A New Approach to the Determination of Adhesion Properties of Polymer Networks

Summary: A new approach for the determination and comparison of adhesion properties of polymer networks was proposed. One permits to optimize the choice of polymers for composite materials with inorganic fibers (at the absence of binder diffusion to the fiber). For the first time the works of adhesion of polymer to liquids simulating polar or non-polar phases were used for prediction of adhesive properties of network (binder, coupling agent) and for the choice of network provided the best tensile strength of composite material. The correctness of proposed approach was experimentally proved by measuring of tensile strength micro plastics.

Synthesis and Characterization of New Adhesion Promoter for Grafting Conducting Polymer on Oxide Substrate

For grafting polypyrrole layers on oxidic substrates, the synthesis and characterization of a new adhesion promoter 11‐(pyrrol‐3‐yl) undecyl trimethoxysilane (PyTMS) were described in this article. The oxidation potential of PyTMS was determined by cyclic voltammetry. The grafting behavior of such an adhesion promoter on oxidized surface and chemical deposition of polypyrrole over the modified oxidized surface were studied. The adsorbed layer on the oxidized substrates thus formed was determined by both contact angle measurements and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Chemical polymerization of terminal pyrrole moieties on such substrates yielded adhesive polypyrrole films, and SEM image showed that the morphology of the polypyrrole films was influenced by the experimental conditions.

Selective Adhesion and Directional Migration of Endothelial Cells Guided by Cys‐Ala‐Gly Peptide Density Gradient on Antifouling Polymer Brushes

Selective adhesion and directional migration of endothelial cells (ECs) on biomaterials is critical to realize the rapid endothelialization. In this study, a Cys‐Ala‐Gly (CAG) peptide density gradient is generated on homogeneous cell‐resisting poly(2‐hydroxyethyl methacrylate‐co‐glycidyl methacrylate) brushes by immersing the brushes in a complementary gradient solution of CAG and competitive mercapto‐terminated methoxyl poly(ethylene glycol). The adhesion and spreading of smooth muscle cells (SMCs) is impaired effectively on the gradient surface. About six folds of adherent ECs over SMCs are achieved at the position (10 mm) of highest CAG density on the gradient surface in a co‐culture condition. Due to the gradient cues, ECs migrate fastest with the best directionality of 86.7% at the middle of the gradient, leading to the maximum net displacement as well.     

Molecular Dynamics Study of Interface Structure in Composites Comprising Surface‐Modified SiO2 Nanoparticles and a Polyimide Matrix

The method of atomistic molecular dynamics simulations is used to investigate the static properties of the organic–inorganic interface in a polymer nanocomposite consisting of polyimide and silica nanoparticles with modified surface. Alkylsilane chains are used as the surface modifiers. The surface density and chains length of the modifier are the main parameters of the simulations. For simplicity, the model of the composite has been constructed as a polymer layer sandwiched between two solid surfaces. Our results show that one can change the properties of the interface between the polymer matrix and the inorganic filler by choosing the molecular weight and surface density of the modifier.

制备了一种新型的耐酸碱性的水相超疏油铜表面. 在水相中,油滴在其表面上的接触角高达162°,同时极易滚动,表明所得到的表面不但具有水相超疏油特性,同时还表现出较低的黏附性及较强的耐酸碱能力. 在不同pH值（2~12）的水溶液中,这种低黏附超疏油特性依然存在. 研究表明,该表面的水下超疏油及低黏附特性主要源于表面亲水性的化学组成及独特的微纳米等级结构之间的协同作用. 而较强的耐酸碱性则得益于铜材料自身较好的化学稳定性.     

Modelling and Experimental Characterisation of Hygrothermoelastic Stress in Polymer Matrix Composites

Summary : The present paper is concerned with the modelling and the simulation of hygrothermal deformation of composite laminates. The temperature and moisture fields are established by employing the Fick's law for transient and cyclical environmental conditions, then the Classical Plate Theory (CLT) adapted for taking into account such conditions is applied. The hygrothermoelastic law of the composite is supposed to be constant but the diffusion coefficients depend on the temperature. The paper shows the ability of the model to handle complex environmental loading, close to service conditions. Finally, a model of plate with moderate rotations is introduced to predict the nonlinear deformations of unsymmetric plates under temperature and moisture cycling conditions.     

Effect of the Nanoparticle Functionalization on the Cavitation and Crazing Process in the Polymer Nanocomposites

The nanoparticle(NP) functionalization is an effective method for enhancing their compatibility with polymer which can influence the fracture property of the polymer nanocomposites(PNCs). This work aims to further understand the cavitation and crazing process, hoping to uncover the fracture mechanism on the molecular level. By adopting a coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulation, the fracture energy of PNCs first increases and then decreases with increasing the NP functionalization degree α while it shows a continuous increase with increasing the interaction ε_(pA) between polymer and modified beads. The bond orientation degree is first characterized which is referred to as the elongation. Meanwhile, the stress by polymer chains is gradually reduced with increasing the α or the ε_(pA) while that by NPs is enhanced.Furthermore, the percentage of stress by polymer chains first increases and then decreases with increasing the strain while that by NPs shows a contrast trend. Moreover, the number of voids is quantified which first increases and then decreases with increasing the strain which reflects their nucleation and coalescence process. The voids prefer to generate from the polymer-NP interface to the polymer matrix with increasing α o r ε_(pA).As a result, the number of voids first increases and then decreases with increasing α while it continuously declines with the ε_(pA). In summary, our work provides a clear understanding on how the NP functionalization influences the cavitation and crazing process during the fracture process.

