Abstract
A fundamental challenge in artificial superhydrophobic papers is their poor resistance to mechanical abrasion, which limits their practical application in different fields. Herein, a robust and multifunctional superhydrophobic paper is successfully fabricated via a facile spraying method by combining silver nanowires and fluorinated titania nanoparticles through a common paper sizing agent (alkyl ketene dimer) onto paper. It is shown that the surface of the paper-based material presents a three-dimensional network structure due to the cross-linking of silver nanowires with a high aspect ratio. Further hydrophilic and hydrophobic performance test results show that it exhibits exceptional water repellency, with a desirable static contact angle of 165° and roll-off angle of 6.2°. The superhydrophobic paper showcases excellent mechanical durability and maintains its superhydrophobicity even after enduring 130 linear sandpaper abrasion cycles or high-velocity water jetting impact benefited from interfacial van der Waals and hydrogen bonding. Simultaneously, the robust superhydrophobic surface can effectively prevent the penetration of acid or alkali solutions, as well as UV light, resulting in excellent chemical stability. Additionally, the superhydrophobic paper offers supplementary features such as self-cleaning, electrical conductivity, and antibacterial capability. Further development of this strategy paves a way toward next-generation superhydrophobic paper composed of nanostructures and characterized by multiple (or additional) functionalities.

[PMID: 38704904 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.134465] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/25/2023] [Revised: 02/23/2024] [Accepted: 04/26/2024] [Indexed: 05/07/2024]
Abstract
Oily wastewater and marine oil spills are a massive environmental and human threat. Conventional oil spill treatment methods include adsorption by absorbent materials, dispersants or adsorbents, and in situ burning. Superhydrophobic materials, as a material that can achieve oil-water separation, have great potential for application in oil spill treatment. Research on superhydrophobic oil spill treatment mainly focuses on materials such as sponges and fabrics. Although these materials can effectively perform oil-water separation or oil spill adsorption, they also have the disadvantages of complicated preparation methods and high costs. Here, we present a miniature device for oil-water separation and oil spill collection and recovery. The superhydrophobic copper mesh box can be used on its own as an oil-water separation device or in combination with a commercial polyurethane sponge as a miniature oil-absorbing device. The robust copper mesh is prepared in two steps: anodizing and impregnation. The superhydrophobic copper mesh had a high oil separation flux (32,330 L m-2 h-1) and efficiency (97%), which remained high (28,560 L m-2 h-1) and efficient (95%) after 20 cycles of separation. The combined micro oil adsorption device can adsorb different oils and fats on the water surface, and it has good reusability with oil adsorption capacity and efficiency up to 15.28 g/g and 98% and still has good oil adsorption capacity (11.54 g/g) and efficiency (94.6%) after 20 cycles of adsorption. Therefore, the prepared micro oil-absorbing device has promising application prospects in oil-water separation, oil spill cleanup, etc. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATION: This study demonstrates a facile electrochemical approach to prepare a miniature device for high-efficiency oil-water separation and oil spill collection and recovery. The modified copper mesh's separation flux could reach 32,330 L m-2 h-1, showing great promise in oil-water separation and oil spill cleanup.

Abstract
Based on organophosphorus branched polyols (AEPAs) synthesized using triethanolamine (TEOA), ortho-phosphoric acid (OPA), and polyoxyethylene glycol with MW = 400 (PEG), vapor-permeable polyurethane ionomers (AEPA-PEG-PUs) were obtained. During the synthesis of AEPAs, the reaction of the OPA etherification with polyoxyethylene glycol was studied in a wide temperature range and at different molar ratios of the starting components. It turned out that OPA simultaneously undergoes a catalytically activated etherification reaction with triethanolamine and PEG. After TEOA is fully involved in the etherification reaction, excess OPA does not react with the terminal hydroxyl groups of AEPA-PEG or the remaining amount of PEG. The ortho-phosphoric acid remaining in an unreacted state is involved in associative interactions with the phosphate ions of the AEPA. Increasing the synthesis temperature from 40 °C to 110 °C leads to an increase in OPA conversion. However, for the AEPA-PEG-PU based on AEPA-PEG obtained at 100 °C and 110 °C, ortho-phosphoric acid no longer enters into associative interactions with the phosphate ions of the AEPA. Due to the hydrophilicity of polyoxyethylene glycol, the presence of phosphate ions in the polyurethane structure, and their associative binding with the unreacted ortho-phosphoric acid, the diffusion of water molecules in polyurethanes is enhanced, and high values of vapor permeability and tensile strength were achieved.

