Tannic acid coating gauze immobilized with thrombin with ultra-high coagulation activity and antimicrobial property for uncontrollable hemorrhage.

Rapid and safe hemostasis is crucial for the survival of bleeding patients in prehospital care. It is urgent to develop high performance hemostatic material to control the massive hemorrhage in the military field and accidental trauma. In this work, an efficient protein hemostat of thrombin was immobilized onto commercial gauze, which was mediated by self-polymerization and anchoring of tannic acid (TA). Through TA treatment, the efficient immobilization of thrombin was achieved, preserving both the biological activity of thrombin and the physical properties of the dressing, including absorbency, breathability, and mechanical performance. Moreover, in the presence of TA coating and thrombin, Gau@TA/Thr could obviously shortened clotting time and enriched blood components such as plasma proteins, platelets, and red blood cells, thereby exhibiting an enhanced in vitro coagulation effect. In SD rat liver volume defect and artery transection hemorrhage models, Gau@TA/Thr still had outstanding hemostatic performance. Besides, the Gau@TA/Thr gauze had inherent antibacterial property and demonstrated excellent biocompatibility. All results suggested that Gau@TA/Thr would be a potential candidate for treating uncontrollable hemorrhage in prehospital care.

Clinical features and risk factors for mortality in patients with Klebsiella pneumoniae bloodstream infections.

INTRODUCTION: Concern about Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) bloodstream infections (KP-BSIs) is widespread because of their high incidence and lethality. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical features of, and risk factors for mortality caused by KP-BSIs. METHODOLOGY: This was a single-center retrospective observational study performed between 1 January 2019 and 31 December 2021, at a tertiary hospital. All patients with KP-BSIs were enrolled and their clinical data were retrieved from electronic medical records. RESULTS: A total of 145 patients were included (121 in the survival group and 24 in the non-survival group). There was a higher proportion of lower respiratory tract infections in the non-survival group than in the survival group (33.3% vs. 12.4%) (p < 0.05). There was a higher proportion of multi drug resistant (MDR) strains of K. pneumoniae in the non-survival group than in the survival group (41.7% vs. 16.5%) (p < 0.05). Multivariate analysis revealed that sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score > 6.5 (OR, 13.71; 95% CI, 1.05-179.84), admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) (OR, 2.27; 95% CI, 0.26-19.61) and gastrointestinal bleeding (OR, 19.97; 95% CI, 1.11-361.02) were independent risk factors for death in patients with KP-BSIs. CONCLUSIONS: Among all KP-BSIs, a high proportion of K. pneumoniae originated from lower respiratory tract infections, and a high proportion of K. pneumoniae were MDR; however, mortality was not influenced. SOFA score > 6.5, admission to the ICU, and gastrointestinal bleeding were independent risk factors for death in patients with KP-BSI.

Coiled Carbon Nanotube Fibers Sheathed by a Reinforced Liquid Crystal Elastomer for Strong and Programmable Artificial Muscles.

Fibers of liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) as promising artificial muscle show ultralarge and reversible contractile strokes. However, the contractile force is limited by the poor mechanical properties of the LCE fibers. Herein, we report high-strength LCE fibers by introducing a secondary network into the single-network LCE. The double-network LCE (DNLCE) shows considerable improvements in tensile strength (313.9%) and maximum actuation stress (342.8%) compared to pristine LCE. To facilitate the controllability and application, a coiled artificial muscle fiber consisting of DNLCE-coated carbon nanotube (CNT) fiber is prepared. When electrothermally driven, the artificial muscle fiber outputs a high actuation performance and programmable actuation. Furthermore, by knitting the artificial muscle fibers into origami structures, an intelligent gripper and crawling inchworm robot have been demonstrated. These demonstrations provide promising application scenarios for advanced intelligent systems in the future.

Structural characterization and adjuvant activity of a water soluble polysaccharide from Poria cocos.

