Catalytic Hydrogenation of Alkali Lignin to Bio-oil Using Fullerene-like Vanadium Sulfide
The catalytic conversion of alkali lignin to chemicals has been the subject of intense research efforts during the past few decades. In thisstudy, VS2 catalysts, with different morphologies of sheets and nanoflowers, were prepared through hydrothermal methods and applied to the hydrogenation of alkali lignin. The conversion of alkali lignin and yield of bio-oil are 77.02 and 5...

[RSC Advances] Fabricating Morphology Tunable Patterned Bio-inspired Polydopamine Film Directly via Microcontact Printing
A robust and simple
strategy of microcontact printingis provided to fabricatemicro-patterned
polydopamine (PDA) films with tunablemorphology achieved by altering the
concentration of PDA “ink” solution.Photoactive sites on the surface of patternedPDAfilms
allow the furthergrowth ofpolymer brushes by self-initiated photografting and
photopolymerization (SIPGP)endowing the bio-inspired PDA fi...

Synthesis of fully alternating polycarbonate with low Tg from carbon dioxide and bio-based fatty acid
The selective copolymerization of CO2 and an epoxide to form fully alternating polycarbonates is a great challenge via catalysis with the zinc–cobalt(III) double metal cyanide complex [Zn–Co(III) DMCC]. We describe the first perfectly alternating copolymerization of CO2 with a bio-based epoxide. The resultant polycarbonate had a low Tgs of 38 to 44 C and two end hydroxyl grou...

JMaterChemB--Self-assembly of amphiphilic peptides into bio-functionalized nanotubes: a novel hydrolase model
Herein, we report the construction of a novel hydrolase model via self-assembly of a synthetic amphiphilic short peptide (Fmoc-FFH-CONH2) into nanotubes. The peptide-based self-assembled nanotubes (PepNTs-His) with imidazolyl groups as the catalytic centers exhibit high catalytic activity for p-nitrophenyl acetate (PNPA) hydrolysis. By replacement of the histidine of Fmoc-FFH-CONH2with arginine to...

(Soft Matter) Directional shedding-off of water on natural/bio-mimetic taper-ratchet array surfaces
Surfaces that control fluids are important in self-cleaning, liquid-transport and cell-directing. They are significantly observed on biological surfaces that control wettability and adhesion by means of micro-/nanostructures, and have aroused interest in foundational and biomimetic research. Here, we report a novel taper-ratchet array on ryegrass leaf. It integrates a gradient of retention at soli...

(Adv. Funct. Mater.) Bio-inspired Heterostructured Fibers with Bead-on-String to Respond the Environmental Wetting
Inspired by the geometric structure of ecribellate spider capture silk and its spinning characteristics, we propose a one-step electrohydrodynamic method to fabricate bead-on-string heterostructured fi bers (BSHFs). By combining electrospinning and electrospraying strategies using a sprayable outer fluid with low viscosity and a spinnable inner fl uid with high viscosity in a coaxial jetting proce...

(Adv. Mater.) Direction Controlled Driving of Tiny Water Drops on Bio-inspired Artificial Spider Silks
Inspired by the spider silk, we fabricated a series of artifi cial spider silks with spindle-knots in which the chemical compositions and surface nanostructures were subtly designed. Our investigations demonstrated that tiny water drops (tens of picoliters) could be driven with controllable direction (“toward” or “away from” the knot) by optimizing the cooperation of curvat...

J. Mater. Chem. 2012, 22, 8257. "Bio-inspired adhesive superhydrophobic polyimide mat with high thermal stability"
Superhydrophobic surface with strong solid/liquid adhesion is considered to be of great fundamental and technological importance. However, the fabrication of adhesive superhydrophobic polymer surfaces with high thermal stability is rare, which limits the utilization of such surfaces in harsh environment. This paper illustrates a simple one-step electrospinning way to produce adhesive superhydropho...

Bio-based green composites with high performance from poly(lactic acid) and surface-modified microcrystalline cellulose
ABSTRACT: Bio-based green composites with high performance were prepared from poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and microcrystalline cellulose (MC) fibers grafted with L-lactic acid oligomers (g-MC). The chemical structure of g-MC was characterized by FTIR and NMR methods, which indicate that L-lactic acid oligomers were successfully grafted onto microcrystalline cellulose. The grafting percentage of L-la...