Abstract
Indwelling medical catheters are frequently utilized in medical procedures, but they are highly susceptible to infection, posing a vital challenge for both health workers and patients. In this study, the superhydrophobic micro-nanostructure surface was constructed on the surface of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) membrane using heavy calcium carbonate (CaCO3) template. To decrease the surface free energy, hydroxyl silicone oil was grafted onto the surface, forming a super-hydrophobic surface. The water contact angle (WCA) increased from 91.1° to 143 ± 3° when the concentration of heavy calcium CaCO3 was 20% (weight-to-volume (w/v)). However, the increased WCA was unstable and tended to decrease over time. After grafting hydroxyl silicone oil, the WCA rose to 152.05 ± 1.62° and remained consistently high for a period of 30 min. Attenuated total reflection infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) analysis revealed a chemical crosslinking between silicone oil and the surface of TPU. Furthermore, Scanning electron microscope (SEM) image showed the presence of numerous nanoparticles on the micro surface. Atomic force microscope (AFM) testing indicated a significant improvement in surface roughness. This method of creating a hydrophobic surface demonstrated several advantages, including resistance to cell, bacterial, protein, and platelet adhesion and good biosecurity. Therefore, it holds promising potential for application in the development of TPU-based medical catheters with antibacterial properties.

Abstract
Multiscale nano/micro-structured surfaces with superhydrophobicity are abundantly observed in nature such as lotus leaves, rose petals and butterfly wings, where microstructures typically reinforce mechanical stability, while nanostructures predominantly govern wettability. To emulate such hierarchical structures in nature, various methods have been widely applied in the past few decades to the manufacture of multiscale structures which can be applied to functionalities ranging from anti-icing and water-oil separation to self-cleaning. In this review, we highlight recent advances in nano/micro-structured superhydrophobic surfaces, with particular focus on non-metallic materials as they are widely used in daily life due to their lightweight, abrasion resistance and ease of processing properties. This review is organized into three sections. First, fabrication methods of multiscale hierarchical structures are introduced with their strengths and weaknesses. Second, four main application areas of anti-icing, water-oil separation, anti-fog and self-cleaning are overviewed by assessing how and why multiscale structures need to be incorporated to carry out their performances. Finally, future directions and challenges for nano/micro-structured surfaces are presented.

Abstract
Laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry (LDI-MS) aroused intensive concerns for the merits of label-free and high-throughput analysis. Here, we designed a silver nanoparticles (AgNP)-modified indium vanadate nanosheets with doping samarium (AgNP@InVO4:Sm) nanosheets. The developed AgNP@InVO4:Sm nanosheets (AIVON) were synthesized based on the microemulsion-mediated solvothermal method and ultraviolet-assisted in situ formation of AgNP, then for the first time applied as a matrix in LDI-MS analysis. With the advantages including enhanced MS signal, little matrix-related background, high reproducibility, and good salt tolerance, AIVON exhibited much better prospect than non-modified indium vanadate nanosheets with doping samarium (IVON) and traditional organic matrix, thus allowing sensitive MS detection for a wide range of low-molecular-weight (LMW) molecules. Moreover, by coupling with headspace sampling thin-film microextraction (TFME), a kind of representative pollutant chlorophenols were identified and quantified via AIVON-assisted LDI-MS in environmental and biological samples. Volatile LMW pollutants could be preconcentrated after TFME, hence a sensitive and rapid assay with negligible sample matrix effect was realized by using AIVON-assisted LDI-MS. It is anticipated that this novel nano-matrix AIVON and the proposed TFME coupling detection strategy were of competitive merits for LDI-MS analysis in the fields of environment, biomedicine, and agriculture.

