Abstract: A cellulose nanocrystalline suspension was obtained from cotton fibers by a modified acid hydrolysis method, and then the conductive composites were prepared through in situ chemical oxidative polymerization of pyrrole monomers on the surface of cellulose nano?bers.The resulting composites were characterizated and indicated the composites possessed a good core-shell structure, and the interaction between polypyrrole and nanocellulose crystal was benefited to the formation of polypyrrole thin layers on the surface of the nanocellulose crystals. It is also been demonstrated that the organic dopant, such as DBSNa with a large molecular weight reduced the intermolecular forces. Compared with those for the inorganic dopant such as NaCl, the composites exhibited a lower electrical, but higher thermal stability and especially larger electrochemical capacitance. These above results showed conductive polypyrrole-nanocellulose crystal composites have a potential application as a electrode materials in the super-capacitor.

Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers were fabricated via electrospinning technique, and the modified Fe-polyacrylonitrile nanofibers photocatalysts(Fe-AO-n-PAN) were prepared by a reaction between PAN nanofibers (AO-n-PAN) containing amidoxime group and ferric chloride and characterized using SEM and FTIR techniques. Finally, Fe-AO-n-PAN were used as heterogeneous catalysts for the oxidative degradation reaction of Reactive Red 195(RR 195) in water. Some factors affecting the degradation of azo dye such as catalyst loading (QFe-PAN), irradiation intensity, and H2O2 initial concentration were investigated with respect to the decoloration percentage. Additionally, the oxidative degradation of azo dye was examined by UV-Vis spectrum method and total organic carbon (TOC) measurement. The results indicated that amidoxime groups of AO-PAN were able to ligate ferric ions in solution, and increasing amidoxime groups led to the high QFe-PAN catalysts. Moreover, increasing QFe-PAN and enhancing irradiation led to high degradation rate. Fe-AO-n-PAN showed high photocatalytic activity in the solution when the initial concentration of H2O2 is at 3.0 mmol/L. UV-Vis spectrometry and TOC analysis demonstrated that the aromatic parts and conjugated structures of the dye were decomposed and gradually mineralized during its degradation under the photocatalysis of Fe-AO-n-PAN.

The high-temperature and low-temperature protective clothing are used in two different environments with a larger temperature difference. This paper aims to discuss the differences and similarities of the insulation performance between commonly used high-temperature and low-temperature protective clothing. The results indicated that high-temperature and low-temperature protective clothing are both required to have good insulation performance. Sections in the chest and back, buttocks and abdomen, arms and thighs of the clothing have higher thermal resistance. Fabric and clothing insulation performance have some differences between different types of high-temperature and low-temperature protective clothing. In this paper, high-temperature protective clothing achieves the purpose of protection mainly through insulating environment heat radiation and conduction, and environmental radiant heat comes to the core of the matter. Low-temperature protective clothing, however, achieve the purpose of protection by preventing the body heat from passing to the environment. The insulation performance of the high-temperature and low-temperature protective clothing is not only primarily determined by the fabric, but also the structure design of garment.
