Summary: This study utilized the long-chain branched (LCB) structure in the polyamide 6 (PA6) matrix to prepare low-density microcellular PA6 composite foams with favorable cell morphology. The effects of LCB degree on the rheological behavior, crystallization rate, and gas solubility of CO2 in the PA6 composites were investigated. High-performance PA6 composite foams with small cell size, high cell density, and wide foaming temperature window were successfully obtained through continuous extrusion foaming.

Summary: Increasing platform temperature and nozzle temperature can improve the mechanical properties of FFF-printed parts to some extent and reduce the mechanical anisotropy of the PA12 parts. The mechanical anisotropy of FFF-printed PA12 parts is determined by molecular diffusion at the weld zone rather than by crystallization behavior.

Summary: The study compared high-pressure crystallization and polymorphic composition between long-chain branched polypropylene (LCB-PP) and linear isotactic polypropylene (PP). It found that LCB-PP crystallizes at a higher temperature than PP under low pressure, but the opposite occurs under high pressure. LCB-PP tends to crystallize into orthorhombic gamma-form, while PP does not form pure gamma-form samples.

Summary: The influence of irradiation dose, TMPTMA amount, and PP molecular weight on the performance of irradiation technique to create LCB-PP was investigated. Increasing doses or TMPTMA amount led to a reduction in molar mass and an increment in LCBs number, as well as a change in the topology of LCBs. The tensile strength and toughness of irradiated PP samples were controlled by the opposing effects of molar mass reduction and LCBs formation.

Summary: This study investigated the crystallization behaviors of two different high-melt-strength polypropylene resins using a novel high-pressure visualization system, and found that crystal growth rates and nucleation densities increase with higher applied shear stress but reach an optimum value with increasing CO2 pressure. By selectively choosing processing conditions, observable critical size nuclei can be enhanced and CO2 exclusion from crystal growth front can be achieved, allowing for easy control over overall crystallization kinetics through induced-shear stress and pressurized CO2.

Summary: In this study, the efficiency of graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) as a nucleating agent for high-density polyethylene (HDPE) is investigated. The value of Delta sigma for HDPE+GNP is calculated to be 0.83 +/- 0.18 erg/cm(2). This value is only 2.8 times larger than that reported for HDPE nucleated heterogeneously on a HDPE fiber, and much smaller than many of the best nucleating agents reported for other polymers.

Summary: In this study, a series of copolyester fibers based on terephthalic acid (PTA), ethylene glycol (EG), and L-Lactide (L-LA) were prepared. The resulting PETLA fibers exhibited tunable structure and properties due to the synergistic effects of the chemical structure and the drawing process. The breaking strength of the PETLA fibers dropped from 5.3 cN/dtex of PET to 2.8 cN/dtex of PET85LA15, which still met the requirements of most textile applications. Therefore, this work presents a feasible approach to prepare bio-based polyester fibers with tunable properties.

Summary: This work developed TiO2-loaded lignin-derived carbon nanofibers (TiO2@LCNFs) using electrospinning, per-oxidation, and carbonization. The study systematically investigated the effects of TiO2 content, carbonization temperature, initial RhB concentration, and solution pH value on photocatalytic efficiency. Under optimized conditions, TiO2@LCNFs achieved up to 86% photocatalytic efficiency and excellent cycling stability for rhodamine B. The superior catalytic property of TiO2@LCNFs is attributed to the synergistic effect of uniform TiO2 distribution on fiber surface and good electrical conductivity of LCNFs.

Summary: Polystyrene-block-poly(ethylene-ran-butylene)-blockpolystyrene (SEBS)/carbon nanotube (CNTs)/stearyl acrylate (SA) fibers with strain and temperature dual response were prepared using wet spinning and UV photopolymerization. The fiber sensor exhibited excellent sensitivity for strain sensing (gauge factor of 310.3) and wide strain response range (> 400%). It also had satisfactory thermal response (1.744% degrees C-1) between 10 and 30 degrees C. The double response of strain and temperature in one flexible sensor opens up new possibilities for its use in complex scenes.

Summary: Crosslinking affects the mechanical behavior and tissue metabolism of collagen-based tissues. Aging and diabetes alter the crosslinking type and density, thus changing tissue properties. High-connectivity enzymatic crosslinking and advanced-glycation end-products result in uniform deformation under daily activity, while low-connectivity enzymatic crosslinking does not. High-connectivity model displays more sliding, while AGEs induce instability in structures near the binding sites.
