摘要:Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) and poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) undergo an ageing process on storage at room temperature which renders them increasingly mechanical property deterioration, which has been attributed to the development of secondary crytallisation. The formation of β crystals by tensile induction can effectively inhibit the secondary crystallization and improve the mechanical properties. This paper reviews the β crystal structure of PHB and PHBV, and the formation and transformation mechanism of β crystal. The influence of β crystal structure on mechanical properties and the research progress of toughening mechanism are summarized emphatically. The relationship between β crystal structure and degradation properties was briefly reviewed. Finally, the gaps in the research of β crystal structure are analyzed.
摘要:As a water-soluble polymeric material based on a polysaccharide, carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCTs) has been widely used in the fields of medicine and industry in virtue of their excellent properties such as biocompatibility, biodegradability, moisturizing, hemostasis, antibacterial and absorbability. After being implanted, CMCTs could be degraded while involved in enzyme, oxygen, microbial, water and other suitable environments through absorption, metabolism and excretion. The rate of in vivo degradation mainly depends on the size, degree of deacetylation, degree of substitution and molecular weight of the sample. Exploring the degradation and metabolism behavior of CMCTs in vivo was essential for the quality control and clinical application of CMCTs. Up to now, the mechanism of the degradation and metabolism of CMCTs in organs in terms of its absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion patterns in vivo is not well elucidated, which would limit its application in the field of biomaterials. Therefore, this review aims to summarize the degradation and metabolism behavior of CMCTs based biomaterials reported in recent years. The biological properties, degradation mode and metabolic process of CMCTs were reviewed. The in vivo distribution of metabolism and pathway of excretion during the degradation of CMCTs were interpreted. Meanwhile, the key factors, such as size of implants, degree of deacetylation, degree of substitution, molecular weight, degree of crosslinking and composition, which influence the degradation of CMCTs were also summarized. This work is expected to provide a reference for the research and development of CMCTs based biomaterials.

摘要:This paper explores the feasibility of preparing different micro-structures of desulfurization waste rubber powder (WRP) by using mechanochemical and thermochemical, and its effect on the properties of modified asphalt. The results show that different micro-structures of desulfurization WRP can be prepared by the two methods. Due to the different desulfurization mechanism, the micro morphology of desulfurization WRP prepared by the two methods is different. With increasing reaction temperature, the crosslink density and sulfur content of desulfurization WRP decrease, and the oxygen content increases. The content and PDI of sol component in the desulfurization WRP increase, and the Mn decreases. With the reaction temperature increases, the processing workability of desulfurized WRP modified asphalt is enhanced with the reduced in its high-temperature performance and resilience. The storage stability of desulfurized WRP modified asphalt is weakened first and then enhanced. The low-temperature performance of mechanochemical desulfurized WRP modified asphalt is reduced first and then increased, while it is reduced for thermochemical desulfurized WRP modified asphalt. With the particle size of WRP decreases, the crosslink density and sulfur content of thermochemical desulfurized WRP decrease, and the oxygen content increases. The content and PDI of sol component increase, and the Mn decreases. It is reversed for mechanochemical desulfurized WRP. With the particle size of WRP decreases, the storage stability of desulfurization WRP modified asphalt was enhanced. The high and low temperature properties and resilience of mechanochemical desulfurized WRP modified asphalt are enhanced, while these are reversed for thermochemical desulfurized WRP modified asphalt.
摘要:In the industrial production of polyglycolide (PGA) perpared via ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of glycolide (GL), the catalysts used play a significant role in controlling the polymerization reaction and the molecular weights of the resultant PGA products. In this study of ring-opening polymerization of glycolide using various metal compound catalysts and hydroxyl initiators, the effects of different metal centers (tin, aluminum, zinc and zirconium) and different ligand structures (alkoxy, carboxylate, acetylacetonate and halogen) on the ring-opening polymerization reaction of glycolide and the coloring issues of the resulting polymer were investigated. It was found that the metal used dominantly determined its catalytic activity and the color of the PGA products obtained, while the anionic ligands showed only limited influence. Among the catalyst systems studied, the tin metal center catalysts exhibited the highest catalytic activity, enabling rapid and complete conversion of the GL monomer even at very low concentration. Moreover, the PGA products obtained from the tin or zirconium metal center catalysts possessed the most desirable color attributes.