Adjuvants, as the essential component of vaccines, are crucial in enhancing the magnitude, breadth and durability of immune responses. Unfortunately, commonly used Alum adjuvants predominantly provoke humoral immune response, but fail to evoke cellular immune response, which is crucial for the prevention of various chronic infectious diseases and cancers. Thus, it is necessary to develop effective adjuvants to simultaneously induce humoral and cellular immune response. In this work, we obtained a water soluble polysaccharide isolated and purified from Poria cocos, named as PCP, and explored the possibility of PCP as a vaccine adjuvant. The PCP, with Mw of 20.112 kDa, primarily consisted of →6)-α-D-Galp-(1→, with a small amount of →3)-ß-D-Glcp-(1 â†’ and →4)-ß-D-Glcp-(1→. Our results demonstrated that the PCP promoted the activation of dendritic cells (DCs) and macrophages in vitro. As the adjuvant to ovalbumin, the PCP facilitated the activation of DCs in lymph nodes, and evoked strong antibody response with a combination of Th1 and Th2 immune responses. Moreover, compared to Alum adjuvant, the PCP markedly induced a potent cellular response, especially the cytotoxic T lymphocytes response. Therefore, we confirmed that the PCP has great potential to be an available adjuvant for simultaneously inducing humoral and cellular immune responses.

Quantification of the provenance contribution and sedimentary mixing effect of sediments in the Yellow River Basin, China.

Quantifying the source contributions of sediments in large fluvial systems with active wind erosion problems has crucial implications for understanding morphological evolution and ecological progression in the Earth system. Much effort have been focused on characterizing sediments of the Yellow River, but quantitation of the sediment source proportions at the basin-wide scale is lacking. To this end, the research aims to quantitatively elucidate the potential source contributions of sediments in the Yellow River based on geochemical characteristics and sediment fingerprinting technique, in order to identify sedimentary mixing effect and propose sustainable development strategies. In total, samples of four source groups (n = 107) and target floodplain sediments (n = 61) were collected and tested for elemental composition, grain size, magnetic susceptibility, and quartz grain microtextures. The results indicated that the optimal tracer combination was determined as P, Zn, and Ca. The average contributions of the "Tibetan Plateau", "Sandy deserts-Loess Plateau", "Loess Plateau", and "Loess Plateau-Qinling Mountains" source groups to the target sediments were 23.0 %, 21.5 %, 31.6 %, and 23.9 %, respectively. The accuracy of source apportionments was supported by the goodness of fit (GOF) and virtual mixtures tests. Meanwhile, large amounts of debris from surrounding mountains was transported to the Loess Plateau through fluvial processes and ultimately mixed with aeolian deposits, leading to sedimentary mixing effect. To maintain water balance and minimize erosion risk, the drought-resistant perennial planting and moderate grazing were recommended. The findings are instrumental in promoting soil and water conservation and disclosing fluvial and aeolian interaction on a global scale.

Elevated Serum Copper, Zinc, Selenium, and Lowered α-Klotho Associations: Findings from NHANES 2011-2016 Dataset.

The α-Klotho is crucial for human health and longevity. However, the relationship between trace elements and α-Klotho levels needs further investigation. We aimed to explore the relationship between serum levels of selenium (Se), copper (Cu), and zinc (Zn), and serum α-Klotho levels. We analyzed 2138 samples from the 2011-2016 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, and the weighted linear regression, WQS, and qgcomp models were utilized to evaluate the effects of these elements on serum α-Klotho levels, individually and combined. A negative correlation was observed between serum Cu concentration and serum α-Klotho levels (ß = - 0.128, 95% CI - 0.196, - 0.059), with each increase in Cu concentration grade showing a gradual decrease in serum α-Klotho levels (Ptrend = 0.002). The WQS model exhibited a negative correlation between the combined effect of Se, Cu, and Zn and serum α-Klotho levels (ß = - 0.035, 95%CI - 0.060, - 0.010), consistently in males (ß = - 0.038 (- 0.059, - 0.017)) and in the 40-49 age group (ß = - 0.059, 95% CI - 0.119, - 0.012). The qgcomp model mirrored these findings, showing a negative correlation in the combined effect index of Se, Cu, and Zn with serum α-Klotho levels (ß = - 0.027, 95% CI - 0.047, - 0.006), consistent in females (ß = - 0.032, 95% CI - 0.061, - 0.004) and in individuals with BMI ≥ 25 (ß = - 0.030, 95% CI - 0.054, - 0.006), and in the 40-49 age group (ß = - 0.047, 95% CI - 0.088, - 0.006). Elevated serum Cu levels may be associated with lower serum α-Klotho levels. The combined effect of serum Se, Cu, and Zn shows a negative correlation with serum α-Klotho levels, with Cu contributing the most. Our findings provide significant insights into assessing the role of trace nutrients in maintaining human health.