Abstract
In recent years, superhydrophobic coatings with self-cleaning abilities have attracted considerable attention. In this study, we introduced hydroxyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane (OH-PDMS) into castor-oil-based waterborne polyurethanes and synthesized silicone-modified castor-oil-based UV-curable waterborne polyurethanes (SCWPU). Further, we identified the optimal amount of OH-PDMS to be added and introduced different amounts of micro- and nanoscale heptadecafluorodecyltrimethoxysilane-modified SiO2 particles (FAS-SiO2) to prepare rough-surface SCWPU coatings with dense micro- and nanostructures, thus realizing waterborne superhydrophobic coatings. The results show that when the OH-PDMS content was 11 wt% and the total addition of FAS-SiO2 particles was 50% (with a 1:1:1 ratio of 100 nm, 1 µm, and 10 nm particles), the coatings exhibited a self-cleaning ability and superhydrophobicity with a contact angle of (152.36 ± 2.29)° and a roll-off angle of (4.9 ± 1.0)°. This castor-oil-based waterborne superhydrophobic coating has great potential for waterproofing, anti-fouling, anti-corrosion, and other applications.

Abstract
Porous polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) films with special surface wettability have potential applications in the biomedical, environmental, and structural mechanical fields. However, preparing porous PDMS films with a regular surface pattern using conventional methods, such as chemical foaming or physical pore formation, is challenging. In this study, porous PDMS films with a regular surface pattern are designed and prepared using 3D printing to ensure the formation of controllable and regular physical structures. First, the effect of the surface wettability of glass substrates with different surface energies (commercial hydrophilic glass and hydrophobic glass (F-glass) obtained by treating regular glass with 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorooctyl-trichlorosilane) on the structural characteristics of the 3D printed PDMS filaments is investigated systematically. Additionally, the effect of the printing speed and the surface wettability of the glass substrate on the PDMS filament morphology is investigated synchronously. Next, using the F-glass substrate and an optimized printing speed, the effects of the number of printed layers on both the morphologies of the individual PDMS filaments and porous PDMS films, and the surface wettability of the films are studied. This study reveals that regularly patterned porous PDMS films with distinct structural designs but the same controllable surface wettability, such as anisotropic surface wettability and superhydrophobicity, can be easily fabricated through 3D printing. This study provides a new method for fabricating porous PDMS films with a specific surface wettability, which can potentially expand the application of porous PDMS films.

Abstract
Bioinspired slippery surfaces (BSSs) have attracted considerable attention owing to their antifouling, drag reduction, and self-cleaning properties. Accordingly, various technical terms have been proposed for describing BSSs based on specific surface characteristics. However, the terminology can often be confusing, with similar-sounding terms having different meanings. Additionally, some terms fail to fully or accurately describe BSS characteristics, such as the surface wettability of lubricants (hydrophilic or hydrophobic), surface wettability anisotropy (anisotropic or isotropic), and substrate morphology (porous or smooth). Therefore, a timely and thorough review is required to clarify and distinguish the various terms used in BSS literature. This review initially categorizes BSSs into four types: slippery solid surfaces (SSSs), slippery liquid-infused surfaces (SLISs), slippery liquid-like surfaces (SLLSs), and slippery liquid-solid surfaces (SLSSs). Because SLISs have been the primary research focus in this field, we thoroughly review their design and fabrication principles, which can also be applied to the other three types of BSS. Furthermore, we discuss the existing BSS fabrication methods, smart BSS systems, antifouling applications, limitations of BSS, and future research directions. By providing comprehensive and accurate definitions of various BSS types, this review aims to assist researchers in conveying their results more clearly and gaining a better understanding of the literature.

