Abstract Considerable interest has been devoted to converting mechanical energy into electricity using polymer nanofibres. In particular, piezoelectric nanofibres produced by electrospinning have shown remarkable energy-to-electricity conversion ability. However, there is little data for the acoustic-to-electric of electrospun Here we show that nanofibre webs a strong Using poly(vinylidene fluoride) as model and sensor device transfers sound directly layer, devices can detect low-frequency...
Electrospun PVDF nanofibers with uniform fiber-morphology, smaller diameter and higher β crystal phase content show mechanical-to-electric energy conversion ability.
A freestanding conducting polymer plate with one side forming a Schottky contact and the other an Ohmic two different metal electrodes can generate DC voltage output current density as high 218.6 μA cm(-2) upon mechanical deformation.
Superhydrophobic fabrics prepared from a polydopamine coating show high water repellency, good durability and self-healing property.
A novel method to prepare durable superhydrophobic fabrics through pre‐applying an alkyl silane (alkyl chain longer than C15) onto fabric substrate and by subsequent vacuum plasma treatment in argon is reported. The treated show a contact angle of 154.2° with low hysteresis (sliding 4.5°). coatings are can withstand 150 cycles standard laundries. found significantly enhance SiOSi bonding among the molecules, leading highly crosslinked silica network. coating also shows high optical...
Abstract A novel method for preparing durable superamphiphobic fabrics is reported, which involves preapplying a solution consisting of perfluoroalkyl acrylate, epoxide‐containing silane, and silica nanoparticles onto fabric subsequent argon‐plasma treatment. The coated show superphobic to both water oil fluids (surface tension >21.5 mN m −1 ). coating withstand repeated laundries multicycles abrasion without apparently altering the superamphiphobicity. also very stable in boiling water,...
Abstract Previous studies about water harvesting from airborne moisture, which is driven by a directional transport principle, are based on either 2D surface or 1D filament. Porous membranes with capability seldom used for harvesting. Herein, novel hydrophobic/hydrophilic directional‐wicking nanofibrous membrane reported showing enhanced ability. In comparison to the hydrophobic hydrophilic of same structure and dimension, wicking fibrous have much higher capacity. This fantastic originated...
Electrospun polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) nanofiber webs have shown great potential in making mechanical-to-electrical energy conversion devices. Previously, nanofibers were produced either using near-field electrospinning (spinning distance < 1 cm) or conventional > 8 cm). PVDF fibers by an at a spinning between and cm (referred to as “short-distance” this paper) has received little attention. In study, we found that electrospun such range can still be fibers, although interfiber...
A carbon fiber yarn with a helical wrapping structure could be used as transducer to detect both subtle and larger movements.
