Chain extenders, which are an important class of compounds, facilitate the elongation of polymer chains through reactive functional groups, thereby enhancing the performance of the materials. Epoxy-based chain extenders, due to their cost-effectiveness, low toxicity, high reaction efficiency, and effective reactivity with hydroxyl and carboxyl groups, have emerged as a promising class of chain extenders. This manuscript comprehensively elaborates on the varieties, structural characteristics, and performance of chain extenders, the challenges they face, and the methods for their modification. Special emphasis is placed on the application of epoxy-based chain extenders in biodegradable polymers, such as polylactic acid (PLA), and their subsequent influence on the structural and performance properties of these materials.展开更多

文摘A critical challenge hindering the practical application of lithium–oxygen batteries(LOBs)is the inevitable problems associated with liquid electrolytes,such as evaporation and safety problems.Our study addresses these problems by proposing a modified polyrotaxane(mPR)-based solid polymer electrolyte(SPE)design that simultaneously mitigates solvent-related problems and improves conductivity.mPR-SPE exhibits high ion conductivity(2.8×10^(−3)S cm^(−1)at 25℃)through aligned ion conduction pathways and provides electrode protection ability through hydrophobic chain dispersion.Integrating this mPR-SPE into solid-state LOBs resulted in stable potentials over 300 cycles.In situ Raman spectroscopy reveals the presence of an LiO_(2)intermediate alongside Li_(2)O_(2)during oxygen reactions.Ex situ X-ray diffraction confirm the ability of the SPE to hinder the permeation of oxygen and moisture,as demonstrated by the air permeability tests.The present study suggests that maintaining a low residual solvent while achieving high ionic conductivity is crucial for restricting the sub-reactions of solid-state LOBs.

文摘A glacier hazard chain can form a long-runout mass flow and generate a large flood,affecting downstream areas hundreds of kilometers away from the initiating hazard site.This study focuses on the Yarlung Zangbo Daxiagu.The objective is to address two key unresolved issues:the evolution of detached glacier materials into debris flows or debris floods and the amplification of the impact range and threats.A comprehensive framework is developed that considers the impacts of near-field and far-field hazards.Numerical modeling,remote sensing,and field investigations were integrated to understand the interactions,transformations,and amplifications of hazards in the glacier hazard chain.The results indicate that extensive,nearly saturated sediments on the glacier valley floor,when entrained,amplify the magnitude of the mass flow.The topography plays a crucial role.When the valley outlet is perpendicular to the river course,topographic obstacles cause immediate halting,resulting in the formation of high barrier dams.Conversely,when the glacier valley aligns nearly parallel to the river course,the mass flow can travel a much longer distance upon entering the river,causing an enlarged affected area.The barrier dams can breach rapidly,causing breaching floods that amplify the downstream impact from several kilometers to hundreds of kilometers.Our analysis reveals that the overall impacts remain spatially limited.Specifically,downstream areas along the Yarlung Zangbo-Brahmaputra River are unlikely to face greater threats from the upstream floods than local monsoon floods.Our findings provide the foundation for the management of glacier hazard chains.
文摘The philosophical concept of one bond connecting the world is an established scientific and economic phenomenon today.The global industrial and supply chains are symbols of that universal link of fraternity,cooperation and globalization.Despite a few major economies still trying to push forward a decoupling agenda and favoring a“small yard,high fence”strategy,globalization and cooperation remain a global trend.
文摘Global coffee giant Starbucks has been rooted in the Chinese market for 26 years,committed to bringing high-quality products and excellent experiences to consumers.As an“old friend”of the China International Supply Chain Expo(herei naf ter refer red to as the“CISCE”),Starbucks has participated in this event for two consecutive years and will draw a blueprint for the sustainable development of the coffee industry from the perspective of building a green industrial and supply chain at the 3rd CISCE.
文摘As there are numerous challenges to the global industrial and supply chains,the China International Supply Chain Expo(hereinafter referred to as the“CISCE”)hosted by the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade(CCPIT),has been playing a unique role as a“stabilizer”for international cooperation,an“accelerator”for economic development,and a“booster”for future transformation.

文摘An efficient strategy has been developed to reconstruct chain folding and traversing of poly(L-lactide)(PLLA)during melt crystallization based on the selective hydrolysis of its amorphous regions.The molecular weights of the pristine PLLA(crystalline part),single stem,and single cluster were determined by gel permeation chromatography(GPC)according to their evolution during alkali hydrolysis.The maximum-folding-number(in a single cluster)and minimum-cluster-number(in one polymer chain)were obtained using these molecular weights.With the help of two numbers,the chain folding and traversing during the melt crystallization process(at 120℃)of PLLA can be described as follows.Statistically,in a single polymer chain,there are at least 2 clusters consisting of up to 6.5 stems in each of them,while the rest of the polymer chain contributes to amorphous regions.Our results provide a new strategy for the investigation and fundamental understanding of the melt crystallization of PLLA.
