RESUMO
This paper introduces a transformative hydrodeoxygenation process for the simultaneous recovery of oil and iron from hazardous rolling oil sludge (ROS). Leveraging the inherent catalytic capabilities of iron/iron oxide nanoparticles in the sludge, our process enables the conversion of fatty acids and esters into hydrocarbons under conditions of 4.5 MPa, 330 °C, and 500 rpm. This reaction triggers nanoparticle aggregation and subsequent separation from the oil phase, allowing for effective resource recovery. In contrast to conventional techniques, this method achieves a high recovery rate of 98.3% while dramatically reducing chemical reagent consumption. The reclaimed petroleum and iron-ready for high-value applications-are worth 3910 RMB/ton. Moreover, the process facilitates the retrieval of nanoscale magnetic Fe and Fe0 particles, and the oil, with an impressive hydrocarbon content of 87.8%, can be further refined. This energy-efficient approach offers a greener, more sustainable pathway for ROS valorization.

Solid-state lithium metal batteries (SSLMBs) offer numerous advantages in terms of safety and theoretical specific energy density. However, their main components namely lithium metal anode, solid-state electrolyte, and cathode, show chemical instability when exposed to humid air, which results in low capacities and poor cycling stability. Recent studies have shown that bioinspired hydrophobic materials with low specific surface energies can protect battery components from corrosion caused by humid air. Air-stable inorganic materials that densely cover the surface of battery components can also provide protection, which improves the storage stability of the battery components, broadens their processing conditions, and ultimately decreases their processing costs while enhancing their safety. In this review, the mechanism behind the surface structural degradation of battery components and the resulting consequences are discussed. Subsequently, recent strategies are reviewed to address this issue from the perspectives of lithium metal anodes, solid-state electrolytes, and cathodes. Finally, a brief conclusion is provided on the current strategies and fabrication suggestions for future safe air-stable SSLMBs.
RESUMO
Anisotropic strain sensors capable of multidirectional sensing are crucial for advanced sensor applications in human motion detection. However, current anisotropic sensors encounter challenges in achieving a balance among high sensitivity, substantial stretchability, and a wide linear detection range. To address these challenges, a facile freeze-casting strategy was employed to construct oriented filler networks composed of carbon nanotubes and conductive carbon black within a brominated butyl rubber ionomer (iBIIR) matrix. The resulting anisotropic sensor based on the iBIIR composites exhibited distinct gauge factors (GF) in the parallel and vertical directions (GF⥠= 4.91, while GF⥠= 2.24) and a broad linear detection range over a strain range of 190%. This feature enables the sensor to detect various human activities, including uniaxial pulse, finder bending, elbow bending, and cervical spine movements. Moreover, the ion-cross-linking network within the iBIIR, coupled with strong π-cation interactions between the fillers and iBIIR macromolecules, imparted high strength (12.3 MPa, nearly twice that of pure iBIIR) and an ultrahigh elongation at break (>1800%) to the composites. Furthermore, the sensor exhibited exceptional antibacterial effectiveness, surpassing 99% against both Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Notably, the sensor was capable of wireless sensing. It is anticipated that anisotropic sensors will have extensive application prospects in flexible wearable devices.

Smart actuators hold great potential in soft robotics and sensors, but their movement at the fluid interface is less understood and controlled, hindering their performances and applications in complicated fluids. Here an ethanol-containing polyelectrolyte actuator is prepared that demonstrates excellent actuating performance via the Marangoni effect. These actuators exhibit enduring (17 min), repeatable (50 cycles), and autonomous motion on the water surface. More importantly, the motion of actuators are dependent on their shapes. Polygonal actuators with more edges exhibit round motion attached to walls of containers, while the actuators with few edges move randomly. On the basis of this property, the circular actuators can pass through pipe bends with S-shaped complex geometry. These unique advantages lend the actuators to successful applications in wireless sensing (standard 0-5 V level signals) for locating obstructions inside invisible pipes and continuous energy harvesting (7700 nC per cycle) for micro mechanical energy.

