ABSTRACT

Bamboo, as a renewable bioresource, exhibits advantages of fast growth cycle and high strength. Bamboo-based composite materials are a promising alternative to load-bearing structural materials. It is urgent to develop high-performance glued-bamboo composite materials. This study focused on the chemical bonding interface to achieve high bonding strength and water resistance between bamboo and dialdehyde cellulose-polyamine (DAC-PA4N) adhesive by activating the bamboo surface. The bamboo surface was initially modified in a directional manner to create an epoxy-bamboo interface using GPTES. The epoxy groups on the interface were then chemically crosslinked with the amino groups of the DAC-PA4N adhesive, forming covalent bonds within the adhesive layer. The results demonstrated that the hot water strength of the modified bamboo was improved by 75.8 % (from 5.17 to 9.09 MPa), and the boiling water strength was enhanced by 232 % (from 2.10 to 6.99 MPa). The bonding and flexural properties of this work are comparable to those of commercial phenolic resin. The activation modification of the bamboo surface offers a novel approach to the development of low-carbon, environmentally friendly, and sustainable bamboo engineering composites.

ABSTRACT

Starch adhesive is a commonly used bonding glue that is sustainable, formaldehyde-free and biodegradable. However, there are obviously some problems related to its high viscosity, poor water and mildew resistance. Hence, exploring a starch-based adhesive with good properties that satisfies the requirements of wood processing presents the context of the current research. Thus, corn starch was used as raw material to form oxidized starch (OCS) via oxidation using sodium periodate, it was reacted with a synthesis polyurea compound that prepared from hexanediamine-urea (HU) obtained by deamination to yield a oxidized starch-hexanediamine-urea adhesive (denoted hereafter as OCSHU). The oxidation process was optimized in terms of oxidant concentration, reaction time and temperature. Furthermore, the impact of HU addition on the mechanical properties of the adhesive was explored. Results indicate adhesive exhibited outstanding shear strength, when 13 % of NaIO4 was used as an oxidant to treat starch at 55 °C for 24 h, and involved in a subsequent reaction with 40 % of HU. The dry shear strength, 24 h cold water strength, 3 h hot water strength and 3 h boiling water strength are 1.84, 1.50, 1.32, and 1.31 MPa. Meantime, OCSHU adhesive solution revealed good storage stability whereas cured resin exhibited mildew resistance. The developed adhesive is a simple and green biomass wood adhesive.

ABSTRACT

To develop a highly efficient adsorbent to remediate and remove hexavalent chromium ions (Cr(VI)) from polluted water, cellulose acetate (CA) and chitosan (CS), along with metal oxides (titanium dioxide (TiO2) and ferroferric oxide (Fe3O4)), and a zirconium-based metal-organic framework (UiO-66) were used to fabricate the composite porous nanofiber membranes through electrospinning. The adsorption performance, influencing factors, adsorption kinetics and isotherms of composite nanofiber membranes were comprehensively investigated. The multi-layer membrane with interpenetrating nanofibers and surface functional groups enhanced the natural physical adsorption and provided potential chemical sites. The thermal stability was improved by introducing TiO2 and UiO-66. CA/CS/UiO-66 exhibited the highest adsorption capacity (118.81 mg g-1) and removal rate (60.76%), which were twice higher than those of the control. The correlation coefficients (R2) of all the composite nanofibers regressed by the Langmuir model were significantly higher than those by the Freundlich model. The pseudo-first-order kinetic curve of CA/CS composite nanofibers showed the highest R2 (0.973), demonstrating that the whole adsorption process involved a combination of strong physical adsorption and weak chemical adsorption by the amino groups of CS. However, the R2 values of the pseudo-second-order kinetic model increased after incorporating TiO2, Fe3O4, and UiO-66 into the CA/CS composite nanofiber membranes since an enhanced chemical reaction with Cr (VI) occured during the adsorption.

