Abstract
Microplastic pollution has become one of the most concerned focuses in the world. Among many treatment methods, photocatalysis is considered to be one of the most environmentally friendly methods. In this work, the photodegradation behavior of polyamide microplastics is studied by using polyamide 6 PA6) as model microplastics and FeCl3 as catalyst. It is hoped that the PA6 fiber can be effectively degraded by utilizing the strong oxidizing active species that can be produced after FeCl3 is irradiated in water. The results shows that PA6 fiber can be almost completely degraded after 10 days of irradiation in FeCl3 aqueous solution, indicating that it is promising to use this new method to solve the problem of PA6 type microplastics. In addition, the chain scission mechanism and degradation process of PA6 are analyzed in detail by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS), which provides a new insight for the study of polymer degradation mechanism.

Abstract
Embedded silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) within nanofibers represent a highly promising alternative to common antimicrobial materials, due to the combined effective biocidal properties of Ag NPs with the biocompatibility and environmental friendliness of biobased polymers. In this study, we presented a novel one-step route to fabricate biobased polyamide 56 (PA56) nanofibers embedded with uniform Ag NPs. The process involved mixing reactive silver ammonia with PA56 solutions and then using formic acid as a reducing agent. Continuous electrospinning resulted in solvent evaporation, yielding Ag NPs highly dispersed within PA56 nanonet fibrous structures (PA56/Ag). Characterization assays confirmed the successful impregnation of Ag NPs in PA56 nanofibers, with an average size of about 32.4 nm. PA56/Ag nanofibers also displayed suitable morphology, mechanical properties, and good biocompatibility in vitro. Moreover, their antimicrobial effectiveness was evaluated against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Collectively, the proposed PA56/Ag nanofibers possess desirable characteristics suitable for antimicrobial applications.

Pseudo-Eutectic of Isodimorphism to Design Biaxially-Oriented Bio-Based PA56/512 with High Strength, Toughness and Barrier Performances. Polymers (Basel) 2024; 16:1176. [PMID: 38675095 PMCID: PMC11053481 DOI: 10.3390/polym16081176] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2024] [Revised: 04/12/2024] [Accepted: 04/14/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
The biaxially-oriented PA56/512 has excellent mechanical strength, extensibility and water-oxygen barrier properties and has broad application prospects in green packaging, lithium battery diaphragm and medical equipment materials. The correlation between the aggregation structure evolution and macroscopic comprehensive properties of copolymer PA56/512 under biaxial stretching has been demonstrated in this work. The structure of the random copolymerization sequence was characterized by 13C Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The typical isodimorphism behavior of the co-crystallization system of PA56/512 and its BOPA-56/512 films was revealed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) tests. And the aggregation structure, including the hydrogen bond arrangement, crystal structure and crystal morphology of PA56/512 before and after biaxial stretching, was investigated by XRD, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and polarized optical microscopy (POM) tests. Furthermore, the effect of the biaxially-oriented stretching process on the mechanical properties of PA56/512 has been demonstrated. In addition, a deep insight into the influence of the structure on the crystallization process and physical-mechanical performance has been presented. The lowest melting point at a 512 content of 60 mol% is regarded as a "eutectic" point of the isodimorphism system. Due to the high disorder of the structural units in the polymer chain, the transition degree of the folded chain (gauche conformation) is relatively lowest when it is straightened to form an extended chain (trans conformation) during biaxially-oriented stretching, and part of the folded chain can be retained. This explains why biaxially stretched PA56/512 has high strength, outstanding toughness and excellent barrier properties at the pseudo-eutectic point. In this study, using the unique multi-scale aggregation structure characteristics of a heterohomodymite polyamide at the pseudo-eutectic point, combined with the new material design scheme and the idea of biaxial-stretching processing, a new idea for customized design of high-performance multifunctional polyamide synthetic materials is provided.

Abstract
Weak bonds usually make macromolecules stronger; therefore, they are often used to enhance the mechanical strength of polymers. Not enough studies have been reported on the use of weak bonds in flame retardants. A water-soluble polyelectrolyte complex composed of polyethyleneimine (PEI), sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP) and melamine (MEL) was designed and utilized to treat bio-based polyamide 56 (PA56) by a simple three-step process. It was found that weak bonds cross-linked the three compounds to a 3D network structure with MEL on the surface of the coating under mild conditions. The thermal stability and flame retardancy of PA56 fabrics were improved by the controlled coating without losing their mechanical properties. After washing 50 times, PA56 still kept good flame retardancy. The cross-linking network structure of the flame retardant enhanced both the thermal stability and durability of the fabric. STPP acted as a catalyst for the breakage of the PA56 molecular chain, PEI facilitated the char formation and MEL released non-combustible gases. The synergistic effect of all compounds was exploited by using weak bonds. This simple method of developing structures with 3D cross-linking using weak bonds provides a new strategy for the preparation of low-cost and environmentally friendly flame retardants.

Abstract
Side substitution is an effective way of functionalizing and modifying the properties of polyamides. Meanwhile, side substitution would significantly influence the crystallization kinetics and polymorphic phase transition of polyamides, which, however, has not been well elucidated. Herein, we synthesized the side-substituted long-chain polyamides with various content of methyl pendent groups and investigated their crystallization and phase transition behaviors. We find that the thermal parameters of side-substituted polyamides vary linearly with the side group content, analogous to the isomorphic crystallization of random copolymers. All the solution-crystallized polyamides experience the α-γ Brill transition during heating, with the Brill transition temperature linearly decreasing as the side group content increases. Intriguingly, the γ-α transition of polyamides during cooling is suppressed with the presence of side methyl groups due to the difficulty in H-bond reorganization and gauche-trans conformational changes. This work has demonstrated the critical role of side substitution in the polymorphic crystallization and phase transition of long-chain polyamides.

