinforcing SMPs with inorganic nanowires and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is a sought-after pathway for tailoring their mechanical properties. Here, inorganic nanowires also offer the added advantage of covalently binding the fillers to the surrounding polymer matrices via organic molecules. The SMP composites (SMPCs) thus obtained have well-engineered nanowire-polymer interfaces, which could be used to tune their mechanical properties. A well-known method of fabricating SMPCs involving casting dispersions of nanowires (or CNTs) in mixtures of monomers and crosslinkers typically results in marginal improvements in the mechanical properties of the fabricated SMPCs. This is owed to the constraints imposed by the rule-of-mixture principles. To circumvent this limitation, a new method for SMPC fabrication is designed and presented. This involves infiltrating polymers into pre-fabricated nanowire foams. The pre-fabricated foams were fabricated by consolidating measured quantities of nanowires and a sacrificial material, such as (NH4)2CO3, followed by heating the consolidated mixtures for subliming the sacrificial material. Similar to the case of traditional composites, use of silanes to functionalize the nanowire surfaces allowed for the formation of bonds between both the nanowire-nanowire and the nanowire-polymer interfaces. SMPCs fabricated using TiO2nanowires and SMP composed of neopentyl glycol diglycidyl ether and poly(propylene glycol) bis(2-aminopropyl ether) (Jeffamine D230) in a 2:1 molar ratio exhibited a 300% improvement in the elastic modulus relative to that of the SMP. This increase was significantly higher than SMPC made using the traditional fabrication route. Well-known powder metallurgy techniques employed for the fabrication of these SMPCs make this strategy applicable for obtaining other SMPCs of any desired shape and chemical composition.

Performance, Reaction Pathway and Kinetics of the Enhanced Dechlorination Degradation of 2,4-Dichlorophenol by Fe/Ni Nanoparticles Supported on Attapulgite Disaggregated by a Ball Milling-Freezing Process. MATERIALS 2022; 15:ma15113957. [PMID: 35683256 PMCID: PMC9181927 DOI: 10.3390/ma15113957] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2022] [Revised: 05/23/2022] [Accepted: 05/30/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Attapulgite (ATP) disaggregated by a ball milling–freezing process was used to support Fe/Ni bimetallic nanoparticles (nFe/Ni) to obtain a composite material of D-ATP-nFe/Ni for the dechlorination degradation of 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP), thus improving the problem of agglomeration and oxidation passivation of nanoscale zero-valent iron (nFe) in the dechlorination degradation of chlorinated organic compounds. The results show that Fe/Ni nanoparticle clusters were dispersed into single spherical particles by the ball milling–freezing-disaggregated attapulgite, in which the average particle size decreased from 423.94 nm to 54.51 nm, and the specific surface area of D-ATP-nFe /Ni (97.10 m2/g) was 6.9 times greater than that of nFe/Ni (14.15 m2/g). Therefore, the degradation rate of 2,4-DCP increased from 81.9% during ATP-nFe/Ni application to 96.8% during D-ATP-nFe/Ni application within 120 min, and the yield of phenol increased from 57.2% to 86.1%. Meanwhile, the reaction rate Kobs of the degradation of 2,4-DCP by D-ATP-nFe/Ni was 0.0277 min−1, which was higher than that of ATP-nFe/Ni (0.0135 min−1). In the dechlorination process of 2,4-DCP by D-ATP-nFe/Ni, the reaction rate for the direct dechlorination of 2,4-DCP of phenol (k5 = 0.0156 min−1) was much higher than that of 4-chlorophenol (4-CP, k2 = 0.0052 min−1) and 2-chlorophenol (2-CP, k1 = 0.0070 min−1), which suggests that the main dechlorination degradation pathway for the removal of 2,4-DCP by D-ATP-nFe/Ni was directly reduced to phenol by the removal of two chlorine atoms. In the secondary pathway, the removal of one chlorine atom from 2,4-DCP to generate 2-CP or 4-CP as intermediate was the rate controlling step. The final dechlorination product (phenol) was obtained when the dechlorination rate accelerated with the progress of the reaction. This study contributes to the broad topic of organic pollutant treatment by the application of clay minerals.

Abstract
Smart materials are much discussed in the current research scenario. The shape memory effect is one of the most fascinating occurrences in smart materials, both in terms of the phenomenon and its applications. Many metal alloys and polymers exhibit the shape memory effect (SME). Shape memory properties of elastomers, such as rubbers, polyurethanes, and other elastomers, are discussed in depth in this paper. The theory, factors impacting, and key uses of SME elastomers are all covered in this article. SME has been observed in a variety of elastomers and composites. Shape fixity and recovery rate are normally analysed through thermomechanical cycle studies to understand the effectiveness of SMEs. Polymer properties such as chain length, and the inclusion of fillers, such as clays, nanoparticles, and second phase polymers, will have a direct influence on the shape memory effect. The article discusses these aspects in a simple and concise manner.

