Abstract
The carbon dioxide (CO2) separation technology has become a focus recently, and a developed example is the membrane technology. It is an alternative form of enhanced gas separation performance above the Robeson upper bound line resulting in the idea of mixed matrix membranes (MMMs). With attention given to membrane technologies, the MMMs were fabricated to have the most desirable gas separation performance. In this work, blend MMMs were synthesised by using two polymers, namely, poly(ether sulfone) (PES) and poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG). These polymers were dissolved in blend N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) and dimethylformamide (DMF) solvents with the functionalised multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs-F) fillers by using the mixing solution method. The embedding of the pristine MWCNTs and MWCNTs-F within the new synthesised MMM was then studied towards CO2/N2 separation. In addition, the optimisation of the loading of MWCNTs-F for blend MMM for CO2/N2 separation was also studied. The experimental results showed that the functionalised MWCNTs (MWCNTs-F) were a better choice at enhancing gas separation compared to the pristine MWCNTs (MWCNTs-P). Additionally, the effects of MWCNTs-F at loadings 0.01 to 0.05% were studied along with the polymer compositions for PES:PEG of 10:20, 20:20 and 30:10. Both these parameters of study affect the manner of gas separation performance in the blend MMMs. Overall, the best performing membrane showed a selectivity value of 1.01 + 0.05 for a blend MMM (MMM-0.03F) fabricated with 20 wt% of PES, 20 wt% of PEG and 0.03 wt% of MWCNTs-F. The MMM-0.03F was able to withstand a pressure of 2 bar, illustrating its mechanical strength and ability to be used in the post combustion carbon capture application industries where the flue gas pressure is at 1.01 bar.

Abstract
Supercritical CO2 (SC CO2 ), as one of the unique fluids that possess fascinating properties of gas and liquid, holds great promise in chemical reactions and fabrication of materials. Building special nanostructures via SC CO2 for functional applications has been the focus of intense research for the past two decades, with facile regulated reaction conditions and a particular reaction field to operate compared to the more widely used solvent systems. In this review, the significance of SC CO2 on fabricating various functional materials including modification of 1D carbon nanotubes, 2D materials, and 2D heterostructures is stated. The fundamental aspects involving building special nanostructures via SC CO2 are explored: how their structure, morphology, and chemical composition be affected by the SC CO2 . Various optimization strategies are outlined to improve their performances, and recent advances are combined to present a coherent understanding of the mechanism of SC CO2 acting on these functional nanostructures. The wide applications of these special nanostructures in catalysis, biosensing, optoelectronics, microelectronics, and energy transformation are discussed. Moreover, the current status of SC CO2 research, the existing scientific issues, and application challenges, as well as the possible future directions to advance this fertile field are proposed in this review.

Abstract
A series of mixed matrix membranes containing poly (ether-block-amide) Pebax 1657 as matrix and polyethylene glycol (PEG) and Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework-8 (ZIF-8) as additives, were prepared and tested for CO2 separation. The membranes were prepared by solvent evaporation method and were characterized by TGA, DSC, SEM, and gas permeation measurements. The effects of PEG and its molecular weight, and the percentage of ZIF-8 into Pebax matrix were investigated. The results showed that the addition of PEG to Pebax/ZIF-8 blends avoid the agglomeration of ZIF-8 particles. A synergic effect between PEG and ZIF was particularly observed for high ZIF-8 content, because the initial permeability of pristine Pebax was multiplied by three (from 54 to 161 Barrers) while keeping the CO2 selectivity (αCO2/N2 = 61, αCO2/CH4 = 12 and αCO2/O2 = 23). Finally, the mechanism of CO2 transport is essentially governed by the solubility of CO2 into the membranes. Therefore, this new Pebax/PEG/ZIF-8 system seems to be a promising approach to develop new selective membranes for CO2 with high permeability.

