Experimental investigation on gasification characteristics of polycarbonate (PC) microplastics in supercritical water

In order to solve the problem of marine microplastics and realize the harmless resource utilization of plastics, the gasification experiments of polycarbonate (PC) microplastics were carried out in supercritical water and a novel seawater gasification of microplastic experiment was investigated. In this paper, the effects of different operating conditions (temperature, time, feedstock concentration, pressure) on gasification performance were discussed. The gasification kinetic of microplastics in supercritical water was calculated. The experimental results showed that the increase in gasification temperature and time enhanced the cracking reaction and free radical reaction of the microplastics to increase the gasification efficiency, while the reduction in feedstock concentration improved the gasification efficiency by increasing the gasification level of unit feedstock. The change in pressure had no significant effect on gasification due to the fact that the properties of the supercritical water were not significantly changed. It was found that the valuable results that all alkali metal salts in seawater promote hydrogen conversion, while in terms of carbon conversion, only KCl, CaCl₂, NaHCO₃ and seawater had a significant catalytic effect on the gasification. Seawater gasification of microplastics was a potential resource utilization method. Finally, it was considered that the PC plastic gasification conformed to the random nucleation and subsequent growth model (n = 3), and the reaction activation energy was 230.45 kJ/mol, which was smaller than that of traditional pyrolysis.     

Electroactive polythiophene/polystyrene bottlebrushes as morphology compatibilizers in photovoltaic systems

Poly(3‐thiophene ethanol) (P3ThEt)‐graft‐polystyrene (PSt) bottlebrushes were synthesized and applied in active layers of poly(3‐hexylthiophene) (P3HT):phenyl‐C71‐butyric acid methyl ester (PC71BM) solar cells as morphology compatibilizers. In the presence of 15 wt% of P3ThEt‐graft‐PSt bottlebrush compatibilizers, the P3HT crystallite dimensions (D₍₁₀₀₎ = 45.67 nm and D₍₀₂₀₎ = 30.12 nm) and R_mean (38.96 nm) of PCBM clusters were the largest and the layer spacings were all the smallest (d₍₁₀₀₎ = 1.054 nm, d₍₀₂₀₎ = 0.301 nm and d_(PCBM) = 0.406 nm). These dimensional properties led to better hole (1.9 × 10^?3 cm² V^?1 s^?1) and electron (1.2 × 10^?2 cm² V^?1 s^?1) mobilities. The content of bottlebrushes was optimized at 15 wt%, and thereby the best photovoltaic results including the maximum cell efficiency of 5.37% were obtained for this turning point (12.75 mA cm^?2, 61%, 0.69 V). On exceeding the optimum weight percentage, all photovoltaic parameters decreased markedly and reached even less than that of pristine devices (1.92% versus 2.24%). After an optimum weight percentage of compatibilizers, further enhancement in bottlebrush content in active layers saturated and finally oversaturated the system and, consequently, the cell parameters significantly decreased. Accumulation of bottlebrushes in interfaces and donor/acceptor phases ruined the system function even with large and packed P3HT crystallites and PC71BM clusters. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry

Dynamic viscoelasticity and molecular orientation in uniaxially drawn PC/PET blends

The dependence of dynamic viscoelasticity on molecular orientation of the hot-drawn polycarbonate (PC)/poly(ethylene terephthalate) blends was studied experimentally. The oriented states of samples were investigated by wide-angle X-ray diffraction and quantified by Hermans' factor. The viscoelasticity was probed by dynamic mechanical analysis. For the fitting curves of dynamic modulus versus orientation, the PC-rich blends with different compositions had an opposite concavity and convexity compared with the neat PC. The difference revealed the influence of molecular mobility on orientation and viscoelasticity. The assumption on the phase morphological change from sea-island to local sandwich-like structure in blends was proposed and used to interpret the variation of slope of fitting curves. The relationship between orientation and viscoelasticity was observed in PC-rich blends, which can help understand the mechanism of molecular orientation and develop the constitutive relations for simulation. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Improved stability in P3HT:PCBM photovoltaics by incorporation of well‐designed polythiophene/graphene compositions