Abstract
Organosilicon modified polyurethane elastomers (Si-MTPUs) were synthesized in order to improve the anti-graffiti property of thermoplastic polyurethane elastomers (TPUs). Si-MTPUs were prepared from polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and polytetramethylene glycol (PTMG) as mixed soft segment, 1,4-butanediol (BDO) and imidazole salt ionic liquid N-glyceryl-N-methyl imidazolium chloride ([MIMl,g]Cl) used as chain extender, and 4,4'-dicyclohexylmethane diisocyanate (HMDI). The structure, thermal stability, mechanical properties and physical crosslinking density of Si-MTPUs were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetry analysis (TGA), mechanical test and low field nuclear magnetic resonance. Surface energy and water absorption were characterized by static contact angle test and water resistance test, and anti-graffiti and self-cleaning properties were characterized with water, milk, ink, lipstick, oily markers and spray paint. It was found that the mechanical properties of Si-MTPU-10 with the content of PDMS 10 wt% were optimized, with a maximum tensile strength of 32.3 MPa and elongation at break of 656%. Surface energy reached the minimum value of 23.1 mN m-1 with the best anti-graffiti performance, which no longer decreased with the increase of PDMS contents. This work provides novel idea and strategy for the preparation of low surface energy TPUs.

Abstract
To meet more application requirements, improving mechanical properties and self-healing efficiency has become the focus of current research on self-healing PU. The competitive relationship between self-healing ability and mechanical properties cannot be avoided by a single self-healing method. To address this problem, a growing number of studies have combined dynamic covalent bonding with other self-healing methods to construct the PU structure. This review summarizes recent studies on PU materials that combine typical dynamic covalent bonds with other self-healing methods. It mainly includes four parts: hydrogen bonding, metal coordination bonding, nanofillers combined with dynamic covalent bonding and multiple dynamic covalent bond bonding. The advantages and disadvantages of different self-healing methods and their significant role in improving self-healing ability and mechanical properties in PU networks are analyzed. At the same time, the possible challenges and research directions of self-healing PU materials in the future are discussed.

Abstract
Limited postharvest life of tomato fruit is due to its highly perishable nature. Hypobaric pressure is a new emerging hurdle technology usually used up to a pressure of 100 kPa for the preservation of fruits and vegetables. In this study, an integrated approach of hypobaric pressures (40 kPa and 50 kPa) and sponge-dipping of potassium permanganate (KMnO4) was designed for the postharvest life extension of tomato fruits. Fruits were treated with either 400 ppm of KMnO4, or 40 or 50 kPa hypobaric pressures, or their combination. Fruits without any treatment was considered as a control treatment. All groups were packaged in polypropylene trays as ready to retail and stored at room temperature at 25 ± 1 °C for 21 days. Basic quality parameters such as pH, total soluble solid, percent weight loss, percent spoilage, firmness, ethylene production rate, and color were evaluated at 3-day intervals. Results showed the application of hypobaric pressures and KMnO4, either alone or in combination, provided a synergistic effect in maintaining the quality compared to the control treatment during the 21 days of storage. The highest decay was found in the control compared to the combined treatments of KMnO4 + 40 kPa and KMnO4 + 50 kPa. Similarly, a decrease in firmness and color values was highest in the control treatment followed by the KMnO4 and 50 kPa hypobaric pressure compared to the combined treatment of KMnO4 + 50 kPa. In the same way, a high ethylene production rate was observed in the control, while the lowest ethylene production rate was found in KMnO4 + 50 kpa. Sensory evaluation indicated a highest score of 9 on the 9-point hedonic scale of tomato fruits. Among all groups, the combined application of 50 kPa hypobaric pressure + 400 ppm KMnO4 retained the best overall quality attributes compared to all other treatments throughout the experiment; therefore, this treatment could be applied at a commercial level for tomato fruits.