ABSTRACT

Solar energy conversion technologies, particularly solar-driven photothermal conversion, are both clean and manageable. Although much progress has been made in designing solar-driven photothermal materials, significant challenges remain, not least the photobleaching of organic dyes. To tackle these issues, micro-carbonized polysaccharide chains, with carbon dots (CDs) suspended from the chains, are conceived, just like grapes or tomatoes hanging from a vine. Carbonization of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) produces just such a structure (termed CMC-g-CDs), which is used to produce an ultra-stable, robust, and efficient solar-thermal film by interfacial interactions within the CMC-g-CDs. The introduction of the CDs into the matrix of the photothermal material effectively avoided the problem of photobleaching. Manipulating the interfacial interactions (such as electrostatic interactions, van der Waals interactions, π-π stacking, and hydrogen bonding) between the CDs and the polymer chains markedly enhances the mechanical properties of the photothermal film. The CMC-g-CDs are complexed with Fe3+ to eliminate leakage of the photothermal reagent from the matrix and to solve the problem of poor water resistance. The resulting film (CMC-g-CDs-Fe) has excellent prospects for practical application as a photothermal film.

ABSTRACT

How to efficiently produce high performance plywood is of particular interest, while its sensitivity to moisture is overcome. This paper presents a simple and scalable strategy for the preparation of high-performance plywood based on the chemical bonding theory; a wood interfacial functionalized platform (WIFP) based on (3-aminopropyl) triethoxysilane (APTES) was established. Interestingly, the APTES-enhanced dialdehyde cellulose-based adhesive (DAC-APTES) was able to effectively establish chemically active adhesive interfaces; the dry/wet shear strength of WIFP/DAC-APTES adhesive was 3.15/1.31 MPa, which was much higher than 0.7 MPa (GB/T 9846-2015). The prepared plywood showed excellent wood-polymer interface adhesion, which exceeded the force that the wood itself could withstand. In addition, the DAC-APTES adhesive exhibits moisture evaporation-induced curing behavior at room temperature and can easily support the weight of an adult weighing 65.7 Kg. This research provides a novel approach for functionalized interface design of wood products, an effective means to prepare high-performance plywood.

ABSTRACT

Iron ions play a crucial role in the environment and the human body. Therefore, developing an effective detection method is crucial. In this paper, we report CNS2, a chitosan-based fluorescent probe utilizing naphthalimide as a fluorophore. CNS2 is designed to "quench" its own yellow fluorescence through the specific binding of compounds containing enol structures to Fe3+. Studying the fluorescence lifetime of CNS2 in the presence or absence of Fe3+ reveals that the quenching mechanism is static. The presence of multiple recognition sites on the chitosan chain bound to Fe3+ gave CNS2 rapid recognition (1 min) and high sensitivity, with a detection limit as low as 0.211 µM. Moreover, the recognition of Fe3+ by CNS2 had a good specificity and was not affected by interferences. More importantly, in this study, CNS2 was successfully utilised to prepare fluorescent composite membranes and to detect Fe3+ in real water samples and a variety of food samples. The results show that the complex sample environment still does not affect the recognition of Fe3+ by CNS2. All the above experiments obtained more satisfactory results, which provide strong support for the detection of Fe3+ by the probe CNS2 in practical applications.

ABSTRACT

The use of metal catalysts during the production process of cellulose acetate (CA) film can have an impact on the environment, due to their toxicity. Diphenyl phosphate (DPP) was used instead of toxic metal catalyst to react with cellulose acetate, tannin (T) and caprolactone (CL) for preparation of cellulose acetate-caprolactone-tannin (CA-CL-T) film. The results show that DPP can produce a cross-linked network structure composed of tannin, caprolactone and cellulose acetate. The maximum molecular weight reached 113,260 Da. The introduction of tannin and caprolactone into cellulose acetate caused the resulting CA-CL-T film acquire excellent strengthening/toughening effect, in which a tensile strength of 23 MPa and elongation at break of 18 % were attained. More importantly, the resistance of the film to UV radiation was significantly improved with the tannin addition, which was corroborated by the CA-CL-T film still exhibiting a tensile strength of 13 MPa and elongation at break around 13 % after continuous exposure to UV radiation for 9 days. On the other hand, the insertion of caprolactone provoked enhancement of the overall moisture resistance. Five days treatment of the films with Penicillium sp. induced gradual drop in quality, indicating the CA-CL-T film show response to biodegradation. In all, the effective crosslinking between the components of the developed material is responsible for the acquired set of these distinct characteristics.

