Advances in Polymer Technology

In this study, polyacrylonitrile hollow fiber (PAN HF) membranes were designed and fabricated with desired morphology and permeability for low pressure-driven applications via the dry-wet phase-inversion spinning process. The effects of multiple design and fabrication parameters on permeation, morphology, thickness, and pore size of membranes were investigated using various techniques. Moreover, the effects of water as the nonsolvent additive, chemical composition of the bore solution, dope solution flow rate, air gap, coagulation bath temperature, and tensile ratio (take-up speed) were investigated. The addition of 3% wt. water as the nonsolvent additive into the dope solution resulted in a seventeen-times increment in the water flux up to 495 L m-2 h-1 bar-1. It showed a significant improvement in membrane porosity compared with those prepared without water nonsolvent additive. Utilization of 90% wt. of the solvent in water solution as the bore solution instead of pure water showed the most significant effect on the water flux and membrane structure among the fabrication parameters. It resulted in a reduction in threshold permeation pressure by more than ten times. The results revealed that whichever variation, including increased dope solution flow rate or coagulation bath temperature, or reduced air gap or traction, leads to promotion of membrane water flux. Still, different effects on the structure and morphology of the membranes were observed. Based on the outcomes of this study and according to the SEM images, one can conclude that outer surface pore size reduction from about 300 nm resulted in decreased water flux from 448 to 226 L m-2 h-1 bar-1, so that no pores were observed in the outer surface until 50 K magnification of the SEM image. The findings in this study provide instructive guidelines for the design and fabrication of high-performance hydrophilic PAN-based hollow fiber membranes with the desired morphology and water flux. Best ranges of investigated parameters for relatively high permeate water flux and desired membrane morphology were reported.

Investigating the Effects of Nonsolvent Additive and Spinning Conditions on Morphology and Permeation of PAN Hollow Fiber Membranes

研究非溶剂添加剂和纺丝条件对聚丙烯腈中空纤维膜形态和渗透性能的影响

The quest for efficient and sustainable energy storage solutions has prompted exploration into advanced materials that meet stringent mechanical and thermal requirements. This study investigates graphene‐reinforced thermoplastic polymers specifically polyether ether ketone (PEEK), polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG), and polylactic acid (PLA) fabricated through additive manufacturing techniques. Traditional materials often suffer from limitations in structural integrity, flexibility, and thermal stability, presenting challenges for their application in energy storage. This research aims to evaluate the mechanical properties of these graphene‐reinforced polymers to assess their suitability for energy storage components. Using additive manufacturing, test samples were fabricated, and mechanical testing was conducted to evaluate tensile, flexural, and compression strengths. The results indicate that graphene‐reinforced PEEK (G‐PEEK) exhibits superior mechanical performance, with an ultimate tensile strength of 120 MPa, Young’s modulus of 1700 MPa, ultimate flexural strength of 160 MPa, and ultimate compression strength of 200 MPa, making it an ideal candidate for applications requiring high structural integrity. Graphene‐reinforced PETG (G‐PETG) offers a balance of strength and flexibility, with an ultimate tensile strength of 55 MPa, while graphene‐reinforced PLA (G‐PLA) serves as a cost‐effective option, despite lower mechanical properties (ultimate tensile strength of 45 MPa).

Polyolefins such as high‐density polyethylene (HDPE), low‐density polyethylene (LDPE), and polypropylene (PP) are among the most widely used packaging materials in the cosmetic industry. Since these materials are in direct contact with cosmetic products, various components of the products are adsorbed to the packaging material’s surface and migrate within the amorphous regions of the polyolefin. This migration process, which occurs in both virgin and post‐consumer recyclate (PCR) materials, can lead to deformation of the packaging. In this study, different types of virgin and PCR pellets were examined to investigate their interaction with cosmetic products and to understand the factors influencing the migration process. The migration of cosmetic oils was observed in all pellet samples, depending on the composition of the product and environmental conditions. The process was characterized by the weight gain of the plastic pellets and further identified through nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and infrared (IR) spectroscopy. Additionally, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and gel permeation chromatography (GPC) measurements were performed to analyze the polymer structure. Components with lower molecular weight (MW), high nonpolarity, and elevated temperatures were found to accelerate the migration process. Moreover, migration occurred more slowly from oil‐in‐water emulsions with larger droplet sizes compared to water‐in‐oil systems with smaller droplets. Among the different polyolefins, PP demonstrated a higher uptake of migrating components but at a slower migration rate compared to HDPE and LDPE. When comparing virgin and recycled polyolefins, it was observed that migration was consistently slower in virgin materials than in recycled ones. The ability of oils to migrate is influenced by the molecular structure of the polymers: high density, crystallinity, and low levels of branching reduce both the migration speed (MS) and the maximum saturation, as seen in virgin HDPE. In contrast, materials like LDPE, with a less dense polymer structure, exhibited higher MSs and saturation limits. As a control, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) was used, and it showed no migration due to the polymer’s high density.

