Herein, a monomer 4-(((5-(hydroxymethyl)furan-2-yl)methylene)amino)phenol(FCN) containing furan ring with potential to form high density of hydrogen bonding among repeating units is designed and copolymerized with glycerol triglycidyl ether to yield epoxy resin(FCN-GTE), which intrinsically has dual hydrogen bond networks, dynamic imine structure and resultant high performance. Importantly, as compared to the BPA-GTE, the FCN-GTE exhibits significantly improved mechanical properties owing to the increased density of hydrogen bond network and physical crosslinking interaction. Furthermore, density functional theory(DFT) calculation and in situ FTIR analysis is conducted to decipher the formation mechanism of hydrogen bond network. In addition, the FCN-GTE possesses superior UV shielding, chemical degradation, and recyclability because of the existence of abundant imine bonds. Notably, the FCN-GTE-based carbon fiber composites could be completely recycled in an amine solution.This study provides a facile strategy for synthesizing recyclable biomass-based high-performance epoxy vitrimers and carbon fiber composites.展开更多

The self-...A self-healing and recyclable carbon tube/epoxy adhesive was prepared by epoxy monomer with Diels-Alder （DA） bonds, diethylenetriamine and polyethyleneimine modified multi-wall carbon nanotubes （MWCNTs）. The self-healing and recyclable ability was attained by thermally reversible Diels-Alder reaction between furan and maleimide in the epoxy monomer. By controlling the molar ratio of furfuryl glycidyl ether and 4,4＇-methylenebis（N-phenylmaleimide）, the glass transition temperature and mechanical properties of MWCNTs/epoxy adhesives were varied. The self-healing properties of MWCNTs/epoxy polymers were evaluated by lap shear experiment and the results showed that the MWCNTs/epoxy adhesives exhibited enhanced mechanical properties and excellent self-healing ability under heat stimulus. The healing efficiency was related to the molecule mobility and the conversion of DA reaction between furan and maleimide. The MWCNTs/epoxy adhesives also displayed excellent recyclable ability by transforming into soluble polymer under heating. These materials offer a wide range of possibilities to produce materials with healing and recyclable ability and have the potential to bring great benefits to our daily lives by enhancing the safety, performance, and lifetime of products.展开更多

文摘Flexible phase change materials(PCMs)have become increasingly critical to address the demand for thermal management in electronic technologies and energy conversion.However,their application remains challenging because of their rigidity,liquid leakage,and insufficient thermal conductivity.Herein,flexible glutamic acid@natural rubber/paraffin wax(PW)/carbon nanotubes-graphene nanoplatelets(GNR/PW/CGNP)phase change composites with high thermal conductivity,excellent shape stability,and recyclability were reported.Zn^(2+)-based dynamic crosslinking was constructed through the reaction of zinc acetate and carboxyl groups on glutamic acid@natural rubber(GNR),which was used as a flexible matrix to physically blend with paraffin wax/carbon nanotubes/graphene nanoplatelets(PW/CGNP)to achieve uniform dispersion of PW/CGNP,continuous thermal conductivity networks,and good encapsulation of PW.The GNR/PW/CGNP composites showed excellent mechanical strength,flexibility,and recycling ability,and effective encapsulation prevented the outflow of melted PW during the phase transition.Also,the phase change enthalpy could attain 111.1 J/g with a higher thermal conductivity of 1.055 W/m K,428%higher than that of pure PW owing to the formation of efficient thermal conductive pathways,which exhibited outstanding thermal management performance and superior temperature control behavior in electronic devices.The developed flexible composite PCMs may open new possibilities for next-generation flexible thermal management electronics.

文摘Most commercial plastics cannot easily degrade,which raises a number of sustainability issues.To address the current problem of plastic pollution,the research and development of easily degradable and recyclable polymers has become an attractive subject.Herein,a new monomer of thiosalicylic methyl glycolide(TSMG)was synthesized using one-pot method and high molecular weight poly(thiosalicylic methyl glycolide)(PTSMG,M_(n) up to 300 kDa)can be obtained via the ring-opening polymerization(ROP)of TSMG.PTSMG exhibits good closed-loop recyclability and hydrolytic degradability,where PTSMG can generate pristine monomers through sublimation thermal depolymerization conditions due to the presence of thiophenol ester bond in the polymer chains,and can be degraded rapidly in aqueous solution,which provides a potential solution to the current plastic pollution problem.

