Preparation of the Temperature-Responsive Superhydrophobic Paper with High Stability.

ABSTRACT: In this paper, a method for preparing a high-stability superhydrophobic paper with temperature-induced wettability transition is proposed. First, a temperature-responsive superhydrophobic triblock polymer PHFMA-PTSPM-PNIPAAm was prepared by one-step polymerization of TSPM, HFMA, and NIPAAm in a mass ratio of 0.3:0.3:0.3, then a superhydrophobic paper with a good temperature response was successfully prepared by grafting amino-modified SiO₂ with the polymer to modify the surface of the paper. A further study found that when the mass ratio of amino-modified SiO₂ to polymer is 0.2, the coating has good superhydrophobicity and transparency. What is more, the prepared modified paper is in a superhydrophobic state when the temperature is higher than 32 °C, and is in a superhydrophilic state when it is lower than 32 °C, which can realize free conversion between superhydrophobic and superhydrophilic states. In addition, the superhydrophobic paper prepared by this method not only has high oil-water separation efficiency, and the superhydrophobic coating shows good stability and transparency, but also has low requirements of environmental conditions for preparation, relatively simple preparation process, and strong repeatability, and it has a very broad application prospect.

Preparation and Characterization of Degradable Cellulose-Based Paper with Superhydrophobic, Antibacterial, and Barrier Properties for Food Packaging.

Project description:A great paradigm for foremost food packaging is to use renewable and biodegradable lignocellulose-based materials instead of plastic. Novel packages were successfully prepared from the cellulose paper by coating a mixture of polylactic acid (PLA) with cinnamaldehyde (CIN) as a barrier screen and nano silica-modified stearic acid (SA/SiO2) as a superhydrophobic layer. As comprehensively investigated by various tests, results showed that the as-prepared packages possessed excellent thermal stability attributed to inorganic SiO2 incorporation. The excellent film-forming characteristics of PLA improved the tensile strength of the manufactured papers (104.3 MPa) as compared to the original cellulose papers (70.50 MPa), enhanced by 47.94%. Benefiting from the rough nanostructure which was surface-modified by low surface energy SA, the contact angle of the composite papers attained 156.3°, owning superhydrophobic performance for various liquids. Moreover, the composite papers showed excellent gas, moisture, and oil bacteria barrier property as a result of the reinforcement by the functional coatings. The Cobb300s and WVP of the composite papers were reduced by 100% and 88.56%, respectively, and their antibacterial efficiency was about 100%. As the novel composite papers have remarkable thermal stability, tensile strength, and barrier property, they can be exploited as a potential candidate for eco-friendly, renewable, and biodegradable cellulose paper-based composites for the substitute of petroleum-derived packages.

Superhydrophobic Paper from Nanostructured Fluorinated Cellulose Esters.

Project description:The development of economically and ecologically viable strategies for superhydrophobization offers a vast variety of interesting applications in self-cleaning surfaces. Examples include packaging materials, textiles, outdoor clothing, and microfluidic devices. In this work, we produced superhydrophobic paper by spin-coating a dispersion of nanostructured fluorinated cellulose esters. Modification of cellulose nanocrystals was accomplished using 2 H,2 H,3 H,3 H-perfluorononanoyl chloride and 2 H,2 H,3 H,3 H-perfluoroundecanoyl chloride, which are well-known for their ability to reduce surface energy. A stable dispersion of nanospherical fluorinated cellulose ester was obtained by using the nanoprecipitation technique. The hydrophobized fluorinated cellulose esters were characterized by both solid- and liquid-state nuclear magnetic resonance, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and contact angle measurements. Further, we investigated the size, shape, and structure morphology of nanostructured fluorinated cellulose esters by dynamic light scattering, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction measurements.

Printable and Versatile Superhydrophobic Paper via Scalable Nonsolvent Armor Strategy.

