Aerogels, renowned as ultra-lightweight solids with exceptional porosity and specific surface area, have emerged as pivotal materials for thermal insulation, catalysis, energy storage, and biomedicine. This review comprehensively evaluates the recent strides in sustainable, high-performance cellulose-based aerogels, emphasizing their fabrication, functionalization, and application prospects. It details the extraction of cellulose from diverse sources and its subsequent processing into nanocellulose (e.g., cellulose nanofibrils and nanocrystals), which serves as the fundamental building block for aerogel synthesis. The…
Formulating oil-based drilling fluids (OBDFs) with an ultra-low oil-to-water ratio (OWR ≤ 60:40) presents a formidable stability challenge due to the maximized interfacial area and intensified stress on the interfacial film under high-temperature, high-density conditions. To address this, we engineered a synergistic stabilization system through molecular and colloidal design. A novel hyperbranched polyamide emulsifier (epoxidized soybean oil polyamide) (ESOP), synthesized from epoxidized soybean oil, exhibits superior thermal stability and interfacial activity due to its hyperbranched…
The demand for extended electric vehicle (EV) range necessitates advanced lightweighting strategies. This study introduces a materials genome approach, augmented by machine learning (ML), for optimizing lightweight composite designs for EVs. A comprehensive materials genome database was developed, encompassing composites based on carbon, glass, and natural fibers. This database systematically records critical parameters such as mechanical properties, density, cost, and environmental impact. Machine learning models, including Random Forest, Support Vector Machines, and Artificial Neural Networks,…
This study presents a sustainable approach for the valorization of spent coffee grounds (CG) by converting them into carboxylated cellulose nanofibrils (CG-TCNF) via formic acid/hydrogen peroxide pretreatment followed by TEMPO/NaClO/NaClO2-mediated oxidation. The pretreatment efficiently removed lignin, hemicellulose, and other non-cellulosic components, yielding purified cellulose (CG-C) with high crystallinity (CrI = 84%). Subsequent regioselective oxidation introduced carboxyl groups at the C6 position of cellulose chains, achieving a high carboxylate content of 1.4 mmol/g. The resulting CG-TCNF exhibited…
Polyurea (PUA) is widely valued in protective coatings and structural reinforcement because of its impressive mechanical strength and resistance to corrosion. Its high flammability, together with the poor dispersion that often comes with simply blending in flame retardants, continues to limit its use in demanding environments. To overcome these issues, this study introduces a different approach. We grafted 9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene-10-oxide (DOPO) onto the surface of a metal–organic framework (MOF) and then partially amino-functionalized the DOPO layer,…
A comparative analysis was performed on poly(lactic acid) (PLA), poly(caprolactone) (PCL), basalt fiber (BF) composites produced using two distinct approaches: direct blending and masterbatching. The limitations of PLA-BF composites with regard to distribution and adhesion are well-documented, as are chemical treatment methods (addition of compatibilisers, surface treatments, silanization). This work aimed to study an industrially relevant potential solution of utilising a PCL-BF masterbatch, prepared as a 50/50 wt.% blend using planetary roller extrusion (PEX) to…
Epoxy resins are extensively employed in the construction, electronics, automotive, and aerospace industries owing to their outstanding mechanical strength, chemical resistance, and electrical insulation. However, their intrinsic flammability, poor wear resistance, and hydrophilicity significantly restrict broader applications. To address these challenges, a novel multifunctional coating (CEOS-DOPO-PDMS) has been designed and fabricated via an NP-GLIDE approach. The system integrates 9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene-10-oxide (DOPO) as a reactive phosphorus-based flame retardant, epoxy-terminated polydimethylsiloxane (EP-PDMS) as a hydrophobic segment, and cycloaliphatic…
Phenolic resins are widely used in thermal protection, yet achieving simultaneous improvement in thermal stability and mechanical strength remains challenging. In this work, a vinyl-modified silicone resin (VMTQ) was synthesized and incorporated into a boron phenolic resin (BPF) matrix. Three composite ceramic fillers, Al2O3–SiO2–ZrO2 (ASZ), Al2O3–SiO2–TiO2 (AST), and Al2O3–SiO2–MgO (ASM), were further introduced to construct a multi-oxide synergistic reinforcement system. Thermogravimetric analysis shows that the maximum decomposition rate decreases by 0.2–0.3%·min−1, while the ASM/V3/BPF-3 composite exhibits a…
To meet the needs of the treatment of Cu2+ pollution in aqueous solution, the sodium alginate-modified polyacrylic acid (PAA/SA) composite hydrogel was prepared by solution polymerization with acrylic acid (AA) as monomer, sodium alginate (SA) as filler, N, N’-methylenebisacrylamide (MBA) as crosslinking agent, and potassium persulfate (K2S2O8) as initiator. The characterization results showed that the introduction of SA significantly improved the physical and chemical properties of PAA hydrogel materials. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed that as…
Composite resin restorations are routinely exposed to acidic and chromogenic beverages that may alter their surface integrity over time. This in-vitro study evaluated the surface roughness behavior of two universal single-shade (Unishade) composites and two conventional multi-shade composites following immersion in commonly consumed staining solutions and assessed whether repolishing could restore smoothness after degradation. A total of 120 standardized disc specimens were fabricated and allocated to four material groups, with each group subdivided into distilled water,…
The two distinct types of composite materials (5% to 10%) were developed using recycled polyvinyl alcohol fiber (RPA), silicon nitride fiber (SN), and reduced carbon nanoparticles (RCN). Enhanced microstructural properties and mechanical strength were attained through the application of the 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane coupling method. The combination of the resin-like properties of RPA-SN fiber resulted in the formation of robust outer strength and a high bonding structure. RPA-RCN composite materials with a weight percentage of 10% exhibited…
To comprehensively explore the impact of binder content on the mechanical properties of the Polymer bonded explosive (PBX) substitute material (Polymer-bonded Analogue Explosive (PAE)—it is renowned for its outstanding high-temperature resistance, exceptional mechanical properties, excellent chemical stability, and superior electrical insulation), a series of experiments are meticulously carried out. The dynamic and static mechanical properties, along with the microstructure of PAE, are precisely measured through the Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) test, static compression tests,…
The valorization of agricultural waste into high-value nanomaterials is crucial for advancing sustainable biorefineries. This study presents an efficient approach for extracting carboxylated cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) from poplar leaf waste (PL), an abundant and underutilized biomass. The process involved alkaline treatment and hydrogen peroxide bleaching to purify cellulose (PL-CEL), followed by sequential periodate-chlorite oxidation to produce dicarboxylic cellulose nanocrystals (PL-CNCs). The resulting nanocrystals were comprehensively characterized using compositional analysis, XRD, FTIR, TEM, TGA, and zeta…
This study presents the development of high-performance, solvent-free polyurethane-urea (PU) elastomeric coatings engineered for rapid curing and precise sprayability. Utilizing polyoxytetramethylene glycol (PTMG) as the primary polyol and a static-mixing spraying technique, the formulations were systematically optimized. It was found that a soft-segment content of 64% yields optimal mechanical properties, achieving a remarkable tensile strength exceeding 30 MPa. Crucially, the incorporation of an ultra-low concentration (0.002 wt%) of dibutyltin dilaurate catalyst was sufficient to enhance…
