The Synergistic Effect of Ester-Ether Copolymerization Thixo-Tropic Superplasticizer and Nano-Clay on the Buildability of 3D Printable Cementitious Materials.

ABSTRACT: The shape retention ability of materials deposited layer by layer is called buildability, which is an indispensable performance parameter for successful 3D printable cementitious materials (3DPC). This study investigated the synergistic effect of nano-clay (NC) and thixotropic superplasticizer (TP) on the buildability of 3DPC. The rheological parameters and static yield stress are characterized by the rheology testing, the green strength is measured by a self-made pressure tester, and the fluidity is tested by flow table. Results indicate that NC significantly increases the growth rate of static yield stress and green strength and TP can improve the initial rheological parameters and fluidity, which ensures the initial stiffness and workability of printed materials. The mixture with 7‰ (by mass of cementitious materials) NC and 3‰ TP obtains excellent extrudability and buildability, due to the synergistic effect of NC and TP. Based on the rheology testing and specific printing experiments, a printable window with 1.0 Pa/s~2.0 Pa/s of the rate of static yield stress evolution over time (RST) or 170 mm~200 mm of fluidity is established. This work provides theorical support for the control and evaluation of rheological properties in 3DPC.

Poly(carboxylate ether)-based superplasticizer achieves workability retention in calcium aluminate cement.

Project description:Calcium aluminate cement (CAC) suffers from loss of workability in less than an hour (~15?minutes) after first touch of water. Current superplasticizers that are utilized to modify the viscosity of cement admixtures are designed to target ordinary Portland cement (OPC). The high affinity between these superplasticizers and cement particles were found to be detrimental in CAC systems. Utilization of a monomer that, instead, facilitates gradual adsorption of a superplasticizer provides workability retention. For the first time in literature, we report a superplasticizer that caters to the properties of CAC such as high rate of surface development and surface charge. While neat CAC was almost unworkable after 1?hour, with the addition of only 0.4% of the optimized superplasticizer, 90% fluidity retention was achieved.

Investigating the effects of superplasticizer and recycled plastics on the compressive strength of cementitious composites using neural networks.

Project description:The potential application of neural network (NN) models to estimate the compressive strength (CS) of cementitious composites under a variety of experimental settings and cement mixes was investigated. The data were extensively collected from previous literature, and the bootstrap resampling tests were applied to estimate the statistics of the parameter correlations. We find that the NN model that involves the coarse and fine natural aggregates (CA and FA), superplasticizer (SP) and recycled plastics (RP) as the features can accurately predict the CS (R2 ∼ 0.9), without the need to specify the type of SP and the structure of RP in advance. The developed NN model holds promise for revealing the global dependency of CS on these parameters. It suggested that increasing 100 kg/m3 of CA could increase CS by ∼4 MPa, but the usage of CA more than 700 kg/m3 could negatively affect CS. How the CS varying with FA is apparently nonlinear. Within the optimum limit, adding 1 kg/m3 of SP could enhance the CS by ∼2 MPa. Contrarily, additional 1 kg/m3 of RP results in a decrease of ∼0.2 MPa of CS. The mixture-type independent models developed here would broaden our understanding of the global influential-sensitivity among these variables and help save cost and time in the industrial applications.

Synergistic interaction of renewable nipagin and eugenol for aromatic copoly(ether ester) materials with desired performance.

Project description:Naturally occurring nipagin and eugenol were used as the collaborative starting materials for poly(ether ester) polymers. In this study, two series of nipagin and eugenol-derived copoly(ether ester)s, PHN11-xE1x and PHN11-xE2x (x = 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%), were prepared with renewable 1,6-hexanediol as a comonomer. The nipagin-derived component acts as the renewable surrogate of petroleum-based dimethyl terephthalate (DMT), while the eugenol-derived component acts as the cooperative property modifier of parent homopoly(ether ester) PHN1. 1,6-Hexanediol was chosen as the spacer because of its renewability, high boiling point, and short chain to enhance the glass transition temperatures (Tgs) of materials. The molecular weights and chemical structures were confirmed by gel permeation chromatograph (GPC), NMR and FTIR spectroscopies. Thermal and crystalline properties were studied by thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetric (DSC) and wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WXRD). The tensile assays were conducted to evaluate the mechanical properties. The results suggested that properties of this kind of poly(ether ester)s could be finely tuned by the relative content of two components for the desired applications (elastomer, rubbery) suitable for different scenarios from polyethylene glycol terephthalate (PET) and polybutylene terephthalate (PBT).