Morphological and photovoltaic stabilities of poly(3‐hexylthiophene) (P3HT):phenyl‐C₆₁‐butyric acid methyl ester (PC₇₁BM) solar cells were investigated in pristine and modified states. To this end, four types of patterned/assembled nanostructures, namely reduced graphene oxide (rGO)‐g‐poly(3‐dodecylthiophene)/P3HT patched‐like pattern, rGO–polythiophene/P3HT/PC₇₁BM nanofiber, rGO‐g‐P3HT/P3HT cake‐like pattern and supra(polyaniline (PANI)‐g‐rGO/P3HT), were designed on the basis of rGO and various conjugated polymers. Intermediately covered rGO nanosheets by P3HT crystals (supra(PANI‐g‐rGO/P3HT)) performed better than sparsely (patched‐like pattern) and fully (cake‐like pattern) covered ones in P3HT:PC₇₁BM solar cell systems. Supra(PANI‐g‐rGO/P3HT) nanohybrids largely phase‐separated in active layers (root mean square = 0.88 nm) and also led to the highest performance (power conversion efficiency of 5.74%). The photovoltaic characteristics demonstrated decreasing trends during air aging for all devices, but with distinct slopes. The steepest decreasing plots were obtained for the unmodified P3HT:PC₇₁BM devices (from 1.77% to 0.28%). The two supramolecules with the most ordered structures, that is, cake‐like pattern (10.12 mA cm^?2, 51%, 0.58 V, 2.2 × 10^?6 cm² V^?1 s^?1, 4.3 × 10^?5 cm² V^?1 s^?1, 0.69 nm and 2.99%) and supra(PANI‐g‐rGO/P3HT) (12.51 mA cm^?2, 57%, 0.63 V, 1.2 × 10^?5 cm² V^?1 s^?1, 3.4 × 10^?4 cm² V^?1 s^?1, 0.82 nm and 4.49%), strongly retained morphological and photovoltaic stabilities in P3HT:PC₇₁BM devices after 1 month of air aging. According to the morphological, optical, photovoltaic and electrochemical results, the supra(PANI‐g‐rGO/P3HT) nanohybrid was the best candidate for stabilizing P3HT:PC₇₁BM solar cells. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry

The progress in atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) provides an effective means for the design and preparation of functional membranes. Polymeric membranes with different macromolecular architectures applied in fuel cells, including block and graft copolymers are conveniently prepared via ATRP.

Stereoselective Reduction of 1‐O‐Isopropyloxygenipin Enhances Its Neuroprotective Activity in Neuronal Cells from Apoptosis Induced by Sodium Nitroprusside

Genipin is a Chinese herbal medicine with both neuroprotective and neuritogenic activity. Because of its unstable nature, efforts have been to develop more stable genipin derivatives with improved biological activities. Among the new compounds reported in the literature, (1R)‐isopropyloxygenipin (IPRG001) is a more stable but less active compound compared with the parent, genipin. Here, two new IPRG001 derivatives generated by stereoselective reduction of the C₆=C₇ double bond were synthesized. The 1R and 1S isomers of (4aS,7S,7aS)‐methyl‐7‐(hydroxymethyl)‐1‐isopropoxy‐1,4a,5,6,7,7a‐hexahydrocyclopenta[c]pyran‐4‐carboxylate ( CHR20 and CHR21 ) were shown to be very stable both in high‐glucose cell culture medium and in mice serum at 37 °C. Evaluation using an MTT assay and Hoechst staining showed that CHR20 and CHR21 promote the survival of rat adrenal pheochromocytoma (PC12) and retinal neuronal (RGC‐5) cells from injury induced by sodium nitroprusside (SNP). The neuroprotective effects of CHR20 and CHR21 were greater than both isomers of IPRG001, the parent compounds. These results indicate that reduction of 1‐O‐isopropyloxygenipin enhances its neuroprotective activity without affecting its stability.