Project description:Despite great scientific and industrial interest in waterproof cellulosic paper, its real world application is hindered by complicated and costly fabrication processes, limitations in scale-up production, and use of organic solvents. Furthermore, simultaneously achieving nonwetting properties and printability on paper surfaces still remains a technical and chemical challenge. Herein, we demonstrate a nonsolvent strategy for scalable and fast fabrication of waterproofing paper through in situ surface engineering with polysilsesquioxane nanorods (PSNRs). Excellent superhydrophobicity is attained on the functionalized paper surface with a water contact angle greater than 160°. Notably, the engineered paper features outstanding printability and writability, as well as greatly enhanced strength and integrity upon prolonged exposure to water (tensile strength ≈ 9.0 MPa). Additionally, the PSNRs concurrently armor paper-based printed items and artwork with waterproofing, self-cleaning, and antimicrobial functionalities without compromising their appearance, readability, and mechanical properties. We also demonstrate that the engineered paper holds the additional advantages of easy processing, low cost, and mechanochemical robustness, which makes it particularly promising for real world applications.

Preparation and Characterization of Temperature/pH Dual-Responsive Gel Spheres for Immobilizing Nitro Bacteria.

Project description:The temperature/pH dual-responsive gel spheres were prepared by orthogonal experiments and response surface methodology, and finally, the optimal synthesis conditions were obtained by a composite score, including swelling, mechanical properties, mass transfer properties, and so forth. The results showed that a sodium alginate concentration of 3% (w/v), CaCl2 concentration of 2% (w/v), gelling time of 40 h, drop height of 14 cm, NaCl concentration of 0.6% (w/v), N-isopropylacrylamide concentration of 0.03% (w/v), and acrylic acid concentration of 4.06% (w/v) were optimal synthesis conditions. The environmental change tolerance experiments showed that the nitrogen removal of the dual-response nitrifying gel spheres was better than the domesticated sludge at low temperatures (4 °C) and in alkaline (pH 9 and 10) conditions. The as-obtained gel spheres can respond intelligently to the changes in ambient temperature and pH. It is hoped that this study will provide technical parameters for the development and application of microbial immobilization carriers.

Heat-Responsive miRNAs Participate in the Regulation of Male Fertility Stability in Soybean CMS-Based F1 under High Temperature Stress.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs), a class of noncoding small RNAs (sRNAs), are widely involved in the response to high temperature (HT) stress at both the seedling and flowering stages. To dissect the roles of miRNAs in regulating male fertility in soybean cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS)-based F1 under HT, sRNA sequencing was performed using flower buds from HT-tolerant and HT-sensitive CMS-based F1 combinations (NF1 and YF1, respectively). A total of 554 known miRNAs, 59 new members of known miRNAs, 712 novel miRNAs, and 1145 target genes of 580 differentially expressed miRNAs (DEMs) were identified under normal temperature and HT conditions. Further integrated analysis of sRNA and transcriptome sequencing found that 21 DEMs and 15 differentially expressed target genes, such as gma-miR397a/Laccase 2, gma-miR399a/Inorganic phosphate transporter 1-4, and gma-miR4413a/PPR proteins, mitochondrial-like, were negatively regulated under HT stress. Furthermore, all members of the gma-miR156 family were suppressed by HT stress in both NF1 and YF1, but were highly expressed in YF1 under HT condition. The negative correlation between gma-miR156b and its target gene squamosa promoter-binding protein-like 2b was confirmed by expression analysis, and overexpression of gma-miR156b in Arabidopsis led to male sterility under HT stress. With these results, we proposed that miRNAs play an important role in the regulation of male fertility stability in soybean CMS-based F1 under HT stress.

Nano-Silver Ink of High Conductivity and Low Sintering Temperature for Paper Electronics.

Project description:Highly conductive ink with low sintering temperature is important for printed electronics on paper substrate. Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) of different average radii ranging from 48 to 176 nm were synthesized by adjusting the Ag+ concentration in the reaction process. The electric resistivity of the Ag NP-based ink film in relation to Ag NP size, sintering temperature, amount of PVP capping agent on Ag NP surface, and morphology evolution of the film during heating process was investigated. It was found that the resistivity of the films reduced very rapidly with increasing particle size due above all to reduced amount of protective agent capping on the Ag NPs. A semi-empirical relationship between the resistivity and the particle size was proposed. With the help of this mathematical expression, one gains both systematic and detailed insight to the resistivity evaluation with regard to the Ag particle size. The optimal electric resistivity of 4.6 μΩ cm was achieved at 140 °C for 10 min which was very close to the resistivity value of bulk Ag (1.58 μΩ cm). Mechanical flexibility of the printed electronics with the Ag NP-based ink on paper substrates was investigated. The prints on the art coated paper exhibited better flexibility compared to that on the photopaper. This might be attributed to the surface coating composition, surface morphology of the paper, and their corresponding ink absorption property.

