“…A wide range of polymers, from thermally stable heterocyclic polymers in films and in bulk to polymer hydrogels, has been the subject of investigations in the context of being matrices for nanocomposite formation. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] Of a variety of nanofillers used to form nanocomposite materials, metal oxides have been popular, because they can improve the mechanical characteristics, and the electrical and transport properties, of the composites. [8][9][10][11][12] Cerium dioxide is a promising, but as yet poorly studied, metal oxide nanofiller.…”

The unusual effect of selective enhancement of the thermal stability of aromatic polyimide materials was established through the introduction of cerium dioxide nanoparticles into these polymers as nanofiller. Depending on the chemical structure of the polymers, a marked increase or a substantial decrease in the thermal stability of the nanocomposite material was registered by thermal analysis, as compared with that of unfilled polymer material. The positive effect was registered only for the composite materials based on the matrix polyimides containing the sulfur atoms located in the sulfonic groups arranged in the elementary units. The results of the thermogravimetric examination are compared with the data obtained during the mechanical tests of the same samples. The possible reasons for the alteration of the thermal stability of polymers by ceria nanoparticles are discussed. The effect above can be of substantial practical interest providing new options for the design of polyimide nanocomposite materials with enhanced thermal stability.

“…Since NC has high crystallinity and low impurities, its mechanical properties are extremely high over steel and titanium . NC has been well recognized as reinforcing materials of polymer composites . Moving away from the use of NC as reinforcing materials, once NC is utilized for long filament that can maintain the superior mechanical properties of NC, then the NC‐based filament can be used for strengthening natural fiber reinforced polymers (NFRP) composites, which are environment‐friendly and high strength composites .…”

This article reports an esterified polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)‐lignin resin that is applicable for natural fiber reinforced polymer composites. To meet the requirement for the composites, a biopolymer‐based resin is necessary, which should well interact with the natural fiber with good waterproof behavior. By mimicking the relationship between cellulose, lignin and hemicellulose in wood, the esterified PVA‐lignin resin with maleic acid is provided. The preparation and characterization of the environment‐friendly resin are illustrated in this article. 180 °C of esterification reaction temperature and 40% of maleic acid contents are shown to be an optimum condition for the preparation of the resin. The esterified PVA‐lignin resin exhibits 13, 31, and 55% increase of its tensile strength, toughness, and failure strength, respectively. The water contact angle of the esterified PVA‐lignin resin is improved from 0 to 57°. The prepared resin is originally thermoplastic composite and it turned to be a thermoset resin by the esterification reaction at 180 °C, which is beneficial for composite processing. The developed resin is applicable for environment‐friendly and high strength‐natural fiber reinforced polymer composites. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2020, 137, 48836.

“…Biopolymers, such as cellulose, chitin, silk, starch, and bacterial‐derived polysaccharides, have attracted intense attention in recent decades due to their extensive availability, sustainability as well as biocompatibility and biodegradability . In particular, directly utilizing these natural nanobiopolymers as starting materials to create novel structural and functional materials will be an optimal choice.…”

Living organisms produced nanopolymers (nanobiopolymers for short), such as nanocellulose, nanochitin, nanosilk, nanostarch, and microbial nanobiopolymers, having received widely scientific and engineering interests in recent years. Compare with petroleum-based polymers, biopolymers are sustainable and biodegradable. The unique structural features that stem from nanosized effects, such as ultrahigh aspect ratio and length-diameter ratio, further endow nanobiopolymers with high transparence and versatile processability. To fabricate these nanobiopolymers, a variety of mechanical, chemical, and synthetic biology techniques have been developed. The applications of the isolated nanobiopolymers have been extended from polymer fillers into wide emerging high-tech fields, such as biomedical devices, bioplastics, display panels, ultrafiltration membranes, energy storage devices, and catalytic supports. Accordingly, in the review, the authors first introduce isolation techniques to fabricate nanocellulose, nanochitin, nanosilk, and nanostarch. Then, the authors summarized the nanobiopolymers produced from biosynthetic pathway, including microbial polyamides, polysaccharides, and polyesters. On the other hand, most of these techniques require high energy consumption and usage of chemical reagents. In this regard, life cycle assessment offered a quantitative route to precisely evaluate and compare environmental benefits of different artificial isolation approaches, which are also summarized in the second section of the review.