Correlation between the triglyceride-glucose index and left ventricular global longitudinal strain in patients with chronic heart failure: a cross-sectional study.

BACKGROUND: Left ventricular global longitudinal strain (GLS) holds greater diagnostic and prognostic value than left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in the heart failure (HF) patients. The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index serves as a reliable surrogate for insulin resistance (IR) and is strongly associated with several adverse cardiovascular events. However, there remains a research gap concerning the correlation between the TyG index and GLS among patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). METHOD: 427 CHF patients were included in the final analysis. Patient demographic information, along with laboratory tests such as blood glucose, lipids profiles, and echocardiographic data were collected. The TyG index was calculated as Ln [fasting triglyceride (TG) (mg/dL) × fasting plasma glucose (FPG) (mg/dL)/2]. RESULTS: Among CHF patients, GLS was notably lower in the higher TyG index group compared to the lower TyG index group. Following adjustment for confounding factors, GLS demonstrated gradual decrease with increasing TyG index, regardless of the LVEF level and CHF classification. CONCLUSION: Elevated TyG index may be independently associated with more severe clinical left ventricular dysfunction in patients with CHF.

Fluoride Induces Neurocytotoxicity by Disrupting Lysosomal Iron Metabolism and Membrane Permeability.

The detrimental effects of fluoride on neurotoxicity have been widely recorded, yet the detailed mechanisms underlying these effects remain unclear. This study explores lysosomal iron metabolism in fluoride-related neurotoxicity, with a focus on the Steap3/TRPML1 axis. Utilizing sodium fluoride (NaF)-treated human neuroblastoma (SH-SY5Y) and mouse hippocampal neuron (HT22) cell lines, our research demonstrates that NaF enhances the accumulation of ferrous ions (Fe2+) in these cells, disrupting lysosomal iron metabolism through the Steap3/TRPML1 axis. Notably, NaF exposure upregulated ACSL4 and downregulated GPX4, accompanied by reduced glutathione (GSH) levels and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and increased malondialdehyde (MDA) levels. These changes indicate increased vulnerability to ferroptosis within neuronal cells. The iron chelator deferoxamine (DFO) mitigates this disruption. DFO binds to lysosomal Fe2+ and inhibits the Steap3/TRPML1 axis, restoring normal lysosomal iron metabolism, preventing lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP), and reducing neuronal cell ferroptosis. Our findings suggest that interference in lysosomal iron metabolism may mitigate fluoride-induced neurotoxicity, underscoring the critical role of the Steap3/TRPML1 axis in this pathological process.

Temporal patterns of organ dysfunction in COVID-19 patients hospitalized in the intensive care unit: A group-based multitrajectory modeling analysis.

BACKGROUND: The course of organ dysfunction (OD) in Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients is unknown. Herein, we analyze the temporal patterns of OD in intensive care unit-admitted COVID-19 patients. METHODS: Sequential organ failure assessment scores were evaluated daily within 2 weeks of admission to determine the temporal trajectory of OD using group-based multitrajectory modeling (GBMTM). RESULTS: A total of 392 patients were enrolled with a 28-day mortality rate of 53.6%. GBMTM identified four distinct trajectories. Group 1 (mild OD, n = 64), with a median APACHE II score of 13 (IQR 9-21), had an early resolution of OD and a low mortality rate. Group 2 (moderate OD, n = 140), with a median APACHE II score of 18 (IQR 13-22), had a 28-day mortality rate of 30.0%. Group 3 (severe OD, n = 117), with a median APACHR II score of 20 (IQR 13-27), had a deterioration trend of respiratory dysfunction and a 28-day mortality rate of 69.2%. Group 4 (extremely severe OD, n = 71), with a median APACHE II score of 20 (IQR 17-27), had a significant and sustained OD affecting all organ systems and a 28-day mortality rate of 97.2%. CONCLUSIONS: Four distinct trajectories of OD were identified, and respiratory dysfunction trajectory could predict nonpulmonary OD trajectories and patient prognosis.

Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes-Reprogrammed Macrophages Facilitate Breast Cancer Metastasis via NBR2/TBX1 Axis.