Abstract
Transformation of chloro-organic compounds by nFe(0) has been studied extensively, but limited study exists on the transformation and fate of nFe(0) during the dechlorination of chloro-organics even though such knowledge is important in predicting its surface chemistry, particularly, toxicity in the environment. In this study, the nFe(0) core became hollowed, collapsed and gradually corroded into poorly crystallized ferrihydrite (Fe5O3(OH)9) at the pristine reaction time, which later gave rise to lath-like lepidocrocite (γ-FeOOH), acicular goethite (α-FeOOH) and cubic magnetite (Fe3O4) by the end of the reaction time (120 min). Also, dechlorination of 2,4-DCP into 2-CP, 4-CP and phenol was achieved within 120 min. The rapid dechlorination of 2,4-DCP and transformation of nFe(0) could not be achieved significantly without doping Ni on nFe(0) and supporting on attapulgite. The schematic representation of the transformation and compositional evolution of nFe(0) in A-nFe/Ni was proposed. These findings are critical in understanding the compositional evolution and the fate of nFe(0) upon reaction with chloro-organics and can provide guidance for more efficient uses of the nFe(0) reactivity towards the target contaminants in groundwater remediation.

Abstract
Abstract
Polymers have recently been making media headlines in various negative ways. To combat the negative view of those with no polymer experience, sustainable and biodegradable materials are constantly being researched. Shape-memory polymers, also known as SMPs, are a type of polymer material that is being extensively researched in the polymer industry. These SMPs can exhibit a change in shape because of an external stimulus. SMPs that are biodegradable or biocompatible are used extensively in medical applications. The use of biodegradable SMPs in the medical field has also led to research of the material in other applications. The following categories used to describe SMPs are discussed: net points, composition, stimulus, and shape-memory function. The addition of fillers or additives to the polymer matrix makes the SMP a polymer composite. Currently, biodegradable fillers are at the forefront of research because of the demand for sustainability. Common biodegradable fillers or fibers used in polymer composites are discussed in this chapter including Cordenka, hemp, and flax. Some other nonbiodegradable fillers commonly used in polymer composites are evaluated including clay, carbon nanotubes, bioactive glass, and Kevlar. The polymer and filler phase differences will be evaluated in this chapter. The recent advances in biodegradable shape-memory polymers and composites will provide a more positive perspective of the polymer industry and help to attain a more sustainable future.

Abstract
Hybrid bionanocomposites with shape-memory behavior are reported. The materials were accessed by combining a polyurethane matrix with a highly renewable carbon content, cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), and magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs). The integration of the two nanoparticle types resulted in tough materials that display a higher stiffness and storage modulus in the glassy and rubbery state, thus contributing to the structural reinforcement, as well as magnetic properties, reflecting a synergistic effect of this combination. A quantitative characterization of the thermoactivated shape-memory effect made evident that the addition of CNCs increases the shape fixity, due to the higher glass transition temperature (Tg) and the higher stiffness below Tg than the neat PU, while the addition of MNPs made it possible to activate the shape recovery by applying an alternating magnetic field. Moreover, the new hybrid bionanocomposites showed good bio- and hemocompatibility.

Abstract
Polymer surface patterning and modification at the micro/nano scale has been discovered with great impact in applications such as microfluidics and biomedical technologies. We propose a highly efficient fabricating strategy, to achieve a functional polymer surface, which has control over the surface roughness. The key development in this fabrication method is the polymer positive diffusion effect (PDE) for an ion-bombarded polymeric hybrid surface through focused ion beam (FIB) technology. The PDE is theoretically explored by introducing a positive diffusion term into the classic theory. The conductivity-induced PDE constant is discussed as functions of substrates conductivity, ion energy and flux. The theoretical results agree well with the experiential results on the conductivity-induced PDE, and thus yield good control over roughness and patterning milling depth on the fabricated surface. Moreover, we demonstrate a controllable surface wettability in hydrophobic and superhydrophobic surfaces (contact angles (CA) range from 108.3° to 150.8°) with different CA hysteresis values ranging from 31.4° to 8.3°.

Abstract
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were carried out to study the effects of some key factors on the enhancement of flame retardancy of the PVAc/ATP nanocomposite. As a result, the obvious improved flame retardancy was attributed mainly to the increased dispersion of Mg ions in the PVAc matrix due to the stronger interaction between PVAc and ATP and partially to the combustion temperature of PVAc released by the escaped H2O originating from the ATP dopant. Hence, the ATP ore as a predicted additive is viewed as a prospective candidate to be applied in future organic materials to obtain better flame-retardant properties. Moreover, in our simulations, the temperature can induce a significant impact on the interaction of the PVAc/ATP nanocomposite, in which the prominent combination between PVAc and ATP could be greatly promoted at 350 K.

