Structure Evolution of Polyethylene in Sequential Biaxial Stretching along the First Tensile Direction

Chen, Qiang; Chen, Dandan; Kang, Jian; Cao, Ya; Chen, Jinyao

Two linear low-density polyethylene samples (PE-A and PE-B), with similar melt index and molecular weight but different molecular structures, were used to explore the structural evolution during sequential biaxial stretching. Only PE-A could be successfully stretched into a film with the biaxial draw ratio of 6 × 6. The interlamellae…

Sustainable network polymer via dynamic metal ionic crosslinks

Wang, Yanjun; Lei, Yuan; Zhou, Changlin; Wu, Bo; Jiang, Yuanyuan; Lei, Jingxin

Incorporating reversible dynamic linkages into the polymer networks endows traditional thermosets with recyclability and reprocessability. However, the facile preparation of recyclable polymer networks with suitable stability and acceptable cost is still a challenge. Among various dynamic linkages, ionic bonds promise a rational dynamic linkage in virtue of suitable stability and…

Organic acids interacting with block copolymers have broadened the window that retains isoporous structures

Zhu, Guo-Dong; Yin, Yu-Rong; Li, Zhen-Nan; Qiu, Ya-Yu; Yi, Zhuan; Gao, Cong-Jie

Evaporation is significantly important for the preparation of isoporous membranes from self-assembly and non-solvent induced phase separation (SNIPS). Unfortunately, the time of solvent evaporation that retains isoporous structures is usually rather short, which causes many challenges to fabricate membranes with repeatable and controllable isoporous structures. In the current work, we…

Precise Self-Assembly of Nanoparticles into Ordered Nanoarchitectures Directed by Tobacco Mosaic Virus Coat Protein

Zhang, Jianting; Zhou, Kun; Zhang, Yejun; Du, Mingming; Wang, Qiangbin

Self-assembly guided by biological molecules is a promising approach for fabricating predesigned nanostructures. Protein is one such biomolecule possessing deterministic 3D crystal structure and peptide information, which acts as a good candidate for templating functional nanoparticles (fNPs). However, inadequate coordination efficacy during the establishment of interfacial interactions with fNPs…

Alginate-coating of artemisinin-loaded cochleates results in better control over gastro-intestinal release for effective oral delivery

Shuddhodana; Judeh, Zaher

Development of new drug delivery systems for effective delivery of poorly water-soluble drugs is important. We report the development of cochleate-based formulation for the oral administration of poorly water-soluble artemisinin (ART). Cochleates offer great potential as vehicles for the oral delivery of ART due to their high drug encapsulation and…

Hierarchical self-assembly of 3D lattices from polydisperse anisometric colloids

Luo, Binbin; Kim, Ahyoung; Smith, John W.; Ou, Zihao; Wu, Zixuan; Kim, Juyeong; Chen, Qian

Anisometric colloids—which have both nanometer and micrometer dimensions—combine features of their two constituent length scales. Here, using optical microscopy and modeling, the authors find that highly polydisperse anisometric colloids self-assemble into 3D, periodic lattices in a manner hardly inaccessible to nano- or micron-scale…
