Reduction of polystyrene/polyurethane plastic wastes from the environment into binders for water-resistant emulsion paints. Heliyon 2024; 10:e27868. [PMID: 38533006 PMCID: PMC10963325 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e27868] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2023] [Revised: 02/08/2024] [Accepted: 03/07/2024] [Indexed: 03/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Waste management is fundamental to resource and environmental sustainability. Expanded polystyrene (EPS) and polyurethane (PU) waste plastics were recycled and applied as binder in emulsion paint formulation. The recycled polystyrene (rPS) and polyurethane (rPU) were blended into composite resins, where toluene was used as the solvent. The blends of rPS and rPU were optimized, while some physicochemical properties of the composite blends (rPS/PU) were evaluated. The results showed that the incorporation of rPU into rPS increased the viscosity (1818 mPa-3924 mPa), rate of gelation (dry-to-touch time: 15 min-0.25 min), moisture content (2.7%-8.1%), moisture uptake (3.2%-5.0%), solid content (48%-53.4%) and density (0.82 g/cm3 to 1.050.82 g/cm3) of the rPS/PU composite resins. Characterization was carried out using Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The results summarily showed that there are interactions among the rPS and rPU molecules in the composite, where complimentary structural and morphological characteristics were also achieved. The composite resin also exhibited superior bond strength (0.5-4.24 Mpa) on wood, cast mortar, ceramic, and steel surfaces due to its stronger intra- and inter-surface interactions compared to the neat rPS resin. The composite resin was used as a binder in the formulation of emulsion paint. The paint exhibited stronger resistance to water, among other superior properties, when compared to the paints formulated using neat rPS and conventional polyvinyl acetate (PVA) resins. The reduction of plastic waste in this study holds potential for the production of highly water-resistant emulsion paint for outdoor and indoor applications.

Abstract
Recent advancements in bioengineering and medical devices have been greatly influenced and dominated by synthetic polymers, particularly polyurethanes (PUs). PUs offer customizable mechanical properties and long-term stability, but their inherent hydrophobic nature poses challenges in practically biological application processes, such as interface high friction, strong protein adsorption, and thrombosis. To address these issues, surface modifications of PUs for generating functionally hydrophilic layers have received widespread attention, but the durability of generated surface functionality is poor due to irreversible mechanical wear or biodegradation. As a result, numerous researchers have investigated bulk modification techniques to incorporate zwitterionic polymers or groups onto the main or side chains of PUs, thereby improving their hydrophilicity and biocompatibility. This comprehensive review presents an extensive overview of notable zwitterionic PUs (ZPUs), including those based on phosphorylcholine, sulfobetaine, and carboxybetaine. The review explores their wide range of biomedical applications, from blood-contacting devices to antibacterial coatings, fouling-resistant marine coatings, separation membranes, lubricated surfaces, and shape memory and self-healing materials. Lastly, the review summarizes the challenges and future prospects of ZPUs in biological applications.

Green preparation of antibacterial shape memory foam based on bamboo cellulose nanofibril and waterborne polyurethane for adaptive relief of plantar pressure. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 256:128444.

Abstract
This study developed an aqueous solution blending and freeze-drying method to prepare an antibacterial shape memory foam (WPPU/CNF) based on waterborne PHMG-polyurethane and cellulose nanofibers derived from bamboo in response to the increasing demand for environmentally friendly, energy conserving, and multifunctional foams. The obtained WPPU/CNF composite foam has a highly porous network structure with well-dispersed CNFs forming hydrogen bonds with the WPPU matrix, which results in a stable and rigid cell skeleton with enhanced mechanical properties (80 KPa) and anti-abrasion ability. The presence of guanidine in the polyurethane chain endowed the WPPU/CNF composite foam with an instinctive and sustained antibacterial ability against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The WPPU/CNF composite foam exhibited a water-sensitive shape memory function in a cyclic shape memory program because of the chemomechanical adaptability of the hydrogen-bonded network of CNFs in the elastomer matrix. The shape-fixation ratio for local compression reached 95 %, and the shape-recovery rate reached 100 %. This allows the WPPU/CNF pad prototype to reversibly adjust the undulation height to adapt to plantar ulcers, which can reduce the local plantar pressure by 60 %. This study provides an environmentally friendly strategy for cellulose-based composite fabrication and enriches the design and application of intelligent foam devices.