文摘Integrated printing of magnetic soft robots with complex structures using recyclable materials to achieve sustainability of the soft robots remains a persistent challenge.Here,we propose a kind of ferromagnetic fibers that can be used to print soft robots with complex structures.These ferromagnetic fibers are recyclable and can make soft robots sustainable.The ferromagnetic fibers based on thermoplastic polyurethane(TPU)/NdFeB hybrid particles are extruded by an extruder.We use a desktop three-dimensional(3D)printer to demonstrate the feasibility of printing two-dimensional(2D)and complex 3D soft robots.These printed soft robots can be recycled and reprinted into new robots once their tasks are completed.Moreover,these robots show almost no difference in actuation capability compared to prior versions and have new functions.Successful applications include lifting,grasping,and moving objects,and these functions can be operated untethered wirelessly.In addition,the locomotion of the magnetic soft robot in a human stomach model shows the prospect of medical applications.Overall,these fully recyclable ferromagnetic fibers pave the way for printing and reprinting sustainable soft robots while also effectively reducing e-waste and robotics waste materials,which is important for resource conservation and environmental protection.

文摘The emerging biomass-based epoxy vitrimers hold great potential to fulfill the requirements for sustainable development of society.Since the existence of dynamic chemical bonds in vitrimers often reduces both the thermal and mechanical properties of epoxy resins, it is challenging to produce recyclable epoxy vitrimers with both excellent mechanical properties and good thermal stability. Herein, a monomer 4-(((5-(hydroxymethyl)furan-2-yl)methylene)amino)phenol(FCN) containing furan ring with potential to form high density of hydrogen bonding among repeating units is designed and copolymerized with glycerol triglycidyl ether to yield epoxy resin(FCN-GTE), which intrinsically has dual hydrogen bond networks, dynamic imine structure and resultant high performance. Importantly, as compared to the BPA-GTE, the FCN-GTE exhibits significantly improved mechanical properties owing to the increased density of hydrogen bond network and physical crosslinking interaction. Furthermore, density functional theory(DFT) calculation and in situ FTIR analysis is conducted to decipher the formation mechanism of hydrogen bond network. In addition, the FCN-GTE possesses superior UV shielding, chemical degradation, and recyclability because of the existence of abundant imine bonds. Notably, the FCN-GTE-based carbon fiber composites could be completely recycled in an amine solution.This study provides a facile strategy for synthesizing recyclable biomass-based high-performance epoxy vitrimers and carbon fiber composites.

文摘Recycling of carbon fiber reinforced composites is important for sustainable development and the circular economy.Despite the use of dynamic chemistry,developing high-strength recyclable CFRPs remains a major challenge due to the mutual exclusivity between the dynamic and mechanical properties of materials.Here,we developed a high-strength recyclable epoxy resin(HREP)based on dynamic dithioacetal covalent adaptive network using diglycidyl ether bisphenol A(DGEBA),pentaerythritol tetra(3-mercapto-propionate)(PETMP),and vanillin epoxy resin(VEPR).At high temperatures,the exchange reaction of thermally activated dithioacetals accelerated the rearrangement of the network,giving it significant reprocessing ability.Moreover,HREP exhibited excellent solvent resistance due to the increased cross-linking density.Using this high-strength recyclable epoxy resin as the matrix and carbon fiber modified with hyperbranched ionic liquids(HBP-AMIM+PF6-)as the reinforcing agent,high performance CFRPs were successfully prepared.The tensile strength,interfacial shear strength(IFSS)and interlaminar shear strength(ILSS)of the optimized formulation(HREP20/CF-HBPPF6)were 1016.1,70.8 and 76.0 MPa,respectively.In addition,the CFRPs demonstrated excellent solvent and acid/alkali-resistance.The CFRPs could completely degrade within 24 h in DMSO at 140℃,and the recycled CF still maintained the same tensile strength and ILSS as the original after multiple degradation cycles.

文摘Epoxy resin,characterized by prominent mechanical and electric-insulation properties,is the preferred material for packaging power electronic devices.Unfortunately,the efficient recycling and reuse of epoxy materials with thermally cross-linked molecular structures has become a daunting challenge.Here,we propose an economical and operable recycling strategy to regenerate waste epoxy resin into a high-performance material.Different particle size of waste epoxy micro-spheres(100–600μm)with core-shell structure is obtained through simple mechanical crushing and boron nitride surface treatment.By using smattering epoxy monomer as an adhesive,an eco-friendly composite material with a“brick-wall structure”can be formed.The continuous boron nitride pathway with efficient thermal conductivity endows eco-friendly composite materials with a preeminent thermal conductivity of 3.71 W m^(−1)K^(−1) at a low content of 8.5 vol%h-BN,superior to pure epoxy resin(0.21 W m^(−1)K^(−1)).The composite,after secondary recycling and reuse,still maintains a thermal conductivity of 2.12 W m^(−1)K^(−1) and has mechanical and insulation properties comparable to the new epoxy resin(energy storage modulus of 2326.3 MPa and breakdown strength of 40.18 kV mm^(−1)).This strategy expands the sustainable application prospects of thermosetting polymers,offering extremely high economic and environmental value.

