摘要:Poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO), as a water-soluble polymer with thickening, sustained releasing, lubrication, dispersion, water retention and other properties, is widely used in fields such as food, medicine, chemical industry, energy battery. However, due to the low bond energy of the ether-oxygen bond on the PEO molecular chain, whose breakage is easily led by the exposure of external factors during processing and use, which in turn results in the reduction of the molecular weight of PEO, thus severely limiting the processing conditions, as well as the performance and service life of the final product of PEO. Based on the current performance requirements of PEO materials, this paper reviews the current research progress on PEO degradation behavior and degradation mechanism under thermal, irradiation, mechanical stress and ultrasonic conditions. In addition, measures to prevent degradation of PEO are summaried, and the related mechanisms of various prevention measures based on successful cases are discussed. Finally, the future development direction of related fields is prospected. This review aims to provide a useful reference for the production and processing of PEO.
摘要:Drugs in traditional dosage forms have low bioavailability and it is difficult to achieve sustained release and targeted administration. Therefore, it is imperative to develop new dosage forms that meet the clinical needs of patients. Nanocarrier drug delivery systems have the characteristics of achieving targeted drug delivery, which has attracted considerable interest within the scientific community. Among them, the protein nanoparticle delivery system can significantly enhance the water solubility and stability of the drug, reduce the dosage of the drug to alleviate side effects, and be biodegradable in the body with minimal irritation. Among these, albumin nanoparticles, silk fibroin nanoparticles, and zein nanoparticles, three protein nanoparticles derived from different biological sources, are highly representative protein nanoparticle drug delivery systems. This review introduced the characteristics, preparation methods and application status of the aforementioned three protein nanoparticles, and discussed the challenges and possible solutions in the current research, providing a reference for further research and development of new drugs based on protein nanoparticles.

摘要:Polypyrrole (PPy) is an inexpensive conductive polymer with efficient storage capacity, but its limited solubility restricts its production and application. Therefore, to expand its application scope, the design and research of multifunctional PPy composites have garnered significant attention. PPy/iron-based composites are prepared via methods such as the hydrothermal method, polymerization method, and one-pot method. The research on the application of PPy/iron composites primarily focuses on fields such as capacitors, electromagnetic wave absorbing materials, adsorbents, sensors, pharmaceuticals, and catalysts. In particular, they exhibit excellent performance in the electrode materials of supercapacitors, the absorption of electromagnetic waves, the adsorption of heavy metal ions, and catalytic degradation, showcasing broad application prospects. With the continuous development of preparation technology and further expansion of application fields, PPy/iron-based composites are expected to play a significant role in more areas.

摘要:RNA interference (RNAi) holds great potential in the treatment of cancer and various diseases. It is urgent to develop efficient and safe delivery carriers to achieve the clinical application of RNAi-based therapeutics. In this study, Flash nanoprecipitation (FNP) technology was utilized to prepare stable nanoparticles (NPs) based on CS and sodium tripolyphosphate (TPP). The effects of chitosan (CS) concentration, molecular weight, and the mass ratio of CS to TPP on the physicochemical properties of CS/TPP NPs were extensively investigated. Subsequently, suitable NPs were selected for in vitro siRNA delivery to HeLa cells. The results showed that stable complex NPs could be formed when the concentration of CS was 0.3-0.6 g/L and the mass ratio of CS to TPP was 1/1-4/1. Among them, stable CS NPs with a diameter of 70-100 nm were obtained at a CS concentration of 0.5 g/L and a CS/TPP mass ratio of 2/1. The selected CS/TPP NPs demonstrated a siRNA loading efficiency of 75%-90% with low cytotoxicity. siRNA-loaded CS NPs induced approximately 30% silencing of the target gene at a siRNA dose of 2.5 ng/μL, indicating a certain level of siRNA delivery efficiency. These results provide valuable insights for preparing stable and small CS NPs for siRNA delivery.