In recent years, carbon nanotubes have emerged as a widely used nanomaterial, but their human exposure has become a significant concern. In our former study, we reported that pulmonary exposure of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) promoted tumor metastasis of breast cancer; macrophages were key effectors of MWCNTs and contributed to the metastasis-promoting procedure in breast cancer, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain to be explored. As a follow-up study, we herein demonstrated that MWCNT exposure in breast cancer cells and macrophage coculture systems promoted metastasis of breast cancer cells both in vitro and in vivo; macrophages were skewed into M2 polarization by MWCNT exposure. LncRNA NBR2 was screened out to be significantly decreased in MWCNTs-stimulated macrophages through RNA-seq; depletion of NBR2 led to the acquisition of M2 phenotypes in macrophages by activating multiple M2-related pathways. Specifically, NBR2 was found to positively regulate the downstream gene TBX1 through H3k27ac activation. TBX1 silence rescued NBR2-induced impairment of M2 polarization in IL-4 & IL-13-stimulated macrophages. Moreover, NBR2 overexpression mitigated the enhancing effects of MWCNT-exposed macrophages on breast cancer metastasis. This study uncovered the molecular mechanisms underlying breast cancer metastasis induced by MWCNT exposure.

Hydrogen Bubbles: Harmonizing Local Hydrogen Transfer for Efficient Plastic Hydro-Depolymerization.

Hydro-depolymerization presents a promising avenue for transforming plastic waste into high-value hydrocarbons, offering significant potential for value-added recycling. However, a major challenge in this method arises from kinetic limitations due to insufficient hydrogen concentration near the active sites, requiring optimal catalytic performance only at higher hydrogen pressures. In this study, we address this hurdle by developing "hydrogen bubble catalysts" featuring Ru nanoparticles within mesoporous SBA-15 channels (Ru/SBA). The distinctive feature of Ru/SBA catalysts lies in their capacity for physical hydrogen storage and chemically reversible hydrogen spillover, ensuring a timely and ample hydrogen supply. Under identical reaction conditions, the catalytic activity of Ru/SBA surpassed that of Ru/SiO2 (no hydrogen storage capacity) by over 4-fold. This substantial enhancement in catalytic performance provides significant opportunities for near atmospheric pressure hydro-depolymerization of plastic waste.

Layered Double Hydroxide Derivatives for Polyolefin Upcycling.

While Ru-catalyzed hydrogenolysis holds significant promise in converting waste polyolefins into value-added alkane fuels, a major constraint is the high cost of noble metal catalysts. In this work, we propose, for the first time, that Co-based catalysts derived from CoAl-layered double hydroxide (LDH) are alternatives for efficient polyolefin hydrogenolysis. Leveraging the chemical flexibility of the LDH platform, we reveal that metallic Co species serve as highly efficient active sites for polyolefin hydrogenolysis. Furthermore, we introduced Ni into the Co framework to tackle the issue of restricted hydrogenation ability associated with contiguous Co-Co sites. In-situ analysis indicates that the integration of Ni induces electron transfer and facilitates hydrogen spillover. This dual effect synergistically enhances the hydrogenation/desorption of olefin intermediates, resulting in a significant reduction in the yield of low-value CH4 from 27.1 to 12.6%. Through leveraging the unique properties of LDH, we have developed efficient and cost-effective catalysts for the sustainable recycling and valorization of waste polyolefin materials.

Grave-to-cradle photothermal upcycling of waste polyesters over spent LiCoO2.

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and plastics are pivotal components of modern society; nevertheless, their escalating production poses formidable challenges to resource sustainability and ecosystem integrity. Here, we showcase the transformation of spent lithium cobalt oxide (LCO) cathodes into photothermal catalysts capable of catalyzing the upcycling of diverse waste polyesters into high-value monomers. The distinctive Li deficiency in spent LCO induces a contraction in the Co-O6 unit cell, boosting the monomer yield exceeding that of pristine LCO by a factor of 10.24. A comprehensive life-cycle assessment underscores the economic viability of utilizing spent LCO as a photothermal catalyst, yielding returns of 129.6 $·kgLCO-1, surpassing traditional battery recycling returns (13-17 $·kgLCO-1). Solar-driven recycling 100,000 tons of PET can reduce 3.459 × 1011 kJ of electric energy and decrease 38,716 tons of greenhouse gas emissions. This work unveils a sustainable solution for the management of spent LIBs and plastics.

A new index to measure the uniformity of remolded loess.

