Abstract
Due to its excellent properties, poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) is one of the most produced and consumed polymers. Among plastics, it represents the main contributor to environmental pollution. Following the circular economy model, the chemical upcycling of PET reduces the amount of waste generated and transforms it into high-value products. The depolymerization of poly(ethylene terephthalate) into oligomers or monomers leads to forming a library of reactive molecules involved in different polymerization processes to obtain compounds with improved properties. Herein, several β-hydroxy amines were synthesized and used for the chemical recycling of water bottle waste by an environmental benefit aminolysis process to get very useful new terephthalamide diol monomers. The recycled diol monomers were subsequently exploited to synthesize poly(urethane acrylates) (PUAs) UV-curable coatings, and their chemical, thermal and mechanical characterizations were performed. The results show the great potential of the developed synthesis protocols to obtain PUAs with final properties that can be modulated to meet the requirements of different applications.

[PMID: 36984035 PMCID: PMC10056724 DOI: 10.3390/ma16062156] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2023] [Revised: 03/03/2023] [Accepted: 03/06/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
A series of thermoresponsive shape-memory photopolymers have been synthesized from the mixtures of two biobased monomers, tetrahydrofurfuryl acrylate and tridecyl methacrylate, with the addition of a small amount of 1,3-benzendithiol (molar ratio of monomers 0-10:0.5:0.03, respectively). Ethyl (2,4,6 trimethylbenzoyl) phenylphosphinate was used as photoinitiator. The calculated biorenewable carbon content of these photopolymers was in the range of (63.7-74.9)%. The increase in tetrahydrofurfuryl acrylate content in the photocurable resins resulted in a higher rate of photocuring, increased rigidity, as well as mechanical and thermal characteristics of the obtained polymers. All photopolymer samples showed thermoresponsive shape-memory behavior when reaching their glass transition temperature. The developed biobased photopolymers can replace petroleum-derived thermoresponsive shape-memory polymer analogues in a wide range of applications.

Abstract
Recent years have seen research into developing specific application-based materials with particular components. Bio-based polyurethanes (PUs) with self-tightening effect through shape recovery at low temperature have been designed from sesame oil-based plasticizer (HSSO). Without using a catalyst, the produced plasticizer was used to create PU samples. In contrast, orcein-based PU has been created both with and without HSSO. The prepared samples have been analyzed through instrumental as well as chemical analyses for surface chemistry, thermal stability and morphology. The gel content and water absorption capacity of HSSO based PU samples has been observed to be 99.27% and 14.94%, respectively. Shape memory study of the PU samples revealed that HSSO-based PU showed fast shape recovery at 60 °C with shape recovery rate (R r) and shape fixing rate (R f) of 94.44% and 5%, respectively, in 150 seconds, whereas at 36 °C the sample showed 85% R r in 15 minutes with 93.1196 N force and 52.78% R r without force. Low-temperature thermal actuation and high water uptake highlight the prepared samples as suitable candidates for self-tightening structures in textile and biomedical fields.

Abstract
Shape memory polymers (SMPs) have a wide range of potential applications in many fields. In particular, electrically driven SMPs have attracted increasing attention due to their unique electrical deformation behaviors. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are often used as SMP conductive fillers because of their excellent electrical conductivities. However, raw CNTs do not disperse into the polymer matrix well. This strictly limits their use. In this study, to improve their dispersion performance characteristics in the polymer matrix, hydroxylated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT-OHs) were functionalized with octadecyl isocyanate (i-MWCNTs). Polyurethane with shape memory properties (SMPU) was synthesized using polycaprolactone diol (PCL-diol), hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI), and 1,4-butanediol (BDO) at a 1:5:4 ratio. Then, electroactive shape memory composites were developed by blending SMPU with i-MWCNTs to produce SMPU/i-MWCNTs. The functionalized i-MWCNTs exhibited better dispersibility characteristics in organic solvents and SMPU composites than the MWCNT-OHs. The addition of i-MWCNTs reduced the crystallinity of SMPU without affecting the original chemical structure. In addition, the hydrogen bond index and melting temperature of the SMPU soft segment decreased significantly, and the thermal decomposition temperatures of the composites increased. The SMPU/i-MWCNT composites exhibited conductivity when the i-MWCNT content was 0.5 wt%. This conductivity increased with the i-MWCNT content. In addition, when the i-MWCNT content exceeded 1 wt%, the composite temperature could increase beyond 60°C within 140 s and the temporary structure could be restored to its initial state within 120 s using a voltage of 30 eV. Therefore, the functionalized CNTs exhibit excellent potential for use in the development of electroactive shape memory composites, which may be used in flexible electronics and other fields.

Abstract
Over the past few years, development of wearable devices has gained increasing momentum. Notably, the demand for stretchable strain sensors has significantly increased due to many potential and emerging applications such as human motion monitoring, prosthetics, robotic systems, and touch panels. Recently, hydrogels have been developed to overcome the drawbacks of the elastomer-based wearable strain sensors, caused by insufficient biocompatibility, brittle mechanical properties, complicated fabrication process, as the hydrogels can provide a combination of various exciting properties such as intrinsic electrical conductivity, suitable mechanical properties, and biocompatibility. There are numerous research works reported in the literature which consider various aspects as preparation approaches, design strategies, properties control, and applications of hydrogel-based strain sensors. This article aims to present a review on this exciting topic with a new insight on the hydrogel-based wearable strain sensors in terms of their features, strain sensory performance, and prospective applications. In this respect, we first briefly review recent advances related to designing the materials and the methods for promoting hydrogels' intrinsic features. Then, strain (both tensile and pressure) sensing performance of prepared hydrogels is critically studied, and alternative approaches for their high-performance sensing are proposed. Subsequently, this review provides several promising applications of hydrogel-based strain sensors, including bioapplications and human-machine interface devices. Finally, challenges and future outlooks of conductive and stretchable hydrogels employed in the wearable strain sensors are discussed.
