The GO sheets were evenly dispersed in UHMWPE with the sedimentation method of GO in saturated NaCl. The morphologies, chemical compositions, mechanical, and tribological properties of GO and surface porous GO/NaCl/UHMWPE were investigated. The results show that GO sheet and NaCl could be evenly dispersed in UHMWPE. The regular pores are present on the surface of UHMWPE after NaCl dissolution in distilled water. The wear resistance properties are improved significantly, and the friction properties increased slightly with the addition of GO and NaCl.}, number={4}, journal={POLYMERS}, author={Chen, Xiaohong and Zhang, Sheng and Zhang, Lin and Zhu, Ping and Zhang, Gangqiang}, year={2021}, month={Feb} }

FT-IR and 13C NMR were used to characterize the binding mode of alginic acid with metal ions and the arrangement of G and M groups in the molecular chain. The flame retardancy, mechanical and antibacterial properties of metal-alginate fiber were improved, while its water absorption was decreased. The results of Thermogravimetric (TG) and Limiting oxygen index (LOI) showed that the flame retardancy of metal-alginate fibers was better than that of calcium alginate fibers. The combination of metal ions and alginic acid has different improvement effect of mechanical strength and antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The multi-functional fiber is expected to be used in medical textiles and new textile fibers.}, journal={CARBOHYDRATE POLYMERS}, author={Wang, Qianqian and Zhang, Lin and Liu, Yanyan and Zhang, Gangqiang and Zhu, Ping}, year={2020}, month={Mar} }