RESUMO
Enhancing the toughness of biodegradable polylactic acid (PLA) blends with minimal filler content meanwhile preserving their thermomechanical properties remains a highly desirable objective. Here, through a simple in situ mixing of PLA with cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) and cellulose nanocrystal nanofluids (CNCfs), the electrostatic interaction between CNCfs (+22.6 mv) and CNC (-9.07 mv) formed petal-like hybridized particles with CNCfs as the core and CNC particles as the outer layer. The rheological tests indicated a significant reduction in the zero-shear viscosity and storage modulus of PLA/CNCfs blends, while the viscosity of PLA/CNCfs@CNC slightly decreased but retained its storage modulus compared to pure PLA. The optimized PLA/CNCfs@CNC blends not only exhibited excellent melt processing performance, but also increased the elongation at break (increased by 184 % and 375 % at 8 °C and 45 °C, respectively) and enhanced toughness remarkably (increased by 3.5 and 3.3-fold at 8 °C and 45 °C, respectively) meantime retaining the modulus with 1 GPa. The addition of CNCfs@CNC hardly affects the glass transition temperature and thermo-mechanical properties of PLA. The dielectric properties of PLA/CNCfs1.0/CNC2.0 blends were maximized at 1000 Hz, reaching a value of 21, which can be attributed to the synergistic effect of multilayer interfacial polarization.

The opportunity for the preparation of high-performance shape memory materials was brought about by the excellent mechanical properties of poly(lactic acid) (PLA). As the effect of crystallization on shape memory was still unclear, this brings constraints to the high-performance design of PLA. The PLA plates with different aggregation structure were prepared by three kinds of molding methods in this paper. The PLA plates were pre-stretched with a series of different strains above glass transition temperature (i.e., 70 °C). The recovery stress and ratio of the material were measured above stretching temperature (i.e., 80 °C). Prolonging of annealing time resulted in more perfect crystal structure and higher crystallinity. The crystal region acted as network nodes in shape memory PLA, and crystal region structure determined the shape memory performance. Based on the experimental results, the structural evolution of network nodes in shape memory PLA was established.
RESUMO
As a very promising biodegradable polymer, polylactic acid (PLA) has been applied in various fields. Unfortunately, the disadvantages of flammability and large amounts of molten droplets limit its application. In this work, we constructed a novel flame-retardant system by combining the as-prepared bio-based chitosan derivative (CS-TE) and aluminum hypophosphite (AP), and used it to improve the flame retardancy and anti-dripping property. When 3.75 wt% CS-TE and 11.25 wt% AP were incorporated into PLA, the PLA composite had a limiting oxygen index of 28.5 % and achieved a UL-94 V-0 rating as well as showed excellent anti-dripping behavior. Meanwhile, the peak heat release rate and total smoke production decreased by 52.3 % and 73.4 % respectively.

The phase behavior of biomolecules containing persistent molecular entities is generally limited due to their characteristic size that exceeds the intermolecular force field. Consequently, favorable properties normally associated with the liquid phase of a substance, such as fluidity or processability, are not relevant for the processing of biomolecules, thus hindering the optimal processing of biomolecules. The implied problem that arises is how to convert folded biomolecules to display a richer phase behavior. To alleviate this dilemma, a generic approach to liquefied polysaccharides-based polymers is proposed, resulting in a polysaccharide fluid with a tunable condensed state structure (solid-gel-liquid). Polysaccharide biobased fluids materials transcend the limits of the physical state of the biobased material itself and can even create completely new properties (different processing methods as well as functions) in a variety of polymeric structures. Considering the solvent incompatible high and low-temperature applications, this method will have a great influence on the design of nanostructures of biomolecular derivatives and is expected to transform biomass materials such as polysaccharide biopolymers from traditional use to resource use, ultimately leading to the efficient use of biomass materials and their sustainability.

