Exploring the Ionic Mechanochemical Coupling Effects in the Swelling Behavior of Hydrogels Based on the Interaction Parameter
- First Published: 09 March 2025

The swelling of hydrogels was initially composed of the polymer network deformation energy and the mixing free energy suggested by Flory and Rehner. Based on the classical Flory-Rehner theoretical framework, recent studies have shown that hydrogels in salt solutions also need to analyze the role of ions. In this study, an extended Flory-Rehner model is formulated to describe the ionic mechanochemical coupling effects in the free swelling of hydrogels, of which the chains and ions reactions are controlled by reaction kinetics. The free energy of swelling hydrogels is considered to include network deformation energy, mixing energy, and ion energy. The effect of ion concentration and reaction on the free swelling of hydrogels is considered to be an ionic mechanochemical coupling effect, which significantly changes the Flory-Huggins interaction parameters.

4-Perchloratobutyl Acrylate, a New Monomer for Self-Crosslinking Thermosetting Acrylic Resins
- First Published: 10 March 2025

4-Perchlorato-butyl acrylate (pCBA) is synthesized and copolymerized with short-chain alkyl acrylates (Me, Et, nBu) to form a 1 K polyacrylate binder. Thermal curing at 105°C–135°C gives a thermoset by transesterification of perchlorate and alkyl ester, resulting in a butylene crosslink connecting two acrylic esters and volatile alkyl perchlorates that evaporate from the resin.

- First Published: 24 March 2025

As a stabilizer, 0.00078 mol/L CTAB can stabilize XNBR latex with sodium acrylate. At the concentration of AANa in XNBR of 5.2 wt%, the surface resistance decreases to 107 Ω at 50% humidity. The surface resistance is 107–108 Ω after 10 washes. The tensile strength and elongation at break are 4.19 MPa and 482.95%, respectively.

High-Flux Thin Film Composite Membranes Prepared by Interfacial Polymerization With Pyridine or Pyrimidine Structured Diamines as Aqueous Phase Monomers for Efficient Organic Solvent Nanofiltration
- First Published: 18 March 2025

High-flux thin film composite organic solvent nanofiltration membranes were prepared by interfacial polymerization with pyridine or pyrimidine structured diamine monomers instead of traditional MPD monomers. The results showed that the TFC-Pd and TFC-Pm membranes have higher permeability than conventional TFC membranes, and their EB rejection was more than 90%. Moreover, they also have good organic solvent resistance and long-term stability.