Abstract
Although PEBAX-1657 is one of the promising polymeric materials for selective CO2 separation, there remain many questions about the optimal polymeric structure and possibility of improving performance without adulterating its basic structure by impregnating inorganic fillers. In order to improve the gas separation performance, low thickness PEBAX membranes were synthesized under steady solvent evaporation conditions by keeping in mind that one of its segments (nylon 6) shows structural variance and molecular orientation with a change in the evaporation rate. Furthermore, phase pure zeolite nanocrystals with cubic (zeolite A) and octahedral (zeolite Y) shapes have been synthesized through liquid phase routes using microwave hydrothermal reactors. The average sizes of zeolite A and Y crystals are around 55 and 40 nm, respectively. The inspection of XRD, DSC and Raman shift of PEBAX membranes demonstrates the formation of a stable polymeric structure with an improved crystalline state which results in high CO2 permeability membranes. The CO2 permeability as well as diffusivity increase with a decrease in membrane thickness and reach a maximum value of 184.7 Barrer and 2.6 × 10-6 cm2 s-1, respectively. The as-fabricated pristine PEBAX membrane shows much better performance in terms of permeance (CO2 184.7 Barrer), diffusivity (CO2 2.6 × 10-6 cm2 s-1) and selectivity (CO2/N2 59.7), which substantiate its promising prospects for CO2 capture. This exceptional performance of the pristine PEBAX membrane arises from the free volume generated during the steady polymerization. This reported approach for PEBAX membrane synthesis provides a direction in the design of membrane fabrication processes for economic CO2 separation.

Abstract
In this study, carbon fibers (CFs) and carbon nanofibers (CNFs) were introduced into polyethylene (PE) and intensive shear flow was imposed on the melt during the melt second flow caused by gas penetrating the melt during the gas-assisted injection molding (GAIM). The effect of fiber diameter on crystalline morphologies of obtained composites was deeply studied. The results revealed the fact that no matter whether CFs or CNFs were introduced into the PE matrix or not, the orientation degree of PE lamellae would increase during the melt second flow. Hybrid shish-kebab structures were difficult to be formed in GAIM CF/PE composites and only a few oriented PE lamellae overgrew on the local surface of CFs. However for GAIM CNF/PE composites, the formation of hybrid shish-kebab structures was clearly observed in the entire thickness. The structural diversity was mainly ascribed to the difference of CF diameter, showing obvious size-dependent effect.

Abstract
Copper-containing composite is a cupric ions release system to prepare a novel copper intrauterine devices (Cu-IUDs), its biocompatibility and weight of the prepared composite Cu-IUDs are directly relevant to its such side-effects as pain and bleeding. To improve its biocompatibility and reduce its weight of such a composite Cu-IUDs, a copper-containing composite based on polymer alloy of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) and low-density polyethylene (LDPE) is developed. Here the role of its PEO in this novel cupric ions release system is reported. The results show that its cupric ions release rate can be adjusted easily by only changing its PEO content, and it increases remarkably with the increase of its PEO content. Our study also show that this influence is caused by the improvement of its hydrophilicity and the formation of its porous structure owing to the introduction of PEO. The improvement of its hydrophilicity make it easier for the surrounding aqueous solution to infiltrate into the composite, and the formation of its porous structure provide more routes for entry of the aqueous solution and diffusion of the released cupric ions. All these results indicate that the Cu/PEO/LDPE composite is a potential material that can be used to prepare such cupric ions release micro-devices as Cu-IUDs with slighter side-effects through its smaller weight.

Abstract
In this work, a high-melting-point poly(l-lactide) fiber (hPLLA fiber) with high-efficiency nucleation activity was prepared and introduced into PLLA matrix to prepare fully biodegradable PLLA biocomposites. The highly active nucleating surfaces of the hPLLA fiber induced chain ordering and lamellar organization, leading to a preferable formation of well-organized PLLA transcrystallinity at the surface of the hPLLA fiber under quiescent conditions. The construction of such compact transcrystallinity increased the crystallinity and enhanced the interfacial adhesion, which largely promoted heat resistance, tensile strength, and barrier property of PLLA biocomposites at a low content of hPLLA fiber. With the addition of 1 wt % hPLLA fiber, the storage modulus of the PLLA biocomposite was enhanced by 82 times from 4 to 330 MPa at 80 °C and the oxygen permeability coefficient and water permeability coefficient were decreased by 52 and 51% to be 5.9 × 10-15 cm3·cm/cm2·s·Pa and 4.5 × 10-14 g·cm/cm2·s·Pa, respectively, compared with those of pure PLLA. Moreover, the transparency of PLLA was maintained with the incorporation of hPLLA fiber. Thus, this strategy paved a new way to prepare high-performance and fully biodegradable biocomposites.

