The cross-linking effect of adipic acid dihydrazide (ADH) on polysaccharide derivatization can be evaluated by applying combination of elemental analysis and colorimetric assay. Elemental analysis is used for estimation of total ADH bound to polysaccharide and a colorimetric trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid assay is used to determine the part of ADH not involved in cross-linking. The difference of values expressed as molar ratios (per repeating unit) provides information on the amount of ADH involved in cross-linking the polysaccharides. Carboxymethylated polysaccharides were derivatized with different amounts of ADH to test the procedure. Analytical results showed that excess of ADH in the reaction only slightly decreased the cross-linking. The number of carboxyl groups remained unmodified even at high excess of ADH and high concentration of carbodiimide (EDC) coupling reagent.

This study successfully developed a bio-based, photocurable, anionic-nonionic dual-functional chain extender, and sulfonated cardanol-based polyethylene glycol (SCP), derived from renewable resources-cardanol and polyethylene glycol-for application in waterborne polyurethane dispersions (WPUDs). Utilizing SCP as a chain extender, WPUDs were prepared through a typical acetone process with poly(butylene adipate) (PBA), isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI), and ethylene diamine (EDA) at a constant NCO/OH ratio of 1:1. This research focused on the effects of polyethylene glycol molecular weight and SCP dosage on the particle size, stability, and film-forming properties of the WPUD.

Bead foaming technique is regarded as a highly promising method for preparing foams with complex geometries and high expansion ratios. The biodegradability of poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) has garnered significant attention in the field of foam materials. However, due to inherent disadvantages such as low melt strength and low modulus, PBAT faces challenges during bead foaming.

Generally, oligolysine has poor antibacterial effect and almost no antibacterial activity. Herein, low cost and easily available oligolysines were chosen to prepare injectable antibacterial hydrogel (PVAL-gel) for wound healing. The hydrogel network was formed by cross-linking vanillin acrylate-N, N-dimethylacrylamide copolymer P(VA-co-DMA), oligolysine and adipate dihydrazide through Schiff base bond.

The poor interfacial compatibility of natural fiber-reinforced polymer composites has become a major challenge in the development of industry-standard high-performance composites. To solve this problem, this study constructs a novel rigid-flexible balanced molecular crosslinked network transition interface in composites. The interface improves the interfacial compatibility of the composites by balancing the stiffness and strength of the fibers and the matrix, effectively improving the properties of the composites.

Department of Materials Engineering, Indian Institute of Science, C.V. Raman Avenue, Bangalore 560012, India.

Injectable hydrogels with good antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, self-healing characteristics, suitable mechanical properties, and therapeutic effects have great practical significance for developing treatments for pressing healthcare challenges. Herein, we have designed a novel, self-healing injectable hydrogel composite incorporating cross-linked biofunctional nanomaterials by mixing alginate aldehyde (Ox-Alg), quaternized chitosan (QCS), adipic acid dihydrazide (ADH), and copper oxide nanosheets surface functionalized with folic acid as the bioligand (F-CuO). Gelation was achieved under physiological conditions via the dynamic Schiff base cross-linking mechanism.
