摘要:Plastics have been applied in all aspects of human life and modern industry. The "white pollution" of waste plastics caused by the large-scale use of plastic products has become a central issue for all walks of life. This paper reviews the origin, development, and significance of plastics. By interpretating the basic science of plastic degradation (degradable plastics), expressions related to disposable plastic products have been clarified. The author proposes that the expression "ban on non-degradable disposable plastic products" is accurate and scientific, while arbitrarily rewriting it as "ban on disposable non-degradable plastic products" is unprofessional, wrong, and should be corrected. Moreover, the author puts forwards that the origin of "white pollution" concept is related to the recycling and treatment methods of waste plastics. The bad reputation of plastics aroused from "white pollution" is not only related to the light and thin characteristics of plastics, but also related to the norms of human behavior and social ethics. It is fair to claim that the "white pollution" stigma should not be attached to plastics if they were not used as good and cheap disposable products, especially if they were not discarded indiscriminately after use. Along with the gradual implementation of the ban on nondegradable disposable plastic products, the author advocates transformative ways for plastics use, including reduction and restriction in the production and use of disposable plastics, promotion of the multiple use and long-term use of plastics, and acceleration of the orderly recycling of disposable plastics. Furthermore, the author proposes new concepts of initiated/ switchable degradation and controlled/programmable degradation. Lastly, the author emphasizes the significance and urgency to develop high-performance and multi-functional plastics, particularly the bottleneck of high-end materials, which should be complementary to non-petroleum-based and bio-based polymer materials.
摘要:Aerogel material is a porous material composed of polymer molecular chains or nanoparticles. It has the characteristics of low density, high pore volume, high porosity and large specific surface area. It exhibits excellent properties of light, heat, sound, electricity and mechanics. Aerogel lightweight materials can be a good substitute for metal materials, and have wide application prospects in the field of aeronautics and astronautics such as thermal insulation, electromagnetic shielding, energy storage and body skeleton. In this review, the latest research progress of aerogels and their applications in aeronautics and astronautics have been well summarized. The potential applications of aerogels in this field and the future development direction of aerogels are also prospected.
摘要:Marine mussel-like organisms secrete adhesion proteins through foot filaments that can solidify for a short time in a humid environment and adhere tightly to the substrate surface. Studies have shown that 3,4-dihydroxy-Lphenylalanine (dopa, DOPA) is an important component of this adhesion protein. Dopamine (DA), a derivative of DOPA, possessed the same strong adhesion properties. Moreover, the self-polymerization product of dopamine, polydopamine (PDA), has many functional groups, such as catechol, amine, and imine, which can be further used as reactive groups in materials. Based on these excellent properties, dopamine is often applied in the surface modification of materials. In this paper, we reviewed the polymerization mechanism and adhesion properties of dopamine and their current applications in the fields of biomaterials, environment and medicine, and presented the prospect of dopamine in surface modification and the problems at the present stage.

摘要:Crossing linker was an indispensable component in the preparation of the hydrogel and its composition and structure influenced the properties and applications of hydrogels. Biodegradability and biocompatibility were essential properties of biomedical materials applied as drug carriers and tissue engineering scaffolds. The biodegradable agent as crossing linker could endow the hydrogel with biodegradability and biocompatibility and meet the requirements as biomedical materials. In this paper, the synthesis and application of natural and synthetic biodegradable polymer crossing linkers such as polysaccharide, polyester, poly(amino acid) were summarized. The development of the future biodegradable polymer crossing linker was also proposed.
摘要:Marine mussel has mastered rapid and robust adhesion with diverse solid surfaces in wet/underwater conditions, due to dopa adhesion protein containing catechol group secreted by mussel. The mussel-inspired adhesives, which mimic the abundant dopa adhesion protein in mussels, can effectively bond to various substrates in dry/underwater conditions. In the last decade, many researchers have been devoted to synthesizing biomimetic polymer adhesives containing catechol structure, and to exploring the influence of polymer bulk and external environment on the adhesion properties of the adhesives. The recent research progress of mussel-inspired adhesives with catechol is reviewed from the aspect of adhesion mechanism and materials design.
摘要:In this study, functionalized graphene composited phase change material microcapsules were designed and synthesized using n-octadecane (n-oct) and polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) as core materials and shell materials, respectively, by one-step in-situ polymerization technology. The surface morphologies, phase change properties, crystallization structure and thermal stabilities of the microcapsules were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), respectively. The results show that the prepared microcapsules are in a regular spherical shape and have dimples on the surface. The sizes of the prepared microcapsules are in the range of 1-200μm with an average diameter about 35μm. The functionalized graphene plays an important role in inducing the crystallization of phase change material microcapsules, decreasing the super-cooling degree of phase change material, but has little effect on the thermal stability of microcapsules. The minimum super-cooling degree of composited microcapsules can reach 2℃ and the thermal stability temperature can approach 178.1℃ when the addition of functionalized graphene is 0.3g.
摘要:In order to explore the adhesive water resistance of corn-stalk/HDPE composite with combined surface treatment, a combined treatment of polyisocyanate coating followed plasma discharge was used to deal with corn-stalk/ HDPE composite surface. The samples were bonded with moisture cure polyurethane hot melt adhesives, and waterresistant test was carried out afterwards. The results show that the surface properties of samples change obviously after combined treatment, which make the bonding strength of adhesive interface increased significantly. The combined-treated specimens have stronger ability to resist environmental water molecular damage, compared with the single coating-treated samples, and the adhesive joints show better water-resistance.
摘要:Engineering mechanics is a basic course for students majoring in materials science. However, students for polymer specialty generally report that they cannot integrate this course into their professional knowledge, resulting in the failure to achieve the expected training objectives of this course. This paper analyzed this problem from two aspects: student, teaching materials and teachers. Then, from the perspective of teaching design, an example of the integration of engineering mechanics knowledge and polymer professional knowledge was introduced, so as to guide students to realize the relevance between this course and professional knowledge. As a result, students are aware of the organic integration between the course and polymer professional knowledge. It is expected to provide a reference for the teaching reform of the course applied mechanics for polymer specialty.
摘要:In view of the problems encountered in polymer basic experiment teaching in our university, including the lack of effective evaluation and assessment of the preview situation, the limitation of safety education in the classroom, and the difficulty in carrying out large-scale experimental teaching for some experimental projects in undergraduate majors, we are exploring a teaching mode of combining online-offline and "virtual-real" teaching to reform the polymer basic experiment course. By optimizing online teaching resources, and establishing a system of online preparatory assessment, the effective examination and scientific evaluation of learning is realized. Moreover, by using online-offline auxiliary, virtual-entity complementation, increasing self-designed experiments, and strengthening online safety education, this new teaching paradigm can not only break the original limitations but also improve the professionalism, connectivity, and interest of courses, as well as comprehensive experimental abilities for students.