文摘The rapid development of stretchable electronics made by circuits,microchips,and encapsulation elastomers has caused the production of a large amount of electronic waste(e-waste).The degradation of elastomers can highly minimize the negative effects of e-wastes.However,chemicals that included acid,alkali,and organics were repeatedly used during the recycling process,which were environmentally unfriendly.Here,a water-modulation-degradation-reconstruction(WDR)polyvinylpyrrolidone(PVP)-honey composite(PHC)polymer-gel was developed and could be regarded as encapsulation elastomers to realize a fully recyclable water-degradable stretchable(WS)electronics with multi-functions.The stretchability of the PHC polymer-gel could be modulated by the change of its water retention.The Chip-integrated liquid metal(LM)circuits encapsulated with the modulated PHC encapsulation elastomer could withstand a strain value of~3000%.Moreover,we developed a WS biomedical sensor composed of PHC encapsulation elastomer,LM circuits,and microchips,which could be fully recycled by biodegrading it in water to reconstruct a new one.As before,the reconstructed WS biomedical sensor could still simultaneously realize the combination of ultra-stretchability,recycling,self-healing,self-adhesive,and self-conformal abilities.The results revealed that this study exercises a profound influence on the rational design of multi-functional WS electronics.

文摘Polyimides are a family of high-tech plastics that have irreplaceable applications in the fields of aerospace,defense,and opto-electronics,but polyimides are difficult to be reprocessed and recycled at the end of their service life,resulting in a significant waste of resources.Hence,it is of great significance to develop recyclable polyimides with comparable properties to the commercial products.Herein,we report a novel polymer-to-monomers chemically recyclable poly(imide-imine)(PtM-CR-PII)plastic,synthesized by cross-linking the amine-terminated aromatic bisimide monomer and the hexa-vanillin terminated cyclophosphazene monomer via dynamic imine bonds.The PtM-CR-PII plastic exhibits comparable mechanical and thermal properties as well as chemical stability to the commercial polyimides.The PtM-CR-PII plastic possesses a high Young’s modulus of≈3.2 GPa and a tensile strength as high as≈108 MPa,which also exhibits high thermal stability with a glass transition temperature of≈220℃.Moreover,the PtM-CR-PII plastic exhibits outstanding waterproofness,acid/alkali-resistance,and solvent-resistance,its appearance and mechanical properties can be well maintained after long-term soaking in water,highly concentrated acid and base,and various organic solvents.Furthermore,the cyclophosphazene moieties endow the PtM-CR-PII plastic with excellent flame retardancy.The PtM-CR-PII plastic exhibits the highest UL-94 flame-retarding rating of V-0 and a limiting oxygen index(LOI)value of 45.5%.Importantly,the PtM-CR-PII plastic can be depolymerized in an organic solvents-acid mixture medium at room temperature,allowing easy separation and recovery of both monomers in high purity.The recovered pure monomers can be used to regenerate new PtM-CR-PII plastics,enabling sustainable polymer-monomers-polymer circulation.
文摘The benzophenone structural unit is one of the most important functional groups in organic chemistry,which has a wide range of applications in drugs,light-curing agent,UV-light absorbent and so on.However,the traditional synthetic methods of benzophenone generally involve additives or toxic regents,leading to a large amount of waste and non-recyclable of[Pd]catalyst.Herein,we report Pd loaded carbon-modified TiO_(2)(Pd/C-TiO_(2))as an efficient and recyclable catalyst realized the generation of benzophenone through cross-coupling of benzaldehyde and iodobenzene under UV light irradiation,with the yield of 98%and selectivity up to 99%.Based on density functional theory(DFT)calculation and electron paramagnetic resonance(EPR)analysis,the reaction undergoes the Pd0-PdII-PdIII catalytic pathway,that is,benzaldehyde directly activated to acyl radical under UV light and then attracted by Pd-iodobenzene complex to proceed the coupling reaction for benzophenone generation.Owing to the in-situ reduction of dissolved[Pd]through TiO_(2)photocatalyst in the reaction system,good recyclability of metallic Pd can be achieved.This work not only shed light on a facile method for the synthesis of carbonyl-containing compounds but also offered a practical approach for minimizing the leaching of active metals in transition metal-catalyzed coupling reactions.

