Controllable Fabrication of Zinc Borate Hierarchical Nanostructure on Brucite Surface for Enhanced Mechanical Properties and Flame Retardant Behaviors
A novel and efficient halogen-free
composite flame retardant (CFR)
consisting of a brucite core and a fine zinc borate [Zn<sub>6</sub>OÂ(OH)Â(BO<sub>3</sub>)<sub>3</sub>] hierarchical nanostructure shell
was designed and synthesized via a facile nanoengineering route. It
had been demonstrated that this unique hybrid structure possessed
a high BET specific surface area (65 m<sup>2</sup>/g) and could significantly
enhance the interfacial interaction when mixing with ethylene-vinyl
acetate (EVA). This improved the transfer of stress between CFR particles
and EVA matrix and increased the viscosity of EVA/EVA blends, which
was beneficial for droplet inhibition and char forming. The mechanical
properties and flammability behaviors of the EVA/CFR blends had been
compared with the EVA/physical mixture (PM, with the given proportion
of brucite and Zn<sub>6</sub>OÂ(OH)Â(BO<sub>3</sub>)<sub>3</sub>). The
mechanical properties of EVA/CFR blends, especially the tensile strength
(TS), presented a remarkable increase reaching at least a 20% increment.
Meanwhile, with the same 45 wt % of fillers, the EVA/CFR formulation
could achieve a limiting oxygen index (LOI) value of 33 (37.5 % higher
than that of EVA/PM blends) and UL-94 V-0 rating. Moreover, the heat
release rate (HRR), peak heat release rate (PHRR), total heat released
(THR), smoke production rate (SPR) and mass loss rate (MLR) were considerably
reduced, especially PHRR and SPR for EVA/CFR blends were reduced to
32%. According to this study, the design of fine structure might pave
the way for the future development of halogen-free flame retardants
combining both enhanced mechanical properties and excellent flame
retardant behaviors
DataSheet_2_Analysis of terpenoids and their gene regulatory networks on the basis of the transcriptome and metabolome of Opisthopappus longilobus.xlsx
Opisthopappus longilobus, which is a unique wild plant resource in China, produces leaves and flowers with distinct aromas. However, there have been relatively few molecular studies on its floral aroma, which has hindered the research on this plant species at the molecular level and the breeding of novel varieties. In this study, transcriptome and metabolome analyses were performed using O. longilobus leaves, buds, and inflorescences at the exposure, initial opening, and blooming stages. Using high-quality reads and assembly software, a total of 45,674 unigenes were annotated according to the Nr, Swiss-Prot, KOG, and KEGG databases. Additionally, a GC-MS system and a self-built database were used to detect 1,371 metabolites in the leaves, buds, and inflorescences. Terpene metabolites were the most common compounds (308 in total). We analyzed the gene network regulating terpenoid accumulation in O. longilobus and identified 56 candidate genes related to terpenoid synthesis. The expression of OlPMK2, OlMVK1, OlTPS1, and OlTPS3 may lead to the accumulation of 11 different terpenoids specifically in the inflorescences at the exposure, initial opening, and blooming stages. The generated data may be useful for future research on O. longilobus genetic resources and the molecular mechanism regulating aroma formation in this plant species. The findings of this study may be used to accelerate the breeding of new O. longilobus varieties with enhanced aromatic traits.</p
