High-Performance Hydrogel Adsorbent Based on Cellulose, Hemicellulose, and Lignin for Copper(II) Ion Removal.

Cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin are three kinds of biopolymer in lignocellulosic biomass, and the utilization of the three biopolymers to synthesize hydrogel adsorbent could protect the environment and enhance the economic value of the biomass. A novel hydrogel adsorbent was prepared using cellulose, lignin, and hemicellulose of wheat straw by a one-pot method, and the adsorbent showed excellent adsorption performance for copper(II) ions. Scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis showed that the prepared straw-biopolymer-based hydrogel had porous structure, and cellulose fibrils had crosslinked with lignin and hemicellulose by poly(acrylic acid) chains.

Preparation of Ionic Liquid-Coated Graphene Nanosheets/PTFE Nanocomposite for Stretchable, Flexible Conductor via a Pre-Stretch Processing.

The various volume concentrations of ionic liquid-modified graphene nanosheets filled polytetrafluoroethylene nanocomposites (IL-GNs/PTFE) for flexible conductors were fabricated via a pre-stretch processing method after cold-press sintering. The results indicated that pre-stretching has no significant weakening in the electrical conductivity of the nanocomposites, while the Young's modulus greatly reduced by 62.5%, which is more suitable for flexible conductors.