Innovative Green Chemistry Approach to Synthesis of Sn2+-Metal Complex and Design of Polymer Composites with Small Optical Band Gaps

In this work, the green method was used to synthesize Sn²⁺-metal complex by polyphenols (PPHs) of black tea (BT). The formation of Sn²⁺-PPHs metal complex was confirmed through UV-Vis and FTIR methods. The FTIR method shows that BT contains NH and OH functional groups, conjugated double bonds, and PPHs which are important to create the Sn²⁺-metal complexes. The synthesized Sn²⁺-PPHs metal complex was used successfully to decrease the optical energy band gap of PVA polymer. XRD method showed that the amorphous phase increased with increasing the metal complexes. The FTIR and XRD analysis show the complex formation between Sn²⁺-PPHs metal complex and PVA polymer. The enhancement in the optical properties of PVA was evidenced via UV-visible spectroscopy method. When Sn²⁺-PPHs metal complex was loaded to PVA, the refractive index and dielectric constant were improved. In addition, the absorption edge was also decreased to lower photon. The optical energy band gap decreases from 6.4 to 1.8 eV for PVAloaded with 30% (v/v) Sn²⁺-PPHs metal complex. The variations of dielectric constant versus wavelength of photon are examined to measure localized charge density (N/m*) and high frequency dielectric constant. By increasing Sn²⁺-PPHs metal complex, the N/m* are improved from 3.65 × 10⁵⁵ to 13.38 × 10⁵⁵ m⁻³ Kg⁻¹. The oscillator dispersion energy (E_d) and average oscillator energy (E_o) are measured. The electronic transition natures in composite films are determined based on the Tauc’s method, whereas close examinations of the dielectric loss parameter are also held to measure the energy band gap.

Glyconectin Cell Adhesion Epitope, β-d-GlcpNAc3S-(1→3)-α-l-Fucp,Is Involved in Blastulation of Lytechinus pictus Sea Urchin Embryos

Glycans, as the most peripheral cell surface components, are the primary candidates to mediate the initial steps of cell recognition and adhesion via glycan–glycan binding. This molecular mechanism was quantitatively demonstrated by biochemical and biophysical measurements at the cellular and molecular level for the glyconectin 1 β-d-GlcpNAc3S-(1→3)-α-l-Fucp glycan structure (GN1). The use of adhesion blocking monoclonal antibody Block 2 that specifically recognize this epitope showed that, besides Porifera, human colon carcinoma also express this structure in the apical glycocalyx. Here we report that Block 2 selectively immune-precipitate a Mr 580 × 10³ (g580) acidic non-glycosaminoglycan glycan from the total protein-free glycans of Lytechinus pictus sea urchin hatched blastula embryos. Immuno-fluorescence confocal light microscopy and immunogold electron microscopy localized the GN1 structure in the apical lamina glycocalyx attachments of ectodermal cells microvilli, and in the Golgi complex. Biochemical and immune-chemical analyses showed that the g580 glycan is carrying about 200 copies of the GN1 epitope. This highly polyvalent g580 glycan is one of the major components of the glycocalyx structure, maximally expressed at hatched blastula and gastrula. The involvement of g580 GN1 epitope in hatched blastula cell adhesion was demonstrated by: (1) enhancement of cell aggregation by g580 and sponge g200 glycans, (2) inhibition of cell reaggregation by Block 2, (3) dissociation of microvilli from the apical lamina matrix by the loss of its gel-like structure resulting in a change of the blastula embryonal form and consequent inhibition of gastrulation at saturating concentration of Block 2, and (4) aggregation of beads coated with the immune-purified g580 protein-free glycan. These results, together with the previous atomic force microscopy measurements of GN1 binding strength, indicated that this highly polyvalent and calcium ion dependent glycan–glycan binding can provide the force of 40 nanonewtons per single ectodermal cell association of microvilli with the apical lamina, and conservation of glycocalyx gel-like structure. This force can hold the weight of 160,000 cells in sea water, thus it is sufficient to establish, maintain and preserve blastula form after hatching, and prior to the complete formation of further stabilizing basal lamina.     

Designing Novel Strategy to Produce Active Nanohybrids in Sunlight for Purification of Water Based on Inorganic Nanolayers,Magnetic Nanocomposites and Organic Species

Energy and water related problems have attracted strong attention from scientists across the world because of deficient energy and water pollution. Following this line, new strategy depended on preparing nanolayers of Al/Zn and magnetic nanoparticles of cobalt iron oxides nanocomposite in addition to long chains of hydrocarbons of stearic acid to be used as roofs, fillers and pillars; respectively, to design optical-active nanohybrids in sunlight for removing the colored pollutants from water in few minutes. By using long chains of hydrocarbons of stearic acid, X-ray diffraction (XRD) results and TEM images showed expansion of the interlayered spacing from 0.76 nm to 2.02 nm and insertion of magnetic nanoparticles among the nanolayers of Al/Zn. The optical properties and activities showed that the nanohybrid structure based on zinc oxide led to clear reduction of the band gap energy from 3.3 eV to 2.75 eV to be effective in sunlight. Photocatalytic degradation of the dye of acid green 1 confirmed the high activity of the prepared zinc oxide nanohybrids because of a complete removal of the dye after ten minutes in sunlight. Finally, this strategy was effective for producing photo-active nanohybrids for using renewable and non-polluting energy for purifying water.