ABSTRACT

Wood-based panels find widespread application in the furniture and construction industries. However, over 90 % of adhesives used are synthesized with formaldehyde, leading to formaldehyde emission and associated health risks. In this study, an entirely bio-based adhesive (OSL) was innovatively proposed through the condensation of multi-aldehyde derived from the oxidization of sucrose (OS) with sodium lignosulfonate (L). This approach positioned oxidized sucrose (OS) as a viable substitute for formaldehyde, ensuring safety, simplicity, and enhance water resistance upon reaction with L. The optimization of the OSL adhesive preparation process involved determining the oxidant level for high sucrose conversion to aldehyde (13 % based on sucrose), the mass ratio of OS to L (0.8), and hot-pressing temperature (200 °C). Notably, the shear strength of 3-plywood bonded with the developed adhesive (1.04 MPa) increased to 1.42 MPa after being immersed in hot water at 63 ±â€¯3 °C for 3 h. Additionally, the plywood specimens exhibited excellent performance after soaking in boiling water for 3 h, resulting in a shear strength of 1.03 MPa. Chemical analysis using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) confirmed an addition reaction between L and OS, forming a dense network structure, effectively enhanceing the water resistance of OSL adhesives. Furthermore, compared with lignin-formaldehyde resin adhesive (LF), the OSL adhesive exhibited superior wet shear strength. This study offered an innovative approach for developing lignin-based adhesives utilizing a biomass aldehyde (OS), as a promising substitute for formaldehyde in the wood industry. The findings indicated that this approach may advance lignin-based adhesives, ensuring resistance to strength deterioration under highly humid environmental conditions.

ABSTRACT

Polysaccharide-based adhesives, especially chitosan (CS)-derived adhesives, serve as promising sustainable alternatives to traditional adhesives. However, most demonstrate a poor adhesive strength. Inspired by the inherent layered structure of marine arthropods (lobsters), a core-shell structure (SiO2-NH2@OPG) with amine-functionalized silica (SiO2-NH2) as the core and oxidized pyrogallol (OPG) as the shell is prepared in this study. The compound is blended with CS to produce a structural biomimetic wood adhesive (SiO2-NH2@OPG/CS) with excellent performance. In addition to thermocompressive curing, this adhesive exhibits a water-evaporation-induced curing behavior at room temperature. With reference to the design mechanism of the lobster cuticle, this microphase-separated structure consists of clustered nanofibers with varying amounts of SiO2-NH2@OPG particles between the fibers. This intriguing microphase structure and its mechanical effects could offer a powerful solution for improving the functional modification of wood composites.

ABSTRACT

Cellulose is the most abundant natural polymer with good biocompatibility and easy modification characteristics. In this paper, a novel cellulose fluorescence probe CNS for detecting ClO- was prepared by modifying microcrystalline cellulose (MCC). The fluorescence detection results indicate that CNS exhibits a highly specific "ratiometric" and "colorimetric" fluorescence response to ClO-. In the presence of ClO-, the fluorescence color changes from green to cyan. In addition, the color of the solution changes from yellow to colorless, which can be observed with the "naked eye". Considering the good selectivity and anti-interference ability of CNS, the probe can be used for the detection of ClO- in real water samples. Importantly, CNS composite films and test papers were prepared and showed practicability in the detection of ClO-, highlighting its broad application potentials.

