Achieving a synergy of biocompatibility and extreme environmental adaptability with excellent mechanical property remains challenging in the development synthetic materials. Herein, "bottom-up" solution-interface-induced self-assembly strategy is adopted to develop compressible, anti-fatigue, environment adaptable, biocompatible, recyclable organohydrogel composed chitosan-lignosulfonate-gelatin by constructing noncovalent bonded conjoined network. The ethylene glycol/water solvent induced lignosulfonate nanoparticles function as bridge chitosan/gelation network, forming multiple interfacial interactions that can effectively dissipate energy. exhibits high compressive strength (54 MPa) toughness (3.54 MJ/m3), 100 70 times higher than those pure chitosan/gelatin hydrogel, meanwhile, self-recovery fatigue resistance properties. Even when subjected severe compression up strain 0.5 for 500,000 cycles, still intact. This also demonstrates notable both vivo vitro, at low temperature, well recyclability. Such all natural provides promising route towards high-performance load-bearing Development load bearing materials important, but it be achieve required Here, authors report an from biobased materials, favourable toughness.

The Catalytic Valorization of Lignin from Biomass for the Production of Liquid Fuels

Energies, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 18(6), С. 1478 - 1478

Опубликована: Март 17, 2025

With the overuse of fossil fuels, people are looking for alternatives. This is an area where biofuels have received a lot attention. Studies also shown that large variety liquid fuels commercial interest can be obtained via lignin valorization. Lignin rich in aromatic ring structures and used as sustainable raw material to produce high-value energy. Therefore, progress preparation from by pyrolysis, hydro-processing, oxidation analyzed this review. Nevertheless, due three-dimension network structure lignin, there many barriers need surmounted before utilizing it, such its complex connection with cellulose hemicellulose, which makes separation difficult. In paper, different pretreatment methods summarized separating other two components. Finally, challenges future trends valorization outlined. It clear construction efficient catalytic systems will focus research field.

An Ultrastrong and Ultraflexible Wood Veneer via Fiber Interaction Enhancement and Defect Reduction

ACS Nano, Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Май 1, 2025

Natural wood veneer is a flexible and sustainable material with significant potential for various applications. However, there are more defects in veneer, leading to lower strength, the strengthening strategies currently used blocks do not work well when applied veneer. In this study, we processed fragile into an ultrastrong ultraflexible tensile strength of 578.4 MPa preserved its beautiful texture. This enhancement achieved by reducing within through adding cellulose molecules between cell fibers. The resulting exceedingly compared natural wood, bending radius as small 0.2 mm, while retaining strength. flexibility allows be wrapped around other materials improves mechanical properties. exhibits much signal attenuation carbon fiber fabric composites due electromagnetic transparency. Moreover, environmental impact producing each kilogram less than that material. These ultrastrong, ultraflexible, properties can enrich family lightweight, high-strength enable wide range