An ideal oil/water separation membrane should possess the characteristics of high flux and separation efficiency, recyclability, as well as good mechanical stability. Herein, a facile method is applied to fabricate a Janus polylactic acid (PLA) fibrous membrane for efficiently separating surfactant-stabilized oil/water mixtures. The Janus PLA fibrous membrane architecture was prepared by electrospinning a PLA/carbon nanotubes (CNTs) fibrous membrane and the subsequent electrospinning of a PLA/SiO2 nanofluids (nfs) membrane onto one side of the PLA/CNTs fibrous membrane. Due to the strong electrostatic interaction between SiO2 nfs and CNTs, synchronous enhancement and plasticization of PLA fibrous membranes were achieved, which was far superior to that reported in the literature. The introduction of CNTs had caused an upshift of the hydrophobicity of the PLA/CNTs fibrous membrane (water contact angle (WCA) > 140°). In contrast, SiO2 nfs bearing long-chain organic anions and cations located onto the surface of the fibers during electrospinning to achieve superhydrophilicity (WCA ≈ 0°). Benefiting from completely opposite wettability on both sides of the Janus membrane, the obtained asymmetric Janus membranes exhibited a high flux (1142-1485 L m-2 L-1) and excellent oil/water separation efficiency (>99%), which were superior to those reported for other Janus membranes. Furthermore, the Janus membranes showed desirable flux recovery without any treatment (>80% for water-in-oil emulsions and >90% for oil-in-water emulsions, respectively, after 11 cycles), showcasing promising applications for water treatment in the future.
RESUMO
As an indispensable component, separator is close related to electrochemical performance and safety of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, the current widely applied polyolefin microporous separator impedes the development of high power LIBs due to poorer electrolyte wettability and inferior thermal stability. Herein, heat-resistant polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) fibers and cellulose fibers (CFs) are adopted to fabricate a novel composite separator (CFs/PPS) via a facile papermaking process. The as-prepared CFs/PPS separator exhibits higher porosity, improved electrolyte uptake and superior wettability. These boost its ionic conductivity and decrease interfacial resistance between CFs/PPS separator and electrode, which further endow battery with good rate capability. Moreover, in comparison to commercial polypropylene separator, CFs/PPS separator gives superior thermal stability, satisfactory mechanical strength, broader electrochemical window and more stable cycle performance. Accordingly, CFs/PPS composite separator is very promising for application in high power LIBs.
RESUMO
In this paper, the electronspun Polylactic acid (PLA)/TiO2 nanofluids (nfs) fibrous membrane with good toughness, hydrophilicity and antibacterial activities are fabricated by taking full advantages of solvent-free TiO2 nfs with amphiphilicity and ionic conductivity. The resulting PLA/TiO2 nfs fibrous membrane exhibits excellent mechanical performance with a tensile strength and elongation at break of 3.68 MPa and 97.32 MPa at 5 wt% loading, respectively, which is 4 and 8 times higher than that of pure PLA, respectively. Additionally, TiO2 nfs can migrate onto the surface of PLA fibers during electrospun process, which significantly enhanced hydrophilicity, antistatic property, moisture sorption capacity and wicking properties of PLA fabrics. Meanwhile, the membrane also showed ultrafast water filtration of 3500 L m-2 h-1 driven by gravity force, which is 10-12 times higher than that of commercial ultrafiltration membrane. After ion-exchange reaction with salt solution, excellent antibacterial activity (against E. coli and S. aureus was 95% and 99.9%, respectively) and separation efficiency (above 90% on E. coli) of the obtained fabrics are also achieved. Overall, organic nfs are an idea candidate for fabricating hydrophilic PLA based biodegradable fabric that can be applied in contaminated water treatment, antibacterial textiles and biodegradable absorption materials.