Migration of Cosmetic Components Into Polyolefins

化妆品成分向聚烯烃的迁移

This work presents an investigation on the quality of parts manufactured using fused deposition modeling (FDM), which is influenced by a large number of different elements. Some of which are based on the materials used in the production of the part, though others are rather pertinent to the process parameters. The manufacturing process and filament formulation has also a significant impact on the cost of the final product, as well as its physical, mechanical, and thermal properties. As the result, judicious combination of parameters can effectively act toward fine‐tuning FDM toward three‐dimensional printing (3DP) of pieces with quality fit‐for‐application. In this sense, the use of design of experiments (DOEs) is often needed for the purpose. Printing process parameters, including layer height, wall thickness, temperature, printing velocity, and tool path, have been discussed, in the understanding that 3DP time increases with decreasing layer thickness, and in turn increases production time and overall cost. A specific account is given on recent developments increasingly and more thoroughly focused on recognizing the impact of the process parameters and raw materials on the final product.

Effect of Process Parameters and Material Selection on the Quality of 3D Printed Products by Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM): A Review

工艺参数和材料选择对熔融沉积成型（FDM）3D打印产品质量的影响：综述

This review investigates the recent advancements aimed at optimizing the mechanical performance of three‐dimensional (3D)‐printed polymer matrix composites (PMCs), motivated by the need to overcome the inherent limitations of additive manufacturing (AM) in achieving desired mechanical properties. The study focuses on two primary areas: (1) microstructural refinements through strategic control of parameters such as reinforcement type, size, orientation, and interfacial properties and (2) processing enhancements involving the modification of build parameters, material formulations, and posttreatments. The review systematically analyzes the interdependencies between microstructure‐property relationships and processing‐performance characteristics. Key findings include an improvement of up to 50% in strength and toughness through optimized microstructure and printing techniques, which are compared with results from other studies that reported a maximum of 30%–40% improvement under similar conditions. The review also highlights the successful application of these approaches in various case studies, demonstrating their potential to substantially enhance the dimensional control and functional properties of 3D‐printed PMCs, making them suitable for diverse applications ranging from aerospace components to flexible sensors. Despite these advancements, challenges such as performance consistency, part quality, and scalability remain, emphasizing the need for continued research to fully exploit the potential of 3D‐printed PMCs.

Advances in Optimizing Mechanical Performance of 3D‐Printed Polymer Composites: A Microstructural and Processing Enhancements Review

3D打印聚合物复合材料力学性能优化进展：微观结构与工艺增强综述

With the continuous expansion of the global automobile fleet, there is an escalating demand to enhance and maintain current road infrastructure. Given the information provided, there will be a growing demand for bitumen, a key raw material used in the manufacturing of asphalt. Bitumen may account for up to 60% of the total usage in asphalt production. This study aims to determine the effect of different content of polylactic acid (PLA) on the change in the chemical and physical properties of biopolymer bitumen during its modification. This study was carried out by using a sample of petroleum road bitumen from CASPI BITUM (Kazakhstan) and a sample of PLA from Zhejiang Hisun (China). As a part of the research, the change of quality indicators of biopolymer bitumen when adding 4%–10% of PLA to it has been established. The results showed that the values of the average molecular weight and average molar mass increased with increasing the content of PLA in biopolymer bitumen. In particular, when the PLA content in biopolymer bitumen increased up to 10%, the average molecular weight of the biopolymer bitumen increased from 1,263 to 2,759 Mw and the average molar mass increased from 1,215 to 1,395 Mn. It was shown that increasing the PLA content in biopolymer bitumen from 0% to 10% leads to an increase in the softening temperature from 47 to 70°C or ∼ 49%. It was found that all examined samples of biopolymer bitumen are characterized by increased plasticity at 25°C (&gt;100 cm). It has been established that the addition of 8% PLA to bitumen allows one to obtain a biopolymer bitumen of optimal quality. The results obtained can be used to produce road biopolymer bitumen.

The oil bitumen BND 90/130, produced at the “LLP SP Caspi Bitum” with the modifier, which consists of copolymer of ethylene with butyl acrylate and glycidyl methacrylate taken in an amount of 0.5–1.6 wt%, and the tire reclaim (4–20 wt%), which is the destructate of mesh elastomers of different chemical nature, was modified; possibility of using the developed bitumen-elastomer binders in road asphalt concrete was justified. Modification of bitumen with a copolymer of ethylene with butyl acrylate and glycidyl methacrylate leads to an improvement in the properties of road bitumen: the softening point, hardness, deformability at low temperatures, elasticity, and adhesion to metal and mineral filler increase. It was shown that ethylene with butyl acrylate and glycidyl methacrylate chemically interacts with the functional groups of bitumen asphaltenes through the epoxy group of glycidyl methacrylate. Analysis of the spectra and group composition indicates an increased content of high molecular weight asphaltenes in the modified bitumen with a slight increase in structuring resins. It has been established that bitumen modified with rubber crumbs of 0.6–1.0 mm in size has high elasticity. The most effective composition of a bitumen-regenerated composite material based on tire reclaim has been determined. In terms of the totality of physicochemical and operational characteristics and comparative cost, the most acceptable is the bitumen-regenerated composition (with a regenerate content of 20%) and is superior in the complex of properties to bitumen modified with an optimal content of ethylene with butyl acrylate and glycidyl methacrylate (1.6%). The technology for modifying bitumen with tire reclaim is less time-consuming, more economically profitable, and environmentally effective, since it utilizes large-tonnage waste of worn-out tires. The resulting bitumen-polymer compositions have a high positive set of properties: softening point, hardness, elasticity, frost resistance, and low-temperature characteristics.

