Simultaneously achieving excellent toughness, transparency, and gas barrier properties is still a challenge for poly(lactic acid) (PLA) films. In this work, we address an effective scalable strategy based on biaxial stretching to make superior ductile, transparent, high-barrier PLA films by incorporating polyglycolic acid (PGA) constructing transversely isotropic structure in the matrix with numerous nanocrystals nanolayer PGA phase. The endowed PLA/PGA robust chain entanglement network,...

Vanillin, as a lignin-derived mono-aromatic compound, has attracted increasing attention due to its special role an intermediate for the synthesis of different biobased polymers. Herein, intrinsically flame-retardant and thermal-conductive vanillin-based epoxy/graphene aerogel (GA) composites were designed. First, bifunctional phenol (DN-bp) was synthesized by coupling vanillin with 4, 4'-diaminodiphenylmethane DOPO, epoxy monomer (MEP) obtained epoxidation reaction DN-bp epichlorohydrin....

Abstract Dendritic deposition and side reactions have been long‐standing interfacial challenges of Zn anode, which prevented the development practical aqueous zinc‐based batteries. Herein, an oxygen vacancy‐rich CeO 2 aerogel (VAG‐Ce) interface layer that simultaneously integrates 2+ selectivity, porosity, is lightweight reported as a new strategy to achieve dendrite‐free corrosion‐free anodes. The well‐defined uniform nanochannels VAG‐Ce can act ion sieves redistribute at anode surface by...

Polyglycolic acid (PGA) is considered a promising competitor in green packaging due to its superior strength and outstanding barrier properties, but applications are limited by inherent brittleness. Traditional toughening methods usually accompanied sacrifices both properties. In this work, robust high-barrier PGA/poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) films were prepared combining reactive compatibilization, biaxial drawing, constrained annealing processes. The abundant uniformly...

Abstract The cracks in flexible triboelectric nanogenerators (TENG) cannot naturally repair themselves during low‐temperature operation, which significantly restricts their practical applications. Yet, the development of elastomers capable self‐repair at low temperatures has remained a formidable challenge.
