Fixed cell samples on 12 mm round coverglass were incubated in monomer solution (1× PBS, 2 M NaCl, 2.5% (w/w) acrylamide, 0.15% (w/w) N,N’-methylenebisacrylamide, 8.625% (w/w) sodium acrylate) for ~1 minute at room temperature prior to gelation. Concentrated stocks of ammonium persulfate (APS) and tetramethylethylenediamine (TEMED) at 10% (w/w) in water were diluted in monomer solution to concentrations of 0.2% (w/w) for gelation, with the initiator (APS) added last. The gelation solution (~70 µl) was placed in a 1 mm deep, 1 cm diameter Teflon well and the coverglass was placed on top of the solution with cells face down. Gelation was allowed to proceed at room temperature for 30 min. The coverglass and gel were removed with tweezers and placed in digestion buffer (1× TAE buffer, 0.5% Triton X-100, 0.8 M guanidine HCl) containing 8 units/mL Proteinase K (EO0491, Thermo or P8107S, New England BioLabs, Ipswich, MA, USA) added freshly. Unless otherwise indicated, gels were digested at 37 °C for various amounts of time as follows: MA-treated cells were digested overnight, GA-treated cells were digested for 30 min to 1 h, and fluorescent protein samples were digested for 30 min maximum. The gels (sometimes still attached to the coverglass) were removed from digestion buffer and placed in ~50 mL DI water to expand. Water was exchanged every 30 min until expansion was complete (typically 3–4 exchanges).

    • (3) the temperature was reduced to 50° C., the polyurethane was blocked with butanone oxime (the molar ratio of the remaining isocyanate radical content in the reaction system to the hydroxyl of the added blocking agent is 1.5), NCO % was determined to be≤0.5% and then the next step was executed;
    • (4) the temperature was reduced to room temperature, triethylamine (neutralization degree: 80%) was added to adjust the reaction pH (pH=7.5±0.5), and deionized water was added according to the solid content of 20% and stirred at a high speed (r=1000 r/min) to be self-emulsified to obtain the waterborne polyurethane self-emulsion.

Preparation of Water Repellant by Reacting Acrylate with Waterborne Polyurethane Self-Emulsion with Carbon-Carbon Double Bonds in Side Chain:

The above waterborne polyurethane emulsion with carbon-carbon double bonds in the side chain was taken and the temperature was raised to 50° C., dodecyl acrylate, butyl acrylate and methyl methacrylate were added dropwise to the polyurethane emulsion according to the molar ratio of 1:1:1 (the mass ratio of the acrylate monomer to the solid content of the polyurethane self-emulsion with carbon-carbon double bonds in the side chain was 1:1), stirred for 15 min (r=4000 r/min) under a high-speed mixer, and then kept standing for 1 h, the temperature was raised to 75° C., a potassium persulfate initiator (accounting for 0.6% of the total mass of acrylate monomer) was slowly added dropwise within 3 hours, and the material was cooled and discharged after holding for 3 h to obtain the polyurethane-acrylate water repellant (WPUA).

Note:
The washing resistance test was carried out according to the 2A test standard in AATCC Test Method 61-2010 Color Fastness to Washing. One soap washing according to the AATCC 2A standard was equivalent to 5 times of washing with an ordinary domestic washing machine; when the ratio of isocyanate radial to hydroxyl was 1.1, the prepolymer was not easy to emulsify, and the isocyanate-terminated polyurethane prepolymer was obtained; when the ratio was 1.7, the molecular weight of the polyurethane prepolymer was too large, the residual-NCO content in the system increases, and more carbamidoes witn strong water repellency were generated by emulsifying with added water, the emulsion particle size was too large, and the storage stability becomes poor.

Hydrophobic effect of product: by comparing the polyurethane acrylate water repellant prepared according to different ratios, when the ratio was 1.1 or 1.7, the prepared polyurethane emulsion was unstable and could not effectively perform a free radical polymerization with acrylate monomers. When the ratio was 1.2-1.6, the water repellant was stable, and has better water repellant effects, and good pilling resistance.

Hydrophobic effect repeatability of product: by comparing the polyurethane acrylate water repellant prepared according to different acrylate monomer ratios Embodiments 1-6, after 10 batches of finishing, the static water contact angle of the fabric finished each time had a range error of ±1°, and it could be seen from the contact angle data that the hydrophobic effect repeatability of the fabric was good.

Only preferred implementations of the disclosure are described above. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the disclosure. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the protection scope of the disclosure.

Patent 2024
Initially, a UV-curable epoxy acrylate resin was prepared by mixing monomers and reactive dilutants, as listed in Table 1. The resin was homogenously mixed using a homogenizer. The experimental setup is shown in Figure 1. In this procedure, 1 g of KH570 was blended with deionized water and ethanol at a weight ratio of 1:1:20. Following 5-minute hydroxylation at room temperature, the resulting KH570 solution was gradually introduced into a mixture of epoxy acrylate resin and mica dispersion. The mixture was stirred for 1 h at 80 °C. Subsequently, the epoxy acrylate resin and mica powder were accurately weighed and calculated in terms of weight percentage ratios of EPA, EPA/mica 5%, EPA/mica 10%, and EPA/mica 15%, respectively, with the addition of KH570 to ensure proper dispersion.

Grafted EVA copolymers were synthesized using a gamma-irradiation induced grafting method. To accomplish this, a sequence was followed. Initially, distinct mass ratios of EVA and BuA, as outlined in Table 2, were dissolved in 20 ml of toluene. Following this, the prepared solution samples underwent irradiation using gamma rays from a 60Co Indian irradiation facility gamma ray at a dose rate of 0.866 kGy/h (the establishment of this irradiation facility was overseen by the National Center for Radiation Research and Technology (NCRRT), a division of the Egyptian Atomic Energy Authority (EAEA)), the irradiation procedure was conducted under atmospheric conditions and at room temperature. The polymers resulting from the process were then precipitated using an excess amount of methanol, subjected to filtration, and finally dried under reduced pressure33 (link),35 (link)–37 (link).

Different formulations of EVA-grafted polymer.

Sample numberEVA (gm)Butyl acrylate (gm)Dose (kGy)Sample code
110(EVA)0kGy
2150(EVA)50kGy
31150(1EVA:1BuA)50kGy
41250(1EVA:2BuA)50kGy
51350(1EVA:3BuA)50kGy
During the irradiation of the initial reaction mixture, two processes occur simultaneously: graft copolymerization of BuA monomer onto EVA and Homopolymerization of Butyl acrylate (BuA) monomer resulting in the formation of poly butyl acrylate p(BuA) Homopolymer. To separate the grafted copolymer from the homopolymer, a solubilization-precipitation method was employed. The dried precipitated polymers, which included grafted EVA and the non-grafted p(BuA) Homopolymer, were dissolved in toluene and then precipitated in acetone. This caused the Non-grafted p(BuA) Homopolymer to dissolve while the grafted EVA copolymer precipitated as shown in Fig. 2. The resulting material was filtered and dried under reduced pressure until a constant weight was achieved. Key parameters for evaluating the graft polymerization, such as grafting percentage (G%), grafting efficiency (GE%), and the degree of Non-grafted p(BuA) formation (HNon-grafted p(BuA)%), were determined gravimetrically.

Preparation stages and separation of EVA-g-p(BuA).
