Abstract
Lightweight polyimide foams (PIFs) with exceptional thermal resistance and compressive properties are fabricated by heating polyester ammonium salts (PEASs) which are prepared by copolymerizing 4, 4'-diaminobenzanilide (DABA), 4, 4'-diaminodiphenyl methane (MDA) and 3, 3', 4, 4'-benzophenone tetracarboxylic dianhydride (BTDA). Hydrogen bonds are formed between CONH and CO in the PI chains due to the addition of DABA and the melt viscosity of PEAS precursors increase with increasing content of DABA, which is advantageous to bind the foaming gases for cell expansion. The expansion ratio of PEAS precursors is increased from 633% to 1133% when the molar ratio of MDA/DABA is changed from 10:0 to 6:4. The compressive strength and modulus of PIFM9D1 (i.e., the molar ratio of MDA/DABA is 9:1, foam density: 120.8 kg m-3 ) reach as high as 0.59 and 15.0 MPa, respectively. The PIFs possess prominent thermal performance with the initial thermal degradation temperatures (under both nitrogen and air atmosphere) and glass transition temperatures (as assessed by DSC and DMA) exceeding 511 and 292 °C, respectively. The thermal conductivity of PIFs is lower than 0.049 W m-1 K-1 , which exhibits promising applications for serving as high-temperature thermal insulation materials in the fields of aerospace, marine, and nuclear sectors among others.

Abstract
The study of natural cellular materials offers valuable insights into the superior properties and functions underlying their unique structure and benefits the design and fabrication of advanced biomimetic materials. In this study, we present a systematic investigation of the mechanical behavior of fresh and oven-dried pomelo peels. Density measurements revealed the gradient structure of the pomelo peel, which contributed to its mechanical properties. Step-by-step drying revealed two types of water in the peel. Both uniaxial compression and low-strain hysteresis tests were conducted, and the results showed that fresh pomelo peel exhibits soft elastomer-like behavior, while dried pomelo peel behaves more like conventional synthetic polymer foam. Compared to fresh pomelo peel, dried peel samples showed higher compressive modulus and energy loss in 6, 8 and 10% strain hysteresis tests. The rehydration process was studied using hysteresis tests at three different strains. In addition, multilayer gradient EO/EO and LDPE/LDPE film/foams with 16 alternating layers were produced using the microlayer coextrusion technique. The morphology and mechanical properties were examined and indicated great potential for biomimicking the structure and properties of pomelo peel.

Abstract
Biodegradable polymers can be used for eco-friendly, functional, active packaging to preserve food quality. Incorporation of titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles into polymer packaging enhances ethylene-scavenging activity and extends the shelf-life of fresh produce. In this study, TiO2 nanoparticles were incorporated into biodegradable poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT)- and thermoplastic cassava starch (TPS)-blended films to produce nanocomposite packaging via blown-film extrusion. The effects of TiO2 on morphology, packaging properties, and applications as functional packaging for fresh produce were investigated. Increased TiO2 in the film packaging increased amorphous starch content and hydrogen bonding by interacting with the TPS phase of the polymer blend, with negligible chemical interaction with the PBAT component and identical mechanical relaxation in the PBAT phase. Surface topography indicated void space due to non-homogeneous dispersion causing increased oxygen and carbon dioxide permeability. Homogeneous dispersion of fine TiO2 nanoparticles increased mechanical strength and reduced oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water vapor permeability. Films containing TiO2 also showed efficient oxygen-scavenging activity that removed residual oxygen from the package headspace dependent on the levels and morphology of nanoparticles in the film matrices. Banana fruit packaged in films containing TiO2 recorded slower darkening color change and enhanced shelf-life with increasing TiO2 content.

Abstract
Abstract
Graphene nanoplates (GNPs) and graphene oxide (GO) were used to investigate the effects of surface free energy (SFE) of nanoparticles on the cellular structure and mechanical properties of phenolic nanocomposite foams. The results showed that the SFE of nanoparticles is a key parameter in determining the interfacial action between fillers and matrix before foaming, which in turn determines the energy barrier of bubble nucleation during foaming process. It indicated that the higher interfacial energy of GO brought out the lower Gibbs free energy and smaller driving force for heterogeneous nucleation, leading to smaller cell size with more uniform distribution. According to the effect of SFE in foaming process, different mass fractions of GNPs and GO were used in phenolic foams to investigate the effects of heterogeneous nucleating agent on cell nucleation. As a result, phenolic foam with 0.6 wt% graphene oxide (GO-0.6/PF) exhibited the optimized mechanical properties and cell microstructure.
