Surface decoration of Halloysite nanotubes with POSS for fire-safe thermoplastic polyurethane nanocomposites

Wei Wu et al.

Summary: In this study, POSS containing amino group was covalently grafted on the surface of HNTs, leading to the uniform dispersion of modified HNTs in TPU matrix and significantly improved tensile properties and fire safety of TPU nanocomposites. The addition of HNTs-POSS effectively reduced heat release rate and smoke release, forming a continuous and compact char layer that hindered heat diffusion and evaporation of volatile gases, ultimately enhancing the fire safety of TPU nanocomposites.

Thermochemical degradation of cotton fabric under mild conditions

Michael Cuiffo et al.

Summary: Investigations have shown that by using low concentrations of acids and bases at 50 degrees C, successful degradation of cotton textiles' interfiber structures can be achieved, enabling the reintroduction of textiles into the circular economy without depolymerizing the cellulose structure. This environmentally friendly approach demonstrates the feasibility of effective waste-fabric recycling processes, where staple fibers can be recovered and spun into new textiles.

Hydrophobic functionalization of cellulose nanocrystals for enhanced corrosion resistance of polyurethane nanocomposite coatings

Tizazu H. Mekonnen et al.

Summary: In this study, a stiff, hydrophobic, and corrosion protective polyurethane nanocomposite coating was fabricated by incorporating surface modified cellulose nanocrystals (CNC), which improved thermal properties and material wettability of the modified CNC. The incorporation of modified CNC in PU not only improved thermomechanical properties but also enhanced interfacial adhesion between the nanoparticle and the PU matrix, leading to reduced water absorption properties of the PU composites. Salt spray and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy studies exhibited better anticorrosion behaviors of the fabricated nanocomposite as compared to PU, making the CNC modification through silanization a robust and appealing material for polymer composite applications.

Chitin Nanofiber-Reinforced Waterborne Polyurethane Nanocomposite Films with Enhanced Thermal and Mechanical Performance

Min Su Kim et al.

Summary: This study focused on the fabrication of cationic waterborne polyurethane (cWPU) nanocomposite films reinforced with chitin nanofibers (ChNF) and investigated their microstructure, thermal, and mechanical properties. The results showed that the addition of ChNF can increase the thermal decomposition temperature and storage modulus of the composite films.

Influence of hard segment content and soft segment length on the microphase structure and mechanical performance of polyurethane-based polymer concrete

Hao Huang et al.

Summary: This study investigated the structure-property relationship of PU binders with varying hard segment content and soft segment molecular weight. Results showed that increasing hard segment content or larger soft segment molecular weight enhanced hydrogen bonding and microphase separation, improving mechanical performance. Higher hard segment content led to better performance but shorter pot life. Adjusting hard segment content and soft segment length can effectively modify the engineering performance of PU-based polymer concrete.