ABSTRACT

Fe3+ is one of the most widely distributed and abundant elements on earth. Realizing efficient and real-time monitoring of Fe3+ is of great significance for the natural environment and the health of living organisms. In this paper, a flavonol-labelled cellulose-based fluorescent probe (ACHM) was synthesized by using dialdehyde cellulose (DAC) as the backbone and combining with flavonol derivatives (AHM - 1). The mechanism of recognizing Fe3+ was verified by characterizing the structure of ACHM by NMR, HRMS (High Resolution Mass Spectrometry), FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy), XRD (X-ray Diffraction), TG (Thermogravimetry) and SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy). The H2O solution of the probe ACHM showed good fluorescence properties. It has quenching fluorescence properties for Fe3+, with a low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.10 µM and a fast response time of only 20 s. In addition, in order to expand the application range of the probe, ACHM was prepared as a fluorescent composite film with an average tensile strength of 32.9 MPa and an average elongation at break of 3.39 %. It shows its superiority in mechanical properties. The probe also demonstrated its practical application value for detecting Fe3+ in smartphone imaging applications.

ABSTRACT

Enhancing the performance of layered nickel-cobalt double hydroxides (NiCo-LDH) as electrode materials for supercapacitors represents a promising strategy for optimizing energy storage systems. However, the complexity of the preparation method for electrode materials with enhanced electrochemical performance and the inherent defects of nickel-cobalt LDH remain formidable challenges. In this study, we synthesized acetate-ion-intercalated NiCo-LDH (NCLA) through a simple one-step hydrothermal method. The physical and chemical structural properties and supercapacitor characteristics of the as-prepared NCLA were systematically characterized. The results indicated that the introduction of Ac- engendered a distinctive tetragonal crystal structure in NiCo-LDH, concomitant with a reduced interlayer spacing, thus enhancing structural stability. Electrochemical measurements revealed that NCLA-8 exhibited a specific capacitance of 1032.2 F g-1 at a current density of 1 A g-1 and a high specific capacitance of 922 F g-1 at 10 A g-1, demonstrating a rate performance of 89.3%. Furthermore, NCLA-8 was used to construct the positive electrode of an asymmetric supercapacitor, while the negative electrode was composed of activated carbon. This configuration resulted in an energy density of 67.7 Wh kg-1 at a power density of 800 W kg-1. Remarkably, the asymmetric supercapacitor retained 82.8% of its initial capacitance following 3000 charge-discharge cycles at a current density of 10 A g-1. Thus, this study demonstrates the efficacy of acetate-ion intercalation in enhancing the electrochemical performance of NiCo-LDH, establishing it as a viable electrode material for supercapacitors.

ABSTRACT

Cuprous oxide (Cu2O) nanoparticles (NPs) was anchored on wood by simple spraying method, then both soft and hard wood has been endowed efficient function photocatalytic degradation toward organic dyes and formaldehyde gas synergistically. The best recycle ability of wood based photocatalyst toward organic pollutants was achieved, which was characterized by photocatalytic degradation efficiency of methylene blue (MB) more than 95% after 100 cycles, and formaldehyde gas over 85% after 60 cycles. Cu2O NPs@wood performed much lower forbidden bandwidth (Eg), which accelerated to generate much more radical of e- and finally promoted the capacity of photocatalytic degradation. The proposed Cu2O NPs@wood catalysts has potential to be applied both in the field of wastewater and air pollution remediation.

