Synthesis of Self-Healing Bio-Based Tannic Acid-Based Methacrylates By Thermoreversible Diels–Alder Reaction

This investigation reports the effective use of the Diels–Alder (DA) click reaction in the preparation of self-healing bio-based dendritic methacrylates having reactive furfuryl functionality. Bio-based methacrylates were synthesized by modifying tannic acid with glycidyl methacrylate and furfuryl functionality was introduced by atom transfer radical polymerization with varied amount of furfuryl methacrylate monomer. The thermoreversible network was successfully achieved by DA and retro-DA reaction between the furfuryl groups and a bifunctional maleimide crosslinker, bismaleimide. This process was studied by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and solvent exposure tests. Differential scanning calorimetry analysis was used to determine the endothermic retro-DA reaction in the DA adduct. The self-healing property of the above crosslinked material was demonstrated by monitoring the repair of a scratch in the polymer film upon heating and cooling. This was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy. POLYM. ENG. SCI., 60:140–150, 2020. © 2019 Society of Plastics Engineers     

Tungsten Nitride,Well‐Dispersed on Porous Carbon: Remarkable Catalyst,Produced without Addition of Ammonia,for the Oxidative Desulfurization of Liquid Fuel

Polyanilines (pANIs), loaded with phosphotungstic acid (PTA), are pyrolyzed to get WO₃ or W₂N (≈6 and ≈7 nm, respectively), which is well‐dispersed on pANI‐derived porous carbons (pDCs). Depending on the pyrolysis temperature, WO₃/pDC, W₂N/pDC, or W₂N‐W/pDCs could be obtained selectively. pANI acts as both the precursor of pDC and the nitrogen source for the nitridation of WO₃ into W₂N during the pyrolysis. Importantly, W₂N could be obtained from the pyrolysis without ammonia feeding. The obtained W₂N/pDC is applied as a heterogeneous catalyst for the oxidative desulfurization (ODS) of liquid fuel for the first time, and the results are compared with WO₃/pDC and WO₃/ZrO₂. The W₂N/pDC is very efficient in ODS with remarkable performance compared with WO₃/pDC or WO₃/ZrO₂, which is applied as a representative ODS catalyst. For example, W₂N/pDC shows around 3.4 and 2.7 times of kinetic constant and turnover frequency (based on 5 min of reaction), respectively, compared to that of WO₃/ZrO₂. Moreover, the catalysts could be regenerated in a facile way. Therefore, W₂N/pDC could be produced facilely from pyrolysis (without ammonia feeding) of PTA/pANI, and W₂N, well‐dispersed on pDC, can be suggested as a very efficient oxidation catalyst for the desulfurization of liquid fuel.
