Application of poly(lactic acid)-grafted cellulose nanofibers as both inhibitor and reinforcement for 3D-printable tough polydicyclopentadiene composites via frontal ring-opening metathesis polymerization

Facile Utilization of Renewable Resources Containing Cyclobutene Mechanophores: Preparation and Properties of High-Toughness Materials with One-Step Cross-Linking by Frontal Ring-Opening Metathesis Polymerization

“…The high toughness of caryophyllene and DCPD copolymers is attributed to the contribution of the cyclobutane ring structure in caryophyllene, compared with other copolymerization systems of DCPD. − In addition, when the proportion of caryophyllene is high (75%), the system still maintains the rapid prototyping characteristics of DCPD. The frontal polymerization method with low energy consumption and high efficiency can be used to produce products, which is suitable for three-dimensional (3D) printing and manufacturing parts. − This work can attach importance to the structural advantages of terpene natural products, providing a new method for the efficient use of renewable resources.…”

Improved interfacial adhesion of carbon fiber‐reinforced polydicyclopentadiene layered composite material by modification of norbornene derivatives

“…[7][8][9][10][11] (Figure 1) Due to the extensively crosslinked macromolecular arrangement inherent to PDCPD, the polymer material demonstrates considerable notch-impact resistance 12 while concurrently exhibiting elevated temperature 8 and corrosion resistance 13 in addition to considerable stability when confronted with chemical agents. These properties have enabled the utilization of PDCPD in aerospace composites, 14 3D printing filaments, 15 medical devices, 16 renewable energy applications, infrastructure reinforcement, and fiber-reinforced composites. 17 PDCPD is an appealing alternative composite matrix due to its lower viscosity (≈10 cPs) enabling faster infiltration of fibers 18 and its impact resistance conferred by reduced brittleness compared to epoxy and polyester resins currently dominating the market.…”

A robust and efficient lipase based nanobiocatalyst for phenothiazinyl-ethanol resolution

“…18 Polyvinyl alcohol attracts particular interest for wound dressings, since it is highly hydrophilic and can be easily cross-linked. 19 Taking into account these properties, a combination of the two polymers may lead to electrospun nanofibers with improved properties (increased mechanical strength, thermal stability and swelling ability [20][21][22][23][24][25] ) as a matrix for enzyme immobilization.…”