In view of the sustainable and environmentally friendly characteristics of solar energy, solar water evaporation has been identified as a promising approach to mitigate the global water crises. However, it is still a great challenge to develop a portable, flexible, scalable, and high-performance solar water evaporation material. Herein, a bilayer-structured solar water evaporation material consisting of a top multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) layer and a bottom polyphenylene sulfide/fibrillated cellulose (PPS/FC) paper was fabricated via a simple vacuum filtration technology for efficient solar water evaporation. The MWCNT layer performs as a light absorber with a high solar absorptance (â¼93%) in the wavelength range from 400 to 1200 nm and good light-to-heat conversion capability, while the bottom layer (porous network-structured PPS/FC paper) exhibits excellent water transporting ability, high temperature stability, and good thermal insulating capability (0.0467 W m-1 K-1). Benefiting from the above advantages, an attractive water evaporation rate of 1.34 kg m-2 h-1 was achieved with near â¼95% efficiency under 1 sun irradiation (1 kW m-2). Moreover, the MWCNTs@PPS/FC paper maintains high solar evaporation efficiency after several cycles, indicating long-term durability and good reusability. Moreover, the collected clean water using the MWCNTs@PPS/FC paper from seawater of different salinities, simulated wastewater samples with different pH values or containing heavy metal ions, as well as industrial dyes, satisfy the drinkable water standard (defined by WHO), demonstrating excellent seawater desalination and wastewater purification capability. The advanced performances of the MWCNTs@PPS/FC paper could inspire novel paradigms of solar-driven water evaporation technologies in drinkable water collection.
RESUMO
Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) hydrogels have been considered as promising implants for various soft tissue engineering applications because of their tissue-like viscoelasticity and biocompatibility. However, two critical barriers including lack of sufficient mechanical properties and non-tissue-adhesive characterization limit their application as tissue substitutes. Herein, PVA is methacrylated with ultralow degrees of substitution of methacryloyl groups to produce PVA-glycidyl methacrylate (GMA). Subsequently, the PVA-GMA/methacrylate-functionalized silica nanoparticle (MSi)-based nanocomposite hydrogels are developed via the photopolymerization approach. Interestingly, both PVA-GMA-based hydrogels and PVA-GMA/MSi-based nanocomposite hydrogels exhibit outstanding compressive properties, which cannot be damaged through compressive stress-strain tests in the allowable scope of a tensile tester. Moreover, PVA-GMA/MSi-based nanocomposite hydrogels demonstrate excellent tensile properties compared with neat PVA-GMA-based hydrogels, and 15-, 14-, and 24-fold increase in fracture stress, elastic modulus, and toughness, respectively, is achieved for the PVA-GMA/MSi-based hydrogels with 10 wt % of MSi. These remarkable enhancements can be ascribed to the amount of long and flexible polymer chains of PVA-GMA and the strong interactions between the MSi and PVA-GMA chains. More interestingly, exciting improvements in the cell adhesion can also be successfully achieved by the incorporation of MSi nanoparticles.

Photocrosslinkable water-soluble maleilated chitosan and methacrylated poly (vinyl alcohol) were synthesized and therefore maleilated chitosan/methacrylated poly (vinyl alcohol) (MCS/MPVA) hydrogels were prepared under UV radiation. Series of properties of the hydrogels including rheological property, swelling behavior, morphology and mechanical test were investigated. The main results showed that the MCS/MPVA hydrogels had fast gel-forming rate (complete transformation to gel within 150s), improved compressive strength at 0.169±0.011MPa and rapid absorbent capacity. These behaviors could be tunable via the control of weight ratio of MCS to MPVA. The indirect cytotoxicity assessments demonstrated the photocrosslinked hydrogels was compatible to mouse fibroblasts (L929 cells), indicating their potential as tissue engineering scaffolds.

Ultraviolet (UV) shielding, superhydrophobic and antimicrobial cotton fabrics were fabricated using functional coatings combined with advantages of polyvinylsilsesquioxane and ZnO nanoparticles by solution immersion. The influence of composite coatings on surface morphology, water-repellence, UV shielding property, mechanical property, thermal degradation behavior and antibacterial property of the cotton fabrics was investigated respectively. It is evidently found that the cotton fabrics functionalized by composite coatings exhibited excellent UV shielding, durable superhydrophobic and antimicrobial properties as compared to the reference materials. Most notably, the mechanical properties of cotton fabrics was significantly improved by surface treatment of the composite coatings without compromising their thermal stability as compared to the pristine cotton fabric. This strategy for fabricating UV shielding and superhydrophobic cotton fabrics will guide for developing advanced functional textile in the future work, which will likely be found in many applications such as advanced protective textiles, oil/water separation, water-proof, antibacterial and self-cleaning fields.
RESUMO
Hydrogels composed of natural materials exhibit great application potential in artificial scaffolds for cartilage repair as they can resemble the extracellular matrices of cartilage tissues comprised of various glycosaminoglycan and collagen. Herein, the natural polymers with vinyl groups, i.e. maleilated chitosan (MCS) and methacrylated silk fibroin (MSF) micro/nanoparticles, were firstly synthesized. The chemical structures of MCS and MSF micro/nanoparticles were investigated using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Then MCS/MSF micro/nanocomposite hydrogels were prepared by the photocrosslinking of MCS and MSF micro/nanoparticles in aqueous solutions in the presence of the photoinitiator Darocur 2959 under UV light irradiation. A series of properties of the MCS/MSF micro/nanocomposite hydrogels including rheological property, equilibrium swelling, sol content, compressive modulus, and morphology were examined. The results showed that these behaviors could be tunable via the control of MSF content. When the MSF content was 0.1%, the hydrogel had the compressive modulus of 0.32±0.07MPa, which was in the range of that of articular cartilage. The in vitro cytotoxic evaluation and cell culture of the micro/nanocomposite hydrogels in combination with mouse articular chondrocytes were also investigated. The results demonstrated that the micro/nanocomposite hydrogels with TGF-ß1 was biocompatible to mouse articular chondrocytes and could support cells attachment well, indicating their potential as tissue engineering scaffolds for cartilage repair.