Fabrication of Eco-Friendly Hydrolyzed Ethylene-Maleic Anhydride Copolymer-Avermectin Nanoemulsion with High Stability, Adhesion Property, pH, and Temperature-Responsive Releasing Behaviors.

Project description:In this study, novel amphiphilic polymer emulsifiers for avermectin (Avm) were synthesized facilely via the hydrolysis of ethylene-maleic anhydride copolymer (EMA) with different agents, and their structures were confirmed by various techniques. Then, water-based Avm-nanoemulsions were fabricated with the emulsifiers via phase inversion emulsification process, and superior emulsifier was selected via the emulsification effects. Using the superior emulsifier, an optimal Avm-nanoemulsion (defined as Avm@HEMA) with satisfying particle size of 156.8 ± 4.9 nm, encapsulation efficiency (EE) of 69.72 ± 4.01% and drug loading capacity (DLC) of 54.93 ± 1.12% was constructed based on response surface methodology (RSM). Owing to the emulsifier, the Avm@HEMA showed a series of advantages, including high stability, ultraviolet resistance, low surface tension, good spreading and high affinity to different leaves. Additionally, compared to pure Avm and Avm-emulsifiable concentrate (Avm-EC), Avm@HEMA displayed a controlled releasing feature. The encapsulated Avm was released quite slowly at normal conditions (pH 7.0, 25 °C or 15 °C) but could be released at an accelerated rate in weak acid (pH 5.5) or weak alkali (pH 8.5) media or at high temperature (40 °C). The drug releasing profiles of Avm@HEMA fit the Korsmeyer-Peppas model quite well at pH 7.0 and 25 °C (controlled by Fickian diffusion) and at pH 7.0 and 10 °C (controlled by non-Fickian diffusion), while it fits the logistic model under other conditions (pH 5.5 and 25 °C, pH 8.5 and 25 °C, pH 7.0 and 40 °C).

Identification of high temperature and daylength responsive genes in barley

Project description:High temperature influences plant development and can reduce crop yields. We used the Agilent Barley Gene Expression Microarray to identify high temperature responsive genes in cereals. In temperate cereals, such as wheat and barley, high temperature results in rapid progression through reproductive development in long-days but inhibits early stages of reproductive development in short-days. We examined the transcriptome of barley plants grown at two different temperatures, 15°C or 25°C, in either long or short-days. Under these conditions early reproductive development was accelerated by high temperature in long-days but inhibited by high temperature in short-days. To control for the effect of temperature on vegetative growth, plants were sampled at the same stage of vegetative development (leaf emergence) in all treatments. Transcriptome analysis identified genes that show changed transcript levels in response to daylength (long versus short-days), genes that show changed transcript levels in response to temperature (15°C versus 25°C), and small groups of genes that show changed transcript levels only in response to specific combinations of daylength and temperature. For example, genes that are upregulated only under long-days and high temperature: conditions in which early reproductive development proceeds rapidly. The temperature responsive genes identified here offer potential candidates for developmental regulators controlling the developmental response of cereal crops to high temperatures.

Preparation of wood-like structured copper with superhydrophobic properties.

Project description:Here, we report a method to use natural wood lauan as a template to fabricate superhydrophobic biomorphic copper on a carbon substrate (Cu/C). First, a carbon substrate with the microstructure of lauan was obtained by sintering lauan in an oxygen-free environment. A biomorphic Cu/C material was then obtained by immersing this carbon substrate into a Cu(NO3)2 solution and sintering. Finally, the hydrophobicity of the products obtained was investigated. The Cu/C retained the microstructure of the wood well. It exhibited excellent superhydrophobicity after it was modified with fluorine silane. The water contact angle of this modified Cu/C reached 160°.