3D-printable zwitterionic nano-composite hydrogel system for biomedical applications.

Project description:Herein, the cytotoxicity of a novel zwitterionic sulfobetaine hydrogel system with a nano-clay crosslinker has been investigated. We demonstrate that careful selection of the composition of the system (monomer to Laponite content) allows the material to be formed into controlled shapes using an extrusion based additive manufacturing technique with the ability to tune the mechanical properties of the product. Moreover, the printed structures can support their own weight without requiring curing during printing which enables the use of a printing-then-curing approach. Cell culture experiments were conducted to evaluate the neural cytotoxicity of the developed hydrogel system. Cytotoxicity evaluations were conducted on three different conditions; a control condition, an indirect condition (where the culture medium used had been in contact with the hydrogel to investigate leaching) and a direct condition (cells growing directly on the hydrogel). The result showed no significant difference in cell viability between the different conditions and cells were also found to be growing on the hydrogel surface with extended neurites present.

Interaction of salt with ether- and ester-linked phospholipid bilayers.

Project description:A distinguishing feature of Archaeal plasma membranes is that their phospholipids contain ether-links, as opposed to bacterial and eukaryotic plasma membranes where phospholipids primarily contain ester-links. Experiments show that this chemical difference in headgroup-tail linkage does produce distinct differences in model bilayer properties. Here we examine the effects of salt on bilayer structure in the case of an ether-linked lipid bilayer. We use molecular dynamics simulations and compare equilibrium properties of two model lipid bilayers in NaCl salt solution - POPC and its ether-linked analog that we refer to as HOPC. We make the following key observations. The headgroup region of HOPC "adsorbs" fewer ions compared to the headgroup region of POPC. Consistent with this, we note that the Debye screening length in the HOPC system is ∼ 10% shorter than that in the POPC system. Herein, we introduce a protocol to identify the lipid-water interfacial boundary that reproduces the bulk salt distribution consistent with Gouy-Chapman theory. We also note that the HOPC bilayer has excess solvent in the headgroup region when compared to POPC, coinciding with a trough in the electrostatic potential. Waters in this region have longer autocorrelation times and smaller lateral diffusion rates compared to the corresponding region in the POPC bilayer, suggesting that the waters in HOPC are more strongly coordinated to the lipid headgroups. Furthermore, we note that it is this region of tightly coordinated waters in the HOPC system that has a lower density of Na+ ions. Based on these observations we conclude that an ether-linked lipid bilayer has a lower binding affinity for Na+ compared to an ester-linked lipid bilayer.

Eco-Friendly Ether and Ester-Urethane Prepolymer: Structure, Processing and Properties.

Project description:This study concerns bio-based urethane prepolymers. The relationship between the chemical structure and the thermal and processing parameters of bio-based isocyanate-terminated ether and ester-urethane prepolymers was investigated. Bio-based prepolymers were obtained with the use of bio-monomers such as bio-based diisocyanate, bio-based polyether polyol or polyester polyols. In addition to their composition, the bio-based prepolymers were different in the content of iso-cyanate groups content (ca. 6 and 8%). The process of pre-polymerization and the obtained bio-based prepolymers were analyzed by determining the content of unreacted NCO groups, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, proton nuclear magnetic resonance, thermogravimetry, and rheological measurements. The research conducted facilitated the evaluation of the properties and processability of urethane prepolymers based on natural components. The results indicate that a significant impact on the processability has the origin the polyol ingredient as well as the NCO content. The thermal stability of all of the prepolymers is similar. A prepolymer based on a poly-ether polyol is characterized by a lower viscosity at a lower temperature than the prepolymer based on a polyester polyol. The viscosity value depends on the NCO content.

