Fig. 5: Self-Reinforcing behavior of PAOM.
From: Biomimetic self-reinforcing recyclable biomass-derived inherently-safe sustainable materials
A Schematic diagram of the self-reinforcement mechanism of PAOM. B Optimized molecular geometries and HOMO–LUMO energy levels for DDF (left) and photo-crosslinked system (right) by density functional theory calculation. C UV transmittance of PAOM films before and after UV irradiation (thickness: 0.3 mm). D UV resistance testing of PAOM under UV lamp. E, F Shielding efficiency at 400 nm and transmittance at 750 nm for both original and UV-irradiated films. G, H Tensile strength and elongation at break of original and UV-irradiated PAOM films. The bar represents the mean value for three individual experiments, and the error bar is the standard deviation based on three individual experiments. I, J Tensile strength of PAOM films and those after hygrothermal aging and electric field. The bar represents the mean value for three individual experiments, and the error bar is the standard deviation based on three individual experiments.