ABSTRACT

To develop a green and facile adsorbent for removing indoor polluted formaldehyde (HCHO) gas, the biomass porous nanofibrous membranes (BPNMs) derived from microcrystalline cellulose/chitosan were fabricated by electrospinning. The enhanced chemical adsorption sites with diverse oxygen (O) and nitrogen (N)-containing functional groups were introduced on the surface of BPNMs by non-thermal plasma modification under carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrogen (N2) atmospheres. The average nanofiber diameters of nanofibrous membranes and their nanomechanical elastic modulus and hardness values decreased from 341 nm to 175-317 nm and from 2.00 GPa and 0.25 GPa to 1.70 GPa and 0.21 GPa, respectively, after plasma activation. The plasma-activated nanofibers showed superior hydrophilicity (WCA = 0°) and higher crystallinity than that of the control. The optimal HCHO adsorption capacity (134.16 mg g-1) of BPNMs was achieved under a N2 atmosphere at a plasma power of 30 W and for 3 min, which was 62.42 % higher compared with the control. Pyrrolic N, pyridinic N, CO and O-C=O were the most significant O and N-containing functional groups for the improved chemical adsorption of the BPNMs. The adsorption mechanism involved a synergistic combination of physical and chemical adsorption. This study provides a novel strategy that combines clean plasma activation with electrospinning to efficiently remove gaseous HCHO.

ABSTRACT

Non-isocyanate polyurethane (NIPU) as a new type of polyurethane material has become a hot research topic in the polyurethane industry due to its no utilization of toxic isocyanates during the synthesis process. And the developing on recyclable biomass materials has also much attention in the industrial sector, hence the preparation and application of bio-based NIPU has also become a very meaningful study work. So, in this paper, tannin as a biomass material was used to synthesize tannin based non-isocyanate polyurethanes (TNIPU) resin, and then successfully prepared a self-blowing TNIPU foam at room temperature by using formic acid as initiator and glutaraldehyde as cross-linking agent. The compressive strength of this foam as high as 0.8 MPa, which is an excellent compressive performance. Meanwhile it will return to the state before compression when removing the pressure. This indicating that the foam has good toughness. In addition, formic acid can react with the amino groups in TNIPU to form amide substances, and generated enough heat to initiate the foaming process. Glutaraldehyde, as a crosslinking agent, reacts with the amino group in TNIPU to form a network structure system. By scanning electron microscope (SEM) observation of the cell shapes, it can be seen that the foam cells were uniform in size and shape, and the cell pores showed open and closed cells. The limiting oxygen index (LOI) tested value of this TNIPU foam is 24.45 % without any flame retardant added, but compared to the LOI value of polyurethane foam (17 %-19 %), TNIPU foam reveal a better fire resistance. It has a wider application prospect.

ABSTRACT

Biomass resources are widely considered potential alternatives to formaldehyde-based wood adhesives because of their abundance. In this study, an environmentally friendly biomass adhesive, carboxylated chitosan-glucose (CSC-G), was prepared using chitosan, maleic anhydride, and glucose. The structure and water resistance of the adhesive were analyzed in detail. Maleic anhydride act as a bridge connecting chitosan and glucose, giving the adhesive good water solubility and resistance. The improved water resistance of the CSC-G adhesive was attributed to the formation of covalent cross-linked structures and an increased degree of system cross-linking. Additionally, the curing temperature of the CSC-G adhesive was superior to those of previously reported polyester adhesives. This study not only expands the application scope of fishery waste, but also demonstrates its great potential for the preparation of high-performance plywood.

ABSTRACT

Despite the widespread application prospect of soybean meal flour (SF) as a non-toxic and renewable wood adhesive, the practical application is limited by its poor mechanical properties and water resistance. In this work, a novel SF-based wood adhesive (CSP) was developed using citric acid (CA) as a modifier, which was further designated to produce plywood on a laboratory scale. Moreover, the effects of the mass ratio of CA/SF, hot-pressing temperature, and hot-pressing time on the bonding properties and water resistance of the resulting plywood were investigated in detail. As a result, under the optimal hot-pressing conditions (180 °C, 5 min), high-performance plywood bonded by CSP (CA/SF = 15/100) adhesive was fabricated, whose dry shear strength, cold-water wet shear strength (20 °C for 24 h), and hot-water wet shear strength (63 °C for 3 h) reached 1.65 MPa, 1.99 MPa, and 1.58 MPa, respectively. Due to the easy preparation process, sustainability, and favorable properties, the proposed fully bio-based CSP wood adhesive has great potential for the large-scale fabrication of eco-friendly wood panels in industry.