Alleviating the Mechanical and Thermal Degradations of Highly Sulfonated Poly(Ether Ether Ketone) Blocks via Copolymerization with Hydrophobic Unit for Intermediate Humidity Fuel Cells.

Project description:In this contribution, sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) is inter-connected using a hydrophobic oligomer via poly-condensation reaction to produce SPEEK analogues as PEMs. Prior sulfonation is performed for SPEEK to avoid random sulfonation of multi-block copolymers that may destroy the mechanical toughness of polymer backbone. A greater local density of ionic moieties exist in SPEEK and good thermomechanical properties of hydrophobic unit offer an unique approach to promote the proton conductivity as well as thermomechanical stability of membrane, as verify from AC impedance and TGA. The morphological behavior and phase variation of membranes are explored using FE-SEM and AFM; the triblock (XYX) membranes exhibits a nano-phase separated morphology. Performance of PEFC integrated with blend and block copolymer membranes is determined at 60 °C under 60% RH. As a result, the triblock (XYX) membrane has a high power density than blend (2X1Y) membrane.

Ethylene Polymerization and Copolymerization with Polar Monomers Using Nickel Complexes Bearing Anilinobenzoic Acid Methyl Ester Ligand.

Project description:Neutral nickel complexes containing an anilinobenzoic acid methyl ester ligand are prepared and applied for the ethylene polymerization and copolymerization with polar monomers. The complex C2 containing isopropyl substituent on the aniline ligand conducts ethylene polymerization with high activity and good thermal stability. Most importantly, the catalyst promotes the copolymerization of ethylene and polar monomers with high activity (up to 277 kg·mol-1·h-1), affording ester-functionalized semicrystalline polyethylene with reasonable polar monomer content (up to 3.20 mol %).

Degradable PE-Based Copolymer with Controlled Ester Structure Incorporation by Cobalt-Mediated Radical Copolymerization under Mild Condition.

Project description:Polyethylene (PE) is one of the most widely used materials in the world, but it is virtually undegradable and quickly accumulates in nature, which may contaminate the environment. We utilized the cobalt-mediated radical copolymerization (CMRP) of ethylene and cyclic ketene acetals (CKAs) to effectively incorporate ester groups into PE backbone as cleavable structures to make PE-based copolymer degradable under mild conditions. The content of ethylene and ester units in the produced copolymer could be finely regulated by CKA concentration or ethylene pressure. Also, the copolymerization of ethylene and CKA with other functional vinyl monomers can produce functional and degradable PE-based copolymer. All the formed PE-based copolymers could degrade in the presence of trimethylamine (Et3N).

Molecular Antioxidants Maintain Synergistic Radical Scavenging Activity upon Co-Immobilization on Clay Nanoplatelets.

Project description:Unbalanced levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) result in oxidative stress, affecting both biomedical and industrial processes. Antioxidants can prevent ROS overproduction and thus delay or inhibit their harmful effects. Herein, activities of two molecular antioxidants (gallic acid (GA), a well-known phenolic compound, and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH), a vital biological cofactor) were tested individually and in combination to assess possible synergistic, additive, or antagonistic effects in free radical scavenging and in redox capacity assays. GA was a remarkable radical scavenger, and NADH exhibited moderate antioxidant activity, while their combination at different molar ratios led to a synergistic effect since the resulting activity was superior to the sum of the individual GA and NADH activities. Their coimmobilization was performed on the surface of delaminated layered double hydroxide clay nanoplatelets by electrostatic interactions, and the synergistic effect was maintained upon such a heterogenization of these molecular antioxidants. The coimmobilization of GA and NADH expands the range of their potential applications, in which separation of antioxidant additives is important during treatments or manufacturing processes.
