“…Similarly, Cohen et al developed a PP film embedded with polymeric benzotriazole nanoparticle; it decreased UV transmission from 95% to 0% (Cohen et al 2017a). Nevertheless, most of organic UV protection agents are unstable and toxic (Koetke et al 2010); inorganic nanoparticles are easily agglomerated, which have a negative effect on the anti-ultraviolet performance of films (Althues et al 2007). All these problems limited the large-scale industrial production and wide practical applications of UV-blocking films.…”

As over exposure of the earth to ultraviolet (UV) light and increased amount of petroleum-based plastic waste, biodegradable UV-blocking materials are desired for diverse sustainable applications. Xylose residue, as the byproduct of xylitol production from corn cobs, is mainly composed of cellulose and lignin. Here, we develop a series of xylose residue films through a top-down approach (i.e., tunable delignification and regeneration) without any additional additives. The treated xylose residues with lignin content of 4.4-29.7% are used to prepare regenerated films, which exhibit excellent UV-blocking capability: 68.6-99.2% for UVB (290-320 nm) and 47.1-98.2% for UVA (320-400 nm). Moreover, these films remain a great optical transparency (50.6-86.6%) and show enhanced water vapor permeability (2.17-2.76 ×10 -11 g•cm•cm -2 •s -1 •mmHg -1 ), surface hydrophobicity (water contact angle=72.3-86.4°), and thermal stability. Overall, our sustainable UV-blocking films have potential applications in the fields of electronics, food packaging, and windshields, etc. This study provides new insights into converting xylose residue directly to high value-added functional bioproducts.

There are two possible solutions to avoid skin resorption of toxic industrial chemicals (TIC). An impermeable overgarment provides effective and reasonable protection, but it is naturally not breathable and presupposes physical stress for the wearer and thus limited work capabilities. In contrast, a semipermeable overgarment containing an adsorption layer currently based on activated carbon is more suitable, because it allows the transfer of corporal heat and dissipates perspiration from the skin. However, it cannot provide the same level of protection against all kinds of TIC. Consequently, an evaluation of the performance of a commercially available overgarment is presented in this study.