Abstract
Efficacious oil-water separation has become a global challenge owing to regular oil spillage accidents and escalating industrial oily wastewater. In this study, we synthesized titanium dioxide and magnetite iron oxide nanoparticles to use as a precursor for the production of the nanocomposites. Hydrophobic nanocomposites were fabricated using polyurethane, hematite and magnetite iron oxide nanoparticles, and titanium dioxide nanoparticles through a sol-gel process. The formation of the obtained nanocomposites was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses. In addition, the thermogravimetric and differential thermogravimetric (TGA/DTG) and BET surface area results exhibited enhanced thermal stability of the optimized nanocomposite which displayed mesoporous type materials feature with high porosity. Furthermore, the obtained outcomes demonstrated that the distribution of nanoparticles into a polymer matrix had a significant impact on enhancing superhydrophobicity and the separation efficiency against sunflower oil. Seeing the water contact angle of the nanocomposite-coated filter paper was about 157° compared to 0° for the uncoated filter paper and endowed separation efficiency of almost 90% for 5 consecutive cycles. Thereby, these nanocomposites could be an ideal candidate for self-cleaning surfaces and oil-polluted water purification.

Abstract
We examined the effects of alkyl carbon spacer length (CSL) and molecular weight on fouling resistance and release properties of zwitterionic poly(sulfobetaine methacrylate) brushes. Using surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization, we synthesized two series of brushes with CSL = 3 and 4 and molecular weight from 19 to 1500 kg ·mol-1, corresponding to dry brush thickness from around 6 to 180 nm. The brush with CSL = 3 was nearly completely wet with water (independent of molecular weight), whereas the brush with CSL = 4 exhibited a strong increase in water contact angle with molecular weight. Though the two-brush series had distinct wetting properties, both series of brushes exhibited similarly great resistance against fouling by Staphylococcus epidermidis bacteria and Aspergillus niger fungi spores when submerged in water, indicating that neither molecular weight nor CSL strongly affected the antifouling behavior. We also compared the efficacy of brushes against fouling by fungi and silicon oil in air. Brushes grafted to filter paper were strongly fouled by fungi and silicon oil in air. Grafting the polymers to the filter paper, however, greatly enhanced removal of the foulant upon rinsing. The removal of fungi and silicon oil when rinsed with a salt solution was enhanced by 219 and 175%, respectively, as compared to a blank filter paper control. Thus, our results indicate that these zwitterionic brushes can promote foulant removal for dry applications in addition to their well-known fouling resistance in submerged conditions.

Abstract
In this study, a series of bio-based thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) was synthesized via the solvent-free one-shot method using 100% bio-based polyether polyol, prepared from fermented corn, and 1,4-butanediol (BDO) as a chain extender. The average molecular weight, degree of phase separation, thermal and mechanical properties of the TPU-based aromatic (4,4-methylene diphenyl diisocyanate: MDI), and aliphatic (bis(4-isocyanatocyclohexyl) methane: H12MDI) isocyanates were investigated by gel permeation chromatography, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, X-ray Diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, dynamic mechanical thermal analysis, and thermogravimetric analysis. Four types of micro-phase separation forms of a hard segment (HS) and soft segment (SS) were suggested according to the [NCO]/[OH] molar ratio and isocyanate type. The results showed (a) phase-mixed disassociated structure between HS and SS, (b) hydrogen-bonded structure of phase-separated between HS and SS forming one-sided hard domains, (c) hydrogen-bonded structure of phase-mixed between HS, and SS and (d) hydrogen-bonded structure of phase-separated between HS and SS forming dispersed hard domains. These phase micro-structure models could be matched with each bio-based TPU sample. Accordingly, H-BDO-2.0, M-BDO-2.0, H-BDO-2.5, and M-BDO-3.0 could be related to the (a)—form, (b)—form, (c)—form, and (d)—form, respectively.

Abstract
To explore the influence mechanisms of polyurethane soft segments on modified silicone coatings, a series of modified coatings was prepared by introducing different contents of hydroxypropyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS2200) into the soft segment of polyurethane. ATR-FTIR, NMR, CLSM, AFM, contact angle measurement, the tensile test, bacterial adhesion, and the benthic diatom adhesion test were used to investigate the structure, morphology, roughness, degree of microphase separation, surface energy, tensile properties, and antifouling properties of the modified coatings. The results show that PDMS2200 could aggravate the microphase separation of the modified coatings, increase the surface-free energy, and reduce its elastic modulus; when the microphase separation exceeded a certain degree, increasing PDMS2200 would decrease the tensile properties. The PED-TDI polyurethane-modified silicone coating prepared with the formula of PU-Si17 had the best tensile properties and antifouling properties among all modified coatings.

