High-Temperature Response Polylactic Acid Composites by Tuning Double-Percolated Structures. Polymers (Basel) 2022; 15:polym15010138. [PMID: 36616486 PMCID: PMC9824055 DOI: 10.3390/polym15010138] [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: 12/02/2022] [Revised: 12/21/2022] [Accepted: 12/24/2022] [Indexed: 12/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Due to the properties of a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) effect and a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) effect, electrically conductive polymer composites (CPCs) have been widely used in polymer thermistors. A dual percolated conductive microstructure was prepared by introducing the polybutylene adipate terephthalate phase (PBAT) into graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs)-filled polylactic acid (PLA) composites, intending to develop a favorable and stable PTC material. To achieve this strategy, GNPs were selectively distributed in the PBAT phase by injection molding. In this study, we investigated the crystallization behavior, electrical conductivity, and temperature response of GNP-filled PLA/PBAT composites. The introduction of GNPs into PLA significantly increased PLA crystallization capacity, where the crystallization onset temperature (To) is raised from 116.7 °C to 134.7 °C, and the crystallization half-time (t1/2) decreases from 35.8 min to 27.3 min. The addition of 5 wt% PBAT increases the electrical conductivity of PLA/PBAT/GNPs composites by almost two orders of magnitude when compared to PLA/GNPs counterparts. The temperature of the heat treatment is also found to play a role in affecting the electrical conductivity of PLA-based composites. Increasing crystallinity is favorable for increasing electrical conductivity. PLA/PBAT/GNPs composites also show a significant positive temperature coefficient, which is reflected in the temperature-electrical resistance cycling tests.

Abstract
Nanocelluloses (NC) are nature-based sustainable biomaterials, which not only possess cellulosic properties but also have the important hallmarks of nanomaterials, such as large surface area, versatile reactive sites or functionalities, and scaffolding stability to host inorganic nanoparticles. This class of nanomaterials offers new opportunities for a broad spectrum of applications for clean water production that were once thought impractical. This Review covers substantial discussions based on evaluative judgments of the recent literature and technical advancements in the fields of coagulation/flocculation, adsorption, photocatalysis, and membrane filtration for water decontamination through proper understanding of fundamental knowledge of NC, such as purity, crystallinity, surface chemistry and charge, suspension rheology, morphology, mechanical properties, and film stability. To supplement these, discussions on low-cost and scalable NC extraction, new characterizations including solution small-angle X-ray scattering evaluation, and structure-property relationships of NC are also reviewed. Identifying knowledge gaps and drawing perspectives could generate guidance to overcome uncertainties associated with the adaptation of NC-enabled water purification technologies. Furthermore, the topics of simultaneous removal of multipollutants disposal and proper handling of post/spent NC are discussed. We believe NC-enabled remediation nanomaterials can be integrated into a broad range of water treatments, greatly improving the cost-effectiveness and sustainability of water purification.

Abstract
In the last few years, researchers have focused their attention on the synthesis of new catalyst structures based on or inspired by nature. Biotemplating involves the transfer of biological structures to inorganic materials through artificial mineralization processes. This approach offers the main advantage of allowing morphological control of the product, as a template with the desired morphology can be pre-determined, as long as it is found in nature. This way, natural evolution through millions of years can provide us with new synthetic pathways to develop some novel functional materials with advantageous properties, such as sophistication, miniaturization, hybridization, hierarchical organization, resistance, and adaptability to the required need. The field of application of these materials is very wide, covering nanomedicine, energy capture and storage, sensors, biocompatible materials, adsorbents, and catalysis. In the latter case, bio-inspired materials can be applied as catalysts requiring different types of active sites (i.e., redox, acidic, basic sites, or a combination of them) to a wide range of processes, including conventional thermal catalysis, photocatalysis, or electrocatalysis, among others. This review aims to cover current experimental studies in the field of biotemplating materials synthesis and their characterization, focusing on their application in heterogeneous catalysis.

Abstract
The rapid development of modern industry and excessive consumption of petroleum-based polymers have triggered a double crisis presenting a shortage of nonrenewable resources and environmental pollution. However, this has provided an opportunity to stimulate researchers to harness native biobased materials for novel advanced materials and applications. Nanocellulose-based aerogels, using abundant and sustainable cellulose as raw material, present a third-generation of aerogels that combine traditional aerogels with high porosity and large specific surface area, as well as the excellent properties of cellulose itself. Currently, nanocellulose aerogels provide a highly attention-catching platform for a wide range of functional applications in various fields, e.g., adsorption, separation, energy storage, thermal insulation, electromagnetic interference shielding, and biomedical applications. Here, the preparation methods, modification strategies, composite fabrications, and further applications of nanocellulose aerogels are summarized, with additional discussions regarding the prospects and potential challenges in future development.