The uniformity of remolded loess is crucial for engineering stability and in laboratory testing, as it affects physical and mechanical properties. It is important to have an index which can accurately and conveniently evaluate the uniformity of remolded loess. This study demonstrated and verified the feasibility of using hydraulic conductivity (K) as an indicator for evaluating the uniformity of remolded loess through laboratory experiments and theoretical analysis. In laboratory research, nine loess samples under different preparation conditions were meticulously prepared in duplicate, which were divided into three sets according to the whole dry density (WDD) of approximately 1.3 g/cm3, 1.4 g/cm3, and 1.5 g/cm3 respectively. For the nine duplicate samples, two procedures were performed for each of the sample. One is the uniformity analysis by cutting the soil column and weighing. The other is the hydraulic conductivity experiment. Results showed that sample uniformity is affected by sample preparation conditions, and there are differences in the uniformity of the same WDD samples. The values of K positively correlate with the degree of sample uniformity. In theoretical analysis, based on Darcy's Law and Kozeny-Carman equation, it is found K is inversely proportional to the variance ( σ 2 ) of the sample dry density. That is, K is positively proportional to the sample uniformity. Since K can be easily determined in the laboratory, the application of this new index in the field of geotechnical engineering makes it very convenient and simple to evaluate the uniformity of remolded loess.

Stable Interfacial Ruthenium Species for Highly Efficient Polyolefin Upcycling.

The present polyolefin hydrogenolysis recycling cases acknowledge that zerovalent Ru exhibits high catalytic activity. A pivotal rationale behind this assertion lies in the propensity of the majority of Ru species to undergo reduction to zerovalent Ru within the hydrogenolysis milieu. Nonetheless, the suitability of zerovalent Ru as an optimal structural configuration for accommodating multiple elementary reactions remains ambiguous. Here, we have constructed stable Ru0-Ruδ+ complex species, even under reaction conditions, through surface ligand engineering of commercially available Ru/C catalysts. Our findings unequivocally demonstrate that surface-ligated Ru species can be stabilized in the form of a Ruδ+ state, which, in turn, engenders a perturbation of the σ bond electron distribution within the polyolefin carbon chain, ultimately boosting the rate-determining step of C-C scission. The optimized catalysts reach a solid conversion rate of 609 g·gRu-1·h-1 for polyethylene. This achievement represents a 4.18-fold enhancement relative to the pristine Ru/C catalyst while concurrently preserving a remarkable 94% selectivity toward valued liquid alkanes. Of utmost significance, this surface ligand engineering can be extended to the gentle mixing of catalysts in ligand solution at room temperature, thus rendering it amenable for swift integration into industrial processes involving polyolefin degradation.

TFEB ameliorates DEHP-induced neurotoxicity by activating GAL3/TRIM16 axis dependent lysophagy and alleviating lysosomal dysfunction.

Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is a commonly used plasticizer with known neurotoxic effects. However, the specific mechanism underlying this neurotoxicity remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the role of lysosomal function and lysophagy in DEHP-induced neurotoxicity, with a particular focus on the regulatory role of Transcription factor EB (TFEB). To achieve this, we utilized in vitro models of DEHP-exposed SH-SY5Y cells and HT22 cells. Our findings revealed that DEHP exposure led to lysosomal damage and dysfunction. Moreover, we observed impaired autophagic degradation, characterized by elevated levels of LC3II and p62. DEHP treatment downregulated the expression of TFEB, GAL3, and TRIM16, while upregulating the expression of PARP. This led to the inhibition of GAL3/TRIM16 axis dependent lysophagy and ultimately excessive apoptosis in neuronal cells. Importantly, TFEB overexpression alleviated lysosomal dysfunction, activated lysophagy, and mitigated DEHP-induced apoptosis. Overall, our results suggest that DEHP induces not only lysosomal dysfunction, but also inhibits lysophagy through the suppression of GAL3/TRIM16 axis. Consequently, impaired clearance of damaged lysosomes occurs, culminating in neuronal apoptosis. Taken together, our findings highlight the critical role of TFEB in regulating lysophagy and lysosomal function. Furthermore, TFEB may serve as a potential therapeutic target for mitigating DEHP-induced neuronal toxicity.

Rutin mitigates fluoride-induced nephrotoxicity by inhibiting ROS-mediated lysosomal membrane permeabilization and the GSDME-HMGB1 axis involved in pyroptosis and inflammation.