Interpolyelectrolyte complexes (IPECs) of polysaccharides are multifunctional polymer materials that improve the mechanical and physicochemical properties of individual polysaccharides. In this study, highly porous (&gt;90%) materials based on IPECs of versatile natural polysaccharides, chitosan (30 and 1,200 kDa) and pectin, are obtained by freeze-drying technique. To enhance the interaction between chitosan and pectin macromolecules, the latter are chemically functionalized with dialdehyde groups. The chitosan-/aldehyde-functionalized pectin (Chit/AF-Pect) polyelectrolyte complex sponges obtained are characterized using SEM, FTIR spectroscopy, and TGA. The swelling capacity study reveals a higher swelling ratio of IPEC sponges with an increase in both the molecular weight and content of chitosan: for Chit30/AF-Pect, the swelling ratio rises from 327% to 480%, while for Chit1200/AF-Pect, from 681% to 1,066%. Additionally, the in vitro degradation test demonstrates higher stability of Chit1200/AF-Pect sponges in comparison with those of Chit30/AF-Pect: after 4 days of incubation, the weight losses are found to be 9%–16% and 18%–41%, respectively. The cytotoxicity study shows that Chit30/AF-Pect sponges are noncytotoxic, with cell viability values &gt;70%. Furthermore, the Chit30/AF-Pect sponges, obtained at chitosan:pectin weight ratio of 5:1, exhibit bactericidal activity against Escherichia coli BIM B-984 G, Pseudomonas aeruginosa BIM B-807 G, Staphylococcus aureus BIM B-1841, and slightly inhibit the growth of Enterococcus faecalis BIM B-1530 G. These findings indicate that the obtained Chit30/AF-Pect sponges can be used to create wound dressings for wound healing applications.

The blend matrix composed of polyvinyl alcohol and carboxymethylcellulose (PVA/CMC) was prepared via the casting method. SiO2 nanoparticles were added as reinforcement in different amounts (SiO2 = 1, 2, 3, and 4 wt.%). The study utilized FTIR to examine the alterations in composition and the interplay between the blend matrix and the inclusion of SiO2. Also, for the first time, the surface roughness and surface wettability of the PVA/CMC blend matrix were investigated with the addition of SiO2 using measurements of contact angle and surface roughness parameters. The surface roughness and wettability of the blend matrix increased as the SiO2 content increased. In addition, the blend matrix optical features were determined by the UV–visible spectrophotometer. Based on the analysis using Tauc’s relation, it was found that the energy bandgap decreases from 5.52 to 5.17 eV (direct transition) and from 4.79 to 4.32 eV (indirect transition) for the PVA/CMC and PVA/CMC/4%SiO2 blend films, respectively. The refractive index increases from 2.009 to about 2.144 for the PVA/CMC and PVA/CMC/4%SiO2 blend films, respectively. Furthermore, optical conductivity and dielectric constants were improved for the PVA/CMC blend film after the addition of SiO2 nanoparticles.

Vegan leather derived from mushroom mycelium is a revolutionary technology that addresses the issues raised by bovine and synthetic leather. Jute–mycelium-based vegan leather was constructed using hessian jute fabric, natural rubber solution, and extracted polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) biopolymer from Bacillus subtilis strain FPP-K isolated from fermented herbal black tea liquor waste. The bacterial strain was confirmed using 16S rRNA genomic sequencing. The structural characteristics of sustainable mycelium vegan leather were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGA methods. To address the functional features of the developed vegan leather, solubility, swelling degree, WVP, WCA, and mechanical strength were also evaluated. Mycelium networking was further validated by micromorphological examination (SEM) of the leather sample’s cross-sectional area. Jute–mycelium leather demonstrated a tensile strength of 8.62 MPa and a % elongation of 8.34, which were significantly greater than the control sample. Vegan leather displayed a strong peak in the O ═ H group of carbohydrates in the examination of chemical bonds. A high-frequency infrared wavelength of 1,462 cm−1 revealed the amide group of protein due to the presence of mycelium, while the absorption peak at 1,703 cm−1 in leather indicated the crosslinking of PHA. Moreover, the TGA study finalized the thermal stability of leather. The enhanced hydrophobicity and reduced swelling degree and solubility also endorsed the water resistance properties of the leather. The results of the investigation substantiated the potential properties of mycelium vegan leather as animal- and environment-free leather.