A systematic study has been carried out to develop a material with significant protection properties from galactic cosmic radiation and solar energetic particles. The research focused on the development of hydrogen-rich benzoxazines, which are particularly effective for shielding against such radiation. Newly developed benzoxazine resin can be polymerized at 120 °C, which meets the low-temperature processing requirements for use with ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fiber, a hydrogen-rich composite reinforcement. This highly reactive benzoxazine resin also exhibits low viscosity and good shelf-life. The structure of the benzoxazine monomer is confirmed by proton nuclear magnetic resonance and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Polymerization behavior and thermal properties are evaluated by differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis. Dynamic mechanical analysis is used to study chemorheological properties of the benzoxazine monomer, rheological properties of the cross-linked polybenzoxazine, and rheological properties of UHMWPE-reinforced polybenzoxazine composites. The theoretical radiation shielding capability of the composite is also evaluated using computer-based simulations.
RESUMO
This study investigated the efficiency of nanoscale zero-valent iron combined with persulfate (NZVI/PS) for enhanced degradation of brilliant red X-3B in an upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor, and examined the effects of NZVI/PS on anaerobic microbial communities during the treatment process. The addition of NZVI (0.5 g/L) greatly enhanced the decolourization rate of X-3B from 63.8% to 98.4%. The Biolog EcoPlateTM technique was utilized to examine microbial metabolism in the reactor, and the Illumina MiSeq high-throughput sequencing revealed 22 phyla and 88 genera of the bacteria. The largest genera (Lactococcus) decreased from 33.03% to 7.94%, while the Akkermansia genera increased from 1.69% to 20.23% according to the abundance in the presence of 0.2 g/L NZVI during the biological treatment process. Meanwhile, three strains were isolated from the sludge in the UASB reactors and identified by 16 S rRNA analysis. The distribution of three strains was consistent with the results from the Illumina MiSeq high throughput sequencing. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results indicated that Fe(0) was transformed into Fe(II)/Fe(III) during the treatment process, which are beneficial for the microorganism growth, and thus promoting their metabolic processes and microbial community.

To improve water stability of hydrophilic nanofibers, photocrosslinked maleilated chitosan/methacrylated poly (vinyl alcohol) (MCS/MPVA) bicomponent nanofibrous scaffolds were successfully obtained by electrospinning of aqueous MCS/MPVA solution and consequent photopolymerization. The parameters of MCS/MPVA solutions such as viscosity and conductivity were measured to evaluate electrospinnability of the blend solutions. The bicomponent nanofibrous scaffolds were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), respectively. SEM results indicated that MCS/MPVA weight ratios significantly influenced the morphology and diameter distribution of the nanofibers. XRD and DSC investigated that there was strong interaction caused by hydrogen bonding between molecular chain of MCS and MPVA. Water stability test confirmed that the photocrosslinked matrix with a MCS/MPVA ratio of 10/90 retained excellent integrity of the fibrous structure in water. The in vitro cytotoxicity evaluation revealed that photocrosslinked nanofibrous scaffolds entailed good cellular compatibility, and could be used as potential wound dressing.
