Liu K, Zhang P, Müller-Buschbaum P, Zhong Q. Enhanced UV protection in silk fibroin based electrospun fabrics realized via orientation induced high efficiency of azobenzene isomerization. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 268:131638. [PMID: 38670180 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.131638] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/28/2024] [Revised: 04/05/2024] [Accepted: 04/13/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024]
Abstract
Due to the poor UV protection capability, natural silk fabrics not only suffer from easy damage by sunshine but also induce possible sunburn in the human body. Efficient azobenzene isomerization and enhanced UV shielding are realized by replacing the natural silk with natural protein silk fibroin (SF) and electrospinning together with light-responsive copolymer P(MEO2-co-OEG300-co-AHMA). Compared to a solution cast film, the absorption peak intensity at 355 nm is 60 % higher in UV-Vis spectra of the electropsun SF/P(MEO2-co-OEG300-co-AHMA) fabrics. This improvement is related to the highly oriented chains, inducing more space and higher efficiency for azobenzene isomerization. Only exposure to visible light for 20 min, the absorption peak corresponding to the trans- state at 355 nm recovers to 92.5 % in the electrospun fabrics, which is at least 100 % faster than that in the solution cast film (50 min). It is related to the zip effect of the isomerization in the oriented chain structure. Thus, not only the absorption of UV radiation, but also the isomerization rate is enhanced. Based on these unique absorption and recovery capabilities, the SF based electrospun fabrics can be used to replace the natural silk fabrics for UV shielding in summer, especially for cyclic use.

Abstract
Compared with traditional metal materials, carbon-based materials have the advantages of low density, high conductivity, good chemical stability, etc., and can be used as reliable alternative materials in various fields. Among them, the carbon fiber conductive network constructed by electrospinning technology has the advantages of high porosity, high specific surface area and rich heterogeneous interface. In order to further improve the conductivity and mechanical properties of pure carbon fiber films, tantalum carbide (TaC) nanoparticles were selected as conductive fillers. The crystallization degree, electrical and mechanical properties of electrospun TaC/C nanofibers at different temperatures were investigated. As the carbonization temperature increases, the crystallization degree and electrical conductivity of the sample also increases, while the growth trend of electrical conductivity is markedly slowed. The best mechanical properties of 12.39 MPa was achieved when the carbonization temperature was 1200 °C. Finally, through comprehensive analysis and comparison, it can be concluded that a carbonization temperature of 1200 °C is the optimum.

Hydrocarbon Resin-Based Composites with Low Thermal Expansion Coefficient and Dielectric Loss for High-Frequency Copper Clad Laminates. Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14112200. [PMID: 35683874 PMCID: PMC9182675 DOI: 10.3390/polym14112200] [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: 04/29/2022] [Revised: 05/16/2022] [Accepted: 05/27/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
The rapid development of the 5G communication technology requires the improvement of the thermal stability and dielectric performance of high-frequency copper clad laminates (CCL). A cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) resin was added to the original 1,2-polybutadienes (PB)/styrene ethylene butylene styrene (SEBS) binary resin system to construct a PB/SEBS/COC ternary polyolefin system with optimized dielectric properties, mechanical properties, and water absorption. Glass fiber cloths (GFCs) and SiO2 were used to fill the resin matrix so to reduce the thermal expansion coefficient (CTE) and enhance the mechanical strength of the composites. It was found that the CTE of polyolefin/GFCs/SiO2 composite laminates decreased with the increase of SiO2 loading at first, which was attributed to the strong interfacial interaction restricting the segmental motion of polymer chains between filler and matrix. It was obvious that the addition of COC and SiO2 had an effect on the porosity, as shown in the SEM graph, which influenced the dielectric loss (Df) of the composites directly. When the weight of SiO2 accounted for 40% of the total mass of the composites, the laminates exhibited the best comprehensive performance. Their CTE and Df were reduced by 63.3% and 22.0%, respectively, and their bending strength increased by 2136.1% compared with that of the substrates without COC and SiO2. These substrates have a great application prospect in the field of hydrocarbon resin-based CCL.

Abstract
In industry, over usage of Cu2+ and Al3+ will lead to toxic wastewater, which further to give serious pollution for the environment. On the other hand, L-lysine can enhance serotonin release in the amygdala, with subsequent changes in psychobehavioral responses to stress. Therefore it is the urgent problem to design a method for detecting the amount of Cu2+, Al3+, and L-lysine. In this work, through the solvothermal synthesis method, two new coordination complexes based on the new bifunctional building block 4'-(1H-1,2,4-triazole-1-yl)- [1,1'-biphenyl]-4-carboxylic acid (HL) have been synthesized, namely, [Zn(L)2·4H2O] (complex 1) and [Cd(L)2·4H2O] (complex 2). X-ray single-crystal diffractometer was used to analyze its structure, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) patterns confirmed that 1 and 2 powder's purity and 1 can keep stable during the detection process of Cu2+, Al3+, and L-lysine, respectively. Elemental analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, infrared analysis, ultraviolet analysis and fluorescent spectrum have been used to characterize these complexes. The photo-luminescent test showed that 1 can accurately recognize Al3+ and Cu2+ among various cations. On the other hand, 1 can distinguish L-lysine among amino acid molecules. Therefore, 1 can be utilized as a multifunctional fluorescent probe for Al3+(Ksv = 1.5570 × 104 [M]-1), Cu2+(Ksv = 1.4948 × 104 [M]-1) and L-lysine (Ksv = 4.9118 × 104 [M]-1) with low detection limits (17.5 μM, 18.2 μM, 5.6 μM) respectively.

Abstract
AbstractCarbon nanofibers (CNFs) were prepared by electrospinning, and silver (Ag) ions were grown on the surface of the CNFs by in situ solution synthesis. The structure and morphology of obtained Ag-doped CNFs (Ag-CNFs) were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The gas sensibility of the composite fiber was investigated by ammonia (NH3) obtained by natural volatilization from 1 to 4 mL of NH3 solution at room temperature. It was found that the fibers exhibited a sensitive current corresponding to different NH3 concentrations and a greater response at high concentrations. The sensing mechanism was discussed, and the good absorptivity was demonstrated. The results show that Ag-CNF is a promising material for the detection of toxic NH3.

Abstract
To address the life span of materials in the process of daily use, new types of structural nanofibers, fabricated by multifluid electrospinning to encapsulate both epoxy resin and amine curing agent, were embedded into an epoxy matrix to provide it with self-healing ability. The nanofibers, which have a polyacrylonitrile sheath holding two separate cores, had an average diameter of 300 ± 140 nm with a uniform size distribution. The prepared fibers had a linear morphology with a clear three-chamber inner structure, as verified by scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope images. The two core sections were composed of epoxy and amine curing agents, respectively, as demonstrated under the synergistic characterization of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and differential scanning calorimetry. The TGA results disclosed that the core-shell nanofibers contained 9.06% triethylenetetramine and 20.71% cured epoxy. In the electrochemical corrosion experiment, self-healing coatings exhibited an effective anti-corrosion effect, unlike the composite without nanofibers. This complex nanostructure was proven to be an effective nanoreactor, which is useful to encapsulate reactive fluids. This engineering process by multiple-fluid electrospinning is the first time to prove that this special multiple-chamber structure has great potential in the field of self-healing.