Abstract
We investigate the effect of the presence of vertically aligned multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on the orientation of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) lamellae and PEO crystallinity. The high alignment of carbon nanotubes acting as templates probably governs the orientation of PEO lamellae. This templating effect might result in the lamella planes of PEO crystals oriented along a direction parallel to the long axis of the nanotubes. The presence of aligned carbon nanotubes also gives rise to the decreases in PEO crystallinity, crystallization temperature, and melting temperature due to the perturbation of carbon nanotubes to the crystallization of PEO. These effects have significant implications for controlling the orientation of PEO lamellae and decreasing the crystallinity of PEO and thickness of PEO lamellae, which have significant impacts on ion transport in PEO/CNT composite and the capacitive performance of PEO/CNT composite. Both the decreased PEO crystallinity and the orientation of PEO lamellae along the long axes of vertically aligned CNTs give rise to the decrease in the charge transfer resistance, which is associated with the improvements in the ion transport and capacitive performance of PEO/CNT composite.

Abstract
We report a novel nanohybrid shish-kebab (NHSK) architecture of cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) and a block copolymer, (polyethylene-b-polyethylene glycol) (PE-b-PEG). Cellulose microfibers were ultrasonically dispersed to generate cellulose nanofibers in the size range of 50±10nm in diameter, while the block copolymer was crystallized using a solution crystallization approach to prepare NHSK. This unique approach allows the flocculated NHSK product to transfer quickly from toluene to ethanol, in order to shorten the preparation time. Morphological analysis reveals, for the first time, that nanocellulose can be used to induce crystallization of a block copolymer to generate NHSK and trans-crystalline structure. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) results reveals the crystal morphology and crystallinity changes by virtue of crystallization. The ordered periodic growth and alignment of polymer crystals is recognized as the virtue of molecular origin of extended polymer chains. The proposed hypothesis affords elucidation of NHSK architecture and promotes the designing of novel nanohybrids with controllable functionality.

Abstract
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been recognized as a promising material in a wide range of applications from biotechnology to energy-related devices. However, the poor solubility in aqueous and organic solvents hindered the applications of CNTs. As studies have progressed, the methodology for CNT dispersion was established. In this methodology, the key issue is to covalently or non-covalently functionalize the surfaces of the CNTs with a dispersant. Among the various types of dispersions, polymer wrapping through non-covalent interactions is attractive in terms of the stability and homogeneity of the functionalization. Recently, by taking advantage of their stability, the wrapped-polymers have been utilized to support and/or reinforce the unique functionality of the CNTs, leading to the development of high-performance devices. In this review, various polymer wrapping approaches, together with the applications of the polymer-wrapped CNTs, are summarized.

Abstract
In the present study, we discuss the electrospinning of medical grade polyurethane (Carbothane™ 3575A) nanofibers containing multi-walled-carbon-nanotubes (MWCNTs). A simple method that does not depend on additional foreign chemicals has been employed to disperse MWCNTs through high intensity sonication. Typically, a polymer solution consisting of polymer/MWCNTs has been electrospun to form nanofibers. Physiochemical aspects of prepared nanofibers were evaluated by SEM, TEM, FT-IR and Raman spectroscopy, confirming nanofibers containing MWCNTs. The biocompatibility and cell attachment of the produced nanofiber mats were investigated while culturing them in the presence of NIH 3T3 fibroblasts. The results from these tests indicated non-toxic behavior of the prepared nanofiber mats and had a significant attachment of cells towards nanofibers. The incorporation of MWCNTs into polymeric nanofibers led to an improvement in tensile stress from 11.40 ± 0.9 to 51.25 ± 5.5 MPa. Furthermore, complete alignment of the nanofibers resulted in an enhancement on tensile stress to 72.78 ± 5.5 MPa. Displaying these attributes of high mechanical properties and non-toxic nature of nanofibers are recommended for an ideal candidate for future tendon and ligament grafts.

Abstract
Abstract
The effect of nano-particle geometry on flow and recovery of polymer melts based on ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) was investigated. Two nano-particles, calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and montmorillonite clay, were used with concentrations between 2.5 and 15% by weight. First, by using small amplitude oscillatory shear and transient step shear tests, the linear and non-linear response of the nano-composites was studied. Then, to examine the structure recovery, the same behavior was studied on pre-sheared samples. The linear and non-linear data revealed that the effect of nano-particles in material flow is more important for anisometric particles which can be attributed to their ability to form a fractal structure controlling the rheological properties while spherical particles are not able to form such networks. Recovery experiments revealed that while nano-composites containing spherical particles have relatively similar response in subsequent tests, the rheological properties decreased significantly for platelet particles. The recovery results were also interpreted based on a filler-network mechanism and the reduction of the nano effect for anisometric particles was related to the breakdown of the filler network. These observations were validated by morphological investigations.