摘要:To investigate the adsorption characteristics of hydrophobically associating polymers and anionic surfactants on the sandstone surface, hydrophobically associating polymer (HAWP) and sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDS) were employed as the research objects to establish the HAWP/SDS system. Moreover, the molecular dynamics simulation was utilized to elucidate the competitive adsorption characteristics of the hydrophobically associating polymers and anionic surfactants on the sandstone surface. The simulation results indicated that during the adsorption of the HAWP/SDS system on the sandstone surface, SDS underwent chromatographic separation, and its diffusion coefficient was larger than that of HAWP. It was preferentially adsorbed on the surface of the sandstone, and the SDS content in the system diminished. The interactions between SDS and the polymer HAWP were weakened, which led to the extension of the polymer HAWP chain and altered the properties of the system. The adsorption of SDS on the sandstone surface was primarily affected by hydrogen bonding, and the absolute value of its adsorption energy on the sandstone surface exhibited a pattern of rapid increase, followed by a slight decrease, then an increase again, and finally tended to stabilize. The relative concentration distribution (RCD) results revealed that the anionic surfactant SDS can be adsorbed on the surface of the sandstone and form a monolayer of self-assembled film on the sandstone surface, which resulted in the water on the sandstone surface being driven away from the surface, thus changing the wetting property of the sandstone surface.
摘要:Succinic acid is a renewable chemical obtained through biological fermentation and can serve as a bio-material for epoxy resin preparation. The obtained epoxy vitrimer combines the properties of renewable, high-performance, and reprocessable together. In this study, we synthesized a bio-based epoxy vitrimer using succinic acid and utilized infrared spectroscopy and a rotary rheometer to investigate the gelation and curing process during the polymerization procedure from monomer to polymer, monitoring molecular structure translation and viscoelastic change. Furthermore, we studied the thermal stability, viscoelasticity, and mechanical properties of the vitrimers to provide a theoretical basis for the development and research of new epoxy resin vitrimer materials.
摘要:Polyacrylate latex pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) were prepared by using acrylic acid (AA), methyl methacrylate (MMA), butyl acrylate (BA), hydroxyethyl acrylate (HEA) and glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) as comonomers, and then highly tear-resistant polyacrylate latex pressure-sensitive adhesives (HPSAs) were further obtained by grafting dopamine (DOPA) with epoxy groups of PSAs. The effects of functional DOPA monomer dosage on the stability, viscosity, particle size and distribution, adhesion, and water resistance of HPSAs were investigated. It was the introduction of GMA and DOPA that effectively realized the unity of the adhesive force and cohesive force of HPSAs; when the amounts of GMA and DOPA were 3.0% and 0.4%, HPSA4 exhibited good stability, average particle size (185.4 nm) and distribution (PDI, 0.12), and best adhesive properties with initial adhesion (No. 12 ball), holding adhesion (>72 h), and 180° peeling strength (13.1 N). HPSAs are used as composite adhesives for composited polyethylene-based plastic protective films with low surface energy. The results showed that HPSA4 had an excellent composite effect and exhibited high tear resistance, and thus, might have broad application prospects.
摘要:To understand the influence of rubber tree clones on the quality consistency of ribbed smoked sheet (RSS), two typical rubber tree clones, IAN873 and Reyan73397, whose inherent molecular weight distribution (MWD0) belonged to the unimodal MWD0 and bimodal MWD0, respectively, were selected in this study to prepare four RSS samples according to the same process in the latex stage. Analysis of the intrinsic structure and key non-rubber components of raw rubber showed that the weight average and number average relative molecular weight, gel content, Mooney viscosity, and initial plastic value of the RSS samples prepared using IAN873 were significantly higher than those prepared using Reyan73397. And the protein and lipid contents of IAN873 were also higher than those prepared using Reyan73397. Analysis of the properties of the vulcanizates revealed that IAN873 exhibited a higher effective crosslinking density, leading to increased stress at definite elongation and tensile strength, as well as reduced dynamic heat generation and permanent compression deformation. Overall, rubber tree clones have a significant influence on the structure and properties of RSS, which is the key factor affecting the quality consistency of RSS.
