The result showed that the polymer-supported β-CD could accelerate the hydrolytic reaction of p-NPA morequickly than β-CD itself and crosslinked poly(acrylamide-co-vinylamine) alone. The acceleration rate of the polymer-supported β-CD was about 10 times as fast as that of free β-CD in 0.01 mol/L phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) containing 32%DMSO at 37±0.1℃ when the molar amount of β-CD units in the polymer was equal to that of free β-CD in the experiments.The enhanced acceleration of thc polymer-supported β-CD should be ascribed to the cooperative contribution of theinclusion effect of β-CD ring and the nucleophilic effect of amino groups on the polymeric support.展开更多

The results show that the ABCP is a semicompatible system and the compatibility of the two components decreases with increasing content of the hard segment. The mechanical and damping properties of the ABCP are obviously superior to that of their homopolymers. The damping value is mainly controlled by cross[ink density of the ABCP but the T-g value by component.展开更多

The rotation motion of --CH_3 sidegroup in PPU was analyzed by means of the average spectral density functions of internal rota-tion. The results showed that the rotation of the --CH_3 side group is related closely to the com-patibility between the two components. The compatibility was studied by analyzing the protonspin-lattice relaxation in rotating frame, spin-spin relaxation and spin-diffusion. The resultsshowed that the hydrogen bonds between the components play a major role in determining thecompatibility. Through spin diffusion studying, the soft phase domain size was calculated. Bystudying proton spin-spin relaxation, the content of each component in each phase and that ofeach phase in the samples can be obtained. The result shows that the content of interphase is related closely to the compatibility.展开更多

However, the mechan...Gel polymer electrolytes(GPEs) are considered to be one most promising alternative to liquid electrolytes due to their suitability for creating safe and durable solid-state lithium-metal batteries. However, the mechanical properties of GPEs usually deteriorate dramatically when polymer matrices are plasticized by a liquid electrolyte, which leads to significant loss of battery performance. Therefore, the long-term structural integrity and good mechanical strength are critical characteristics of GPEs designed for highperformance batteries. Here, an ecologically compatible cellulose-based GPE with a crosslinked structure is synthesized via a facile and effective thiol-ene click chemistry method. The prepared thiol-ene crosslinked GPE possesses enhanced mechanical strength(10.95 MPa) and rigid structure, which enabled us to fabricate Li Fe PO_(4)|Li batteries with ultra-long cycling performance. The capacity retention of the crosslinked cellulose-based GPE can be up to 84% at 0.5 C, even after 350 cycles, which is considerably higher than that of non-crosslinked GPE for which rapid decline in capacity occurs after 200 cycles. In addition, a GPE preparation method described in this work compares favorably well with existing commercial electrolytes for lithium metal batteries.展开更多
