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
A new bio-based polyamide 56/512 (PA56/512) has been synthesized with a higher bio-based composition compared to industrialized bio-based PA56, which is considered a lower carbon emission bio-based nylon. In this paper, the one-step approach of copolymerizing PA56 units with PA512 units using melt polymerization has been investigated. The structure of the copolymer PA56/512 was characterized using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR). Other measurement methods, including relative viscosity tests, amine end group measurement, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), were used to analyze the physical and thermal properties of the PA56/512. Furthermore, the non-isothermal crystallization behaviors of PA56/512 have been investigated with the analytical model of Mo's method and the Kissinger method. The melting point of copolymer PA56/512 exhibited a eutectic point at 60 mol% of 512 corresponding to the typical isodimorphism behavior, and the crystallization ability of PA56/512 also displayed a similar tendency.

Abstract
Complex and controlled reversible actuation inevitably relies on changing thermal fields (direct or indirect) for semi-crystalline reversible shape memory networks. Unfortunately, the non-tunability of thermal signals often brings potential limitations to actuators' applications. In practice, a wide response temperature range (T-range) formed by Thigh and Tlow in the remarkable reversible actuation is an obvious fact. Herein, we demonstrate the tunability of the transition temperatures while stably maintaining excellent actuation abilities. We further verified that the narrow T-range (24 °C) that had not been reported could present more than 17% reversible strain. Special parameter optimization provides opportunities for potential non-implantable biomedical applications. Therefore, based on target 2W-SMP, a vehicle concept with the drug release and vehicle recovery ability was proposed, proving our approach's feasibility.

Abstract
Reversible shape-memory polymers (RSMPs) are highly desired for soft actuators due to the repeatability of deformation. Herein, a polyolefin elastomer vitrimer (POEV) was prepared by constructing a dynamic cross-linked network based on boronic ester bonds. POEV showed varied network relaxation in a wide temperature range due to hierarchical network relaxation, and then the entropy decreased and the relaxation of POEV chains was facilely controlled by temperature. The controllable relaxation of POEV by programming the temperature enabled the actuation domain with a reduction in entropy and the skeleton domain with a relatively high entropy can be built in POEV, greatly affecting the reversible shape memory effects (RSMEs). The topological rearrangement resulted from the activated exchange of dynamic covalent bonds, which enables POEV with good shape reconfigurability, and allows for complicated 3D shapes and shape-shifting on demand. More interestingly, combining the decreasing entropy of POEV chains and fully topological rearrangement tailored by temperature, hybrid aligned carbon nanotubes (CNTs) can be constructed in POEV via a two-stage training. Then, the aligned CNTs can enhance the elasticity and act as a hybrid skeleton for RSMEs, avoiding the negative impact of CNTs on the reversible actuation strain. The hierarchical network relaxation facilitates combining all these unusual properties in one shape memory network synergistically, paving new avenues for realizing smart materials with advanced RSME.

Abstract
The work output of shape memory polymers during shape shifting is desired for practical application as actuators. Herein, a polyolefin elastomer (POE) and paraffin wax (PW) are co-cross-linked by dynamic boronic ester bonds to enhance the network elasticity and the stress transfer between the two phases, endowing high force storage capacity to the prepared vitrimers. Depending on the phase of PW, one-way force storage is realized by programming at a low temperature (25 °C), owing to which solid PW can promote the locking of POE chains in a low-entropy state, while reversible force storage can be realized by programming at a high temperature (75 °C), owing to which the relaxation of chains facilitated by liquid PW can promote the construction of a stable structure. Based on one-way force storage, a weight-lifting machine with a weight of 20 mg prestrained at 25 °C can lift a 100 g weight, showing a lifting ratio of no less than 5000, with a high work output of 0.98 J/g. A high-temperature alarm can be triggered at varied temperatures (43-56 °C) through controlled force release by adjusting the PW content and programmed prestrains. Based on the reversible force storage, crawling robots and artificial muscles with a work output of 0.025 J/g are demonstrated. The dynamic cross-linking network also confers mold-free self-healing capability to POE/PW vitrimers, and the repair efficiency is enhanced compared with the POE vitrimer due to the improved POE chain motion by liquid PW. The realized one-way and reversible force storage and self-healing by POE/PW vitrimers pave the way for the application of SMPs in the fields of soft robotic actuators.

Abstract
The fabrication of a single polymer network that exhibits a good reversible two-way shape memory effect (2W-SME), can be formed into arbitrarily complex three-dimensional (3D) shapes, and is recyclable remains a challenge. Herein, we design and fabricate poly(thiourethane) (PTU) networks with an excellent thermadapt reversible 2W-SME, arbitrary reconfigurability, and good recyclability via the synergistic effects of multiple dynamic covalent bonds (i.e., ester, urethane, and thiourethane bonds). The PTU samples with good mechanical performance simultaneously demonstrate a maximum tensile stress of 29.7 ± 1.1 MPa and a high strain of 474.8 ± 7.5%. In addition, the fraction of reversible strain of the PTU with 20 wt % hard segment reaches 22.4% during the reversible 2W-SME, where the fraction of reversible strain is enhanced by self-nucleated crystallization of the PTU. A sample with arbitrarily complex permanent 3D shapes can be realized via the solid-state plasticity, and that sample also exhibits excellent reversible 2W-SME. A smart light-responsive actuator with a double control switch is fabricated using a reversible two-way shape memory PTU/MXene film. In addition, the PTU networks are de-cross-linked by alcohol solvolysis, enabling the recovery of monomers and the realization of recyclability. Therefore, the present study involving the design and fabrication of a PTU network for potential applications in intelligent actuators and multifunctional shape-shifting devices provides a new strategy for the development of thermadapt reversible two-way shape memory polymers.

Abstract
Small additive molecules often enhance structural relaxation in polymers. We explore this effect in a thermoplastic shape memory polymer via molecular dynamics simulations. The additive-to-monomer size ratio is shown to play a key role here. While the effect of additive-concentration on the rate of shape recovery is found to be monotonic in the investigated range, a non-monotonic dependence on the size-ratio emerges at temperatures close to the glass transition. This work thus identifies the additives' size to be a qualitatively novel parameter for controlling the recovery process in polymer-based shape memory materials.