Abstract
Advanced templating techniques have enabled delicate control of both nano- and microscale structures and have helped thrust functional materials into the forefront of society. Cellulose nanomaterials are derived from natural polymers and show promise as a templating source for advanced materials. Use of cellulose nanomaterials in templating combines nanoscale property control with sustainability, an attribute often lacking in other templating techniques. Use of cellulose nanofibers for templating has shown great promise in recent years, but previous reviews on cellulose nanomaterial templating techniques have not provided extensive analysis of cellulose nanofiber templating. Cellulose nanofibers display several unique properties, including mechanical strength, porosity, high water retention, high surface functionality, and an entangled fibrous network, all of which can dictate distinctive aspects in the final templated materials. Many applications exploit the unique aspects of templating with cellulose nanofibers that help control the final properties of the material, including, but not limited to, applications in catalysis, batteries, supercapacitors, electrodes, building materials, biomaterials, and membranes. A detailed analysis on the use of cellulose nanofibers templating is provided, addressing specifically how careful selection of templating mechanisms and methodologies, combined toward goal applications, can be used to directly benefit chosen applications in advanced functional materials.

Synergistic enhancement of nanocellulose foam with dual in situ mineralization and crosslinking reaction. Int J Biol Macromol 2020; 165:3198-3205.

Abstract
Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) foams have recently gained research interests because they are renewable, abundant, biodegradable and exhibit high surface area. However, the application of CNCs-based foams is still challenging, which is attributed to its lack of effective entanglements between the CNCs particles, thus lowering foam properties. In this study, a synergistic enhancement strategy was proposed, based on the in situ mineralization with hydroxyapatite (HAP) layer onto the CNCs surface, followed by a chemical crosslinking reaction. The physical and chemical structures of the composites were analyzed with SEM, STEM, XRD, FTIR, and TGA. By controlling the amount of coated HAP and the crosslinker, it is possible to manufacture a series of CNCs-based foams that are lightweight (50-75 mg/cm3), highly porous (~90%) with high water absorption (>1300%) and outstanding mechanical strength properties (as high as 1.37 MPa). Moreover, our study further indicated that these CNCs/HAP materials could increase the proliferation of rat osteoblast cells. The method developed in this study presents a novel approach to design improved networked CNCs foam, which has the potential to be used in thermal-retardant material, wastewater treatment, tissue engineering, and personal care applications.

Abstract
Benzene is one of the hazardous environmental pollutants which have harmful effects on human, animal and environmental health. the goal of this study was to synthesize a carbon/alumina aerogel with large surface area, which is easily recoverable and can be used as an adsorbent for benzene removal from the polluted air flow. The composite aerogel was dried at ambient temperature for 48 h and at 120 °C for 48 h in a sequential way. The characteristic properties of the composite aerogel were analyzed using Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Barrett-Joyner-Halenda (BJH) method and energy-dispersive X-Ray (EDX) techniques. The findings of this study showed that, with increasing of the inlet flow rate from 0.2 l/min to 0.5 and 0.8 l/min, the breakthrough time decreased from 13 h to 7 and 3 h, respectively., Besides, the amount of adsorption capacity on aerogel nanocomposite decreased from 126.73 mg g-1 to 84.5 and 38 mgg-1 with increasing the inlet benzene concentration from 100 ppmv to 200 and 300 ppmv, respectively. In addition, the a carbon/alumina aerogel can be exploited for removing other pollutants from air and water. Recently, the adsorption process has attracted many research attentions for Benzene removal from different applications due to some inherent characteristics such as low-cost and high feasibility. •The results indicated that the synthesis of the composite aerogel have been successfully performed.•The composite aerogel was synthesized by combining Novollac with alumina, which had high surface area and suitable benzene adsorption ability.

Abstract
A new strategy for the synthesis of mesoporous TiO2 @C nanocomposites through the direct mineralization of seaweed-derived alginic acid cryogel by TiCl4 through a solid/vapor reaction pathway is presented. In this synthesis, alginic acid cryogel can have multiple roles; i) mesoporous template, ii) carbon source, and iii) oxygen source for the TiO2 precursor, TiCl4 . The resulting TiO2 @alginic acid composite was transformed either into pure mesoporous TiO2 by calcination or into mesoporous TiO2 @C nanocomposites by pyrolysis. By comparing with a nonporous TiO2 @C composite, the importance of the mesopores on the performance of electrodes for lithium-ion batteries based on mesoporous TiO2 @C composite was clearly evidenced. In addition, the carbon matrix in the mesoporous TiO2 @C nanocomposite also showed electrochemical activity versus lithium ions, providing twice the capacity of pure mesoporous TiO2 or alginic acid-derived mesoporous carbon (A600). Given the simplicity and environmental friendliness of the process, the mesoporous TiO2 @C nanocomposite could satisfy the main prerequisites of green and sustainable chemistry while showing improved electrochemical performance as a negative electrode for lithium-ion batteries.

