This study presents an estimation of the mechanical property enhancing mechanism of electrospun-nanofiber-blended cementitious materials. Four types of electrospun nanofibers (NFs) were introduced into Portland cement: nylon 66 nanofibers, tetraethyl orthosilicate/polyvinylpyrrolidone nanofibers (TEOS/PVP), hybrid nanofibers containing carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and nylon 66, and hybrid nanofibers containing carbon nanotubes and TEOS/PVP (CNTs-TEOS/PVP NFs). Due to the mechanical strength results, there was an increase of 27.3% and 33.4% in compressive strength when adding TEOS/PVP nanofibers and the hybrid nanofibers containing carbon nanotubes and TEOS/PVP into the pastes, respectively. In addition, there was an increase of 25.7% and 54.3% in tensile strength when adding nylon 66 nanofibers and the hybrid nanofibers containing carbon nanotubes and nylon 66 into the pastes, respectively. The highest toughness of 61.7% was obtained by the paste blended with CNTs-TEOS/PVP NFs. The results observed from scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis clarified the change in the microstructure of the modified pastes, as well as the mechanical property enhancing mechanism of the electrospun-nanofiber-blended cementitious materials.

A series of cross-linked polyurethane(PU) elastomer samples with various crosslink density were synthesized from polyether diol(PPG2000), 4,4’-diphenylmethane diisocyanate(MDI), 1,4-butanediol(BDO) , trimethylolpropane (TMP) and glycerin. The cross-linking density of the PU elastomers was calculated by Flory–Rehner equation. The degree of hydrogen bonding, the microstructure and the morphologies of these PU materials were characterized by means of FT-IR, DSC and DMA. The experimental results showed that the PU elastomers containing a small amount of crosslink agent ( TMP or glycerin ) may make tanδ to a very low value above the ambient temperature. The PU elastomer samples using glycerin as curing agent can make tanδ to a low value in a lower temperature compared with the ones using TMP as curing agent.

Self-healing coatings or materials have received significant importance in paint, coating, and other industries, as well as in academia, because of their capability to extend materials service life, improving protection, and ensuring sustainability. This review article emphasizes significant advances accomplished in the preparation and properties of intrinsic self-healing materials exclusively based on hydrogen bonding interactions, with possible applications in coatings and adhesives. The main topic of discussion in this review article is the preparation, healing conditions, healing efficiency, and mechanical property recovery after healing. The last part of the review discusses the conclusions and outlook of self-healing materials.

A novel antibacterial material was prepared by electrospining polyurethane (PU) containing TiO2-Ag nanoparticles in this study. The average diameter of PU electrospun nanofibers decreased with increasing concentration of TiO2-Ag.These nanofibers membrane showed high antibacterial activities against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, respectively. The mixed mode of PU electrospun fibers and TiO2-Ag nanoparticles was a physical form. The addition of TiO2-Ag did not affect the mechanical property of the mat much.