Abstract
Bio-based polyurethanes are promising for the controlled release of nutrients and fertilizers, but their toughness and plasticity need to be improved. We developed a smooth, dense, elastic, and indestructible bio-based polyurethane (BPU) coating with a nutrient controlled release ∼150% superior, a tensile strength ∼300% higher, and a toughness ∼1200% higher than those for the original BPU coating. Through a one-step reaction of soybean oil polyols (accounting for more than 60%), isocyanate, and benzil dioxime, the dynamic covalent network based on oxime-carbamate replaces part of irreversible covalent cross-linking. The dynamic fracture-bonding reaction in the modified coating BPU can effectively promote the hydrogen bond recombination and oxime-carbamate chain migration in the coating process, which avoids the structural defects caused by coating tear and fertilizer collision. This work provides a simple and versatile strategy for building controlled-release fertilizer coatings.

Abstract
In this work, eco-friendly superhydrophobic coatings were prepared by dispersing hydrophobic silica nanoparticles and a waterborne silicone-modified polyurethane dispersion into an ethanol solution, which was free of fluorine and volatile toxic solvents. The effects of the silica content on the hydrophobicity and scratch resistance of the hydrophobic surfaces were investigated by WCA measurements and a sandpaper abrasion test, respectively. The experimental results indicated that when the silica content exceeded 30% by mass, the silica/silicone-modified polyurethane coatings had superhydrophobicity. Meanwhile, the superhydrophobic coatings with a silica content of 30% by mass simultaneously had the optimal mechanical stability. We studied the morphology and roughness of the hydrophobic surfaces with different silica content and attempted to briefly explain the influence mechanism of silica content. Furthermore, anti-icing and oil-water separation experiments were carried out on the superhydrophobic coatings, which exhibited good anti-icing performance and high separation efficiency. The eco-friendly superhydrophobic coating is expected to be applied in the fields of oil-water separation, anti-icing, and self-cleaning, etc.

Abstract
In this paper, we prepared a new type of thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV) by melt blending methyl vinyl phenyl silicone rubber (PSR), styrene butylene copolymer (SBS), and hydrogenated SBS (SEBS) and then dynamically vulcanizing it. At the same time, we studied the influence of the content of the vulcanizing agent on the properties. The corresponding backscattered electron images were obtained by a scanning electron microscope (SEM) test of each group of samples, as well as the distribution of the PSR phase and the SEBS-SBS phase, and the vulcanization process of the samples with a vulcanizing agent content of 1 phr were characterized. According to the imaging principle of the backscattered electron signal, we found that the atomic number contrast can be clearly reflected in the backscattered image. From the obtained images, we found that PSR is a dispersed phase, while SEBS and SBS are continuous phases, that is, they had a "Sea-Island" structure. In the first 30 s of the vulcanization reaction, the "Sea-Island" structure is formed, and then the vulcanization reaction rate gradually slows down. We then printed the images and analyzed them using a colorimeter and found that it was feasible to quantitatively characterize the size of the compatible layer between the continuous and dispersed phases. According to the quantitative characterization results, we found that the silane coupling agent KH-172 can increase the thickness of the compatible layer by nearly 35%. In addition, we also tested the mechanical properties and low-temperature elastic properties of the material. Finally, we found that when the content of the vulcanizing agent was 1 phr, the elastic properties and tensile properties were the best, and when the content of the vulcanizing agent was more than 1 phr, the tensile and elastic properties of the material decreased significantly. At the same time, we also found that the addition of the silane coupling agent KH-172 can also significantly improve the tensile properties and elastic properties of TPV, which we believe is related to the increase in the thickness of the compatible layer. The test results of dynamic mechanics show that PSR has good compatibility with SEBS-SBS. When the vulcanizing agent content is less than or equal to 1 phr, the material exhibits good low-temperature resistance. In addition, through the test of the melt index of each group, it was also found that the addition of the vulcanizing agent will affect the fluidity of the melt to a certain extent. When the content of the vulcanizing agent is greater than 1 phr, the melt fluidity decreases more obviously.