Abstract
Anti-biofouling materials that combat microorganism attachment have been intensively studied due to the ever-growing demand on smart and durable coatings. Although various hydrophilic polymer surfaces demonstrated superior anti-biofouling properties, their practical application was hampered by the undesired mechanical vulnerability and complicated fabrication process. In this review, we summarized the mechanically and chemically robust anti-biofouling coatings into six strategies namely (i) 3D-grafted coatings, (ii) hierarchical spheres-based coatings, (iii) inorganic nanomaterials-reinforced coatings, (iv) hydrolysis-based coating, (v) semi-interpenetrating structure-based coatings, and (vi) layer-by-layer (LbL) assembled coatings. The anti-biofouling efficacy and durability of these coatings over a series of challenges were also comprehensively presented. The purpose of this review is to inspire researchers to develop novel anti-biofouling coatings for future practical applications.

Abstract
Over last few years, polyurethane (PU) has been applied in a number of areas because of its remarkable features, such as excellent mechanical strength, good abrasion resistance, toughness, low temperature flexibility, etc. More specifically, PU can be easily "tailor made" to meet specific demands. This structure-property relationship endows great potential for use in wider applications. With the improvement of living standards, ordinary polyurethane products cannot meet people's growing needs for comfort, quality, and novelty.

Abstract
Biofilms have been a long-standing challenge for healthcare, water transport, and many other industries. They lead to bacterial growth and infections in animals, food products, and humans, cause premature removal of the implanted materials or devices from patients, and facilitate fouling and corrosion of metals. Despite some published and patented methods on minimizing the effects of biofilms for a short period (less than two weeks), there exists no successful means to mitigate or prevent the long-term formation of biofilms. It is even more challenging to integrate critical anti-fouling properties with other needed physical and chemical properties for a range of applications. In this study, we developed a novel approach for combining incompatible, highly polar anti-fouling groups with less polar, mechanically modifying groups into one material. A multifunctional carboxybetaine precursor was designed and introduced into polyurethane. The carboxybetaine precursors undergo rapid, self-catalyzed hydrolysis at the water/material interface and provide critical anti-fouling properties that lead to undetectable bacterial attachment and zero biofilm formation after six months of constant exposure to Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus epidermidis under the static condition in a nutrient-rich medium. This zwitterionic polyurethane is the first material to demonstrate both critical anti-biofilm properties and tunable mechanical properties and directly validates the unproven anti-fouling strategy and hypothesis for biofilm formation prevention. This approach of designing 'multitasking materials' will be useful for the development of next generation anti-fouling materials for a variety of applications.

Abstract
AbstractThe aim of this research is to develop a novel non-leaching antimicrobial waterborne polyurethane (WPU) leather coating material with covalently attached quaternary phosphonium salt (QPS). The structure of the QPS-bearing WPU has been identified, and their thermal stability, mechanical property, and antimicrobial performance have been investigated. The results reveal that the incorporation of QPS slightly reduces the thermal stability of WPU material but would not affects its usability as leather coating. Despite the presence of hydrophobic benzene in QPS structure, the strong hydration of its cationic groups leads to the increased surface contact angle (SCA) and water absorption rate (WAR) of the films, suggesting that the water resistance of the films needs to be improved for the purpose of leather coatings. Antibacterial tests demonstrate that when the QPS content is 20 wt%, QPS-bearing WPU shows effective antimicrobial activity against bacteria. The WPU containing QPS prepared in this study is a non-leaching antimicrobial material and has great potential application as leather coating.

Development of a novel biodegradable and anti-bacterial polyurethane coating for biomedical magnesium rods. MATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING. C, MATERIALS FOR BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS 2019; 99:344-356.

Abstract
Surface modification of biomedical Mg with functional polymers coatings is an effective and simple strategy to improve the corrosion resistance and anti-bacterial property. Herein, we develop a novel biodegradable and anti-bacterial polymer coating for Mg rods. A key feature of our approach is to treat the Mg rods with polyurethane, a widely used coating material with strong structural controllability and good film-formation property. Polyurethanes (PU) functionalized by polyethylene glycol (PEG) chains (GPU) and zwitterions (ZPU) were firstly synthesized and subsequently applied to fabricate coatings on Mg-based rods. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) result demonstrates that a homogeneous and dense layer with a thickness of ~4-15 μm is readily formed on the substrates by dip-coating method. We first investigated how PU coatings would affect their resulting corrosion behaviors by the electrochemical corrosion test, surface morphology examining and element analysis of the immersed samples. Then, we evaluated their protection capabilities and the relationship to Mg2+ ion release and pH value alteration under the physiological conditions. Results show that the corrosion resistance of Mg rods is improved appreciably after coating with the synthesized PU polymers. More importantly, the functionalized PU exhibit enhanced antibacterial performance and excellent blood compatibility. In particular, ZPU-12 not only successfully improves the corrosion resistance of substrates, but also produces an antimicrobial coating for preventing bacterial attachment. The application of these functionalized PU coatings for the surface modification of biomedical Mg-based alloys can provide a practical and potential strategy to expedite their clinical acceptance.