摘要:Photocatalytic degradation of organic dyes is considered as an ideal strategy to solve the dye pollution problem. In this study, melamine, graphene oxide (GO), and hollow ZnFe2O4 were used as precursors to construct a 3D ZnFe2O4/g-C3N4/rGO skeleton by heat treatment. Then, the silver (Ag) as a co-catalyst was immobilized on the ZnFe2O4/g-C3N4/rGO skeleton to prepare the 3D ZnFe2O4/g-C3N4/rGO@Ag composite photocatalyst. The structure, morphology, and chemical composition of the obtained materials were characterized with Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR),X-ray diffraction patterns (XRD)and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The experimental results showed that the degradation activity of ZnFe2O4/g-C3N4/rGO@Ag composite catalyst for Rhodamine B (RhB) was significantly enhanced, and the degradation rate of RhB reached 97% within 20 min under visible light irradiation, which was twice as high as that of ZnFe2O4/g-C3N4/rGO. In addition, the introduction of ZnFe2O4 endowed the ZnFe2O4 @g-C3N4/GO@Ag composite with good magnetic properties, which can be easily separated from the reaction system under the action of an external magnetic field. After repeated use for 5 times, the photocatalytic activity did not decrease significantly, indicating that the catalytic material has excellent stability and recyclability.

摘要:Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) was prepared through free-radical polymerization using BPO as the initiator. Size-exclusion chromatography and several NMR analysis methods, including 1H-NMR, 13CNMR, DEPT135-NMR, heteronuclear multiple-bond correlation, and heteronuclear single quantum correlation NMR were used to analyze the structure of the end vinyl group from disproportionation termination to disclose the mechanism. 1H-NMR measurement indicates that there are two NMR proton resonances at δ=6.20 and 5.47 ppm, the other NMR methods confirm that there is only one type of vinyl group formed from disproportionation and the transferred hydrogen radical comes from the side methyl group at the chain end. The polymerization behavior of the end vinyl group in PMMA provides further evidence to support the conclusion from NMR measurements. In addition, there is also marked primary termination besides disproportionation in the polymerization.
摘要:The integration of teaching and scientific research is the development direction of teaching reform. Here, a case of teaching promoting scientific research is presented. An innovative idea has been extracted from thinking and systematic digest of teaching contents. Polymer crystallization is one of the core contents of the "Polymer Physics" course. Therein, it is widely considered that molecular weight shows a great influence on polymer crystallization process and aggregated structure. First, fractional segregation is observed during crystallization based on molecular weight. Second, different molecular weights lead to different aggregation structures. Hence, it is speculated that there would be a distribution of aggregation structure in polymers due to the polydispersity of molecular weight. The speculation promotes the discovery of a novel nested spherulite texture and provides key guidance for the study of its formation mechanism. By showing the feasibility and superiority of the teaching promoting scientific research, this paper provides an example of the integration of teaching and scientific research.

摘要:Polymer processing rheology is a comprehensive theoretical and practical course that is based on polymer physics and serves as a foundation for the polymer molding process and the design of plastic molding die. It acts as a bridge between undergraduate polymer materials and engineering courses. In response to the course’s current teaching status, in this paper, the engineering education professional certification concept is as a guide and combined with our school's professional characteristics, the idea of curriculum reform is proposed, and the reform of teaching content, experiment teaching and teaching methods are also discussed. A more reasonable and perfect course teaching system has been developed, and the reformed teaching content structure has been further optimized.