Abstract
Biodegradable polylactide (PLA) has been widely utilized in people's daily lives. In order to improve the fire safety of PLA, ammonium polyphosphate (APP) was self-assembled onto the surface of serpentine Ni3Si2O5(OH)4 through the electrostatic method, followed by mixing with PLA by melt compounding. The APP-modified serpentine (serpentine@APP) dispersed uniformly in the PLA matrix. Compared with pure PLA, the PLA composite with 2 wt% serpentine@APP reduced the peak heat release rate (pHRR) and total heat release (THR) by 43.9% and 16.3%, respectively. The combination of APP and serpentine exhibited suitable synergistic flame-retardant effects on the fire safety enhancement of PLA. In addition, the dynamical rheological tests revealed that the presence of APP and serpentine could reduce the viscosity of PLA composites. The plasticizing effects of APP and serpentine benefited the processing of PLA. The mechanical properties of PLA/serpentine@APP maintained suitable performance as pure PLA. This study provided a feasible way to enhance the fire safety of PLA without sacrificing its mechanical properties.

Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14235159. [PMID: 36501553 PMCID: PMC9738286 DOI: 10.3390/polym14235159] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2022] [Revised: 11/18/2022] [Accepted: 11/23/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Bio-based porous materials can reduce energy consumption and environmental impact, and they have a possible application as packaging materials. In this study, a bio-based porous foam was prepared by using a Pickering emulsion as a template. Nisin and waterborne polyurethane (WPU) were used for physical modification of 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl piperidine-1-oxyl-oxidized cellulose nanocrystals (TOCNC). The obtained composite particles were applied as stabilizers for acrylated epoxidized soybean oil (AESO) Pickering emulsion. The stability of the emulsion was characterized by determination of the rheological properties and microscopic morphology of the emulsion. The emulsion stabilized by composite particles showed better stability compared to case when TOCNC were used. The porous foam was obtained by heating a composite-particles-stabilized Pickering emulsion at 90 °C for 2 h. SEM (scanning electron microscopy) images showed that the prepared foam had uniformly distributed pores. In addition, the thermal conductivity of the foam was 0.33 W/m·k, which was a significant decrease compared to the 3.92 W/m·k of the TOCNC foam. The introduction of nisin and WPU can reduce the thermal conductivity of the foam, and the physically modified, TOCNC-stabilized Pickering emulsion provides an effective means to preparing bio-based porous materials.

Abstract
Diisocyanates, a key monomer in polyurethane, are generally lost during recycling. Polyurethane alcoholysis to carbamate and subsequent cracking to isocyanate represents a promising, phosgene-free recycling route. This work reports the thermal and catalytic cracking of a model carbamate (Methyl N-phenyl carbamate, MPC) to isocyanate (Phenyl isocyanate). Multiple catalysts (ZnO, Bi2O3, Al2O3, and Montmorillonite K-10) were evaluated in a closed system (batch autoclaves) to decompose MPC at temperatures of 160-200 °C, with a thorough analysis of the products and high (≥90%) mole balance. The thermal reaction was very limited at these temperatures, whereas the catalytic reaction led mainly to aniline and urea and seemed to be dominated by water adsorbed on the catalyst surface.

Analysis of Particle Variation Effect on Flexural Properties of Hollow Glass Microsphere Filled Epoxy Matrix Syntactic Foam Composites. Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14224848.

Abstract
Syntactic foam made from hollow glass microspheres (HGM) in an epoxy matrix has proven to be a good material with a strong structural strength. Understanding filler particle size variation is important in composite material formation, especially in syntactic foam, because of its numerous applications such as aerospace, marine, and structural purposes. In this present work, the effects of particle variation in different sizes (20-24 µm, 25-44 µm, 45-49 µm, and 50-60 µm) on the mechanical properties of the syntactic foam composites with a focus on flexural strength, modulus, and fracture surfaces are investigated. The particle sizes are varied into five volume fractions (5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 vol%). The results show that the highest flexural strength is 89 MPa at a 5 vol% fraction of 50-60 µm particle size variation with a 69% increase over the neat epoxy. This implies that the incorporation of HGM filler volume fraction and size variation has a strong effect on the flexural strength and bending modulus of syntactic foam. The highest particle size distribution is 31.02 at 25-44 µm. The storage modulus E' increased at 30 °C, 50 °C, and 60 °C by 3.2%, 47%, and 96%, respectively. The effects of wall thickness and aspect ratio on the size of the microstructure, the fracture surfaces, and the viscoelastic properties are determined and reported accordingly.

