“…The N 2 ‐pNPGC 4 exhibited one‐step weight loss ranging from 170 to 310 °C and the maximum differential weight loss occurred at 250 °C. This value was slightly lower than that of pure pNPGC . N‐pNPGC 3 showed weight loss at 240–350 °C and their maximum differential weight loss was about 50 °C higher than that of N 2 ‐pNPGC 4 .…”

Ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of monofunctional neopentylglycol carbonate (NPGC) with or without bifunctional di(trimethylolpropane) carbonate (DTMPC), which are derived from available corresponding alcohols, affords linear polycarbonates or covalently-linked polycarbonate networks, respectively. A series of available ethanol amine derivatives having the different numbers of 2-hydroxylethyl arms (N,N,N',N'-tetrakis(2-hydroxyethyl)ethylenediamine, triethanolamine, N-methyldiethanolamine or N,N-dimethylethanolamine) initiates the ROP of NPGC to afford star-shaped, telechelic, or linear polycarbonates bearing tertiary amines with well-controlled molecular weights and relatively narrow polydispersities Furthermore, the copolymerization of NPGC and DTMPC in the presence of these initiators readily gives tertiary amine-modified polycarbonate films with well transparency and flexibility. These amino groups are easily converted to ammonium salts by protonation with acids, while the quaternization with benzyl bromide is strongly affected by the steric hindrance of these amines. N-Methyldiethanolamine or N,N-dimethylethanolamine residues in these films react easily with benzyl bromide to give quaternary ammonium saltfunctionalized films.

“…By incorporating copper (Cu) or Ag nanoparticles, anti-microbial films or membranes from regenerated cellulose, bacterial cellulose, or cellulose derivatives can be prepared (Berndt et al 2013;Drogat et al 2010;Jia et al 2012;Xu et al 2013;Zheng et al 2014). Bober et al reported the preparation of antimicrobial biocomposites using nanofibrillated cellulose, polypyrrole, and Ag nanoparticles, which strongly inhibited the growth of Gram-positive bacteria, such as S. aureus (Bober et al 2014). By incorporating luminescent and fluorescent Ag nanoclusters into the nanocomposites of nanofibrillated cellulose, fluorescent and antibacterial films were obtained (Diez et al 2011).…”

As one of the most abundant natural materials in nature, cellulose has revealed enormous potential for the construction of functional materials thanks to its sustainability, non-toxicity, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. Among many fascinating applications, functional surfaces based on cellulose-derived materials have attracted increasing interest recently, as platforms for diagnostics, sensoring, robust catalysis, water treatment, ultrafiltration, and anti-microbial surfaces. This mini-review attempts to cover the general methodology for the fabrication of functional cellulose surface and a few popular applications including bioactive and non-adhesive (i.e., anti-fouling and anti-microbial) surfaces.

“…In addition, using silver nitrate as a direct oxidant of Py monomer for the production of conducting PPy/Ag composites has been reported . PPy/Ag composites loading on oxide metal, fabric cotton, cellulose, or polymer membrane has been discussed. In this single‐step process, reduction of Ag + to the metal on the PPy surface was found to be caused by the redox reaction between the positively charged and growing Py chains.…”

The present study demonstrates a simple approach to the formation of polypyrrole/montmorillonite/silver (PPy/Mt/Ag) composites via in situ oxidative polymerization of pyrrole (Py) in the presence of AgNO3 acting as a direct oxidant. The polymerization was performed in the presence of dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid, which acts as a stabilizing and doping agent. The morphological, structural, and thermal properties of PPy/Mt/Ag composites are discussed in detail and a possible formation mechanism is proposed. The electrical conductivities of the composites pressed at different pressing pressures were investigated using four‐probe analyzer. X‐ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy results indicated the partially exfoliated structure of the composites and Fourier transforms infrared results suggested the strong interactions between SiOSi groups in Mt and NH groups in PPy chains. The addition of Mt in the PPy polymer enhanced thermal property of the polymer. The conductivity of 1.08 S cm−1 was observed in the sample with 20 wt % Mt loading and applied pressure of 5 MPa. The composites obtained in the present study catalyze the reduction of methylene blue by sodium borohydride, achieving 92% conversion of MB to colorless within a few minutes. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
