Efficient Intermolecular Energy Exchange and Soft-ionization of Water at Nanoplatelet Interfaces
X-ray, energetic photon and electron irradiation can ionize and electronically excite target atoms and molecules. These excitations undergo complicated relaxation and energy transfer processes that ultimately determine the manifold of system responses to the deposited excess energy. In weakly bound gas- and solution-phase samples, intermolecular Coulomb decay (ICD) and electron-transfer mediated decay (ETMD) can occur with neighboring atoms or molecules leading to efficient transfer of the excess energy to the surroundings. In ionic solids such as metal-oxides, intra- and inter-atomic Auger decay produces localized final states that lead to lattice damage and typically removal of cations from the substrate. The relative importance of Auger stimulated damage (ASD) versus ICD and ETMD in micro-solvated nanoparticle interfaces is not known. Though ASD is generally expected, essentially no lattice damage and very efficient ICD and ETMD resulting from ionization and electronic excitation of micro-solvated boehmite (AlOOH) nanoplatelets has been observed. Efficient energy transfer and soft ionization of interfacial molecules is likely a general phenomenon at gas-oxyhydroxide nanoparticle interfaces where the density of states of the ionized chemisorbed species significantly overlap the core hole states of the solid.

Blending Polyurethane Thermosets Using Dynamic Urethane Exchange
Recycling crosslinked polyurethanes (PUs) is accomplished through mechanical or chemical processes that are energy-intensive or produce plastics of lesser value. Polymer recycling processes are notably intolerant of polymer mixtures, yet the ability to reprocess and compatibilize two or more crosslinked PUs together will make this process more amenable to mixed waste streams while offering an opportunity to tune the properties of the recycled polymer products. Here, we blend a rigid polyester PU and a soft polyether PU using twin-screw extrusion to yield materials with tunable mechanical properties based on the feed composition. Their material properties were compared to those of compression-molded reprocessed blends and blends where the monomers were mixed prior to synthesis. The extruded materials showed similar mechanical and thermal properties to newly prepared blends and had higher-value mechanical properties compared to the samples reprocessed via compression molding. The morphologies of the blends were observed using phase imaging via atomic force microscopy to show that there is less phase separation in the extruded materials compared to compression-molded blends. The mechanical properties of these materials were tunable from soft to elastomeric to rigid based on the feed composition, and this tunability was demonstrated through four consecutive reprocessing cycles, through which the mechanical properties were steadily varied from rigid to soft by incorporating increasing amounts of soft polyether PU material. Here, this blending method for reprocessing mixed waste compatibilizes different PUs and provides a means to tune the mechanical properties of a PU product, even if starting from waste streams of varying compositions. As such, this process represents an intriguing new approach for polymer reprocessing.