Abstract
Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) is widely used in daily life due to its characteristics of light weight, high impact strength, and compression resistance. However, TPU products are extremely flammable and will generate toxic fumes under fire attack, threatening human life and safety. In this article, a nanohybrid flame retardant was designed for the fire safety of TPU. Herein, Co3O4 was anchored on the surface of exfoliated ultra-thin boron nitride nanosheets (BNNO@Co3O4) via coprecipitation and subsequent calcination. Then, a polyphosphazene (PPZ) layer was coated onto BNNO@Co3O4 by high temperature polymerization to generate a nanohybrid flame retardant named BNNO@Co3O4@PPZ. The cone calorimeter results exhibited that the heat release and smoke production during TPU combustion were remarkably restrained after the incorporation of the nanohybrid flame retardant. Compared with pure TPU, the peak heat release rate (PHRR) decreased by 44.1%, the peak smoke production rate (PSPR) decreased by 51.2%, and the peak CO production rate (PCOPR) decreased by 72.5%. Based on the analysis of carbon residues after combustion, the significant improvement in fire resistance of TPU by BNNO@Co3O4@PPZ was attributed to the combination of quenching effect, catalytic carbonization effect, and barrier effect. In addition, the intrinsic mechanical properties of TPU were well maintained due to the existence of the PPZ organic layer.

Abstract
Waterproof and breathable membranes, which have great potential in applications such as membrane distillation, self-cleaning, and multifunctional clothing, have attracted a lot of attention due to their superior performance. Superhydrophobic and infrared-invisible polyurethane (PU)/silica (SiO2) nanofiber microporous membranes were prepared by facile electrospinning and a hydrothermal-assisted sol-gel method. Compared with pure PU nanofiber membranes, silica nanoparticles act as an adhesion layer, which can provide the rough surface and low surface energy of fibrous membranes. Therefore, the grafted PU/SiO2 nanofiber membrane was endowed with a good superhydrophobic effect, and its water contact angle (WCA) reached 161°. The nanofiber membrane exhibited comfortable waterproof and breathable properties, in which the air permeability and water vapor transfer rate was 5.18 mm s-1 and 7.85 kg m-2 d-1, respectively. When the PU/SiO2 nanofiber membrane was irradiated by infrared light, the surface of the fiber membrane showed a green, low-temperature state. These waterproof and breathable nanofiber membranes with superhydrophobic properties could be used in anti-icing, outdoor concealment, and camouflage applications.

Abstract
Chrysin is a natural bioactive molecule with various groups, and it has been a challenge to separate and enrich chrysin from natural products. Molecularly imprinted polymers have been widely used in the extraction of natural products, but the number and type of functional monomers limits the separation effect. The synergistic action of multiple functional monomers can improve the separation effect. In this paper, molecularly imprinted polymers (Bi-MIPs) were prepared using methacrylic acid and acrylamide as binary functional monomers for the separation and enrichment of chrysin. The Bi-MIPs were characterized using thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The performances of Bi-MIPs were assessed, which included adsorption isotherms, selective recognition and adsorption kinetics. The experimental results show that Bi-MIPs are shaped as a uniform sphere with an abundant pocket structure on its surface. The adsorption of chrysin on the Bi-MIPs followed a pseudo-second-order and adapted Langmuir–Freundlich isotherm models. The adsorption performance of the Bi-MIPs was determined at different temperatures, and the Bi-MIPs showed excellent adsorption performance at 30 °C. The initial decomposition temperature of the Bi-MIPs was 220 °C. After five times of adsorption and desorption, the adsorption performance of the Bi-MIPs decreased by only 7%. In contrast with single functional monomer molecularly imprinted polymers (Si-MIPs), the Bi-MIPs showed excellent specificity, with an imprinting factor of 1.54. The Bi-MIPs are promising materials in the separation and enrichment of chrysin for their high adsorption capacity, low cost and being environmentally friendly.

