Abstract Poly (vinyl chloride)(PVC), as the second general plastic just following the product
of polyethylene (PE), has been widely applied in building, electrical parts, automobile …

Plasticizers are additives that are used to impart flexibility to polymer blends and improve
their processability. Plasticizers are typically not covalently bound to the polymers, allowing …

Usually a surface or an interface is well-defined with little diffusion from one side of the
surface or interface to the other, with the length scale being on the order of one to several …

Vanillic acid (VA), an abundant renewable biomaterial derived from lignin, has been
employed as a new building skeleton to formulate esters. These esters with different alkyl …

Adsorption of surfactants to fluid interfaces occurs in numerous technological and daily-life
contexts. The coverage at the interface and other properties of the formed adsorption layers …

Woody oil is extracted from the fruits or seeds of woody plants. Preparing woody oil based
and biodegradable plasticizer via solvent-free Diels-Alder reaction can reduce plasticizer …

The development of electroactive polymers (EAPs) affords novel integrated actuation and
sensing technologies for intelligent flexible systems, enabling them to achieve remarkable …

5-Hydroxymethyl-2-furancarboxylic acid (HFCA), a promising biomonomer from renewable
resources, was used to synthesize two bio-based plasticizers, namely, hexyl 5 …

Tethering peptides and proteins to abiotic surfaces has the potential to create biomolecule-
functionalized surfaces with useful properties. Commonly used methods of immobilization …

A new bio‐based plasticizer, VA8‐8, was prepared derived from vanillic acid, and its
structure was verified by nuclear magnetic resonance. It was incorporated into poly (vinyl …
