Polylactic acid (PLA), as a green functional polymer, has been useful in various coating applications. However, due to the low mechanical strength and thermal stability of PLA, it needs to be improved in order to expand its application areas. In this work, a series of polylactic acid (PLA) nanocomposite films were prepared through introducing polydopamine-modified mica (PDA@MICA) as a self-assemble nanofiller to enhance its mechanical and thermal properties.

Underwater artefacts are vulnerable to damage and loss of archaeological information during the extraction process. To solve this problem, it is necessary to apply temporary consolidation materials to fix the position of marine artifacts. A cross-linked network hydrogel composed of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), tannic acid (TA), borax, and calcium chloride has been created.

Bioplastics are considered as potential alternatives to non-renewable and non-biodegradable petroleum-based plastics. Inspired by ionic and amphiphilic properties of mussel protein, we proposed a versatile and facile strategy for the fabrication of a high-performance chitosan (CS) composite film. This technique incorporates a cationic hyperbranched polyamide (QHB) and a supramolecular system based on the lignosulphonate (LS)-functionalized cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) (LS@CNF) hybrids.

As a soybean oil extractive byproduct, high temperature defatted soy meal (HSM) presents great potential as a raw material for vegetable protein adhesives to replace aldehyde-based adhesives in the wood-based panel production. However, the application has been hindered by its poor cold-pressing adhesive performance. Herein, a novel HSM-based adhesive with excellent cold-pressing adhesion performance was developed based on mussel-inspired cation-π interactions.

Soy protein (SP) adhesives can resolve several problems with aldehyde-based adhesives, including formaldehyde release and excessive dependence on petroleum-based materials. Nevertheless, their development is hindered by the lack of balance between fluidity and high cold-pressing adhesive strength. A dynamically cross-linked SP adhesive with excellent fluidity and cold-pressing adhesion was developed in this study based on the polyphenol-metal ion redox-induced gelation system.