ABSTRACT

Using chitosan as a raw material, 1,8-naphthimide as the fluorescent chromophore, and sulfur-containing compounds as the recognition groups, a novel naphthimide-functionalized chitosan probe, CS-BNS, for the detection of ClO- was successfully synthesized. The modification of chitosan was verified by SEM, XRD, FTIR, mapping, 13C-NMR, TG and the structure of the probe molecule was characterized. The identification performance of the probes was studied using UV and fluorescence spectrophotometers. The results show that CS-BNS exhibits a specific response to ClO- based on the oxidative reaction of ClO- to the recognition motifs, as well as a good resistance to interference. And the probe has high sensitivity and fast response time, and can complete the detection of ClO- in a pure water system within 60 s. The probe can also quantify ClO- (y = 30.698x + 532.37, R2 = 0.9833) with a detection limit as low as 0.27 µM. In addition, the combination of the probe with smartphone technology enables the visualization and real-time monitoring of ClO-. Moreover, an identification system for ClO- was established by combining the probe with smartphone technology, which realized the visualization and real-time monitoring of ClO-.

ABSTRACT

Herein, a high-performance sucrose-tannin bio-based adhesive is developed based on consisting of oxidized sucrose (OS), tannin acid (TA), SiO2 nanoparticles and 2,2'-disulfanediylbis (ethan-1-amine) (DBA) by a facile chemical cross-linking strategy. The OS-TA and OS-TA@SiO2 bio-based adhesives are characterized by XPS, FTIR, and 13C NMR, while the bonding performance is also investigated using shear strength test. Results show that the optimal formulation of OS-TA bio-based adhesive is a 2:1:1 mass ratio for OS: TA: DBA. When the mass fraction of SiO2 is 15 % and the solid content of main components is 50 %, the OS-TA@SiO2 bio-based adhesive has excellent bonding strength. Relative to OS-TA, the wet bonding strength of the OS-TA@SiO2 enhanced from 1.16 MPa to 1.85 MPa, while the dry bonding strength improved from 1.90 MPa to 2.50 MPa. The wood failure rate of the plywood fabricated by using the OS-TA@SiO2 bio-based adhesive reaches 80 %. Therefore, relying on the high flexibility of dynamic disulfide bonds, adding SiO2 nanoparticles into the adhesive system can facilitate greatly the mechanical interlocking effect and make the chemical cross-linking network more compact through the synergistic chemical interactions. This work provides new insights into producing green and renewable bio-based wood adhesives using sucrose and tannin.

ABSTRACT

Starch is one of the important raw materials for the preparation of biomass adhesives for its good viscosity and low-cost properties. However, the drawbacks of poor water resistance and bonding performance seriously restrict its application in the wood industry. To resolve those problems, an environment-friendly renewable, and high water resistance starch-based adhesive (OSTH) was prepared with oxidized starch and hexanediamine by Schiff base reaction. In order to optimize the adhesive preparation process, the effect of different oxidation times and oxidant addition on the mechanical performance of plywood were investigated. In addition, the curing behavior characteristics, thermomechanical properties, and thermal stability of the OSTH adhesives were analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), and thermogravimetric analysis (TG). Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometry and Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) were used to explain the reaction mechanisms involved. The results show this adhesive has an excellent bonding performance at the oxidation time of 12 h with 11 % (w/w, dry starch basis) NaIO4 as an oxidant. The dry shear strength, 24-hour cold water, and 3-hour hot water (63 °C) soaking shear strength of the plywood bonded with this resin were respectively 1.87 MPa, 0.96 MPa, and 0.91 MPa, which satisfied the standard requirement of GB/T 9846-2015 (≥0.7 MPa). Thus, this study provided a potential strategy to prepare starch-based wood adhesives with good bonding performance and water resistance.