Fluoride is known to induce nephrotoxicity; however, the underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Therefore, this study aims to explore the roles and mechanisms of lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP) and the GSDME/HMGB1 axis in fluoride-induced nephrotoxicity and the protective effects of rutin. Rutin, a naturally occurring flavonoid compound known for its antioxidative and anti-inflammatory properties, is primarily mediated by inhibiting oxidative stress and reducing proinflammatory markers. To that end, we established in vivo and in vitro models. In the in vivo study, rats were exposed to sodium fluoride (NaF) throughout pregnancy and up until 2 months after birth. In parallel, we employed in vitro models using HK-2 cells treated with NaF, n-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC), or rutin. We assessed lysosomal permeability through immunofluorescence and analyzed relevant protein expression via western blotting. Our findings showed that NaF exposure increased ROS levels, resulting in enhanced LMP and increased cathepsin B (CTSB) and D (CTSD) expression. Furthermore, the exposure to NaF resulted in the upregulation of cleaved PARP1, cleaved caspase-3, GSDME-N, and HMGB1 expressions, indicating cell death and inflammation-induced renal damage. Rutin mitigates fluoride-induced nephrotoxicity by suppressing ROS-mediated LMP and the GSDME/HMGB1 axis, ultimately preventing fluoride-induced renal toxicity occurrence and development. In conclusion, our findings suggest that NaF induces renal damage through ROS-mediated activation of LMP and the GSDME/HMGB1 axis, leading to pyroptosis and inflammation. Rutin, a natural antioxidative and anti-inflammatory dietary supplement, offers a novel approach to prevent and treat fluoride-induced nephrotoxicity.

Knittable Electrochemical Yarn Muscle for Morphing Textiles.

Morphing textiles, crafted using electrochemical artificial muscle yarns, boast features such as adaptive structural flexibility, programmable control, low operating voltage, and minimal thermal effect. However, the progression of these textiles is still impeded by the challenges in the continuous production of these yarn muscles and the necessity for proper structure designs that bypass operation in extensive electrolyte environments. Herein, a meters-long sheath-core structured carbon nanotube (CNT)/nylon composite yarn muscle is continuously prepared. The nylon core not only reduces the consumption of CNTs but also amplifies the surface area for interaction between the CNT yarn and the electrolyte, leading to an enhanced effective actuation volume. When driven electrochemically, the CNT@nylon yarn muscle demonstrates a maximum contractile stroke of 26.4%, a maximum contractile rate of 15.8% s-1, and a maximum power density of 0.37 W g-1, surpassing pure CNT yarn muscles by 1.59, 1.82, and 5.5 times, respectively. By knitting the electrochemical CNT@nylon artificial muscle yarns into a soft fabric that serves as both a soft scaffold and an electrolyte container, we achieved a morphing textile is achieved. This textile can perform programmable multiple motion modes in air such as contraction and sectional bending.

Preparation and structural characterization of epoxidized soybean oils-based pressure sensitive adhesive grafted with tea polyphenol palmitate.

Vegetable oils-based pressure sensitive adhesives (PSAs) are green and sustainable but face unsatisfactory adhesion strengths and are prone to aging during storage and application due to the existence of residual double bonds and massive ester bonds. Nine common antioxidants (tea polyphenol palmitate (TPP), caffeic acid, ferulic acid, gallic acid, butylated hydroxytoluene, tertiary butylhydroquinone, butylated hydroxyanisole, propyl gallate, and tea polyphenols) were grafted into epoxidized soybean oils-PSA (ESO-PSA) system to enhance antiaging properties and adhesion strengths. Results showed ESO-PSAs grafted with caffeic acid, tertiary butylhydroquinone, butylated hydroxyanisole, propyl gallate, tea polyphenols, or TPP didn't occur failure with TPP having best performance. The optimal conditions were ESO reacted with 0.9 % TPP, 70 % rosin ester, and 7.0 % phosphoric acid at 50 °C for 5 min, under which peel strength and loop tack increased to 2.460 N/cm and 1.66 N, respectively, but peel strength residue reduced to 138.09 %, compared with control (0.407 N/cm, 0.43 N, and 1669.99 %). Differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric results showed TPP grafting increased the glass transition temperature of ESO-PSA slightly but improved its thermal stability significantly. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance results showed TPP, phosphoric acid, and rosin ester all partially participated in the covalently crosslinking polymerization of ESO-PSAs and the rest existed in the network structures in the free form.
