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

Poly(glycolic acid)(PGA) is a promising chemically recyclable polymer, characterized by its seawater degradability and high mechanical strength. In this study, aliphatic polycarbonates were synthesized through melt polycondensation and subsequently copolymerized with glycolide(GL) to produce chemically recyclable PGA based triblock copolymers with well-defined structures. The properties of these copolymers, including their thermal properties, crystallization behavior, and mechanical performance, can be effectively adjusted by modifying the structure and content of the middle block. Furthermore, an in-depth investigation reveals that the pyrolysis process involves ester exchange, radical, and back-biting reactions. In addition, the high-efficiency "Monomer↔Copolymer" chemical recycling loop has been established, achieving a remarkable yield exceeding 88% along with a purity greater than 99%.展开更多

文摘The development of degradable and chemically recyclable polymers is a promising strategy to address pressing environmental and resource-related challenges.Despite significant progress,there is a need for continuous development of such recyclable polymers.Herein,PPDOPLLA-PU copolymers were synthesized from poly(p-dioxanone)-diol(PPDO-diol)and poly(L-lactide)-diol(PLLA-diol)by chain extension reaction.The chemical structures and microphase structures of PPDO-PLLA-PU were characterized,and their crystalline properties,mechanical properties,and degradation behaviors were further investigated.Significantly,the distribution of PLLA phase in the copolymer matrix showed a rod-like microstructure with a slight orientation,despite the thermodynamic incompatibility of PPDO and PLLA segments.Moreover,on the basis of this microphase separation,PPDO spherulites can crystallize using the interface of the two phases as nucleation sites.Accordingly,the combined effect of above two contributes to the enhanced mechanical properties.In addition,PPDO-PLLA-PU copolymers have good processability and recyclability,making them valuable for a wide range of applications.

文摘Chemically recyclable polythioesters are of particular interest owing to their unique properties and desired sustainability.By the exploit of a benzo-fusion strategy toε-thiocaprolactone,we successfully improved the chemical recyclability and regulated the thermal and mechanical properties of the resulting polythioesters.The efficient ring-opening polymerization(ROP)of benzo-fused thiolactone monomers(M)containing different substituents gave rise to high-molecular-weight semi-aromatic polythioesters P(M)s.The resulting P(M)s showcased tunable physical and mechanical properties.The debenzylation of P(M3)was able to generate P(M3-OH)with free hydroxyl sidechains.Notably,chemical recycling of the resulting P(M)s back to their corresponding monomers via bulk thermal depolymerization achieved high efficiency(>95%yield,99%purity),establishing a closed-loop lifecycle.

文摘The photoinduced ligand-to-metal charge transfer(LMCT)process has been extensively investigated,however,the recovery of photocatalysts has remained a persistent challenge in the field.In light of this issue,a novel approach involving the development of iron-based ionic liquids as photocatalysts has been pursued for the first time,with the goal of simultaneously facilitating the LMCT process and addressing the issue of photocatalyst recovery.Remarkably,the iron-based ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrachloroferrate(C_(4)mim-Fe Cl_(4))demonstrates exceptional recyclability and stability for the photocatalytic hydroacylation of olefins.This study will pave the way for new approaches to photocatalytic organic synthesis using ionic liquids as recyclable photocatalysts.

文摘Elastomers are widely used in various fields owing to their excellent tensile properties.Recyclable and self-healing properties are key to extending the service life of elastomers.Accumulating evidence indicates that dynamic covalent chemistry has emerged as a powerful tool for constructing recyclable and self-healing materials.In this work,we demonstrate the preparation of a recyclable and self-healable polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS)elastomer based on the Knoevenagel condensation(KC)reaction.This PDMS elastomer was prepared by the KC reaction catalyzed by 4-dimethylaminopyridine(DMAP).The obtained PDMS elastomer exhibited an elongation at break of 266%,a tensile strength of 0.57 MPa,and a good thermal stability(Td=357℃).In addition,because of the presence of dynamic C=C bonds formed by the KC reaction and low glass transition temperature(Tg=-117℃).This PDMS exhibited good self-healing and recycling properties at room temperature and could be reprocessed by hot pressing.In addition,the PDMS elastomer exhibits good application prospects in the fields of adhesives and flexible electronic devices.

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Polymers that exhibit both biodegradability and chemical recyclability offer a promising solution to environmental pollution and resource scarcity. Poly(glycolic acid)(PGA) is a promising chemically recyclable polymer, characterized by its seawater degradability and high mechanical strength. In this study, aliphatic polycarbonates were synthesized through melt polycondensation and subsequently copolymerized with glycolide(GL) to produce chemically recyclable PGA based triblock copolymers with well-defined structures. The properties of these copolymers, including their thermal properties, crystallization behavior, and mechanical performance, can be effectively adjusted by modifying the structure and content of the middle block. Furthermore, an in-depth investigation reveals that the pyrolysis process involves ester exchange, radical, and back-biting reactions. In addition, the high-efficiency "Monomer↔Copolymer" chemical recycling loop has been established, achieving a remarkable yield exceeding 88% along with a purity greater than 99%.

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Despite their high-energy conversion efficiency that has earned them the label of next-generation energy utilization devices,protonic ceramic fuel cells(PCFCs)have not yet fully fulfilled their potential in terms of low-cost integration and environmentally friendly application,which remain significant concerns that heavily influence their progress towards commercial viability.A pragmatic way of cell recycling is extremely helpful for addressing these concerns.Herein,we unveil a novel concept of reusable PCFCs,and propose a comprehensive recycling scheme for discarded PCFCs.In this research,a recycled cell with a recycled single perovskite cathode exhibited a peak power density(PPD)of 1.10 W cm^(-2)at 700℃,comparable to a pristine cell of 1.05 W cm^(-2).Metal ion rearrangement and phase evolution during the recycling processes were investigated,which were demonstrated to be in high relevance to the performance of recycled cells.This research constitutes a pioneering exploration of the mechanisms underlying recycling efforts and offers valuable insights into the material recycling of solid-state functional devices used for energy conversion and storage.

文摘Concrete production often relies on natural aggregates,which can lead to resource depletion and environmental harm.In addition,improper disposal of thermoplastic waste exacerbates ecological problems.Although significant attention has recently been given to recycling various waste materials into concrete,studies specifically addressing thermoplastic recycled aggregates are still trending.This underscores the need to comprehensively review existing literature,identify research trends,and recognize gaps in understanding the mechanical performance of thermoplastic-based recycled aggregate concrete.Accordingly,this review summarizes recent investigations focused on the mechanical properties of thermoplastic-based recycled aggregate concrete,emphasizing aspects such as compressive strength,tensile behavior,modulus of elasticity,and durability characteristics.The primary aim is to consolidate scattered research findings,identify key parameters influencing mechanical behavior,and propose future research directions.Understanding the influence of recycled thermoplastic aggregates on concrete performance significantly supports sustainable construction practices by reducing dependency on virgin aggregates and mitigating environmental impacts associated with waste disposal.In addition,assessing mechanical performance contributes to confidence in the practical application,encouraging the broader adoption of thermoplastic-based recycled aggregate concrete in construction projects.Through this critical synthesis,the review guides researchers and industry practitioners toward informed decisions on the feasibility and reliability of integrating thermoplastic waste into concrete,thereby promoting sustainable infrastructure development.