Abstract
Polyamide 56 (PA56) has gained significant attention in the academic field due to its remarkable mechanical and thermal properties as a highly efficient and versatile biobased material. Its superior moisture absorption property also makes it a unique advantage in the realm of fiber textiles. However, despite extensive investigations on PA56's molecular and aggregate state structure, as well as processing modifications, little attention has been paid to its polymerization mechanism. Herein, the influence of temperature and time on PA56's polycondensation reaction is detailed studied by end-group titration and carbon nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques. The reaction kinetics equations for the pre-polymerization and vacuum melt-polymerization stages of PA56 are established, and possible side reactions during the polycondensation process are analyzed. By optimizing the reaction process based on kinetic characteristics, PA56 resin with superior comprehensive properties (melting temperature of 252.6 °C, degradation temperature of 371.6 °C, and tensile strength of 75 MPa) is obtained. The findings provide theoretical support for the industrial production of high-quality biobased PA56.

Abstract
This study introduces the development of a thermally responsive shape-morphing fabric using low-melting-point polyamide shape memory actuators. To facilitate the blending of biomaterials, we report the synthesis and characterization of a biopolyamide with a relatively low melting point. Additionally, we present a straightforward and solvent-free method for the compatibilization of starch particles with the synthesized biopolyamide, aiming to enhance the sustainability of polyamide and customize the actuation temperature. Subsequently, homogeneous dispersion of up to 70 wt % compatibilized starch particles into the matrix is achieved. The resulting composites exhibit excellent mechanical properties comparable to those reported for soft and tough materials, making them well suited for textile integration. Furthermore, cyclic thermomechanical tests were conducted to evaluate the shape memory and shape recovery of both plain polyamide and composites. The results confirmed their remarkable shape recovery properties. To demonstrate the potential application of biocomposites in textiles, a heat-responsive fabric was created using thermoresponsive shape memory polymer actuators composed of a biocomposite containing 50 wt % compatibilized starch. This fabric demonstrates the ability to repeatedly undergo significant heat-induced deformations by opening and closing pores, thereby exposing hidden functionalities through heat stimulation. This innovative approach provides a convenient pathway for designing heat-responsive textiles, adding value to state-of-the-art smart textiles.

Abstract
This study proposes a simple approach for the recognition of polyamide 6.9 samples differing in impurity amounts and viscosities (modulated during the synthesis), which are parameters plausibly variable in polymers' manufacturing processes. Infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) was combined with chemometrics, applying statistical methods to experimental data. Both non-supervised and supervised methods have been used (PCA and PLS-DA), and a predictive model that could assess the polyamide type of unknown samples was created. Chemometric tools led to a satisfying degree of discrimination among samples, and the predictive model resulted in a great classification of unknown samples with an accuracy of 88.89%. Traditional physical-chemical characterizations (such as thermal and mechanical tests) showed their limits in the univocal identification of sample types, and additionally, they resulted in time-consuming procedures and specimen destruction. The spectral modifications have been investigated to understand the main signals that are more likely to affect the discrimination process. The proposed hybrid methodology represents a potential support for quality control activities within the production sector, especially when the spectra of compounds with the same nominal composition show almost identical signals.

Abstract
The mechanical properties of a stem cell culture substrate significantly impact cell adhesion, survival, migration, proliferation, and differentiation in vitro. A major challenge in engineering artificial stem cell substrate is to properly identify the relevant physical features of native stem cell niches, which are likely different for each stem cell type. The behavior of tendon stem cells has potentially significant implications for tendon repair. Here, microfiber scaffolds with various modulus of elasticity are fabricated by near-field electrospinning, and their regulating effects on the in vitro behavior of tendon stem cells (TSCs) are discussed in this study. The number of pseudopodia shows a biphasic relationship with the modulus of scaffold. The proliferation, polarization ratio and alignment degree along the fibers of the TSCs increase with the increase of fiber modulus. TSCs cultured on the scaffold with moderate modulus (1429 MPa) show the upregulation of tendon-specific genes (Col-I, Tnmd, SCX and TNCF). These microfiber scaffolds provide great opportunities to modulate TSCs behavior at the micrometer scales. In conclusion, this study provides an instructive mechanical microenvironment for TSCs behaviors and may lead to the development of desirable engineered artificial stem cell substrate for tendon healing.

Abstract
Abstract
The properties and compatibility of bio-based PA56 and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) polymers were studied in detail. The experimental results showed that when compared with PET, bio-based PA56 had better moisture absorption, softness, and dyeing characteristics. By calculating and analyzing the macromolecular structures of bio-based PA56 and PET, the difference in solubility was obtained as 4.18 Cal0.5·cm1.5·mol−1. Thermodynamic analysis showed that the measured change in mixing enthalpy far exceeds the range of the compatible system when the proportion of bio-based PA56 exceeded 15%. When the content of bio-based PA56 in PET exceeded 20%, the glass transition temperature of the blends with different proportions all had double peaks and the eutectic phenomenon was not observed. Scanning electron microscopy was used to observe the cross-section morphology of bio-based PA56/PET blends before and after etching. We found that the interface between the two phases was clear and a “sea-island” dispersed structure was formed. The results of the analysis indicated that the compatibility of the bio-based PA56 and PET was not good.