Abstract
Mineral ions (mainly calcium ions) from sugarcane juice can be trapped inside the heating tubes of evaporators and vacuum boiling pans, and calcium ions are precipitated. Consequently, sugar productivity and yield are negatively affected. Calcium ions can be removed from sugarcane juice using adsorption. This paper described the experimental condition for the batch adsorption performance of rosin-based macroporous cationic resins (RMCRs) for calcium ions. The kinetics of adsorption was defined by the pseudo-first-order model, and the isotherms of calcium ions followed the Freundlich isotherm model. The maximal monolayer adsorption capacity of calcium ions was 37.05 mg·g-1 at a resin dosage of 4 g·L-1, pH of 7.0, temperature of 75 °C, and contact time of 10 h. It appeared that the adsorption was spontaneous and endothermic based on the thermodynamic parameters. The removal rate of calcium ions in remelt syrup by RMCRs was 90.71%. Calcium ions were effectively removed from loaded RMCRs by 0.1 mol·L-1 of HCl, and the RMCRs could be recycled. The dynamic saturated adsorption capacity of RMCRs for calcium ions in remelt syrup was 37.90 mg·g-1. These results suggest that RMCRs are inexpensive and efficient adsorbents and have potential applications for removing calcium ions in remelt syrup.

Abstract
The separation and extraction of chrysin from active ingredients of natural products are of great significance, but the existing separation and extraction methods have certain drawbacks. Here, chrysin molecularly imprinted nanofiber membranes (MINMs) were prepared by means of electrospinning using chrysin as a template and polyvinyl alcohol and natural renewable resource rosin ester as membrane materials, which were used for the separation of active components in the natural product. The MINM was examined using Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The adsorption performance, adsorption kinetics, adsorption selectivity, and reusability of the MINM were investigated in static adsorption experiments. The analysis results show that the MINM was successfully prepared with good morphology and thermal stability. The MINM has a good adsorption capacity for chrysin, showing fast adsorption kinetics, and the maximum adsorption capacity was 127.5 mg·g−1, conforming to the Langmuir isotherm model and pseudo-second-order kinetic model. In addition, the MINM exhibited good selectivity and excellent reusability. Therefore, the MINM proposed in this paper is a promising material for the adsorption and separation of chrysin.

Abstract
An isocyanate with trimethoxysilane groups at the side chains (IPDI-M) was synthesized via an addition between the mercaptopropyl trimethoxysilane groups (MPTMS) and IPDI tripolymer (IPDI-T). Then, silane grafted isocyanate as the functional hard segment, castor oil as the soft segment, poly (ethylene adipate) diol (PEA) as the chain extender, and MPTMS as an end-capping reagent were applied to form a series of organosilicon hybrid bio-based polyurethane (CPUSi). The effect of the IPDI-M contents on the thermal stability, mechanical properties, and surface properties of the resulting product was systematically investigated. Profit from the Si–O–Si crosslinked structures formed from MPTMS curing, the tensile strength, and Young’s modulus of the resulting products increased from 9.5 MPa to 22.3 Mpa and 4.05 Mpa to 81.59 Mpa, respectively, whereas the elongation at break decreased from 342% to 101%. The glass transition temperature, thermal stability, transparency, hydrophobicity, and chemical resistance were remarkably strengthened for the obtained organosilicon-modified polyurethane with the increasing MPTMS content. At the end of the work, the thermal insulation coating that was based on CPUSi and ATO can effectively block near-infrared rays, and the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the film reached 15.1 °C.
