Abstract
Polyethylene-, polyvinylidene chloride-, and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance-coated paper generate microplastics or fluorochemicals in the environment. Here, we report an approach for the development of oil-resistant papers using an environmentally friendly, fluorine-free, water-dispersible poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) coating on kraft paper. Carboxylic-functionalized PDMS (PDMS-COOH) was synthesized and subsequently neutralized with ammonium bicarbonate to obtain a waterborne emulsion, which was then coated onto kraft paper. The water resistance of the coated paper was determined via Cobb60 measurements. The Cobb60 value was reduced to 2.70 ± 0.14 g/m2 as compared to 87.6 ± 5.1 g/m2 for uncoated paper, suggesting a remarkable improvement in water resistance. Similarly, oil resistance was found to be 12/12 on the kit test scale versus 0/12 for uncoated paper. In addition, the coated paper retained 70-90% of its inherent mechanical properties, and more importantly, the coated paper was recycled via pulp recovery using a standard protocol with a 91.1% yield.

Abstract
Nanomembranes are effective coating materials for protecting substrates from external stimuli; however, they are generally not self-standing owing to their low mechanical toughness. Self-standing nanomembranes would be an innovative development in the field of nanotechnology including miniaturized devices. In this study, self-standing nanomembranes were developed by spin-casting supertough polyamides over dimethylformamide solution. The polyamides were synthesized by the polycondensation of two derivatives of 4,4'-diamino-α-truxillic acid (4ATA) with slightly bent diphenylcyclobutane in the core. Mechanical evaluation of the 4ATA polyamides having an appropriate composition of aliphatic diacids revealed a high strain-energy density of 231 MJ m-3 at its maximum, which is significantly tougher than spider silk. The nanocoats with a thickness of several hundred nanometers showing interference fringes were able to be peeled off the glass substrate without breaking, owing to its ultrahigh toughness. The self-standing nanomembrane would be applied to flexible devices in the future.
