“…The IR spectra of the AP@NSIO composite separator retained the characteristic peaks of the AP matrix, indicating that the preparation of the NSIO sheath by immersion coating on the fiber surface of the AP matrix did not have a destructive effect on its molecular structure. In addition, the peak position of the stretching vibration of Si–O–Si in the sodium silicate molecule was located at 1016 cm –1 , which was close to the position of the characteristic peak of the carbohydrate structure of cellulose in the AP matrix, leading to the appearance of a broader characteristic peak at 860–1146 cm –1 . , …”

In comparison to the well-known separator of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), there are unique characteristics and requirements for the separator of sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) to affect the electrochemical performance and safety. In this work, a composite separator (AP@NSIO) is successfully fabricated by constructing a fully encapsulated sodium silicate (NSIO) ceramic sheath on the fiber surface of a low-cost, recyclable airlaid paper (AP) matrix using a facile solution immersion method. Due to the comprehensive coating of sodium silicate on the matrix fiber, the prepared AP@NSIO separator not only has excellent mechanical strength and remarkable wettability but also maintains thermal dimensional stability at 250 °C and is nonflammable in flames. Moreover, the AP@NSIO separator exhibits a high porosity of ∼50.6%, an electrolyte uptake of ∼298.9%, an ion conductivity of 2.02 mS cm −1 , and a sodium-ion transfer number of 0.91. The Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 (NVP)|AP@NSIO|Na battery has an excellent capacity retention of 94.2% (96.8 mAh g −1 ) after 300 cycles at a high current density of 5C and maintains almost 100% Coulombic efficiency. These results indicate that the AP@NSIO separator is a potential candidate for application in safe and high-performance SIBs, and a strategy is provided for designing functional separators for SIBs.

This paper reviews the mechanical performance of bamboo fiber reinforced polymer composites (BFRP) for structural applications. Bamboo fibers are very promising reinforcements for polymer composites production due to their high aspect ratio, renewability, environmentally friendly, non-toxicity, cheap cost, non-abrasives, full biodegradability, and strong mechanical performances. Besides, bamboo has its own prospects and good potential to be used in biopolymer composites as an alternative for petroleum-based materials to be used in several advanced applications in the building and construction industry. For bamboo fibre to be reinforced with polymer, they must have good interfacial bond between the polymer, as better fiber and matrix interaction results in good interfacial adhesion between fiber/matrix and fewer voids in the composite. Several important factors to improve matrix-fiber bonding and enhance the mechanical properties of BFRP are by fibre treatment, hybridisation, lamination, and using coupling agent. Moreover, mechanical properties of BFRP are greatly influenced by few factors, such as type of fibre and matrix used, fibre-matrix adhesion, fibre dispersion, fibre orientation, composite manufacturing technique used, void content in composites, and porosity of composite. In order to better understand their reinforcing potential, the mechanical properties of this material is critically discussed in this review paper. In addition, the advantages of bamboo fibers as the reinforcing phase in polymer composites is highlighted in this review paper. Besides that, the bamboo-based products such as laminated bamboo lumber (LBL), glued-laminated bamboo (glubam), hybrid bamboo polymer composites, parallel bamboo strand lumber (PBSL), parallel strand bamboo (PSB), bamboo-oriented strand board (BOSB), and bamboo-scrimber have lately been developed and used in structural applications.

“…Marine mussels can tightly attach to the surfaces of reefs, ships, and other materials under the impact of huge waves, showing remarkable adhesive properties. Biologists have discovered that the secret of mussels' ability to adhere to substrates is the action of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine [28,29]. The phenolic hydroxyl groups of the polyphenol structure are highly reactive, thus providing strong interfacial interactions.…”

Bioinspired Tannic Acid-Modified Coffee Grounds as Sustainable Fillers: Effect on the Properties of Polybutylene Adipate Terephthalate Composites

et al. 2023

Preparing composites from gricultural waste with biodegradable polymers is one of the strategies used to ensure the long-term sustainability of such materials. However, due to the differences in their chemical properties, biomass fillers often exhibit poor interfacial adhesion with polymer matrices. Inspired by mussel foot silk, this work focused on the surface modification of coffee grounds (CGs) using a combination of tannic acid (TA) and alkali treatment. CGs were used as a biomass filler to prepare polybutylene adipate terephthalate (PBAT)/CG composites. The modification of CGs was demonstrated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), the water contact angle, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The effect of CGs on the rheological, tensile, and thermal properties of the PBAT/CG composites was investigated. The results showed that the addition of CGs increased the complex viscosity, and the surface modification enhanced the matrix–filler adhesion. Compared with unmodified CG composites, the tensile strength and the elongation at break of the composite with TA-modified alkali-treated CGs increased by 47.0% and 53.6%, respectively. Although the addition of CGs slightly decreased the thermal stability of PBAT composites, this did not affect the melting processing of PBAT, which often occurs under 200 °C. This approach could provide a novel method for effectively using biomass waste, such as coffee grounds, as fillers for the preparation of polymer composites.