文摘A self-healing and recyclable carbon tube/epoxy adhesive was prepared by epoxy monomer with Diels-Alder （DA） bonds, diethylenetriamine and polyethyleneimine modified multi-wall carbon nanotubes （MWCNTs）. The self-healing and recyclable ability was attained by thermally reversible Diels-Alder reaction between furan and maleimide in the epoxy monomer. By controlling the molar ratio of furfuryl glycidyl ether and 4,4＇-methylenebis（N-phenylmaleimide）, the glass transition temperature and mechanical properties of MWCNTs/epoxy adhesives were varied. The self-healing properties of MWCNTs/epoxy polymers were evaluated by lap shear experiment and the results showed that the MWCNTs/epoxy adhesives exhibited enhanced mechanical properties and excellent self-healing ability under heat stimulus. The healing efficiency was related to the molecule mobility and the conversion of DA reaction between furan and maleimide. The MWCNTs/epoxy adhesives also displayed excellent recyclable ability by transforming into soluble polymer under heating. These materials offer a wide range of possibilities to produce materials with healing and recyclable ability and have the potential to bring great benefits to our daily lives by enhancing the safety, performance, and lifetime of products.
文摘Recyclable thermosets and thermoset composites with covalent adaptable networks(CANs,or dynamic covalent networks) have attracted considerable attention in recent years due to the combined merits of excellent mechanical and thermal properties,and chemical stabilities of traditional thermosets and recyclable,remoldable,and reprocessable attributes of thermoplastics.In this paper,we present an overview of the current strategies for synthesizing recyclable thermosets based on CANs,which involve recyclability,reprocessability,and possible rehealability.The recent literature examples are categorized based on the underlying controlled-cleavable linkages such as transesterification,DA/retro-DA chemistry,imine bonds,disulfide metathesis,dynamic B-O bonds,hemiaminals/hexahydrotriazines,and acetal linkages.Various degradation and malleability methods and resulting mechanical properties of the recycled thermosets and thermoset composites are presented.The emerging applications of recyclable thermosets and thermoset composites,with emphasis on their usage in adhesives,biomedical materials,wearable devices,coatings,and 3D printing materials,are also illustrated.Finally,a perspective on the challenges and future perspectives is briefly summarized.

文摘Electrochemical detection is an efficient method for the detection of Bisphenol A(BPA).Herein,a sensitive photo-electrochemical sensor based on two-dimensional(2 D)TiO_(2)(001)nanosheets was fabricated and then used for BPA electrochemical detection.Upon light irradiation,the 2 D TiO_(2)(001)nanosheets electrode provided a lower detection limit of BPA detection compared with an ambient electrochemical determination.The low detection limit is^5.37 nmol/L(S/N=3).Furthermore,profiting from the photoelectric characteristics,the 2 D TiO_(2)(001)nanosheets electrode exhibits a nice regeneration prope rty.After 45 min of light irradiation,the electrochemical signal was regenerated from14.7%to 82.9%of the original signal at the 6th cycle.This is attributed to the non-selective·OH mediation produced by the 2 D TiO_(2)(001)nanosheets mineralizing anodic polymeric products and resuming surface reactive sites.This investigation indicates that photo-assistance is an efficient method to improve the electrochemical sensor for detecting BPA in water environments.

文摘A novel three-dimension separable and recyclable r GH-PANI/BiOI photocatalyst with the synergism of adsorption-enrichment and photocatalytic-degradation was successfully prepared via a facile three-step hydrothermal method.The three-dimension reduced graphene oxide hydrogel(rGH)in with flower-like BiOI photocatalyst uniformly distributed not only possesses excellent adsorption and electron transport properties,but also is easy to be separated from water for recycling.In addition,polyphenylamine(PANI)provides superior hole transport ability due to its delocalizedл-лconjugate structure.The cooperation of rGH and PANI greatly enhances the separation efficiency of photogenerated carriers,and finally improves the photocatalytic degradation behaviors.The removal rates of Rhodamine B(RhB)by rGH-PANI/BiOI-70%composite under visible light respectively reach 100%and 50.13%in static and dynamic systems,which are 12.85 and 3.58 times of BiOI,respectively.The removal rate does not show decrease after 5 recycles indicating the excellent separable and recyclable property of rGH-PANI/BiOI photocatalyst.The work provides an essential reference for designing and constructing hydrogel-based ternary composite photocatalysts with excellent synergism of adsorption and photocatalysis,which shows great potential in the treatment of water pollution.

文摘Recyclable polymers offer a great opportunity to address the environmental issues of plastics.Herein,functionalization of recyclable polymers,poly((R)-3,4-trans six-membered ring-fused GBL)(P((R)-M)),were reported via end-group modifications and block/random copolymerizations.Di-n-butylmagnesium was selected to catalyze ring-opening polymerization(ROP)of(R)-M in the presence of a series of functional alcohols as the initiators.Block/random copolymerizations of(R)-M andε-caprolactone(ε-CL),L-lactide(L-LA)and trimethylene carbonate(TMC)were performed to control the onset decomposition temperature(T_(d)),melting temperature(T_(m))and glass transition temperature(T_(g)).These functionalized recyclable polymers would find broad applications as the sustainable plastics.