Abstract
This chapter is focused on functional nanocomposites based on the use of the microfibrous clays sepiolite and palygorskite as efficient fillers for diverse types of polymer matrices, from typical thermoplastics to biopolymers. The main features that govern the interaction between the silicates and the polymer matrix are discussed. The introduction addresses the structural and textural features of the fibrous silicates, as well as the possible synthetic approaches to increase the compatibility of these nanofillers with the polymeric matrix. Additionally, these clays can be easily functionalized through their surface silanol groups based on chemical reactions or by anchoring of nanoparticles. This allows for the preparation of a wide variety of functional polymer–clay nanocomposites. Thereafter, some relevant examples of nanocomposites derived from conventional polymers are reported, as well as of those based on polymers that exhibit electrical conductivity. Lastly, selected works employing sepiolite or palygorskite as fillers in polymeric matrixes of natural origin are discussed, showing the wide application of these resulting nanocomposites as bioplastics, as well as in biomedicine, environmental remediation and the development of sensor devices.

Abstract
This paper investigates the mechanics of hybrid shape memory polymer polystrene (PS) based nanocomposites with skeletal structures of CNFs/MWCNTs formed inside. Experimental results showed an increase of glass transition temperature (Tg) with CNF/MWCNT concentrations instead of a decrease of Tg in nanocomposites filled by spherical particles, and an increase in mechanical properties on both macro- and μm-scales. Compared with CNFs, MWCNTs showed a better mechanical enhancement for PS nanocomposites due to their uniform distribution in the nanocomposites. In nanoindentation tests using the Berkovich tips, indentation size effects and pile-up effects appeared obviously for the nanocomposites, but not for pure PS. Experimental results revealed the enhancement mechanisms of CNFs/MWCNTs related to the secondary structures formed by nanofillers, including two aspects, i.e., filler-polymer interfacial connections and geometrical factors of nanofillers. The filler-polymer interfacial connections were strongly dependent on temperature, thus leading to the opposite changing trend of loss tangent with nanofiller concentrations, respectively, at low and high temperature. The geometrical factors of nanofillers were related to testing scales, further leading to the appearance of pile-up effects for nanocomposites in the nanoindentation tests, in which the size of indents was close to the size of the nanofiller skeleton.

Abstract
Polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) and corn starch (CS) blends were prepared with various amounts of attapulgite (AT) clay to form a series of PVOH/CS/AT blend films by using a solution casting method. The effect of AT on the XRD pattern and tensile properties of the composites were investigated. It was found that addition of AT in PVOH/CS blend has changed the crystallinity index of the blend films and thus influenced the tensile properties. PVOH/CS/AT1 blend films showed the highest crystallinity index and proved by the value of tensile strength and tensile modulus. The lowest crystallinity index is shown by the PVOH/CS/AT5 blend films.

Abstract
The effect of moisture absorption on the glass transition temperature (T(g)) and stress/strain behavior of network polyurethane shape memory polymer (SMP) foams has been investigated. With our ultimate goal of engineering polyurethane SMP foams for use in blood contacting environments, we have investigated the effects of moisture exposure on the physical properties of polyurethane foams. To our best knowledge, this study is the first to investigate the effects of moisture absorption at varying humidity levels (non-immersion and immersion) on the physical properties of polyurethane SMP foams. The SMP foams were exposed to differing humidity levels for varying lengths of time, and they exhibited a maximum water uptake of 8.0% (by mass) after exposure to 100% relative humidity for 96 h. Differential scanning calorimetry results demonstrated that water absorption significantly decreased the T(g) of the foam, with a maximum water uptake shifting the T(g) from 67 °C to 5 °C. Samples that were immersed in water for 96 h and immediately subjected to tensile testing exhibited 100% increases in failure strains and 500% decreases in failure stresses; however, in all cases of time and humidity exposure, the plasticization effect was reversible upon placing moisture-saturated samples in 40% humidity environments for 24 h.

Abstract
The aim of this work was to determine the influence of clay nanoparticles on thermal properties of segmented polyurethanes based on hexamethylene- diisocyanate, aliphatic polycarbonate diol and 1,4-butanediol as chain extender. The organically modified particles of montmorillonite and bentonite were used as reinforcing fillers. The structure of elastomeric materials was varied either by diol type or chain extender content. The ratio of OH groups from diol and chain extender (R) was either 1 or 10. Thermal properties of prepared materials were determined using modulated differential scanning calorimetry (MDSC). Thermal stability of obtained elastomers has been studied by simultaneously thermogravimetry coupled with DSC. The glass transition temperature, Tg, of soft segments for all investigated samples was about -33?C. On the basis of DTG results, it was concluded that obtained materials were very stable up to 300?C.