Abstract
This article reviews recent advances in conductive polymer composites from renewable resources, and introduces a number of potential applications for this material class. In order to overcome disadvantages such as poor mechanical properties of polymers from renewable resources, and give renewable polymer composites better electrical and thermal conductive properties, various filling contents and matrix polymers have been developed over the last decade. These natural or reusable filling contents, polymers, and their composites are expected to greatly reduce the tremendous pressure of industrial development on the natural environment while offering acceptable conductive properties. The unique characteristics, such as electrical/thermal conductivity, mechanical strength, biodegradability and recyclability of renewable conductive polymer composites has enabled them to be implemented in many novel and exciting applications including chemical sensors, light-emitting diode, batteries, fuel cells, heat exchangers, biosensors etc. In this article, the progress of conductive composites from natural or reusable filling contents and polymer matrices, including (1) natural polymers, such as starch and cellulose, (2) conductive filler, and (3) preparation approaches, are described, with an emphasis on potential applications of these bio-based conductive polymer composites. Moreover, several commonly-used and innovative methods for the preparation of conductive polymer composites are also introduced and compared systematically.

Abstract
Nitrophenols (NPs) and related derivatives are industrially important chemicals, used notably to synthesize pharmaceuticals, insecticides, herbicides, and pesticides. However, NPs and their metabolites are highly toxic and mutagenic. They pose a serious threat to human health and ecosystem. Current work was undertaken to develop a suitable visible-light active catalyst for the sustainable and efficient mineralization of NPs in an aqueous environment. Nanocrystalline cellulose (NCs)-based nitrogen-doped titanium dioxide and carbonaceous material (N-TiO2/C) was synthesized by pyrolysis and sol-gel methods using NCs, polydopamine, and TiO2. The synthesized N-TiO2/C was characterized using different analytical techniques. Photocatalytic degradation of NPs under visible light indicated that acidic pH (3) was most suitable for the optimal degradation. 4-NP degradation followed both pseudo-first-order (R 2 = 0.9985) and Langmuir-Hinshelwood adsorption kinetic models (adsorption constant, K LH = 1.13 L mg-1). Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and ion chromatography analysis confirmed the total mineralization of 4-NP into smaller molecular fragments such as acids, alcohols, and nitrates. The total organic carbon showed that 67% of total carbon present in 4-NP was mineralized into CO2 and CO. The catalyst was recycled for five consecutive cycles without losing its catalytic activities. The degradation mechanism of NPs with N-TiO2/C was also explored.

Abstract
MxOy and MxOy/C composites (M=V, Fe and W) were obtained by mineralization of cellulose with several metal chlorides. Cellulose was used both as a templating agent and as an oxygen and a carbon source. Soluble chloride molecules (VOCl3 and WCl6) and a poorly soluble ionic chloride compound (FeCl3) were chosen as metal oxide precursors. In a first time, primary metal oxide/cellulose composites were obtained via a thermal treatment by reacting urea impregnated filter paper with the corresponding metal chlorides in an autoclave at 150°C after 3days. After either pyrolysis or calcination steps of these intermediate materials, interesting metal oxides with various morphologies were obtained (V2O5, V2O3, Fe3O4, WO3, H0.23WO3), composites (V2O3/C) as well as carbides (hexagonal W2C and WC, Fe3C) This result highlight the reductive role that can play cellulose during the pyrolysis step that allows to tune the composition of MxOy/C composites. The materials were characterized by FTIR, Raman, TGA, XRD and SEM. This study highlights that cellulose can be used for a convenient preparation of a variety of highly demanded MxOy and MxOy/C composites with original shapes and morphologies.

Abstract
Three-dimensional branched TiO2 architectures (3D BTA) with controllable morphologies were synthesized via a facile template-free one-pot solvothermal route. The volume ratio of deionized water (DI water) and diethylene glycol in solvothermal process is key to the formation of 3D BTA assembled by nanowire-coated TiO2 dendrites, which combines the advantages of 3D hierarchical structure and 1D nanoscale building blocks. Benefiting from such unique structural features, the BTA in full bloom achieved significantly increased specific surface areas and shortened Li(+) ion/electrons diffusion pathway. The lithium-ion batteries based on BTA in full bloom exhibited remarkably enhanced reversible specific capacity and rate performance, attributing to the high contact area with the electrolyte and the short solid state diffusion pathway for Li(+) ion/electrons promoting lithium insertion and extraction.

Abstract
Nanostructured TiO2 and TiO2@C nanocomposites were prepared directly from urea-impregnated cellulose by a simple reaction/diffusion process and evaluated as negative electrode materials for Li and Na batteries. By direct treatment with TiCl4 under anhydrous conditions, the urea impregnation of cellulose impacts both the TiO2 morphology and the carbon left by cellulose after pyrolysis. Hierarchical TiO2 structures with a flower-like morphology grown from-and-at the surface of the cellulose fibers are obtained without any directing agent. The resulting TiO2/cellulose composite is then transformed either into pure TiO2 flowers by calcination in air at 600 °C, or into TiO2@C nanocomposites by pyrolysis under Ar at 600 °C. Electrochemical studies demonstrate that both samples can (de)insert lithium and sodium ions and are promising electrode materials.
