A new magnetic nanocomposite with a statistical star polymer structure was designed and synthesized. Nanocomposite fabrication is based on the polymerization of aromatic polyamide chains on the surface of functionalized magnetic copper ferrite nanoparticles (CuFeO MNPs). This magnetic nanostructure was characterized by several analysis methods. All the analytical methods used, for instance, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric, vibrating-sample magnetometer, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), confirmed the formation of polyamide chains. The obtained images from SEM imaging showed a unique nanoflower morphology which was the proper orientation results of synthesized nanoplates. Finally, the magnetic nanostructure showed a good potential for hyperthermia applications, with a maximum specific absorption rate of 7 W/g for 1 mg/mL of the sample under a magnetic field in different frequencies (100, 200, 300, and 400 MHz) and 5 to 20 min time intervals.

In short-carbon-fiber-reinforced polyamide 66 articles shaped by 3D printing (3D-SCFRPA66), the interfaces between printed layers are often susceptible to damage, and the composite is excessively brittle. Therefore, a novel treatment for 3D-printed short-carbon-fiber-reinforced polyamide (3D-SCFRPA66) using homogeneous low-potential electron beam irradiation (HLEBI) to enhance tensile properties was investigated. In 3D-SCFRPA66 samples, ductility was measured based on the following parameters: strain at tensile strength (corresponding to homogeneous deformation) () and resistance energy to homogeneous deformation, a measure of toughness (), which were both substantially increased.

Article Synopsis
  • Pickering emulsion polymerization is a method for making functional composite materials, but traditional methods mainly form stable bonds that are not degradable.
  • This study introduces a new technique using cellulose nanoparticles as stabilizers to enable interfacial Pickering emulsion polycondensation between aromatic aldehydes and polymercaptans.
  • The use of sulfonated cellulose nanocrystals in the process not only stabilizes the emulsion but also helps create oxidatively degradable structures in the resulting polymers, influencing their properties.

Fate, distribution, and transport dynamics of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFASs) in the environment.

J Environ Manage

December 2024

Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Florida State University, Tallahassee, FL 32310, USA.

Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFASs) are persistent organic pollutants with significant environmental and health impacts due to their widespread occurrence, bioaccumulation potential, and resistance to degradation. This paper comprehensively reviews current knowledge of PFAS fate and transport mechanisms by correlating PFAS leaching, retention, and movement to their physicochemical properties and environmental factors based on observing PFAS fate and transport in unsaturated zones, surface water, sediments, plants, and atmosphere. The complex and unique physiochemical properties of PFASs, such as their carbon-fluorine bonds and amphiphilic nature, determine their environmental behavior and persistence.

Enhancing the ductility of polylactide (PLA) through toughening modification to expand the application range of PLA aligns with the requirements of green development. In this study, eco-friendly bio-based plastic polyamide 11 (PA11) was chosen to modify poly(l-lactide) (PLLA). PA11 and poly(d-lactide) (PDLA) were grafted onto the main chain of ADR via simple reactive processing and utilized as reactive compatibilizers to improve toughening efficiency of PA11.
